Welcome to The Party Issue.
In this issue we balance work and play. We partnered with BYFAR for a cover that celebrates fun and freedom with the coolest touch of nineties revival. Our cover star Haya Jarrar, Founder of Romani is an incredible woman with both beauty and business acumen.
We’ve gone all-out this issue in terms of the experts with exclusive interviews from designer Alexandre Vauthier in The Showstopper, ex-Chief Marketing & Membership Officer for Soho House, Jodie Harrison in the Guestlist, tablescape guru Fiona Leahy in The Party Planner and global go-to for sequins Retrofête in Welcome To The Party.
The Hero Buys delivers high shine dressing, we look at a modern take on the classic tuxedo in Le Smoking and channel desk to dinner cool with transformative accessories in Crystal Clear.
In terms of beauty we look at balms to keep skin smooth in Winter Skin, compile the perfect edit for exceptional fragrances that last all night long in After Hours, hero the party prep must-haves in Polished and an interview Sofia Schwarzkopf-Tilbury on how to up the ante for party season in The Magic Touch. We also hear from incredible women on what keeps them looking fresh during the festive season in The Skin Saviours.
If you’re still undecided on where to celebrate, The Supper Club will be your guide with our edit of the superlative establishments in Dubai.
As 2020 comes to a close, we stay grateful for the lessons this year has taught us and what better lesson than to live in the moment. See you on the dancefloor.
