    Welcome to The Summer Escape Issue.
    This issue encourages you to explore and unwind as summer unfolds.
    For our cover, we partnered with MAISWIM in The Free Spirit, the new swimwear brand rethinking a billion-dollar industry, a testament to founder Tania Santos Silva’s creative mindset and freedom of thought.
    We deliver you the best edits for summer dressing from lowkey cool in The Bucket Hat, to solid investments to see you through summer until closing in The Summer Essentials. Beauty and lifestyle wise, we roadtest the best Pilates studios to carve and hone the body in Stretch It Out, Michele Barclay, founder of Browz discusses the art of effortless brows so you can stay low maintenance beachside in Laminate on and we deliver the ultimate essentials for summer hair protection in Under the Heat.

    Finally, in terms of wanderlust, we share the natural beauty of Six Senses Ibiza, an unexpected haven of peace on the magical island and Anantara Santorini, delivers the best of Greece close to home for those staying put this summer in Island Escape. Rest, recharge and refocus this summer.
    Rest, recharge and refocus this summer. It’s time to level up…

    Michele Barclay, Founder of BROWZ, speaks to Emirates Woman about designing her personal space and how it reflects her personality.
    How long have you been in this space?
    We have lived in this home for five years now. During that time, we have re-designed it many times.
    Have you custom-built any bespoke pieces?
    We custom-designed our living room sofa to be extra-large and deep enough for us all to lounge in complete comfort. The kitchen sofa was also custom-built in white linen with a concrete base. The original grey tiles in the living area were changed to wooden flooring, to give a more grounding warm feel and the stairs were carpeted. We also opened the kitchen by adding in large sliding doors to enhance the natural light and bring the garden in.
    How do you think the interior buys reflect you?
    A Zen-like space that is minimal and flowing. White gives a sense of lightness of being and a place to fully recharge and totally switch off. The clean lines provide focus on the key pieces while providing a place to enjoy Pilates and meditation.
    Describe your taste in three words.
    Minimal, spacious, grounding.
