As summer sunsets grow earlier and evenings stretch longer, Le Creuset has announced a new star to brighten the season: Nuit , the brand’s deepest, most dramatic blue to date. Inspired by the mystery and elegance of the night sky, Nuit is not just another shade of blue. This luxurious, velvety hue glides from near-black to a true, rich blue in a subtle ombré effect — a sophisticated colourway designed to anchor every autumnal ritual. Whether it’s the backdrop for a decadent dinner party, moody tablescapes, or the comforting vessel for your evening cup, Nuit invites warmth and connection as the days grow darker. Available across Le Creuset’s iconic enamelled Cast Iron collection and refined stoneware, Nuit promises to make a statement in any kitchen. The new line features the brand’s signature chrome knob, shimmering like a star against the deep blue finish. For those who love to play with colour, Nuit pairs beautifully with Shell Pink or Volcanic, offering a daring palette that adds vibrancy and life to the home. Marianna Spiliotopoulos, Head of Marketing at Le Creuset, shares: “We’re super excited to launch Nuit, our most dramatic blue yet. At Le Creuset, we are trendsetters in colourful cookware, and we love to lean into striking colours. With Nuit, we pay homage to the essence of the night, when the sky darkens and celebrations take place. Here, whether it be a party or a shared meal together, we want people to use Nuit to create new memories.” More than just a colour, Nuit embodies the mood of late summer and early autumn — dark, captivating, and inviting deeper conversation around the table. And with Le Creuset’s lifetime guarantee on all cookware, this unique shade can be cherished and enjoyed for years to come. Nuit is available now in all Le Creuset boutiques and online. https://www.lecreuset.co.uk/en_GB/c/shop-by-colour/nuit

What if your journey to the Indian Ocean didn’t begin with a long-haul flight and a dash to the resort, but instead unfolded as a curated, two-part experience — city sparkle first, then barefoot bliss? JA Resorts & Hotels has quietly launched one of this summer’s most seductive luxury travel pairings: book seven nights at their ultra-exclusive JA Manafaru in the Maldives or JA Enchanted Island Resort in the Seychelles, and they’ll gift you a complimentary two-night stay in Dubai. Yes, really. This is the luxury layover — reimagined. Part One: Your Dubai Prelude Before you’ve even dipped a toe into the Indian Ocean, Dubai greets you with a little glamour of its own. And with a choice of three very different stays, your mood can set the tone. Feel like easing in by the beach? JA Ocean View Hotel in Jumeirah Beach Residence gives you floor-to-ceiling views of the Gulf and direct access to one of Dubai’s buzziest waterfronts. Prefer a wellness reset or early tee time? JA Lake View Hotel, nestled within a 128-acre resort, offers golf, horseback riding, and a serene start to your journey . Or, if you’re the kind of traveller who likes a slower pace and a morning hike in the mountains, JA Hatta Fort Hotel delivers seclusion and wild beauty — just 90 minutes from the city. You’ll get breakfast included, and two nights to press pause before your next chapter begins. Part Two: Island Time, Redefined Then comes the main event. In the Maldives, JA Manafaru offers that castaway fantasy with a cultured edge — think water villas, manta ray sightings, and all-inclusive gourmet dining in the northernmost atoll of the archipelago. It’s private, untouched, and utterly postcard-worthy. Meanwhile, over in the Seychelles, JA Enchanted Island Resort offers something even rarer: the chance to fully take over an entire private island (11 villas, two lodge rooms) if you wish. There’s kitesurfing, yes — but also helicopter tours, catamaran dinners, and total privacy in one of the world’s most protected marine reserves. Why Now? 2025 is already being dubbed the year of the long getaway , with more luxury travellers opting to extend their stays and experience multiple destinations in one trip. But it’s rare to find a package that blends city, sea, and service with this much fluidity — and with complimentary nights in a destination like Dubai, it feels like the kind of elevated travel decision you’d only hear whispered about by someone in-the-know. Now you’re in the know. JA Manafaru  from £700 per night JA Enchanted Island Resort  from £750 per night Two-night Dubai stay complimentary with seven-night booking.

British jeweller Monica Vinader has launched its latest collection, meet Nomade -- an ultra-bold new line that draws inspiration from the natural world and the free spirit of exploration. Sculptural and tactile, the pieces are designed to be worn every day, with a focus on timeless design and considered craftsmanship, as in keeping with this British brand.  Founded in 2008 from a converted forge in Norfolk, the brand was built on Monica Vinader’s belief that fine jewellery shouldn’t be kept for special occasions. Her pieces perfectly balance the classic and the contemporary, refinement and relaxation; after all, these pieces have been designed and made to be lived in, and loved. Over the past 15 years, the brand has grown into a global name, recognised for its modern aesthetic and strong ethical principles, and as such, all the collections are now made using 100% recycled precious metals, with full traceability from source to finished piece. Nomade continues this direction, with pieces that are crafted from recycled 18ct gold vermeil, reflecting the brand’s ongoing commitment to sustainable production. Drawing influence from dramatic wind-sculpted dunes, rock formations and clay ridges, the collection showcases natural forms.  Expect smooth metal finishes that are set against the softness of pearls that creates an interesting contrast, with a line that is made up of sculptural hoops, huggies, and drop earrings, along with fluid pendant necklaces, layering chains, and pearl-accented styles. You'll also find statement cuffs, curved bangles, and soft-link bracelets, plus chunky rings and stackable bands with organic, asymmetrical shapes. Every piece is designed to feel relaxed and wearable, with flowing lines and a polished finish that's a signature of Monica Vinader.

Tucked away behind a discreet façade in one of London’s most desirable neighbourhoods lies a house that once belonged to British style royalty. The former St John’s Wood home of Kate Moss, known for its air of mystery and moments of fashion folklore, has quietly re-emerged on the market, listed with Arlington Residential for £5.95 million. But this isn’t just a celebrity home with a glamorous past. It’s a house with rare character — one that has evolved over decades while keeping its sense of calm, privacy and proportion intact. Back in 1993, the property was a handsome period building arranged over two floors. It sold for less than £800,000. By the early 2000s, it had caught the attention of Moss, who purchased it for £1.75 million, no doubt drawn to the blend of grandeur and discretion it offered. She held onto the house for a decade before selling in 2012, reportedly for £6.8 million. Now , for the first time in over ten years, the house is available once again. And while it may not scream for attention, its charms are hard to ignore. A sweeping drawing room with ceiling heights to rival any West End gallery, soft natural light pouring in through tall sash windows, and a lower-ground kitchen and entertaining level that flows seamlessly onto the southwest-facing walled garden — these are the sort of details you don’t easily find in London property today. There’s a quiet confidence to the layout: elegant without being showy, inviting without being over-designed. The garden itself, unusually large for the area, offers a rare dose of tranquillity, while the house’s tucked-away setting means it remains almost entirely unseen from the street. It’s this sense of invisibility that’s likely to appeal most to the next buyer: someone who wants luxury and space without the performance of it. “Buyers at this level tend to know what they want — and often, that’s privacy,” says Marc Schneiderman, Director at Arlington Residential, who has a long-standing relationship with the property. “This home offers exactly that, without compromising on light or layout.” St John’s Wood has long held appeal for A-listers and low-key creatives alike — close enough to central London for convenience, far enough for peace. It’s where grand villas sit quietly behind hedgerows, and where properties of this calibre rarely come up for sale. Yes, it’s a house once owned by Kate Moss. But more than that, it’s a house that understands discretion, and for many luxury buyers, that’s the ultimate status symbol.

Australian chef Scott Hallsworth is bringing his rule-breaking, cult-favourite dining concept Freak Scene  to the heart of Soho for an exclusive pop-up in partnership with the Evolv Collection. Launching 22nd July and running through to November 2025, the residency will take over the ground floor of the iconic 100 Wardour Street. This marks a long-awaited homecoming for Freak Scene , as well as the first and only pan-Asian offering within the Evolv Collection’s growing portfolio. Known for his provocative, punk-spirited approach to cuisine, Hallsworth’s cooking fuses Japanese izakaya influences with bold Aussie flair—delivered with an unapologetic sense of fun. Hallsworth rose to prominence as Head Chef at both Nobu London and Nobu Melbourne, before founding the critically acclaimed Kurobuta, with outposts in Chelsea, Knightsbridge and Marble Arch. Since launching Freak Scene , the chef has carved out a rebellious niche with dishes that are as loud and flavour-packed as the environments they’re served in. The Soho pop-up will showcase signature Freak Scene  favourites, including chilli crab wonton bombs, miso-grilled hispi cabbage, and red curry duck donut buns—alongside a selection of new dishes crafted especially for the Soho crowd. A riotous Saturday brunch will also be on offer, pairing pan-Asian plates with hip-hop beats, graffiti-scrawled walls, and an atmosphere that crackles with energy. “This is possibly the most exciting news I’ve been able to share since founding Freak Scene ,” said Scott Hallsworth. “Not only are we heading back to our Soho roots, but we get to team up with the brilliant Evolv Collection at the iconic 100 Wardour Street. I can barely wait.” The partnership marks the first major collaboration under Evolv Collection’s new CEO Martin Williams, signalling a fresh and contemporary vision for the group. Williams—also behind the launch of Pont Plage , the riverside beach pop-up, and the new Bluebird Club private members’ spaces in Chelsea and the City—has been steadily reshaping the Evolv experience to appeal to a broader, more dynamic demographic. “I’ve been a fan of Scott’s food since his Kurobuta days,” said Martin Williams. “His creativity, edge, and mastery of flavour have always stood out. We’re thrilled to be welcoming Freak Scene  to 100 Wardour Street. It’s a perfect fit—and the start of something very exciting.” The Freak Scene x 100 Wardour Street  pop-up opens its doors on 22nd July and will run until the end of November. Reservations are now open via freakscene.100wardourst.com .

A former LVMH insider has joined forces with leading luxury property operator Rhodium, signalling a growing convergence between fashion’s most prestigious houses and the world of ultra-prime real estate. In a move that speaks volumes about the evolving face of luxury, Rhodium, one of the UK’s foremost operators of ultra-high-end residential developments, has announced the appointment of a former LVMH Director of Acquisitions as Strategic Advisor. But this isn’t just a senior hire—it’s a statement of intent. With a CV that includes steering landmark acquisitions at LVMH and founding the boutique advisory firm Savigny Partners, the new advisor brings decades of experience from the very top of the fashion and beauty world. He’s worked with icons like Lanvin, Christian Lacroix, Byredo, Delvaux, and Tom Dixon, and advised on deals that shaped the modern luxury landscape. At LVMH, he reported directly to Bernard Arnault, leading group-wide transactions across fashion, fragrance, jewellery, and more. Now, he’s turning his attention to bricks and mortar. “He’s been at the forefront of some of the most iconic transactions in the luxury industry,” says Dean Main, CEO of Rhodium. “His deep understanding of brand strategy and positioning brings invaluable expertise to Rhodium as we expand our global footprint in the branded residences sector.” It’s a natural evolution. As fashion houses increasingly move beyond handbags and haute couture to launch branded residences, hotels, and lifestyle experiences, the boundaries between fashion, real estate, and hospitality are blurring. Rhodium sits at the intersection, offering world-class operational and advisory services to some of the world’s most prestigious new-build addresses. The company currently manages a portfolio worth ov er £12 billion, including iconic developments like Riviera Tower in Athens, 60 Curzon in Mayfair, Regents Crescent, and The Bryanston in Marylebone. Their role goes beyond management—Rhodium helps shape the DNA of a development from pre-planning through to post-completion living. “Rhodium’s position as a trusted operator in both branded and non-branded residences is unique,” the advisor commented. “I’m excited to support the team in building new partnerships and driving growth in a market that’s increasingly focused on world-class service and brand experience.” The partnership marks a telling moment in the luxury market. No longer are the world’s top luxury executives focused solely on fashion capital runways. Today, the most discerning buyers want homes that reflect their lifestyles—and heritage brands, through strategic operators like Rhodium, are beginning to deliver. London, it seems, isn’t just home to some of Europe’s finest boutiques. It’s becoming the next runway for high-end residential living.

In the heart of Paris this July, as the Seine shimmered and the city’s grand maisons unveiled their Autumn/Winter 2025 couture, one thing became abundantly clear: fantasy is back, and it’s never looked so commanding. Haute Couture Week, that rare and rarified moment in the fashion calendar, returned not just with tulle and theatrics, but with a regal defiance. These weren’t dresses for dainty princesses. They were gowns built for empresses...women of substance, power, and unapologetic glamour. While the front row dazzled with the likes of Kim Kardashian channelling Elizabeth Taylor at Balenciaga, and appearances from Nicole Kidman, Keira Knightley, Dua Lipa and Cardi B, the true spectacle played out on the runway. Here are the moments that defined a season ruled by exquisite craft and untouchable elegance. Elie Saab: The Return of Royalty Titled La Nouvelle Cour —The New Court—Elie Saab’s AW25 collection was nothing short of majestic. Set against a dramatic, shadow-lit backdrop, each look told the story of a woman born to reign. There were sweeping gowns in porcelain pink, imperial gold, raven black, and ice-blue Regency tones. Every seam was sculpted, every embellishment deliberate—from hand-stitched blooms that curled across bodices to sheer capes that billowed with barely a whisper. Silhouettes nodded to 19th-century crinolines and corsetry, but Saab’s genius lies in his restraint. This was grandeur, yes, but tempered with lightness: skin revealed through illusion tulle, waistlines softened by silk organza, and modernity whispered through cut-outs and confident sheers. Hair was undone, makeup minimal. This wasn’t costume—it was couture for a woman who rules with quiet power. Giambattista Valli: The Art of Excess With his 29th couture collection, Giambattista Valli made an unapologetic statement. His pièce de résistance? A sunshine-yellow gown of architectural tulle, embroidered with fantastical flora and measuring nearly five metres across. In lesser hands, this much volume would overwhelm. But Valli's skill lies in balance—his floral embellishments added softness, while the structural precision anchored the whimsy. It was a look made for museum halls, grand staircases, and red carpets that demand to be conquered. Robert Wun & Armani Privé: Opposites That Allure If Saab and Valli channelled aristocratic opulence, Robert Wun brought sharp-edged mystique. His gowns were encrusted with thousands of hand-set crystals, catching the light like armour. These were garments for the woman who walks through fire—and ensures it burns for her. Meanwhile, Giorgio Armani offered a masterclass in elegance pared back. At Armani Privé, slim silhouettes, shimmering satin, and architectural necklines provided a quiet, commanding alternative. Understated? Yes. Unforgettable? Absolutely. The Verdict: Couture Reclaimed This season, couture didn’t whisper. It declared. It reminded us that fashion at this level is more than beauty—it's theatre, symbolism, and precision. AW25 marked a shift. Not toward novelty, but toward timeless power dressing—reimagined. We saw the grandeur of history, reworked for the future. The craftsmanship was intimate. The message was universal: elegance is eternal, but relevance requires reinvention. In a world teetering between chaos and creation, couture remains one of the last true luxuries: time, talent, and imagination stitched into wearable masterpieces. For those who live beyond trend cycles, this was a season to remember.

Now, the historic bar steps into a vibrant new era with the launch of a chic outdoor terrace and a refreshed cocktail menu that blends timeless elegance with modern mixology. Following the relaunch of the Café Royal Grill – now serving guests for both lunch and dinner – the Green Bar Summer Terrace completes a stylish revival of this legendary London institution.

The offering is thoughtfully split into three key collections: Unique Experiences: Bold, rare, and refined, including the d’Azur Negroni  and Seventy One Gold Martini . Seasonal Pairings: Innovative twists on spirit-forward drinks, like Scotch & Mango  and Mezcal & Ancho . Signature Classics: Resurrected recipes from 1930s bartending greats, including the Café Royal Special , a refreshing mix of Hendrick’s Gin, Boatyard Sloe Gin, Crème de Mûre and Lemon Juice. There’s also a dedicated non-alcoholic cocktail menu, with options like Peach & Hibiscus  and Basil & Apple  for those seeking the same craftsmanship, minus the alcohol. Collaborations and Takeovers on the Terrace To mark the terrace launch, Green Bar is also partnering with some of the world’s most respected spirits brands in a rolling Terrace Series. June kicked off with Martini Month in collaboration with Berry Bros. & Rudd, while July brings a sustainable twist with Fielden Rye Whisky and summer-perfect Mint Juleps . More terrace takeovers are planned throughout the summer, making Green Bar not just a place to drink – but a place to discover. Stylish, historic, and effortlessly cool, the Green Bar’s new terrace offers Londoners a fresh way to soak up the city’s cocktail culture. And with golden hour just around the corner, there’s never been a better time to take your seat. For more information or to explore the menu, visit Hotel Café Royal’s Green Bar.

If you’ve ever dreamt of living like James Bond, now’s your chance. A stunning five-bedroom townhouse on Wellington Square – the leafy Chelsea address cited as the fictional home of 007 – has just hit the market for £6.45 million. Launched by boutique agency AZ Real Estate, 30 Wellington Square is a grand Grade II-listed property set across five floors, with over 2,600 sq ft of space and access to one of London’s most picturesque private garden squares. The address holds a unique place in British literary history. In Ian Fleming’s James Bond novels, Wellington Square is referenced as Bond’s London residence, with biographer John Pearson pinpointing the exact location as No. 30. But Bond isn’t the only notable name associated with the square – former Prime Minister Herbert Asquith and Winnie the Pooh  author A.A. Milne are also among its past residents. Behind its immaculate stucco frontage, 30 Wellington Square offers a mix of period features and contemporary upgrades. Think tall sash windows, high ceilings, and decorative cornicing – all paired with stylish modern interiors. The layout includes several reception rooms, a formal dining area, six bathrooms, a private garden, and a sunlit roof terrace with views over Chelsea's rooftops. There’s even parking right outside – perfect for your own Aston Martin. “30 Wellington Square is a truly exceptional family home, with timeless architecture and stucco frontage, a spacious internal layout and outdoor spaces, all in a leafy prime Chelsea location. Regardless of any connection to James Bond or other distinguished figures who have inhabited this tranquil square, it’s a remarkable residence that has been beautifully maintained.” Located just moments from the bustling boutiques and restaurants of King’s Road, Wellington Square offers an enviable balance of central convenience and serene garden square living. Residents also benefit from access to the square’s landscaped gardens and a peaceful community atmosphere in the heart of London. 30 Wellington Square is available through AZ Real Estate for £6,450,000.

In an age of AI image drops, algorithm-led interiors and virtual galleries, something quietly powerful is making its way back into the luxury space: real, tangible art. The resurgence isn’t driven by nostalgia, but by clarity. For the modern luxury consumer – one who values substance over spectacle – the shift toward the timeless is a return to self. A return to intention. At the forefront of this movement is Yield Gallery, a boutique art house with roots in London’s Fitzrovia and a new outpost in Dubai’s World Trade Centre district. Known for its access to museum-grade works from the likes of Banksy, Warhol, Hockney, Hambleton and Retna, the gallery has cultivated a trusted name among discerning collectors. But unlike traditional galleries, Yield isn’t interested in hype, prestige, or who-you-know exclusivity. Their focus is simpler, yet infinitely more compelling: connection. “We’re not chasing what’s trending,” says Founder and CEO David Izzard. “We’re here for people who want something lasting, something human.” A new era of collecting While global art sales dipped slightly in 2024, the number of transactions rose – a sign that collectors are becoming more intentional. They’re choosing carefully. Collecting with purpose. And more than ever, they’re prioritising pieces that speak to who they are, not just what they can afford. The approach is paying off. Recent academic research suggests that portfolios including just 20% of blue-chip art enjoy stronger risk-adjusted returns – in some cases outperforming the S&P 500. But at Yield, the story goes far beyond investment. This month, the gallery opens She Who Dares, a vibrant new exhibition spotlighting UK artists Fern and Danielle Tomlinson. The show blends bold, expressive storytelling with meaningful philanthropy, with proceeds supporting causes including Bowel Cancer UK and The Big Cat Sanctuary. “There’s no ego here,” says Creative Manager Lily Pritchard. “We’re about placing great work with great people – whether they’re first-time collectors or seasoned buyers.” Art without the artifice Forget the glitzy auctions and buzzwords. Yield Gallery offers quiet access to world-class pieces, personal placements and beautifully curated exhibitions – all without pretence. Their model speaks directly to a growing demographic of luxury buyers who value discretion, taste, and integrity. Nowhere is that more evident than in Dubai. Led by on-site Creative Director Henry O’Dwyer, the new space is already redefining expectations in the region. “Luxury today isn’t about access,” says O’Dwyer. “It’s about curation, credibility, and care.” The new definition of luxury Whether it’s a limited-edition print or a one-of-a-kind original, what Yield offers is rare: the opportunity to collect with meaning. To surround yourself with pieces that reflect your values, not just your wallet. Because for those who understand true luxury, collecting isn’t about keeping up. It’s about holding onto what matters. She Who Dares opens with a private launch on 10 July 2025 at Yield Gallery, Eastcastle Street, London, and is open to the public from 11 July.

There is a particular moment, just before sunset, when the light over Falésia Beach turns molten gold. The tide whispers against the shore, glasses clink softly in the background, and laughter hums beneath the music. In this moment, suspended between day and night, Thai Beach Club Algarve reveals its magic. Set above one of Portugal’s most iconic stretches of coastline, Thai Beach Club is not merely a venue, it’s a feeling. A destination born of contrasts, it dances between restraint and revelry, serenity and celebration. Here, the art of hospitality is practiced with intention. It is not about spectacle, but sensation. Not just taste, but texture. Not yesterday, not tomorrow, but now. Founded by visionary entrepreneur Gisueppi Di Ursi, Thai Beach Club is the result of a singular belief: that luxury is not defined by things, but by moments; intimate, vivid, unforgettable. “We don’t just serve food or music. We sell emotions. We sell presence. We create stories that begin the moment our guests arrive.” By day, that story begins with refined calm. Sunlight dances off crystal glasses, as dishes inspired by Thai and Mediterranean traditions arrive in elegant sequence. papaya salads with a European twist, delicately spiced curries offset by the brightness of Algarve citrus, line-caught Thai seabass fried to perfection. Every ingredient is a study in quality, every plate a quiet ode to craftsmanship. The interiors echo this balance. Sleek, sculptural lines. Soft neutral palettes. Tables arranged to frame the sea like a living painting. There is no need to impress here, it already does. But as dusk settles, the energy shifts. Tables are cleared, lights go on, and the air begins to pulse with possibility. The restaurant evolves, not with suddenness but with grace. The glamour is understated, the crowd polished and international, Premier League footballers, discreet billionaires, and the sort of well-travelled creatives who know exactly where to find the extraordinary. Many stars have walked these wooden floors and toasted to nights they hoped would never end. What sets Thai Beach Club apart in a region blessed with beauty is not simply its location, nor its diserning appeal, but its unwavering dedication to curation. Themed nights are carefully designed, not manufactured. From elegant white-and-gold soirées to euphoric, percussion-filled sunset sessions, each evening is a performance without pretence. The music moves with the mood, subtle at first, swelling with the crowd; until suddenly, the whole space is alive. Drinks are crafted, not poured. A martini is never rushed. A spritz is not just refreshing; it’s ritual. The cocktail list reads like a travelogue of flavour: Italian bergamot, French vermouths, and barrel-aged rums from the Caribbean. There is always champagne. Always something to celebrate. For those in search of more than a meal, more than a party, Thai Beach Club offers what few places can: an atmosphere that meets you where you are, then quietly elevates you. You arrive seeking a table or a track, and leave with a memory that feels dreamlike in hindsight. This is not a place to see and be seen, it is a place to feel. And in a world where attention is currency and silence is rare, Thai Beach Club dares to offer a different kind of luxury: presence. Connection. Emotion. Just minutes from Vilamoura Marina, but a world away in spirit, Thai Beach Club Algarve stands as a beacon for those who expect more. more detail, more depth, more soul. A place for long lunches that spill into golden hour, and nights that refuse to end. Because the best stories are not told. They are lived. And at Thai Beach Club, the next one begins with a toast to now.
