I’m going to be honest—when I first heard about Masseter Botox, I was intrigued but also pretty terrified. The thought of needles anywhere near my jaw made me sweat a little. But after years of suffering from teeth grinding (bruxism), something had to give. I’d already broken through several retainers from clenching my jaw so hard at night, essentially making my years of braces feel pointless. I was waking up constantly with a sore jaw and headaches that lasted all day. No night guard or mouthpiece could save me, so when I found out about Karidis Clinic and their reputation for Botox, I took a deep breath and decided to go for it. First Impressions: From Fear to Reassurance Walking into Karidis Clinic, I was still nervous, but the atmosphere immediately put me at ease. It’s hard to describe, but the place just feels  calm—like you’re in the right hands. The staff greeted me warmly, and before I knew it, I was in my consultation. My practitioner, Stevie, was incredibly reassuring, explaining exactly how Botox injections into the masseter muscles would help relax my jaw and put an end to my teeth grinding. When they told me my masseter muscles had become so strong from years of grinding that they were contributing to my face looking more square, I wasn’t surprised. It was like my body was screaming out for help, and I hadn’t listened. I couldn’t believe that Botox, something I always associated with smoothing wrinkles, could actually relieve this pain—and even help slim my face in the process. That part was an unexpected bonus, but first and foremost, I just wanted to stop breaking retainers and finally sleep through the night. The Procedure: Conquering My Fear of Needles Now, here’s where I faced my biggest challenge: the needles. I’m not going to lie—I was nervous. But I’ve never felt more reassured than in that treatment room. The practitioner explained each step of the process, keeping everything calm and lighthearted, which helped me relax a bit. The injections were tiny, and honestly, I barely felt them. It was over so fast that I almost laughed at how much I’d built it up in my head. The whole procedure took about 20 minutes, tops. I was in and out before I had time to overthink anything, and I didn’t even need to hide my face afterwards—there was no real downtime. The Results: Sweet Relief (and an Unexpected Bonus!) The results took a couple of weeks to really kick in, but wow, when they did, I could barely believe it. I stopped waking up in the middle of the night with that sharp jaw pain. My headaches disappeared, and for the first time in years, I was actually getting restful sleep. Honestly, I don’t know how I lived like that for so long—my energy levels, my mood, everything improved. But here’s the kicker—my face actually  started to look different. As the masseter muscles relaxed, my jawline softened, and my face appeared noticeably slimmer. I wasn’t expecting such a dramatic change in my appearance, but let me tell you, it was a welcome surprise. All those years of tension had made my face look bulkier than I realized, and the slimming effect was just an added confidence boost. The Top-Up: Even Strong Jaw Muscles Need a Little Extra Love After about two months, I went back for a follow-up. My masseter muscles were especially strong from all those years of grinding, so the practitioner recommended a top-up treatment. Thankfully, this was included in the original fee—no surprise extra costs (which I loved). The top-up helped fully relax my muscles, and the care I received at Karidis Clinic never wavered. They made sure I got the best possible result and didn’t treat me like just another appointment on the schedule. Why Karidis Clinic Was the Best Choice for Me Now, months after the treatment, I’m still feeling the benefits. My jaw pain is gone, I’m no longer grinding my teeth to the point of destruction, and my face looks more defined than ever. But more than the physical changes, it’s the relief from years of discomfort that’s been the biggest life-changer. I wish I’d known about Masseter Botox sooner—it would have saved me a lot of broken retainers and sleepless nights! If you’re like me and absolutely hate needles (but hate pain even more), trust me when I say Karidis Clinic will make the whole process feel effortless. They genuinely care about your comfort and the outcome. Whether you’re looking to relieve the pain from teeth grinding or just want to explore the face-slimming benefits, masseter Botox at Karidis Clinic is worth every moment of anxiety I felt. It’s been a true game-changer for me, and I can’t thank the team enough for helping me finally get the restful nights—and the face shape—I never knew I needed!

The name "James Bond" conjures up more than just thrilling action sequences and high-stakes espionage—it's synonymous with timeless style. From the first film Dr. No to the latest No Time To Die, the Bond franchise has set a high standard for cinematic fashion, captivating audiences for over six decades. Costume designer Lindy Hemming, who worked on five of the series’ films, perhaps captured it best when she said, "I don’t know any other film series that has created such a definitive style for its main character—one that’s captivated audiences for over sixty years.” Now, fans and fashion enthusiasts alike can dive into the world of 007’s wardrobe with James Bond Style, a comprehensive new book that explores the fashion legacy of the iconic film series. Written by Hemming herself, this visual anthology takes readers on a sartorial journey through all twenty-five Bond films, covering not only the wardrobe of the famous spy but also the stylish looks of his adversaries, love interests, and colleagues. With text and captions penned by Hemming, an introduction from Dylan Jones OBE, editor-in-chief of the London Evening Standard, and contributions from renowned fashion designers and actors, the book stands as a definitive celebration of Bond’s inimitable style. The Timeless Wardrobe of 007 The book organizes its chapters chronologically, corresponding to each Bond actor—Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan, and Daniel Craig—offering an insightful look at how the style of Bond evolved through the decades. From Connery’s classic tuxedos in Dr. No to Craig’s sleek modern ensembles in Casino Royale and No Time To Die, the book highlights the most iconic outfits worn by each iteration of the superspy. Readers are treated to behind-the-scenes stories and fashion insights from the costume designers and fashion houses involved in crafting these looks. For instance, thirty-three custom-made Tom Ford tuxedos were created for Daniel Craig in No Time To Die to accommodate the rigours of filming. The scale of the production behind Bond’s wardrobe is nothing short of impressive: for Quantum of Solace, Prada fabricated twenty versions of a single dress for actress Olga Kurylenko, one for each stage of the film’s action, from pristine to completely destroyed. Memorable Moments in Bond Fashion James Bond Style also delves into some of the most memorable fashion moments in cinematic history. From Ursula Andress’ iconic white bikini scene in Dr. No, which has since become an unforgettable pop culture moment, to Halle Berry’s homage to that look in her orange La Perla bathing suit in Die Another Day, the book explores these timeless scenes in vivid detail. Daniel Craig’s unexpected viral moment in Casino Royale, where he emerges from the water in La Perla trunks—one of which later sold for £44,450 at auction—also takes centre stage. The inclusion of never-before-seen sketches, detailed fashion breakdowns, and commentary from the likes of Donatella Versace, Tom Ford, and Jenny Packham enhances the book’s comprehensive approach to understanding the immense work that goes into creating Bond’s polished image. It showcases the meticulous craftsmanship required to bring 007’s world to life, both on screen and in the imagination of audiences. A Fashion Legacy, Captured Like Never Before While James Bond’s missions often involve saving the world, James Bond Style reveals that he’s also an enduring symbol of impeccable fashion. With 232 illustrations spread across 336 pages, this beautifully crafted volume—dubbed the ultimate Bond style bible—offers readers an unparalleled look into the artistry behind one of cinema’s most stylish franchises. In addition to the costumes themselves, James Bond Style pays tribute to the talents who brought them to life. Hemming’s text is full of personal anecdotes from her time on the Bond sets, giving readers an insider’s view of the thought process behind some of the most iconic outfits in film history. Hemming is no stranger to the world of high-stakes costume design, having earned an Academy Award for Topsy-Turvy and garnered acclaim for her work on Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight trilogy and Patty Jenkins' Wonder Woman. For any fan of James Bond, fashion, or cinema history, James Bond Style is a treasure trove of visual splendour and insightful narrative. Whether you're fascinated by the character’s sharp suits, the glamorous gowns of his love interests, or the bold fashion choices of his nemeses, this book captures it all. With its release in October 2024, this elegant tome will make a perfect addition to the bookshelf of any film or fashion enthusiast. Its meticulous attention to detail and behind-the-scenes stories ensure that no other book has chronicled the sartorial evolution of James Bond as comprehensively as this one.

On 8th October 2024, Sanlorenzo, the Italian maestros of yacht and superyacht design, unveiled two new models in the UK: the SL86A and SP92. These yachts, which first made waves at the Cannes Yacht Show 2024, showcase Sanlorenzo’s dedication to innovation and sustainability. With sizes slightly smaller than their predecessors, both models promise expansive, fully customisable interiors that offer yacht owners complete creative freedom. Nick Hatfield, Sales Manager at Sanlorenzo Yachts UK, highlights the growing demand for personalised yachts in the UK. "The new models showcase artisanal craftsmanship, cutting-edge technology, and space-enhancing design," Hatfield says. These attributes reflect the desires of today’s discerning yacht owner, combining style with functionality. SL86A: A Masterpiece of Asymmetry The SL86A, developed in partnership with Studio Zuccon International Project, redefines space on board by eliminating one of the two external walkways. This allows for an expanded living area on the main deck, where entertaining and relaxation take centre stage. The deck layout can also be adapted for additional uses such as a cinema or playroom, a feature unique to this size category. From floor-to-ceiling windows offering panoramic sea views to the seamless integration of outdoor sunbathing areas, the SL86A is designed to immerse passengers in the beauty of the open water. Interior materials like untreated wood, marble, and natural fabrics bring a sense of transparency and lightness, ensuring elegance at every corner. Sustainability is key, as Sanlorenzo integrates recycled and recyclable materials into the yacht’s construction while a hydrodynamic hull optimises fuel consumption. SP92: A Sporty, Sustainable Powerhouse The SP92 builds on Sanlorenzo’s Smart Performance line, featuring a design optimised for efficiency and sustainability. The yacht’s high-performance monocrystalline photovoltaic system and specially engineered hull reduce its environmental footprint, consuming up to 13% less fuel than conventional designs. The SP92 blends sportiness and luxury, boasting sleek lines and expansive customisable spaces, including a 45-square-metre beach area. Inside, the SP92 offers four levels of living space, including a full-beam owner’s cabin and an optional fourth cabin that can double as a playroom or cinema. The yacht also provides waterjet propulsion, delivering 4,000 horsepower for those seeking speed and power on the seas. Sanlorenzo’s Vision for the Future Founded in 1958, Sanlorenzo continues to lead the luxury yacht market by combining traditional craftsmanship with technological innovation. The shipyard’s forward-thinking approach is evident in its commitment to sustainability, with a “Road to 2030” strategy that focuses on reducing emissions through green technologies and hybrid propulsion systems. By 2027, the shipyard plans to launch a superyacht powered by 80% green methanol, aligning with the EU’s Fit for 55 agenda. Sanlorenzo’s new SL86A and SP92 models not only offer unparalleled luxury but also underscore the shipyard’s mission to shape the future of eco-friendly yachting.

Every year, more skincare products emerge promising glowing, youthful skin. However, according to beauty expert Sara Millecam, Director of Education at Beautiful Brows and Lashes, one common skincare mistake can lead to painful side effects during your next eyebrow waxing or threading appointment. If you’re using certain active ingredients in the days leading up to your treatment, you might be setting yourself up for irritation, burns, or worse. When prepping for a waxing or threading session, it's natural to focus on achieving perfectly shaped brows. Yet, using potent skincare ingredients like retinol, AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids), or BHAs (beta hydroxy acids) just before your appointment can drastically increase your skin’s sensitivity, leading to unexpected—and painful—side effects. “These products are designed to exfoliate and accelerate skin cell turnover," Millecam explains. "While they can work wonders for your complexion, applying them too close to your eyebrow waxing or threading session can leave your skin vulnerable to redness, burns, or even peeling.” The Dangers of Active Ingredients Retinol, AHAs, and BHAs are beloved for their ability to fight acne, brighten skin, and reduce the signs of ageing. But their exfoliating properties also make the skin more prone to irritation. Active ingredients weaken the skin’s barrier and thin its outer layer, leaving it less protected against the physical irritation of waxing or threading. “When your skin is in a weakened state,” Millecam says, “it’s much more susceptible to damage. Using these ingredients before your appointment can lower your skin's tolerance to hair removal treatments, which would normally be fine, but now cause painful reactions.” Millecam shares a personal experience: “I once used retinol the night before a threading session, and my skin was burning afterward. Since then, I avoid using these products for at least 48 hours before any hair removal.” How to Properly Prep Your Skin To avoid this discomfort, Millecam recommends pausing the use of retinol, AHAs, and BHAs at least 48 hours before your appointment. But avoiding these ingredients is just the start. She also advises steering clear of exfoliating scrubs, chemical peels, and excessive sun exposure, all of which can increase your skin’s sensitivity. Instead, in the days leading up to your appointment, stick to gentle, hydrating products that help maintain your skin’s natural barrier. And as always, don't forget your sunscreen. “The goal is to keep your skin calm and intact before your treatment,” Millecam adds. Beauty Done Right: A Smooth, Safe Experience By taking these steps, you can ensure a smoother and more comfortable waxing or threading experience, without the risk of irritation or long-term damage. Millecam encourages women to consult their beauty professional if they’re unsure about their skincare routine before an appointment. “Plan ahead and be mindful of the products you’re using,” she advises. “The last thing you want is for a routine beauty appointment to turn into an uncomfortable experience.” For a beauty routine that complements rather than compromises your treatments, being informed about the interaction between skincare products and hair removal is key. With the right precautions, you can enjoy perfectly shaped brows—without any of the side effects. "Many women don’t realise that using active ingredients like retinol, AHAs, or BHAs before eyebrow waxing or threading can make their skin more sensitive, leading to irritation, burns, or peeling. These ingredients thin the skin and heighten its susceptibility to damage during hair removal. I always recommend pausing these products at least 48 hours before your appointment and sticking to a gentle skincare routine to ensure a smoother, irritation-free experience." By following these expert tips, you’ll be ready for your next eyebrow appointment, armed with the knowledge to protect your skin and enjoy flawless results. 4o

This name change signifies a pivotal moment in the brand's journey, acknowledging its significant growth and commitment to empowering women through bespoke tailoring. The new identity aims to encapsulate the brand's “phenomenal growth, dynamic evolution, and unwavering mission” to enhance women's sartorial confidence. With this rebranding, Knatchbull is set to enter a new chapter, elevating its position within the luxury tailoring landscape. Established in 2019, the brand initially operated under the name "The Deck," inspired by a deck of cards that represented its original four made-to-measure styles. As the brand evolved and expanded its offerings, the founders recognized that the name no longer aligned with its ambitions and achievements. Daisy Knatchbull is on a mission to change tailored clothes for women, and to offer successful, style-conscious women a compelling alternative to fast fashion. In just five years, Knatchbull has made a remarkable impact, dressing over 2,500 clients from around the world. The brand has successfully hosted trunk shows across the UK, Europe, and the US, while also broadening its bespoke services to include a bridal collection and ready-to-wear garments. Founder Daisy Knatchbull shared her enthusiasm for the new name, stating, “Knatchbull represents not only my personal legacy but also the legacy we are building together. Our goal is to create a world where women can experience the same sartorial power and confidence that tailoring has historically provided to men.” The launch of the inaugural ready-to-wear collection, already branded with the Knatchbull name, marks a seamless transition into this new era. Daisy emphasized that the rebranding is a tribute to the brand's heritage and a celebration of its journey thus far, while also representing a bold leap into the future.

Unrivalled Engineering and Performance At the heart of the Black Badge Ghost Series II is its powerful V12 engine, which delivers 29PS more power and 50NM more torque than the standard Ghost Series II. With the push of a button, the car's "Low" mode unlocks a suite of performance features, including a 50% increase in gearshift speed and a more voluble exhaust note, giving drivers a thrilling, yet refined, driving experience. To complement this increased power, Rolls-Royce engineers have made adjustments to the braking system, raising the bite point and reducing pedal travel. This precise engineering gives drivers greater confidence when pushing the car to its limits, ensuring that every journey is as thrilling as it is luxurious. A New Era of Luxury The Black Badge Ghost Series II exemplifies Rolls-Royce’s commitment to providing a bold and dynamic experience for its most daring clients. As with all Black Badge models, this car invites owners to commission bespoke designs that reflect their personal tastes, whether through custom colourways, intricate interior detailing, or bold exterior finishes.

Renowned American designer Tom Ford will be honoured with the Outstanding Achievement Award at The Fashion Awards 2024. Known for his game-changing contributions to fashion and his mastery of both business and design, Ford's career will be celebrated on 2 December at the iconic Royal Albert Hall in London. British Fashion Council CEO Caroline Rush, who is set to step down soon, expressed her admiration for Ford: "It’s a privilege to celebrate Tom’s remarkable influence on fashion, film, and culture. His vision has continuously pushed boundaries across multiple industries." Ford began his journey in 1990 at Gucci as the Chief Womenswear Designer, quickly rising to Creative Director by 1994. His leadership was key in revitalising the brand, and by 1999, he helped form the Gucci Group, now Kering, where he also took on creative roles at Yves Saint Laurent.

Beyond fashion, Ford is also an acclaimed filmmaker. His debut film, *A Single Man* (2009), earned him an Academy Award nomination, followed by the success of *Nocturnal Animals* (2016), which was awarded the Grand Jury Prize and secured multiple nominations across the BAFTAs and Golden Globes. Ford has also led the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) as its Chairman, where he made significant strides in diversifying the organisation, supporting pandemic relief efforts through the A Common Thread initiative, and enhancing the CFDA Scholarship Fund. "It’s a tremendous honour to be recognised by the British Fashion Council," Ford said, reflecting on the award. "London has been central to my career, and this recognition for my work in fashion, film, and culture means a great deal to me." The Outstanding Achievement Award celebrates individuals who have significantly shaped the global fashion industry through innovation and creativity. Past recipients include Giorgio Armani, Miuccia Prada, Ralph Lauren, and Karl Lagerfeld. This recognition comes as the British Fashion Council also announced the nominees for The Fashion Awards 2024, an event presented by Pandora that celebrates the intersection of fashion with culture and entertainment. Awards will be given in categories such as Designer of the Year, Model of the Year, and British Menswear and Womenswear Designers, with winners to be revealed at the ceremony.

60 Curzon, a landmark residential asset in the heart of Mayfair, has reached practical completion, marking a significant milestone for this historic address. This project represents a prestigious addition to London's real estate landscape, offering an exclusive glimpse into a unique luxury residence. For over 70 years, the site was home to the star-studded restaurant Mirabelle, frequented by the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio and Kylie Minogue, and awarded a Michelin star under the renowned Marco Pierre White. Originally designed by Thierry Despont, 60 Curzon is an eight-story property featuring 32 private residences inspired by Art Deco design. These residences include lateral apartments, pied-à-terres, a townhouse, and two extraordinary duplex penthouses with expansive private terraces offering panoramic views of the London skyline. The building’s Portland stone façade, expertly crafted by PLP Architecture, pays homage to the site’s Art Deco legacy, complete with grand balconies and a private courtyard garden designed by Gustafson Porter + Bowman. Residents of 60 Curzon will enjoy a range of exclusive services, including 24-hour concierge, security, and valet service. Private amenities include a spa with a swimming pool, gym, sauna, steam room, and private fitness and treatment rooms. The ground floor features additional amenities such as a Club Lounge/meeting room, an elegant reception/lobby, and temperature-controlled rooms for storing personal items like rare whiskies, fine wines, and cigars. The penthouses also come with additional private amenities, underscoring the exclusivity and luxury of these residences in one of London’s most desirable locations. In addition to two fully furnished apartments designed by Thierry Despont, work is underway on three new residences by acclaimed interior design studios, including Elicyon. These new homes are set to be revealed this autumn, elevating the luxury and sophistication of 60 Curzon’s interiors. Mirabelle Restaurant One of the most exciting aspects of this project is its connection to the building’s rich past as the former site of the renowned Mirabelle restaurant, once frequented by icons such as Orson Welles and Winston Churchill. Under Marco Pierre White's leadership, the restaurant earned a Michelin star in 2000. As part of 60 Curzon’s new life, a brand-new restaurant will be a central feature, offering dining rooms with private access for residents, bringing culinary excellence back to this famed address. Prices at 60 Curzon start at £3 million. https://www.60curzon.com/
