THE FASHION DROP
Ilái Sarai Wadi 00 / Quest
Ilái Sarai, the Persian-inspired luxury house founded by Saina Babaee, has released its new collection Wadi 00 / Quest. Designed in collaboration with the Vaqar sisters, the drop draws on Kurdish tribal dress, Sufi poet Farid ud-Din Attar’s Conference of the Birds and the journey from darkness into light. The pieces balance sculptural lines with soft, fluid silhouettes, using monochrome palettes and wing-like forms to echo themes of heritage and liberation. The collection is now available online, with Dubai trunk shows scheduled for December.

THE FRAGRANCE ICON
Guerlain Shalimar L’Essence
Guerlain celebrates 100 years of Shalimar with L’Essence, a modern, intensified expression of its amber scent. Created by perfumer Delphine Jelk, the new eau de parfum highlights Shalimar’s signature vanilla with an enriched blend of Madagascan vanilla tincture, soft bergamot and a deeper amber accord. The bottle has also been reimagined with a bold Art Deco-inspired gold logo, nodding to the original 1925 design.
