THE BOUTIQUE OPENING

Alaïa, The Avenues, Kuwait

Alaïa has opened its doors at The Avenues in Kuwait, marking a new chapter in the Maison’s regional expansion. Designed by Halleroed, the space balances sharp architectural lines with sensual minimalism – from black Marquinia marble to Carrara shelving and bespoke Philippe Malouin sofas. Split into accessory and ready-to-wear zones, the boutique channels the intimacy and ease of a couture salon, all while staying true to Alaïa’s signature refinement.

THE DESTINATION

RH Paris

Located on the Champs Élysées in a landmark seven-storey building, RH Paris is more than a gallery. It combines design, dining and hospitality in a single immersive destination. RH Paris represents a new reason for tourists to add Paris to their itinerary, and for repeat travellers to experience the city in an entirely new way. The gallery is the brand’s first European outpost with a fully integrated hospitality concept, featuring not just showrooms but three standout dining venues. Le Petit RH has panoramic views of the Eiffel Tower and Grand Palais with its rooftop dining; Le Jardin RH serves American and Mediterranean classics under a glass and steel structure; while The World of RH Bar is the place for a cocktail by legendary bartender Colin Field.

THE HOMEWARE

JW Anderson

JW Anderson has launched homeware via a collection that brings together Irish earthenware pottery, Irish linen and handblown Murano glass. Expertly handcrafted by Wedgwood artisans, the hero piece is a limited-edition coffee cup and saucer. Coloured in Jasper blue with white inlays, each cup and saucer are formed by hand then high-fired to create a matte, tactile finish. Then there’s the showstopping ceramic striped mug, which is made for everyday use. The striped design is hand-painted on for a unique finish on each, designed by Nicholas Mosse, who is known for producing handmade, functional pottery in the style of Irish Spongewares.

THE CAMPAIGN

Lady Dior Through Jonathan Anderson’s Lens

Photographed by David Sims at the Pavillon de Musique de la Comtesse du Barry, Dior’s latest campaign captures Mia Goth, Greta Lee and Mikey Madison in an instinctive, spontaneous light. Set against a backdrop rich in 18th-century French references, it reflects the elegance of Jonathan Anderson’s first designs for the House – and brings a renewed sense of modernity to the iconic Lady Dior.
