Step into the golden spirit of summer with Collection Été

Khaleej Times11-06-2025
Collection Été captures the golden warmth and vibrant tones of summer in the south of France, designed to be elegant yet inviting, easy to wear, and perfect for mix and match for any occasion.
Inspired by the key elements of the region such as the smooth pebbles, "Les Galets", the radiant sun rays, and the stunning shades of the Mediterranean, each piece embodies the essence of this beautiful landscape.
The elegant pebble designs reflect the natural coastline of the Mediterranean Sea, giving each piece an organic and soft feel. These designs echo the smooth, rounded shapes of the pebbles found along sun-drenched beaches, embodying the relaxed yet sophisticated vibe of the region. Les Galets, French for pebbles, take the center stage of this collection, extending this design to our merchandising, display, and of course, accessories that are carefully made with our custom-made galets fabric.
Minimal motifs of sunshine rays have been incorporated to symbolise the warm, golden light that bathes the South of France. These subtle yet striking designs add a touch of brightness and joy to each piece.
The palm tree shapes, and the interplay of light and shadow are key elements in this collection. They represent the iconic silhouettes of palms that line the picturesque promenades, bringing a sense of tropical elegance and a hint of adventure for those who love the allure of the Mediterranean.
To enhance these designs, we have included beautiful summer stones like turquoise and malachite. These vibrant stones add pops of color and a fresh, seasonal elegance that perfectly complements the golden hues of the collection.
We have focused on the rich glow of yellow gold to tie all these elements together, creating standout pieces that are both luxurious and playful.
We can't wait for you to discover the Collection Été, and hope it brings a little bit of the South of France into your life.

Where to get the best mocktails in Abu Dhabi

For cocktail lovers, Abu Dhabi's bar scene has options for days, but what about those of us who want all the flavour, hold the alcohol? Whether you're driving, detoxing, or just not into the booze scene, there's no reason your drink should feel 'basic'. Thankfully, more and more spots across the capital are taking their mocktails seriously; crisp, creative, and just as good as the real thing (if not better). From garden-inspired mixes to spice-laced refreshers, here's where to get the best Mocktails in Abu Dhabi when you want a proper drink minus the alcohol. La Petite Maison (LPM) This elegant French-Mediterranean spot at The Galleria ticks all the right boxes: refined interiors and water views from a dreamy terrace. But beyond the classics, LPM has quietly built one of the city's most impressive mocktail menus. It's 16 drinks deep, featuring everything from black lemonade to zero-proof espresso martinis. The Limonade Noire is a standout; rosemary-infused honey, verjuice, activated charcoal, and soda water. It's unexpected in the best way. On the lighter side, Pomme-Basilic mixes green apple cordial, fresh basil, and sparkling water. Location: La Petite Maison, The Galleria, Al Maryah Island, Abu Dhabi Times: Daily, 12pm to 1am, 12.30pm on weekends Contact: (02) 692 9600, @lpmabudhabi Oii Set within the dry but lively Al Qana precinct, Oii is a Mediterranean-inspired spot that puts just as much effort into its mocktails as it does its food. With a tagline like 'serving joy,' it makes sense that the drinks list leads with flavour. The mocktail menu is stacked with twelve originals, all equally photogenic and refreshing. Bird's Kiss is a grapefruit, elderflower, and butterfly pea tea blend. Skopelos Vibes channels island energy with passionfruit, pineapple, and ginger ale, while Porto goes peach and strawberry for something smooth and low-key. Location: Oii, Al Qana, Al Maqta' St, Rabdan, Abu Dhabi Times: Daily, 8am to 12am Contact: (02) 628 2983, @oiiabudhabi Mika Tucked into the waterfront at Yas Marina, Mika is a refined Mediterranean restaurant that brings subtle Middle Eastern influence into its kitchen and its drinks menu. With interiors that lean modern but relaxed and a stunning view, It's the kind of place that works just as well for a long lunch as it does for a laid-back dinner. Mocktails here anything but basic. Mika's 'art in a glass' philosophy means each non-alcoholic drink is carefully crafted from layered ingredients. Expect seasonal options, delicate garnishes, and flavour profiles that match the mood of the food. Location: Mika, Building 2A, Yas Marina, Abu Dhabi Times: Daily, 12pm to 12am Contact: (05) 6 433 1422, @ Dragon's Tooth Hidden beneath Rosewood Abu Dhabi, Dragon's Tooth is the sultry little speakeasy tucked behind Dai Pai Dong. Inspired by 1920s Shanghai jazz lounges, it's got low lighting, deep booths, and an Asian bar menu to match the mood. When it comes to their signature mocktails; The Passion Boba is the standout: oolong tea, passionfruit, lime, and a handful of chewy boba pearls. It's sweet, layered, and playful. There are more signature refreshers on the menu too, perfect for those skipping the spirits but not the fun. Location: Dragon's Tooth, Rosewood Abu Dhabi, The Galleria Al Maryah Island Times: Daily, 6pm to 1am (until 2am on Fridays and Saturdays) Contact: (02) 813 5588, @rosewoodabudhabi Isla Beach Bar Image: Rixos Marina Abu Dhabi website Sitting right on the sand with views out over the marina, Isla is one of the capital's most stunning beachside spots. It's got that laid-back-luxe energy, think sun-washed seating, mellow beats, and a menu that leans into Cuban. Great for a post-swim refresh or winding down with something cold in hand. The mocktail list is refreshing, with tropical flavours, citrusy mixers, and the kind of ice-cold energy you want when it's 40°C and rising. Ask the team for their seasonal picks or go classic with a Havana-inspired no-alcohol twist. Location: Isla Beach Bar, Rixos, Marina Mall Ring Road, Al Kasir, Abu Dhabi Times: Daily, 9am to 11pm Contact: (02) 498 0000, @rixosmarinaabudhabi Taparelle Tucked inside Manarat Al Saadiyat, Taparelle has quickly earned regular status for anyone in the know. It's got the kind of atmosphere that works for everything, date night, family lunch, or group catch-up. The vibe? Warm, lively, and full of woodfired pizza scent drifting through the open-air terrace. The drinks menu is solid across the board, mocktails included. The standout is the Aubin, passionfruit, whipped top, a hit of lime, smooth, fresh, and just a little bit extra. There's a small but confident list worth sipping your way through.

How Chanel's ‘Pirate' Became The A-List's Cult Shade Of Red Lipstick

This is the lipstick beauty editors keep stashed in their handbags, the one make-up artists pull out backstage as a two-second failsafe and the one your effortlessly chic friend swears by… In the endless sea of red lipsticks, the fiery oranges, cherry reds, the 'almost but not quite right' shades, there's one that sets itself apart. Chanel's Rouge Allure 'Pirate' isn't just another red in a line-up, it's the red. The one that gets borrowed and never returned. The one you put on before a night out and instantly feel like the most confident version of yourself. While Pirate was launched as part of Chanel's Rogue Allure line in the early 2000s, its heritage runs much deeper – back to Coco Chanel's own love affair with red lipstick. For Coco Chanel, red lipstick was never just a simple pick-me-up, it was a symbol of power, passion, and polish, all in one swipe. She was famously quoted, 'If you're sad, add more lipstick and attack.' Over the years, this particularly bold shade of red found its way into the make-up bags of style icons like Keira Knightley, Marion Cotillard, Penelope Cruz and Lupita Nyong'o, who have deftly proved that it can suit any skin tone. If they weren't proof enough, Pirate is also one of Taylor Swift's most trusted on-tour companions, which she tag teams with MAC's equally iconic shade, Ruby Woo. The secret to its success? Too often, red picks sides – either too warm and tomato-y, or too cool and fuchsia leaning. Pirate sits perfectly in the middle, a rich classic crimson with just enough of a blue undertone to enhance your complexion and make your smile look brighter. It doesn't overpower your face, it complements it. Its following is the kind that major maisons dream of – unwavering and completely unshaken by passing trends. This is the lipstick beauty editors keep stashed in their handbags, the one make-up artists pull out backstage as a two-second failsafe, and the one your effortlessly chic friend swears by. Even better, there is a nail polish to match. View this post on Instagram A post shared by CHANEL BEAUTY (@ Part of its magic is the formula. Rouge Allure has this satin finish that strikes the perfect balance – not the kind of matte that leaves your lips parched, not slippery gloss. It's comfortable, lightweight, and wears down to a flattering stain rather than an awkward ring around your lips. You forget you're even wearing it until someone stops you to ask, 'Which red is that?' You don't need a drawer full of reds. You just need this one.
