Mira partners with Italian luxury major Trussardi for Dubai project
UAE-based Mira Developments has joined hands with Italian luxury majors Trussardi and Luxury Living Group for the launch of the Phase II of its prime development Trussardi Residences in Dubai.
Twice the size but infused with the same Milanese spirit, this phase brings two stunning towers and an expanded two-floor podium to the vibrant Al Furjan district, just a short stroll from the Discovery Gardens metro station, said a statement from Mira Developments.
Exclusively adorned with the finest creations from the Trussardi Casa collection, Trussardi Residences Phase II introduces one- and two-bedroom apartments along with studios – a first for the development.
Designed as turn-key properties, every residence is fully furnished, equipped with all household appliances and ready to welcome you.
Following the overwhelming demand for Phase I, which set the new standard for luxury living in Al Furjan, Phase II arrives as an even more refined and upgraded offering.
For fitness enthusiasts, the expanded podium features a 350-m jogging track, a serene yoga zone, and sports courts, including paddle tennis, ensuring wellness is seamlessly integrated into daily life, said a statement from Mira Developments.
For those seeking family-friendly spaces, the podium also offers dedicated children's areas, including trampolines, a playground, and an outdoor cinema, making it the perfect haven for every member of the family.
Additionally, residents can enjoy the convenience of a premium food lounge offering multiple cuisines, delivering gourmet experiences just steps from home, it added.
Residents can maintain an active lifestyle and rejuvenate in two bespoke gymnasiums, meticulously designed by TechnoGym.
Spanning a combined 800 sqm, these key facilities offer separate spaces for ladies and gentlemen, catering to diverse fitness needs. Completing the offering is a wellness center, a serene space dedicated to relaxation and well-being.
"Trussardi Residences Phase II combines functionality with flair. Host meetings or enjoy a moment of indulgence at the premium lounge and a dedicated Aiwa coffee shop. Meanwhile, children will delight in thoughtfully designed spaces that encourage endless fun, from trampolines to a vibrant outdoor cinema," said a spokesman for Mira.
"Trussardi Residences Phase II is not just a residential marvel; it also offers four floors of Class-A office spaces crafted with the same sophistication and elegance that define the development," he added.

From a soldier to star chef, straddling continents and cuisines
When chef Thanos Feskos touched down in Dubai for the first time last month, it wasn't for leisure. 'Just work,' he says with a shrug, reflecting on the whirlwind five-day trip that left little time for sightseeing. But what he lacked in tourism, he made up for in unforgettable culinary impact. 'It was super nice, super enjoyable,' he recalls, eyes bright. 'And the people I met—amazing. So accepting. So warm.' That, he says, is why he's already planning a return. With a spectacular 4 Hands Menu experience that saw two culinary worlds collide on a single plate Feskos charmed the audience with his food and joie de vivre. Hosted at a Shimmers restaurant, the evening paired Feskos with resident chef Emmanuel in a soulful symphony of dishes built around sharing, storytelling, and pure emotion. 'We did it together,' Feskos explains. 'One amuse bouche, one starter, one main, and one dessert each. It was about balance. About friendship on a plate.' Culinary serendipity Born and raised in Porto Rafti, Greece, Feskos didn't grow up in a kitchen dynasty. 'My story doesn't begin with my mother or grandmother teaching me to cook,' he says with a smile. 'I was studying financial accounting, but the kitchen called me during my military service.' Assigned to cook for his unit, he was a complete novice. But the soldiers loved his hearty, home-style meals. 'So I started calling my grandmother for recipes. Bean soup. Spinach pie. Roasted chicken with potatoes—comfort food. I cooked how she cooked for me.' He was soon assigned to be the Sergeant's personal chef. It was the beginning of an obsession. He enrolled in Greece's Le Monde Culinary Institute, followed by two master's degrees from the Culinary Institute of Switzerland—one in molecular gastronomy and another in European gourmet cuisine and chocolate artistry. 'Yes, I'm a pastry chef too,' he laughs. 'I even placed third worldwide in chocolate architecture.' The rise at Geranium Feskos' journey eventually took him to Copenhagen, where he joined Geranium, the legendary restaurant co-owned by Rasmus Kofoed. Starting at the very bottom, he worked tirelessly—'like two and a half people,' he jokes. But talent and persistence propelled him forward, and in 2011, he became Head Chef. Under his leadership, Geranium achieved what few ever will: three Michelin stars and the number one spot on the World's 50 Best Restaurants list. 'Earning those stars... it's a dream,' Feskos reflects. 'But there's no secret sauce. No magic. Just full focus. Full sacrifice. Full hospitality.' In 2020, Feskos returned to Greece to lead the kitchen at Delta, a restaurant redefining sustainability in haute cuisine. 'We had a farm. We composted everything. We thought about people, not just produce. Human sustainability matters, too.' Under his guidance, Delta earned two Michelin stars and a coveted Green Michelin Star—a testament to both taste and ethics. Despite the accolades, Feskos has shifted his gaze. 'I'm tired of the fine dining grind,' he confesses. 'Now, I just want to cook food that makes people smile.' This mission powers his new ventures: 3 Stripes, a street food project in Athens and Antiparos, and 4 Hands Athens, a collaborative culinary concept that brings chefs together, not just dishes. Bitter bread and sweet memories But every great chef has their kitchen scars. 'The worst moment?' he recalls. 'A mistake with the bread service. The head chef threw 250 mini loaves at me—one by one. I took the blame for a friend.' Yet the best moment outshone it all: 'I cooked for my parents' 50th wedding anniversary. They cried at the table. That was it. That was everything.' When asked about his favorite dish, Feskos shrugs off foie gras or rare truffles. 'Something made with love,' he says. 'That's it. It could be beans, bread, anything. If it's made with care, it's the best thing I've ever tasted.' He's particularly fond of Indian food, recalling meals cooked by a friend's mom in Mumbai. 'Spicy, yes. I was sweating buckets,' he laughs. 'But it was so delicious—like a mother's love on a plate.' Dubai's Four-Hands magic At the Dubai event, diners were treated to a journey—not just across borders, but across memories. 'It wasn't about fancy presentation,' Feskos explains. 'It was about sharing. Family-style dishes that made people connect.' The feedback? 'Overwhelming. People came up to us after saying it felt like home, even though the flavors were new. That's what food should do.' Even with the Dubai menu leaning toward simplicity—dictated by the restaurant's concept—Feskos's fine-dining finesse shone through in flavor, warmth, and attention to detail. With new projects simmering in Greece and Asia—and another Dubai visit hinted at for late 2025—Feskos shows no signs of slowing down. 'It's not about the 'wow' anymore. It's about warmth.' Whether it's a rustic bean soup or a refined amuse bouche Thanos cooks with the same goal: to make you feel something. And judging by the empty plates and full hearts at his 4 Hands dinner in Dubai, he's doing just that.
