For our cover, we are proud to have partnered with Louis Vuitton to share its SS25 collection and Dima Sheikhly who is living life on her own terms, in Designing Your Life. We were granted special access to shoot the cover in the newly completed, The Opus Penthouse by OMNIYAT, a one-of-one creation within a one-of-one masterpiece. Designed and delivered by OMNIYAT Atelier, the four-bedroom penthouse occupies 12,788 of elite living space and unites the world's finest artists, artisans and luxury brands. Its distinctive floor plan integrates seamlessly with Zaha Hadid's original creation, while the original trusses and beams have been preserved and exposed, adding a striking feature that pays homage to the building's structural ingenuity. Truly a singular masterpiece in the sky, at the epi-centre of Dubai. This month takes a deep dive into all things design and aesthetics based, where we focus on refinement and depth, not simply surface-level detail. We were honoured to be invited last month to join Hermès, who hosted a private, bespoke riding adventure across the desertscape at Our Habitas Ras Abrouq, Qatar showcasing the craftsmanship and detail of Hermès' equestrian heritage and which you too can experience in The Art of the Exceptional. We also attended Paris Fashion Week, and a private dinner with Christopher Esber hosted by Mytheresa at the iconic Loulou to celebrate a collaborative capsule collection in Fashionable Fete. Beauty industry wise, we take a look at JUANA's bold new era with Co-Founders Yann Moujawaz and Juana Martini in Designing Empowerment, while BORK brings design innovation and a cool aesthetic edge to luxury home accessories in The Design Pioneer. Expand your horizons. As Art Dubai approaches, Benedetta Ghione, Executive Director at Art Dubai discusses transforming the region's art scene in High-Impact Art, Malak Abu Qaoud, Director of ICD Brookfield Place Arts Programme, expands on the lifestyle property's pathway to decentralising spaces, her passion for the arts, and fostering education with culture and community at its heart in Passion Project while Ambika Hinduja Macker speaks on curating 'The Sublime Nature of Being', a multi-sensory odyssey in Dubai in Art Beyond Senses. I have personally never felt more fortunate to live in a city that fosters such a support for the arts, design and commerce alike and where newness and innovation are welcomed with open arms. Dubai – you are truly inspiring, thank you for expanding all our horizons.
