Azza Fahmy Brings Jewellery & Craft to Egypt's North Coast This Summer
This summer, Azza Fahmy returns to Egypt's North Coast with seasonal spaces in Marassi, Almaza, and Diplo, each built around jewellery, design, and a newly introduced café concept. Jul 24, 2025 Azza Fahmy is back on Egypt's North Coast this summer with three distinct spaces in Marassi Marina, Almaza Bay, and Diplo — each shaped around a different experience. From private jewellery viewings to hands-on workshops and a new food concept, the brand's summer program draws from the legacy of design that has defined it for decades. In Marassi, the focus is on High Jewellery. Appointments can be scheduled for private viewings of the house's most intricate pieces, which include handpicked stones and finely worked details that reflect the craftsmanship Azza Fahmy is known for. Diplo reopens with a redesigned boutique and something unexpected: Craft by Cult, a café concept developed by the brand. The space serves a short, design-conscious food and drink menu — including an iced sugarcane matcha that's already become a signature — within an interior shaped by the house's visual language. Creative sessions are also running in Diplo and Almaza through the DSAF (Design Studio by Azza Fahmy) Sahel Edition. This season's focus is on making beaded sunglass chains — a casual, hands-on introduction to jewellery techniques that puts design directly in the hands of guests. The summer coincides with the release of Wonders of Nature, a new collection by Amina Ghali inspired by travels across Southeast Asia. Floral motifs — including lotus, jasmine, and daisy — appear alongside Arabic calligraphy, all cast in 18k gold and sterling silver. The pieces reflect the kind of detailed storytelling that has long shaped the brand's aesthetic. To mark International Friendship Day on July 30th, the house is celebrating the Never Apart bracelet, a piece that speaks to enduring relationships and lasting connection, no matter the distance.

Where to get your fix of culture in Darwin, Australia, with its murals and indigenous art
Exploring murals in the Australian city of Darwin is an enlightening experience, especially when you have artist David Collins as a guide. Advertisement Collins is director of the Darwin Street Art Festival (DSAF), an annual event whose legacy can be seen in 130 large-scale works dotted around the capital of Australia's Northern Territory. Just do not ask him to pick a favourite. 'That is difficult,' Collins says. 'It's like asking a parent to choose their favourite child.' Since its inception in 2017, DSAF has turned dirty and dull surfaces around Darwin into magnificent works of art. David Collins, artist and director of the Darwin Street Art Festival.

'It was a nothing lane that was used as a loading zone.'
