An evening of glamour sets the stage for a new era in lifestyle-led real estate on Al Marjan Island In a glittering evening curated with precision and flair, FashionTV Acacia by BNW Developments has made its official debut before an elite audience of investors, global partners, dignitaries, and industry decision-makers. Hosted by the iconic Ania J, globally known as the "Voice of FashionTV," the evening was a celebration of vision, innovation, and the evolution of branded real estate. A culmination of BNW's design-first ethos and FashionTV's global lifestyle influence, FashionTV Acacia is a high-concept residential project rising on the shores of Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah, a destination fast emerging as the UAE's most promising frontier for tourism, foreign investment, and luxury development. With its striking architecture, panoramic sea views, and immersive design language, the project embodies a bold rethinking urban living where fashion, functionality, and future-readiness converge. Designed with meticulous detail, FashionTV Acacia by BNW Developments offers a mix of one to four-bedroom residences and penthouses, blending structured elegance with immersive amenities like private lounges, wellness sanctuaries, landscaped social pods, and sea-facing infinity decks. The interiors and communal spaces echo the polished energy of FashionTV, where every material, palette, and proportion reflect a life lived in high style. Ankur Aggarwal, chairman and founder of BNW Developments, shared his perspective on the collaboration: "In an age where consumers are no longer just investing in space but in identity and experiential value, FashionTV Acacia presents a distinctive proposition. This is a carefully designed confluence of global culture, regional ambition, and the language of lifestyle. At BNW, we have always believed in creating meaningful intersections between established industries and transformational real estate. Following our successful foray into heritage-led luxury through our collaboration with IHCL for Taj Wellington Mews, it was essential to explore a completely different dimension this time, one rooted in contemporary culture and aspirational living. FashionTV, with its unparalleled global resonance, offered just that." He further emphasised the relevance of Ras Al Khaimah in this vision: "Al Marjan Island, and Ras Al Khaimah as a whole, are no longer peripheral players. With strategic infrastructure investments, global hospitality interest, and visionary governance, this region is fast becoming a nucleus for new-world urbanism. FashionTV Acacia is designed to match this energy, a future-forward offering built within a destination that itself represents the future." Vivek Anand Oberoi, managing director and co-founder of BNW Developments, added a thoughtful layer to the partnership: "FashionTV Acacia was never about aesthetic indulgence alone. It's about capturing a cultural pulse, the global shift toward curated spaces that reflect individual identity. We see the home as an extension of expression. With this collaboration, we have translated the ethos of FashionTV… its editorial sharpness, its contemporary rhythm into an architectural experience. It's not a project we launched, but a philosophy we built." "There's also something incredibly compelling about Ras Al Khaimah right now. It offers the openness of vision that cities often lose with time. By anchoring this project on Al Marjan Island, we're positioning it at the nexus of nature, policy, and international attention. This is where the next chapter of UAE's development narrative is being written, and we're proud to contribute to that growth story," he added. Maximilian Dennis Edelweiss, representative of FashionTV and CEO of IP-Nation said: "To collaborate with BNW was to find a partner who understood that real estate today is about crafting meaningful experiences. Together, through FashionTV Acacia, we've imagined a space that blurs the line between fashion and function, turning lifestyle into a livable legacy." BNW Developments has emerged as a powerful force in redefining the real estate paradigm in the UAE. From heritage-rooted collaborations like Taj Wellington Mews, to the bold modernity of FashionTV Acacia, the brand continues to introduce disruptive, brand-led living experiences to the region, each one more defining than the last. And this is only the beginning. Several new collaborations are already underway, each aimed at further enriching the landscape of global residential living through the lens of storytelling, substance, and strategic thinking.

Jean-Claude Van Damme accused of sex with trafficked women in Cannes
Jean-Claude Van Damme allegedly had sex with five women trafficked from Romania at a television series launch party in Cannes, according to legal documents obtained by The Telegraph. The Belgian martial artist and Hollywood actor is facing a potential criminal investigation from Romanian authorities after a complaint was filed to police on April 2. Excerpts of a deposition contained in the complaint claim the women were 'given' to Van Damme, 64, at the event in south-east France in 2015. The trafficking of the girls is said to have been organised by Morel Bolea, a Romanian suspected sex trafficker and former head of a modelling agency. One woman who attended the event said in a written testimony: 'When we got there, we realised we weren't participating in a film festival event, but rather at the launch of a TV series starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, which was held in a hotel event room.' She said one of the event's organisers 'took five of his girls from the Fashion TV team and sent them to Van Damme'. Van Damme's representatives have been contacted for comment. It is not known if he knew the girls had been trafficked. Women's whereabouts unknown The criminal complaint was submitted to the Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism (DIICOT) in Bucharest, the same organisation prosecuting the misogynist and alleged rapist Andrew Tate. The current whereabouts of the women and their identities are not known. Adrian Cuculis, the lawyer who filed the complaint, represents a separate woman allegedly groomed and trafficked by Mr Bolea when she was 15 years old. Mr Cuculis told The Telegraph: 'They were basically offered to Van Damme … this is the allegation that Jean-Claude Van Damme used the services of one or more exploited girls. He added: 'They were there for [sic] making sexual intercourse with this guy … if Jean-Claude Van Damme hooked up with them in the club and they went and engaged in six-person intercourse, it's perfectly fine. 'But if somebody comes to you keeping her hand in his hand and says 'OK off you go with him into the room' this means something else. 'It's a deposition stating out very clearly what happened there, and who offered the girls and what are the terms of them, the conditions.' 'Police investigation launched' Mr Cuculis said police had already begun investigating Van-Damme as part of a wider inquiry into Mr Bolea's trafficking network. He said: 'The [police] investigation has already been launched since Friday. 'I received a note from the prosecutor's office saying that they merged this file into the file that was opened in Morel Bolea's case and they are conducting an investigation regarding our accusations.' A spokesman for DIICOT confirmed it had received the complaint on April 2 but made no further comment. The complaint alleges that Mr Van Damme made 'use of services of an exploited person, an offence stipulated and punishable under Art. 216 of the criminal code, in conjunction with Art. 182 letters a), b), c) of the criminal code.' Mr Bolea was arrested in 2022 as the main suspect in a case surrounding the exploitation of minors, Romanian news media reported. He has not commented on the allegations. According to the Romanian prosecutor's office, from 2000 to 2016, he involved girls, including minors, in 'sexual exploitation through psychological pressure' through his organisation.
