Vacheron Constantin celebrates 270 years of excellence
In celebration of this milestone, Vacheron Constantin is presenting The Quest: 270 Years of Seeking Excellence, a public exhibition retracing the brand’s perpetual quest for watchmaking excellence. Before making its world tour, it is currently making its debut at Al Qana, a beautiful waterfront destination in the heart of Abu Dhabi. Happening until 15 April 2025, guests can look forward to workshops, panel discussions and even the unveiling of a unique timepiece featuring the Abu Dhabi celestial sky chart, and the first-ever Vacheron Constantin Majlis.
Michael Rider’s Celine runway debut
All eyes are currently on the artistic director’s Celine debut, soon to happen this 6 July 2025 in Paris. Rider, who replaced star designer Hedi Slimane last October, will be returning to the catwalk format, something that the LVMH-owned brand avoided during the last years of the Slimane era.
Chopard’s legacy of joy
Established by the United Nations in 2012, the International Day of Happiness (3 March) is an annual reminder that echoes Chopard’s deep conviction—that no gesture is too small to send ripples of positivity. In honour of this day, Chopard is continuing the Happy Diamonds story with new square Happy Diamonds pendants, crafted with its iconic “dancing” diamonds and 18-carat rose gold; and the Happy Sport 36mm Joaillerie timepiece that sparks joy with ethical rose gold, a diamond-paved bezel and mother-of-pearl dial.
Jumeirah’s spring awakening
Get ready for the seasonal reopening of Jumeirah Mallorca and Jumeirah Capri Palace, two Mediterranean hotels set to open this 15 March and 17 April 2025 respectively. Look forward to new collaborations and experiences, such as Jumeirah Mallorca’s exclusive olfactory workshop with Viti Vinci and an unforgettable journey through the Tramuntana Mountains; and Jumeirah Capri Palace’s series of four-hands dinners, which will bring a roster of Michelin-starred chefs to the island for hte first time.
Brunello Cucinelli follows instinct, within reason
Through timeless aesthetic codes and tailoring traditions, Brunello Cucinelli’s women’s autumn/winter 2025 collection tells the story of a natural and inner world, exploring tension and harmony between instinct and reason. Expect the unexpected everyday enriched by creative impulse, from horse blazers and waterproof capes to matching sets that don’t follow the usual rules.
Moschino’s tribute to Italian artistry
As an ode to individuality and theatrical flair, Moschino’s spring/summer 2025 campaign is one that takes inspiration from the bold narratives of Italian cinema, featuring models as protagonists in a surreal drama. Through this cinematic lens, the campaign celebrates Moschino’s heritage of wit and irreverence with playful prints and bold slogans that layer nostalgia with modernity. Spot nautical touches, pearl accessories and exaggerated textures that evoke a timeless allure and self-expression.
