A new exhibition at La Galerie Dior
At La Galerie Dior, a new retrospective awaits. Spread across 13 themed rooms, it traces nearly 80 years of the House’s history, from Christian Dior‘s foundation vision to Jonathan Anderson’s contemporary perspective. See nearly 150 creations alongside original sketches, archival documents and photographs, and get acquainted with all the artisans who bring Dior’s creations to life.
Chanel acquires Charvet
French heritage shirtmaker Charvet, which has crafted many an outfit for a who’s who of historical heavyweights—Marcel Proust, John F. Kennedy, Winston Churchill, and even Coco Chanel—has been acquired by Chanel for an undisclosed sum. The news follows a recent collaboration between the two heritage Maisons. Chanel creative director Matthieu Blazy teamed up with Charvet to create a series of crisp long-sleeve shirts, complete with a pearl button and the house’s signature chain, for women as part of his first spring 2026 collection.
Chaumet reopens its Ion Orchard boutique
A beautiful tribute to Chaumet’s heritage and signature codes appears in the form of a newly redesigned flagship boutique at Ion Orchard. As one of two locations on the island, the store boasts a fully-windowed and softly curved façade in Chaumet blue, inviting visitors into a world of French savoir-faire and contemporary inspirations. The setting, filled with models of nickel silver tiaras and a majestic mural in a dégradé of white and gold, highlights the Maison’s three emblematic collections—Joséphine, Bee de Chaumet and Liens—and an exclusive selection of High Jewellery creations.
A Mediterranean summer awaits
If you haven’t planned for a summer getaway, consider the Royal Mansour Tamuda Bay, a dreamy coastal retreat where Morocco meets the Mediterranean Sea. Nestled between Tetouan and Tangier, this is your gateway to a slower pace of life, with the intoxicating sea air and calming sound of lapping waves at your doorstep. Book direct to enjoy private transfers and fast track lines at the airport, stay in one of its 55 villas and suites, and don’t forget to book a private cruise aboard one of its iconic Riva yachts. Guests can also try their hand at wakeboarding, wakesurfing or foiling.
Amankora’s Paro and Punakha Lodges are making a return
After a period of refurbishment, Amankora’s Paro and Punakha lodges will welcome guests again starting this 15 September 2026. Hidden within blue pine forests in Bhutan’s serene Paro Valley, Amankora Paro will offer a gateway to the kingdom’s monasteries, hiking trails and cultural landmarks, alongside upgraded interiors, a new signature wellness experience and banya sauna. Venture further north to Amankora Punakha, where a meticulously restored 300-year-old farmhouse will serve as a base for white-water rafting, rice field walks, temple visits and intimate Bhutanese dining experiences.
Clé de Peau Beauté’s anti-ageing body treatment
You can always count on Clé de Peau Beauté for better skin. The latest on their shelves—Synactif Body Cream—is an everyday lymphatic-inspired detox, designed to leave your skin richly moisturised, radiant and firm from head to toe. Powered by the brand’s proprietary skin-conditioning complex and delicately scented with a rare Rose Synactif, the cream addresses overall dullness and sagging while elevating your daily skincare ritual at the same time.
