AUTUMN/WINTER 2012 ‘Flat styles such as ballet pumps or flip-flops offer the foot no support or cushioning, and are known to cause issues such as overpronation (rolling in of the ankle) and collapsed arches,’ says Dubai-based podiatrist Michelle Champlin. ‘When buying shoes, remember to look for three key areas: a good “heel counter” or a stiff heel back that holds your heel in the shoe; a “retaining medium”, which is a lace-up or Velcro strap that holds your foot into the shoe, such as on Mary-Jane styles; and finally, a roomy “toe box” which doesn’t squash your toes or taper in too severely. Every person’s feet are different – shop around for a comfortable style and try to get the most comfortable, healthy shoe within your budget. A reasonably priced sports shoe is better for your feet than an expensive designer stiletto.’ is divided into UVA and UVB – the former causes tanning and wrinkles, while the latter causes burning. Sun damage can be divided into two categories: acute and chronic. ACUTE Sunburn is an acute form of damage, and is an inflammatory reaction of the skin to UVB rays. It’s generally seen on lighter skins and is often a result of midday sun exposure. Symptoms include redness, rash and a burning or itching sensation that is sometimes accompanied by fever and headache. CHRONIC Repeated sun damage over many years causes changes in all layers of the skin, including blood vessels, collagen and elastin. Damage occurs due to UVA rays, and changes to the skin can include darkening, pigmented patches, a leathery appearance, lines, wrinkles, dilated blood vessels, age spots and skin cancers. The best prevention for both acute and chronic sun damage is to avoid sun exposure between 11am and 4pm. Always use sunscreen and reapply in the case of prolonged exposure. Also, use moisturiser to prevent a loss of moisture in the skin. every part of the body: the heart, liver, central nervous system – and the skin. Redness and flushing is commonly seen after intake, while some changes in the skin happen due to liver damage Time Out Style AUTUMN/WINTER 2012 following prolonged abuse. These are called spider angiomas: small vessels that radiate out from a central blood vessel. They are commonly seen on the face, neck, chest and abdomen. Limiting your drinking or avoiding it altogether is the best prevention, as is eating a well-balanced diet, consuming lots of water and taking regular exercise. EATING JUNK FOOD Sugary foods, sweet drinks and refined flour increase the blood sugar level, which in turn increases the insulin level, which causes a thickening of the skin and blockage of pores. It also increases androgens (male hormones) in the body, resulting in an increase in oil production – and hey presto! Acne. Fried snacks contain unhealthy fats, which release toxins in the body and result in premature ageing of the body and skin – too much meat and dairy can have a similar effect. Eat more whole grains, fruits instead of juice, brown bread instead of white, and cut down on sweets and oily foods. resulting dryness and dehydration of the skin is extremely common. Dehydrated skin looks parched and wrinkled, often accompanied by chapping of the lips and fissures in the soles of the feet. All of this can be prevented by drinking lots of water and using moisturisers according to skin type, as well as lip balms and thick moisturisers for the feet. resurface and smooth the skin, this targets blemishes, uneven skin tone and fine lines.

The Qatari khandura has collars and cuffs, while the Omani khandura, also called the ‘Arabi khandura’, doesn’t have either, but can be identified by the small tassel falling from the neck and the embroidery on the sleeves and neck.

I wanted to do something different.’ Yet he’s quick to stress this is no ‘trailer queen’ – he takes The Red Baron out nearly every day, and has clocked up more than 16,000km since shipping the vintage vehicle from the US two years ago. ‘This is the most driven hot rod in the world,’ he adds with a grin, ‘and she’s tuned to perfection.’ 60 Style.

MEN DANIEL CRAIGThe TIME OUT STYLE BOND IS BACK. So what can the English actor tell us about it? Style speaks to the man who rebooted a British acting – and fashion – institution D aniel Craig has come a long way since playing an executed Jesuit priest in 1998 costume drama Elizabeth. Even further from a bit part in UK TV series Zorro. And he probably wouldn’t want us to mention his days in Yorkshire-set police drama Heartbeat… So instead we’ll skip to 2006, the year the Chester-born, London-educated, then-38- year-old actor permanently imprinted himself on everyone’s consciousness as James Bond in the 21st of the series, Casino Royale. Traditionalists weren’t immediately sold on his ripped and recharged portrayal. He was the first blond 007. He was more violent than previous Bonds, playing a grittier, more well-built, version. Yet the industry backed him, with four previous Bond actors speaking out to support the casting. Roger Moore even recently went as far as to cry that Craig is the ‘best Bond ever.’ But Craig is more than the torch-carrier of an English acting tradition (or even a chauffeur for Queen Elizabeth II, as we 42 Time Out Style AUTUMN/WINTER 2012 Interview Alexi Duggins.

He’s a style icon in his own right, his rugged, smartcasual look analysed – and imitated – in every respectable men’s magazine. Last year he took on what could become another multi-movie role, bringing wily journalist Mikael Blomkvist to life in David Fincher’s adaptation of Stieg Larsson’s literary smash, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. ‘I’M IN EVERY SCENE, SO IT’S HARD TO TAKE A BACK SEAT’ Yet after committing to playing Bond in at least two more films, and with his third Bond title set to be released in the UAE first, on October 25, all we want to talk to him about is Skyfall. And we don’t think he minds at all. Style. UPFRONT interview What sort of place is Bond at psychologically in Skyfall? He’s in a good place at the start, but he ends up getting into hot water. I have MEN to be a bit tightlipped, I’m afraid. But we’ve tried to make the story as rich as possible, so he’s in a number of states, some happy, some sad. It comes down to his interactions with characters. So where Javier [Bardem], the bad guy, takes us at certain points, it’s his movie. He’s driving it, and it’s about how Bond deals with that. Does Bond take a back seat? No! I knew I’d have to take that back. I’m in every scene so it’s hard for me to take a back seat. What I meant is that having actors as good as we have in the film, inevitably they’re going to be kind of a huge part of the movie. For me that’s a great relief. The Bond franchise has been going for decades: to keep it interesting you have to keep reinvigorating the story. What’s the approach this time? To do the best we could. I know that sounds like a glib way of putting it, but it’s the truth.

INTERIORS Anatomy of a workspace An inside look at the desks, studios, offices and minds of three of the city’s most prominent creatives Ramin Salsali Age: 48 Nationality: Iranian-German Job: Founder of the Salsali Private Museum and the Patron for the Arts How important is the layout of your workspace? Very important! Wellbeing during working hours is essential for productivity. The starting point is to design the office functionally, yet personally. My advice is to never follow the standard layout. It must be as individual as possible. What must-have components feature in your workspace? For me, the element of design is the key reason why I choose a product. Maybe it’s because of my background, because I study industrial design. A product must combine the function and design – then it is a piece of art. Like the pencils of Faber-Castel or Mojo of Japan. Aside from equipment, what other items do you need to help you maintain productivity and creativity? I like artwork and designed objects, such as vintage furniture. I don’t like flowers or plants as permanent objects in my workspace. Does your professional personality differ from your social personality? No. But I know people who [like to] have this division, and they surprise me when I visit their homes, which are completely different in concept to their workspace. Compiled by Oliver Robinson.

UPFRONT Six stylish Dubai members’ clubs As a much-hyped exclusive members-only hangout opens in Dubai this autumn, Style finds out more, and rounds up some other elite clubs THE NEW ONE: VILLA ROMANA The likes of George Clooney and Penélope Cruz have been spotted hanging out at Saint Tropez’s renowned Villa Romana – and now the exclusive brand is coming to Dubai. It’s the brainchild of entrepreneur Jean-Luc Fournier, who aimed to bring the flavours of his Italian homeland to the clientele of the Côte d’Azur. The outdoor venue’s unique charm was created by mixing the traditional decor and relaxed charms of a pizzeria with a dash of elegance and a fleet of fibre-optic fireflies, topped off with live DJs, fancy fashion shows and exclusive parties. In Dubai the club is set to open towards the end of October at Grosvenor House, taking up the wide berth of beach behind XL Beach Club. Precious few details (or photos) were available as we went to press, but we’ve been told to expect something pretty special. www.villa-romana.com. DUBAI MARINA YACHT CLUB It’s no secret that boats are something of a status symbol in Dubai, and every captain needs a place to dock. Dubai Marina Yacht Club charges for membership according to the size of your vessel, with berthing fees for an 8m vessel starting at Dhs20,000 a year. But as with most elitist hobbies, it’s not all about time on the high seas: the club offers plenty of private areas in which to mingle, including a library, cigar lounge, a private bar and terrace and a conference lounge. Members are also invited to special conferences, talks and even group trips out of the emirate. www.dubaimarinayachtclub.com. 16 Time Out Style CAPITOL CLUB For DIFC’s high-flying business types, The Capitol Club offers both a networking hotspot and an exclusive social hangout. Membership is strictly by invitation only, and no prices were quoted to Style. Instead, potential candidates are offered a tour to see if they fit the bill and ‘an agreement can be reached’. So far, more than 1,500 people have made the grade since the club opened on the top floor of Gate Village building 3 in 2008. Members benefit from spacious lounges, meeting rooms and dining options, as well as invites to a range of exclusive events and forums. www.capitalclubdubai.com. THE QUAY HEALTHCLUB Among Dubai’s numerous health clubs, The Quay remains one of the most exclusive, with just 319 members at last count. A single annual membership to both the beach and health club costs Dhs24,000, while it’s Dhs15,000 a year just for beach access (there are discounts for couples, families and concessions). What do you get for the former? As well as standard facilities – 25m pool, aerobics studio, squash courts, weight and training rooms – there’s the High Altitude Suite, which can simulate being at a height of 4,500m, and a climbing wall. But it’s the location – overlooking Madinat Jumeirah’s waterways – that some deem worth the ticket. www.jumeirah.com. BLUE MARLIN IBIZA Weeks after it opened with Words: Rob Garratt a typical display of gusto back in March, renowned Ibiza export Blue Marlin quickly became known as the exclusive-minded clubbers’ hangout of choice. Despite a members-only door policy, a generous allowance of guests for every paid-up member ensures the mood is more nightclub than health club. But don’t mistake this for an open-door policy – one can only become a member with a valid referral, and the club refused to share the price list with Style. A 30-minute drive out of Dubai, the club is located on the beach of Ghantoot’s Al Jazira Island Hotel. Membership also includes access to the pool, shisha lounge, kids’ play area and restaurant. www.bluemarlinibiza.com.

WORLD TRADE CLUB The World Trade Club was opened by HH Sheikh Hamdan Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, deputy ruler of Dubai, in 1989 to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the World Trade Centre – this was the first skyscraper on Sheikh Zayed Road, and for many years the emirate’s tallest building. The desert around the tower may have sprouted glitzier structures since then, but from its location on the 33rd floor of the 39-storey building the World Trade Club still offers an incredible panorama, while the club’s historical clout ensures its members’ list boasts names from Dubai’s most important business, political and social circles. Personal residents’ membership costs Dhs3,500 a year, plus a one-off joining fee of Dhs4,000, and includes free booking of the club’s range of vibrantly decorated meeting rooms. Earlier this year the club’s Seven Sands restaurant began taking bookings from non-members, so for the first time it’s possible for the rest of us to step back in time, soak up the view and mingle with the high and mighty. www.dwtc.com.
