Fashion’s current love is
to pull from tradition and heritage,
and there was a wealth of global
influence to be seen on the season’s
catwalks, carrying a strong underlying
message of cultural inclusion. Russian
and Folk inspiration was a recurring
theme in monochrome and bold
colour combinations. For women
consider tassels, fringing, embroidery
(Valentino’s artisanal embroidery ticks
all boxes) and quirky detailing as with
Dolce & Gabbana’s jewelled sunglasses
or Louboutin’s Venetian slipper.
MOOD: FOUR SEASONS
GRESHAM PALACE BUDAPEST
Acknowledged as one of the top luxury brands
in the world, The Four Seasons is also heavily
involved with sustainability and building
communities. The Gresham Palace on Szechenyi
Square in Budapest is a unique art nouveau
landmark, combining vintage historical elegance
with ultra modern luxury and is credited as the
most celebrated hotel in Hungary. A restored
palace built in 1906 and set amongst museums
and the Budapest opera house, the building has
been painstakingly restored featuring elaborate
medieval inspired mosaics, stained glass and
marble, and given a modern twist with showcases
of the city’s current artists. Stay in one of 179 guest
rooms, including 19 extravagant vaulted suites, and
dine the Kollázs brasserie and bar, for a modern
approach to Hungarian fare. Or take a break from
exploring the beauty of Budapest at the statement
indoor infinity lap pool and wellness centre.
