From the EDITOR<br />
The New Year marks a fresh start for all of<br />
us. A time to turn over a leaf, embark on a<br />
journey and succeed at whatever it is that<br />
our heart desires. While December was all<br />
about reflection of the year’s past, <strong>Jan</strong>uary<br />
is more universally known for resolutions. This year,<br />
I’ve decided to keep none. Instead, I’m going with the<br />
flow and making a list of things that bring me happiness,<br />
activities I want to attempt or do more of – I skied for<br />
the first time in Courchevel and can’t wait to plan my<br />
next ski getaway. Read all about it on page 58.<br />
Less about my journey, and more about the remarkable personalities we<br />
interviewed this month. Asma Saeed Al Hamiz, an investment manager and<br />
emotional wellbeing consultant talks misconceptions and stereotypes in the<br />
UAE (page <strong>18</strong>), while Gregg Sedgwick, the Founder of Gallery One, discusses<br />
the significance of cultural retail for the region’s diverse population (page 14).<br />
Securing an exclusive interview with the CEO of Roberto Cavalli, Gian<br />
Giacomo Ferraris, during his visit to Dubai, is by far one of the highpoints of<br />
<strong>Equity</strong>’s journey (page 22), making me reminisce my love for Roberto Cavalli.<br />
Speaking of the past, we look at the history of the ATM (page 32), as well as<br />
Will Smith’s prolific journey from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air to a cop in Bright, a<br />
Netflix film. Digital Editor Varun Godinho takes us through his tour of the<br />
BOVET factory in Switzerland, revealing nitty-gritty details that will make any<br />
timepiece enthusiast giddy with delight (page 46).<br />
Since <strong>Jan</strong>uary is just the beginning of a great 20<strong>18</strong>, take time to unwind (page<br />
66), cater to your wellbeing (page 40) and spend quality time with family and<br />
friends either at a new hotspot (page 54) or on the course (page 64).<br />
EDITOR'S PICK<br />
Rene Caovilla's latest creation<br />
combines elements of Venetian<br />
art with femininity. One to display<br />
on the shelf<br />
Happy 20<strong>18</strong>!<br />
