Story and tradition
of the wine that
touches the sky
Childhood scents and sensations remain indelibly
imprinted in the human brain, and their
evocative power is as strong as the emotions
accompanying them.
Thus, it happens that the scent of a wine can
rekindle in people's hearts the romanticism of
past loves and experiences, in the melancholy of
what is no longer there, and in the hope of what
may still be. When Alberto Verde, founder of
Italian boutique winery Drengot uncorks his
bottle of Scalillo, he smiles, with his eyes lost in
a journey through time that brings him back to
when he was a child and ran through his grandfather's
vineyards. « This scent – he says - contains
what I was and what I am today. The song
of a muse you don't know and from whom you
can't escape, who speaks directly to your heart
and overwhelms you. It is this scent that has
dragged me here again, in my land of origin. ».
He spent his childhood helping his grandfather
to take care of his family's vineyards, immersed
in the breeziness and authenticity of a harsh
territory, that at the same time is generous in
giving itself unreservedly.
After that, Alberto leaves his own land, and chooses
to go far away to be able to start his projects
as an entrepreneur. But that insistent thought
never leaves him - the family vineyards and the
priceless treasure of a tradition that is likely to
disappear.
«"I had been away from Aversa for several years
- says Alberto - my commitments, my job kept
me busy. Then, one day, I came back to visit my
family. It had been a very good year for Asprinio
and I went down to my grandfather's cellar to
see the fruits of a particularly favorable harvest.
There, the scent of Asprinio enveloped me. It
penetrated my mind and went down, straight to
my heart, making me feel a warmth and an
emotion that I hadn’t felt for a long time. In a
moment I saw myself as a child again. Me running
among the vines, during the wonderful
18

feast of the harvest, which here is sacrifice and
sharing. I heard my grandfather's words as he
told me about the importance of the various
phases of the cultivation of the vines. And at a
certain point I realised. Everyone had to be
able to experience such real and strong sensations.
Everyone had to know that priceless
treasure that waits patiently and opens up in
a silent and dark tuff cellar. The Drengot
adventure had officially begun in my mind.».
After that experience, Alberto decides to leave
everything and return to Aversa. He courageously
took over the reins of the family business
and renamed the old cellar with the
name of Drengot. The choice of such an
important name is deliberate: it refers to the
house of Rainulph, a Norman nobleman who
lived in the year one thousand, founder and
first count of Aversa. It is a message: starting
again from the roots to give strength and
vigour to a rare and precious product.
In starting up his business, Alberto makes a
specific choice: not to make compromises.
Asprinio is a white grape variety that has a
unique taste and organoleptic characteristics,
which depend precisely on the process of
ancient cultivation that, by now, almost no
one chooses to carry on.
For the high cost in terms of sacrifices and
work in the maintenance of the vineyards.
The Asprinio vines, in fact, have the peculiar
characteristic of developing in height, at 15-20
meters above the ground, "married" to poplar
trees.
This particular cultivation technique has very
specific effects. In terms of product quality
and plant care and management. It is an
ancient vocation that is very complicated to
manage and difficult to sustain in the modern
management of the vineyard. In fact, the average
harvesting costs are of at least three times
more than a normal harvest.
The grapes of Asprinio must be strictly
hand-picked. Only expert farmers are able to
carry out this operation. Each of them uses a
wooden ladder, the "Scalillo", about 15 meters
long and custom-built on a human scale. The
distance between the rungs, in fact, is calculated
on the basis of the height and weight of
the individual farmer, to allow him to climb
easily along the tall rows and have his hands
free to pick the bunches of grapes. The care of
the vineyards also requires the same commitment:
each farmer carries out the pruning by
hand, on the Scalillo. This results in the typical
"embroidery" of the vines and the binding of
the shoots. Only the Asprinio can lend itself to
this particular cultivation technique and, for
obvious reasons, there are only a few hectares
cultivated following the most ancient traditions
and very few people able to take care of
them.
For this reason, it is possible to obtain a limited
number of bottles of pure Asprinio that
meet the right standards of quality, purity and
taste.
Each year, Drengot produces only about 7,000
bottles of Scalillo and 13,000 bottles of Terramasca.
That's why Drengot wines are exclusive
products that are hard to find.
Each bottle is a precious jewel to which this
unique and spectacular type of cultivation
gives birth. An environmental and cultural
heritage that Drengot has imposed itself to
protect and revive.

Natura Bissé Spa at The Village, Westfield London,
was born with a clear objective in mind: to
offer clients a complete and immersive Natura
Bissé experience. Every detail of this avant-garde space
dedicated to wellness and skincare has been designed
to convey the essence of the brand: from expertise and
results to luxury, sophistication and a five-star Forbes

the largest shopping mall in Europe, this new spa has a
total of 340 m2 distributed in different areas. A beautifully
designed Mediterranean oasis of absolute serenity
designed for visitors to immerse themselves in the
brand and enjoy results driven treatments and experience
the world renowned skincare products.
Natura Bissé Spa at The Village has three treatment

variety of luxurious and innovative facial and body protocols

and well-being trends continue to prove hugely popular with our visitors. he new Natura Bissé Spa in he

IRENE FORTE PRESENTS HER NEW SKINCARE PRODUCT LINE
Irene Forte Skincare is founded by Irene
Forte, beauty entrepreneur and wellness
director of the Rocco Forte Hotels group.
Passionate about wellness and leading a
healthy lifestyle, Irene is a fresh voice in the
wellness and spa industry.
Her family originates from Italy and she has
spent a lot of time there since a very young
age. She first stepped foot in Sicily in 2003
to visit the site that would soon become
Rocco Forte’s Verdura Resort. Six years
later, the resort opened its doors and Irene
spent almost a year working there. She fell
in love with the people, the culture, the food
and the breath-taking nature of the island.
Irene realised that Sicily’s rich ingredients
and the bounty of Verdura’s organic farm
made for the perfect base for a skincare
line. Inspired by Sicily’s authenticity and
beautiful nature, she knew she wanted to
create a nutritious skincare line that was
sustainable in its entire life cycle. She was
also influenced by Sicilian handicrafts,
wanting to ensure that her products were
hand-manufactured and that her treatments
focussed on the power of touch.
Irene has worked closely with Dr. Francesca
Ferri of EffegiLab and her team of biologists
and dermatologists in Trento, Italy. After
three years in development, she has launched
a range of highly advanced formulas, using
the finest Mediterranean and organic
ingredients. Irene Forte Skincare is a
multi-benefit, natural and sustainable
skincare brand, inspired by Sicily and
handmade in Italy. It is the Mediterranean
diet for your skin.
The line is imbued with active ingredients
grown on the organic farm at Rocco Forte
Hotels’ Verdura Resort – organic olive
oil, nuts, plants, herbs, fruits and flora –
compounded with oligomineral water from
Sicily’s mountainous Madonie Regional
Natural Park. With recyclable glass, 100%
recycled paper, vegetable and soya based
inks, Irene Forte Skincare is sustainable in
its entire lifecycle.
Irene Forte Skincare is free from skinunfriendly
parabens, paraffins, colourants,
sodium laureth sulfate and abrasive
fragrances. Expect natural, vegetarian
ingredients, innovative formulas and deeply
effective, targeted results.

CASUAL LUXURY
FOR A MAXIMUM
OF 500 GUESTS.
The EUROPA 2 combines the highest standards with special
moments and relaxation, giving you the freedom to make your
dreams come true – in style, relaxed and personal.
Hapag-Lloyd Cruises is the oldest cruise line in the world, yet it’s unlikely
you’ve ever heard of the company, or its ship EUROPA 2, which has held
the title ‘world’s highest-rated ship’ every year since its launch. So, what
is it that makes this Hamburg-based cruise line the best kept secret in
the world of cruising? We chatted with its International Brand Ambassador
Jonathan Beaumont to find out.
Jonathan, why haven’t we heard more about
Hapag-Lloyd Cruises before?
Well up until a few years ago it was only operating cruises for
the German speaking markets but that changed six years
ago when its first international ship EUROPA 2 was launched.
Hapag- Lloyd Cruises’ founder Albert Ballin actually invented
the concept of cruising back in 1891, so the cruise line has
been doing this for a while now!
EUROPA 2 is a German cruise ship so what can people
expect?
I say to people think of all the good things Germany is
known for, German engineering, precision, design, attention
to detail, that’s what you get with its flagship EUROPA 2.
Why do we buy German cars, kitchens and appliances?
Because we know they’re the best. With EUROPA 2 you’ll find
the very best that Germany has to offer on board.

What did you do onboard that’s different from other lines?
We wanted to create a space that was more like a contemporary
boutique hotel rather than a cruise ship. Everywhere
you go you’ll notice how much light and space there is. The
ship feels stylish and elegant in a very modern way. We also
worked to make sure the ship never feels full even when it is.
What language is spoken on board?
EUROPA 2 is a bilingual ship and all crew speak both German
and English fluently. In fact, most of the guests do too. I know
people have often wondered if they’re going to be able to
mix with people on board and then are surprised to find we
attract a very well-travelled clientele who love nothing
more than switching into English for a good chat. All staff
members have to be fluent in English.
Cruising tends to fall into two camps, those who do cruise
and those who vow they never will. How do you reach
those who say cruising is just not for them?
It’s a good question and one the entire cruise industry keeps
asking! The fact is most who do take a cruise love it and
then continue to do it but it’s important to do your research
and choose the right ship. I think it’s fair to say most of our
guests are not those who would do just any cruise, they
cruise with us because what we do is very different. Our
guests are very varied in their holiday choices and they
might do a two-week cruise with us in the spring, rent
a villa in Tuscany in the summer and then ski in Gastaad
in the winter. They’re well-travelled and very cultured.
A lot of cruise lines in the ultra-luxury sector have switched
over to the all-inclusive model where everything is included
in the price. Hapag-Lloyd Cruises don’t offer this. Why is
that?
It’s not for us. We attract the type of clientele who want to
be able to order a bottle of Château Mouton-Rothschild and
who don’t mind paying for it, so we want to give them that
choice. We have one of the largest wine and spirit collections
at sea ranging from around 20 euros a bottle to 1,000 euros
so there really is something for everyone and we carry over
40 varieties of gin on board.
What about destinations, where does EUROPA 2 cruise to?
Everywhere! No two years are the same. EUROPA 2 traverses
the world and we are always looking for emerging destinations
which we can build into our itineraries plus being a small
ship we are able to visit places larger ships cannot.
What makes EUROPA 2 special for you?
For a luxury ship I love that it’s so casual, yet so chic on
board. We don’t do formal nights but guests do make an
effort to look nice for dinner. I love the caviar nights that
are held on every cruise. Then there are the little things that
happen quite spontaneously that really leave you with special
memories such as the time we were cruising off the coast of
Brazil and the captain saw a couple of small fishing boats.
It turns out they had just made a huge catch, so the head
chef and the hotel manager took boats out to see them and
bought everything! It was so wonderful to see them jumping
up and down with excitement. Then there was the time we
were cruising in the British Virgin Islands and we dropped
anchor at this tiny island with the most beautiful beach. The
ship organised a party with free-flowing champagne and
a barbecue and there was a band playing as we swam. The
year before last I finally managed to cruise into New York
on the transatlantic voyage and seeing Manhattan appear
in the distance like a tiny dot just getting bigger and bigger
was really exciting. The ship had flown in a band from New
York and as we entered they started playing New York, New
York and the champagne corks started popping and people
were getting really emotional not just because we were
arriving into New York, but because the ship had made it
such a memorable event.
So, what’s next for Hapag-Lloyd Cruises?
Well 2019 is going to be a busy one for us. We have our two
new expedition ships being delivered, HANSEATIC nature in
April and for the international markets, HANSEATIC inspiration
in October. We were pioneers in the field of expedition cruising
and have seen a huge surge in those wanting to visit the Arctic
and Antarctic regions. They are certainly on my list to visit.

Drengot Joins
The Luxury
Network Germany
The very unique wine maker Drengot with its long-standing history expands its reputation and brings it
closer to the German market. In the exclusive circle of The Luxury Network members club the company’s
philosophy will be shared in valuable co-operations and also endorsed to the members pre-selected top
clients of true connoisseurs. This fine rare wine in limited quantities of only 7000 bottles per year will exactly
meet with the expectations of a sophisticated clientèle and may be enjoyed the same as the wonderful sparkling
wine of the same provenience.
“The fantastic story of this vineyard is part of the enjoyment of this outstanding product and sharing it in special
moments with special people will create unforgettable experiences. This is what the The Luxury Network and its
members are standing for,” comments Silvia Herrmann, CEO of The Luxury Network Germany.
“Being part of The Luxury Network is an honour, and certainly a source of inspiration to give life to important
projects and collaborations to help Asprinio achieve the acknowledgment it deserves, an exchange of value that
will undoubtedly allow us to forge longlasting and interesting partnerships. “adds Alberto Verde, Founder of
Drengot.
About Drengot
Drengot is a boutique winery based in Aversa, Southern Italy, that has chosen to be the guardian of an exceptional
territorial and cultural identity. Its mission is to make known to the whole world a unique product, made
by respecting a method of cultivation that has fallen almost into disuse: the “Alberate Aversane” (Aversa tree
trellises).
The Asprinio vines are cultivated together with poplar trees. In this way, they extend their branches towards the
sky, managing to climb up to 15 meters high. It is there, at those altitudes, that the grapes ripen, embellishing
themselves with an unparalleled flavour and colour that only such a distance from the ground can give them.
The Aversa trellises are a spectacle of rare beauty: bright and elegant green tapestries embellish the landscapes
of the agro-aversano landscape. A scenario that cannot be admired anywhere else in the world.
The grape harvest and care are carried out exclusively by hand. Skilled winemakers, known by the name of
“spider-men”, climb on handmade wooden stairs. Each staircase is perfectly suited to the physicality of a single
winemaker. The distance of the pegs is calculated on the basis of the length of the leg, to allow the “spider-man”
to make the most agile movements, at dizzying heights.
Drengot wines are the result of an ancient art, handed down for centuries and are made using only Asprinio
grapes. For this reason, given the scarcity of vineyards cultivated according to tradition, it is possible to make
only a few bottles of pure Asprinio that meet the right standards of quality, purity and taste. This is why Drengot
wines are exclusive products that are difficult to find.
Today, Drengot has the responsibility to preserve a precious, centuries-old heritage and to donate to its consumers
wines that no one else has.

patient who is unknown to them at our clinic.
• There are no waiting rooms, the days of a patient’s
consultation and treatment are reserved for them
alone.
• Patients can receive treatment in reasonably sized
groups of family or friends.
• Each patient will have a dedicated team serving them
over their entire treatment period. This eliminates any
communication or handover issues.
• Our approach is a holistic one. Our medical team have
a broad understanding of the human body rather than
limited knowledge of a particular medical subfield.
• Our medical staff are not placed under the same time
pressures as those working in public clinics and hospitals.
We spend as much time as necessary talking to
our patients about their concerns, health problems
and medical history for a greater understanding of
their unique case.
What is the standard procedure?
• We do not offer any standardised treatments.
• We look at every case as unique and formulate a
treatment programme to fit the needs of the individual
patient.
• Our treatments, which are valued between €25,000
and €50,000 are conducted over a period of 3 to 5
days depending on the therapy required.
Where does VIMED source stem cells?
• We use our patients’ own, fresh stem cells.
• The body will always accept the own, fresh material
and not fight against it.
• We use autologous stem cells (a CD34+ sub-type)

which is a repairing cell found in the bone marrow.
• We use a patented laser technique to mobilises
the stem cells from the bone marrow, into the blood
stream - where we source the cells. This does not require
anaesthetic.
• Due to our patented technology, we are able to source
the human stem cells without an invasive operation –
the procedure is completely pain-free.
• Because CD34+ cells have the highest repairing
mechanism, the therapy is not only effective but quick.
• One of the cells used for our treatment can repair
up to 60,000 ill cells before settling back in the bone
marrow where it was before being released into the
patient’s blood.
When should someone consider VIMED CELL’s anti-aging/rejuvenation
treatment?
• While the signs of aging generally start to show at
around 35 (earlier for smokers), the internal process
begins a lot earlier at about 25 when our bodies begin
losing the ability to constantly generate new cells.
• Poor functioning of damaged cells results in symptoms
such as decreased energy, memory loss, mood
swings, poor concentration, fatigue, wrinkles, age
spots, aches and pains, hair loss, insomnia and reduced
sex drive – just to name a few.
• It is important to start considering anti-aging/rejuvenation
from as young as 25 years old.
• Our anti-aging/rejuvenation treatment restores the
health of damaged cells, slowing down the aging process
and addressing numerous aging related issues
which results in a healthier, natural appearance and
better quality of life.
When should someone consider VIMED CELL’s pain
programme?
• For those dealing with chronic pain, doctors will often
recommend surgery.
• We believe that surgery should be only be considered
as the very last intervention, if nothing else has helped.
• Surgery comes with a number of undesirable side
effects and limitations following treatment – this includes
the long-term use of post-op medications and
long recovery periods.
• Our pain treatments, however, are an extremely effective
alternative to invasive surgeries and has been
very successful in reducing the pain experienced by
our clients and - in most cases - has eliminated it
completely, leaving them pain-free.
• Our pain treatment is effective in treating chronic
pain anywhere in the body including the hip, knee,
shoulder, back and ankle.
• Treatments are not just a short-term fix for pain
management but also aids in improving the overall
health and wellbeing of our patients.
When should someone you consider VIMED CELL’s
fertility treatment?
• The term ‘infertility’ is used to describe when a couple
have been unable to conceive a baby after trying
for at least a year.
• Couples who have not been able to conceive after
trying for this period, those who are experiencing issues
with potency, sperm quality or ovulatory disorders,
as well as those who simply want to ensure that
their bodies are producing the highest quality eggs
and sperm, should consider our fertility cell therapies.
• It is crucial to analyse both the male and female in
cases of infertility.
• We always conduct a premium medical check-up on
both the man and woman.
• With a success rate of more than 70%, we have helped
a number of couples in their quest for a healthy and
happy pregnancy (against all odds).

The Luxury Network UK Celebrates
its 5th Anniversary
The Luxury Network UK, the
private membership club is
delighted to announce its
fifth birthday. They are celebrating
their expertise in amplifying brands
and businesses for success, and the
achievements of their members.
The luxury industry has undergone
major changes during recent times.
Economic uncertainty and geopolitical
crises, rapid digital transformation
and fast-evolving consumer
preferences are creating a new
competitive and challenging landscape,
which The Luxury Network
is helping clients to navigate.
The Luxury Network boasts a team
with experience working with best
in class luxury brands, headquartered
in London, the world’s luxury
capital. Boasting 28 offices worldwide
and a network of over 500
brands, the network is the next
generation of marketing for premium
brands; they specialise in forging
unique partnerships, which give
their members the edge in targeting
pre-qualified high-net-worth
clients across the world.
Members join this exclusive club
to anchor their brand in the luxury
space, building brand awareness
and creating powerful affinity
activities with like-minded luxury
professionals. Members share clientele
and activations to support
business development and client
retention. Through industry seminars
and networking at director

sector, they gain access to peer
group intelligence.
The UK is fast becoming the most
affordable luxury market in the
western world
Despite market uncertainty due to
Brexit, there have been few complaints
from retail brands in London,
where the fall in the value of
sterling has had tills ringing with
overseas visitors spending heavily.
Compared with China, prices in the
United Kingdom are on average 22
per cent cheaper.
Chinese arrivals into the U.K. have
now increased by a massive 58%
since 2014 with a projected 46%
growth in the next 5 years; China
now makes up 23% of tourist spend
on luxury goods in the UK, followed
by the U.S. at 13%, and the Middle
East at 12%. Luxury shopping
continues to be a status symbol
for wealthy tourists with the total
spend increasing by 41% in the last
5 years.

The United Kingdom is fast becoming
the most affordable luxury
market in the western world, and
London retains its mantle as the
centre of the retail world, with all
major brands maintaining flagship
stores in the capital. Meanwhile,
domestic luxury customers are reducing
their shopping abroad due
to unfavourable exchange rates and
spending more at home instead.

Sales in the U.K. have historically
been driven by the growth in luxury
cars, designer leather goods,
accessories, and beauty. However,
it is expected that categories such
as luxury hotels, and other luxury
services in the hospitality sector to
increase in importance as consumer
continue to look towards more
luxury experiences over ‘things.’
Sunseeker Adding ‘Wow’ Factor
with Alexander James Interiors
For The Luxury Network, one of the
most successful brand collaborations
to date has been between Sunseeker
London Group and Alexander
James Interiors, the award-winning
luxury interior design firm, which
now dresses all Sunseeker yachts
at boat shows around the world, including
Cannes, Southampton, Genoa,
and Monaco last month. When
a client saw the very first boat they
had dressed, they wanted to buy it,
so long as they could have all the
interiors. With boats selling for between
£3 to 5 million, it has proven
to be an exceptionally fruitful
relationship, and since joining The
Luxury Network three years ago,
Alexander James Interiors says that
the network accounts for between
50 to 60% of their marketing activity
for a fraction of their marketing
budget.
Sunseeker’s Group PR, Marketing
& Events Director Alexandra Harrison,
remarked: “The Sunseeker
London Group have been members
of The Luxury Network for
four years. Helena’s passion for
connecting like-minded brands is
exceptional and through her introductions,
we have made many superb,
beneficial connections.”
Managing Director of The Luxury
Network London and Global Head
of Business Development, Helena
Warren, the luxury expert with the
superlative matchmaking skills for
high-end brands commented: “The
rude health of the luxury sector
has led to a demand for increasingly
sophisticated sales techniques to
promote products and services in a

fiercely competitive market; we excel
in affinity marketing, which isn’t

to be celebrating our fifth

Euromonitor International Identifies
the Luxury Market’s Key Disruptors
Fflur Roberts, Head of Luxury
Goods Research at Euromonitor
International, the world’s leading
independent provider of strategic
market research remarked on
the luxury market’s key disruptors:
“Global luxury goods sales edge
closer to US$ 1 trillion and is set to
reach almost US$93bn in the UK in
the next 5 years.
From 2018 to 2030, despite Brexit
uncertainty the number of highnet-worth
individuals in the U.K. is
expected to rise by 74% to reach
302,000, hailing largely from China,
India, the Middle East, and
Africa. The U.K.’s interest in luxury
also shows no signs of slowing
down but going forward, the focus
will be less on wealth and more
about mindful luxury. Wise brands
will incorporate a wellness and
ethical angle into their products
and services to drive consumer
interest. Materialism as a determinant
of status will persist in the
short-term but with a visible shift
towards experiences, and establishing
and maintaining empathy
will be the most powerful way to
create emotional connections with
luxury consumers.”
A Reason to Celebrate
With the market fast evolving and
Brexit on the horizon, The Luxury
Network, the invitational members
club, offers extraordinary partnership
event and collaboration
opportunities, so brands not only
navigate any unforeseen headwinds
but are propelled and elevated,
giving members a reason to

Vacheron Constantin Fiftysix
Launch Event
Sydney, October 10th 2018 –
Vacheron Constantin transformed
the iconic Restaurant
Hubert into a luxurious jazz theatre
to launch the Fifty-six collection.
100 influential guests were invited
to experience Fiftysix at a dinner
which included a special performance
by Australian singer songwriter
Megan Washington.
For Vacheron Constantin, Fiftysix
collection pays tribute to the 1950’s,
a time marked by easy to wear and
elegantly designed watches. From
the automatic movement to the
glass box crystal or the distinctive
lugs design, a specialty of the
Maison, the Fiftysix brings back
the best of this period while fully
embracing the present time and
the modern expectations of high
watchmaking lovers.
Throughout the evening a series of
Fiftysix installations and one to one
areas were revelled to guests giving
them the opportunity to view and
try the collection in a 1950s jazz-inspired
setting.
Highlights on the evening also included
a KRUG and caviar bar by
our member, Simon Johnson, as
well as a whisky tasting by The Balvenie.
And we loved it!
The new Fiftysix collection is available
from 1st September 2018 at all
Vacheron Constantin boutiques as
well as across the Maison’s authorised
distributor’s network.

This will be the first fashion runway
to have a Paralympian model, Kelly
Cartwright, strutting downthe runway
in a unique couture body paint
design.
Ms Eaton says, “It is great knowing
that what I am creating with Kelly is
not only breaking new ground, but
setting the expectation for all that
we can be as fabulous as we choose
to be.” “The theme of the evening is
futuristic so I am creating a design
for Kelly that will have her looking
partially robotic, partially human.”

This sci-fi nature theme will transform Docklands into a futuristic wonderland. “We are creating something very
unique here, something that has not been seen before and that is super cool. Body art is only one part of the vision,”
Ms Eaton says.
Intricate designs, visual art and textures will be showcased throughout the event, merging the barriers between
fashion and art.
“My involvement with a couture fashion event is a great opportunity to showcase the fusion of art and fashion.
Fashion in itself is so highly creative, and I am thrilled to be able to add further creativity to that by integrating
body art into my couture design,” she says.
Guests will be mesmerised as they watch the theatrical runway come to life. Promising diversity and beauty, the
models will don exquisite couture pieces symbolising that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes.
The proceeds from the Angels with Wings event will be donated to Mercy Ships – an international organisation
who operate hospital ships in developing nations to deliver free healthcare services. This aid is offered to people
of all walks of life regardless of gender, race or age.
Ms Eaton will be creating a live painting during the Media launch, prior to the Runway Show, that will be donated
to the live auction, due to take place on the night of the event.
“Fashion is meeting art big time, and it is an honor to be a part of this fabulous event” she says.
The Gold Coast is bringing something new to not only Melbourne, but Australia. Neva (Dressed AU – creator of
show) and Tracie Eaton are both from Gold Coast. That is just wonderful.

TLN UAE’s Heart of Europe
Luxury Extravaganza

100 million AED each and the site of The Luxury Network’s Extravaganza for the evening.
After a tour of the Floating Seahorse villa’s and the wonderment of the underwater bedrooms, guests transferred
to the island and stepped onto the beach, following the enchantingly lit jungle trail to the magnificent 25,000sqft
Sweden Beach Palace, where they were greeted by the inviting sounds of the Red Bull DJ, Red Bull Organics
Mocktails and delectable canapés by Ravioli and Co. With over 50 News outlets snapping pictures of the city’s
elite as they wandered through the expansive island palace, guests encountered luxury showcases by Al Bait
Sharjah, Natura Bissé, Evoke International, ExecuJet, Claviger, Coveti, Baravia Fashion and Whyte. Influencer

with Voss water throughout the evening. Press and Media were also treated to a press conference launching the
new Hi Dubai TV series, meeting the 20 most influential women in Dubai, featured in the series, which begins
airing on Zee TV and Dubai One channels in January 2019. With over 360 patrons in attendance, the island oozed
with luxury, basking in the light displays and fire torches surrounding the infinity pool overlooking the water.
With a night full of influencers and movers and shakers, the night ended with a luxury gift bag from Gold Collagen
