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 EXPANDS ITS UNIVERSE

OF BEAUTY WITH ITS FIRST GLOBAL

STAND-ALONE DAY SPA IN LONDON

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

accredited service.

Created by the Spanish architect Juan Trias de Bes, and

inspired by the brand’s Spanish roots, the interior design

is all about Mediterranean luxury and features noble

materials and warm colors reflecting Natura Bissé’s

commitment to quality and excellence.

Located in The Village, the luxury shopping area within

the Westfield London shopping center, which is now

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

rooms, which each benefit from 99.9% pure air, free of

polluting particles, where customers can enjoy a wide

variety of luxurious and innovative facial and body protocols

to beautify and balance body and mind. The skincare

consultation area will offer bespoke skin diagnoses

and product recommendations. Natura Bissé has created

a complete menu of services that also includes a new

exclusive treatment developed especially for this new

spa location and The Village luxury shopper. The spa is

available for private hire for special events and beauty

gatherings and the world famous Natura Bisse bubble is

also available for treatments.

Veronica Fisas, CEO of the Natura Bissé company and daughter of the founder of the company, Ricardo Fisas,

said of the launch, scheduled for December 2018 : ”This first stand-alone spa represents a key milestone for

the company and an important step to consolidate our international expansion. We are delighted to open in

Westfield London, which we believe to be a hub for the global shopper and international traveler to London.

As the only spa in this retail destination we feel that customers come to Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield because

their malls provide the best retail experience. As a company, we want to be where like-minded brands understand

the consumer of tomorrow and know how to stay ahead of the commercial curve”

Keith Mabbet, Director or Leasing UK/Italy, Unibail-Rodamco-Rodamco-Westfield comments: “We’re very

exited that luxury skincare brand Natura Bissé will open its first global stand-alone spa at Westfield London

later this year. Over the past 10 years we’ve seen a staggering 62% increase in spend on health and beauty,

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

Village, which itself was the first luxury precinct for any UK shopping centre, creates yet another unique

experience for our shoppers to enjoy.”

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.

World Famous

Italian Winery

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.

What is the VIMED CELL experience?

The concept behind our boutique clinic is that only

patients who know each other are treated at the same

time. This means that a patient will never meet another

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)

76

Member

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

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

fiercely competitive market; we excel

in affinity marketing, which isn’t

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.

Tracie Eaton paint World Champion

Kelly Cartwright at Peninsula C,

Central Pier Docklands, Melbourne

on October 25.

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

As the sun began to set over the UAE, Dubai’s finest posed on the shore with the new Rolls-Royce Dawn and

Wraith and then climbed aboard yachts to set sail for The Heart of Europe on the Dubai World Islands.

The Heart of Europe project is ambitiously developing 13 hotels on six man-made islands, the worlds first

Floating Seahorse Villas and boast the most exclusive second homes, the Sweden Beach Palaces, priced at over

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

Paris interviewed brands and celebrities alike, live streamed by Red Monkey and a special appearance by Safia

El Omary was captured by McAwesome, 404 and Nurovcom photographers and videographers. Flowers by Stem

Stories dotted the venue over four floors, including the glass encapsulated rooftop, and guests were refreshed

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

and unforgettable yacht trip back to the mainland, reality and maybe one last look at the Dawn and Wraith Rolls

Royce’s vigilantly awaiting Dubai’s jet-setters as they set foot back onshore.
