Aquatic bliss
It’s a shared dream: to wear garments so stylish that they draw in the kind of enthralled passers-by usually found at the tourist attractions of the Dubai Mall. Well, how about becoming one of those tourist attractions? The new Aquarium Collection from dunhill is the answer. Inspired by some iconic aquarium-style lighters taken from the brand’s archives, this is one of its biggest launches of 2019. Vintage is very much “in right now”, as the kids say, so we’re ecstatic about this new drop from dunhill. The Dubai Aquarium is no match for such artful attire.
The collection is characterised by intricate underwater illustrations on bold backdrops. Salmon pink and algae green pieces provide a more pastel palette, while the azure of other garments promises a perfect pop of colour. This is statement-making at its most refined.
Creative Director Mark Weston has really outdone himself when it comes to the shirts, shorts and accessories in this capsule. The classic two-in-one makes a comeback with reversible bomber jackets (a.k.a: a built-in outfit change so the Insta pics can keep flowing). For another nod to street style, nab yourself a belt bag (the perfect mixture of practicality and style that will make your dad proud) or a casual drawstring backpack for on-the-go.
Whether you’re searching for the finishing touch or an entire outfit, these stunning prints will help you achieve that effortless look.
Originally launched in 1949, the exclusive, hand-painted lighters that inspired the design remain a favourite among collectors, and if you really can’t get enough of these marine motifs, you’ll be delighted to know that a limited edition set of 15 lighters, each engraved and numbered, will accompany the collection for you to complete your look. We’ll sport some sea-life any day.
Slick and stylish
The COS Summer Party Edit takes a sartorial voyage through the elements and is designed to transition from open-air gatherings to Eid celebrations at sundown. Quite simply, your clobber should suit pretty much every occasion.
Each piece is designed with a fresh and effortless elegance resonant of the movement and qualities of water and air. For menswear, the season’s inspirations translate into tailored fluidity epitomised by wool trousers with side folds that open when you walk, allowing for ease of movement.
The deconstructed blazer is reworked in a lightweight fabric, and you will be able to breeze through Eid with a range of light-weight styles including cotton and linen that work seamlessly for both daytime outings and nighttime gatherings.
The menswear parachute ripstop bag is designed for functionality while rounded leather sandals with a knot complete the season’s look.
Fast fashion
We’ve all slopped a bit of pizza down our front at one time or another, and now any stray slices of pepperoni will just blend right in.
Philipp Plein’s new Pizza Boy capsule collection is here and it’s piping hot and ready to devour.
Not only does the punk-renegade inspired style combine our love for fashion and fast food, it also means any rogue pizza toppings can be stored safely on your person for later consumption.
The T-shirts, hoodies and joggers are adorned with patchworks and prints, with each piece being expertly crafted in Italy.
And like any good pizza, it’s not going to last long. The latest drop has a limited number of pieces available and once it’s gone, it’s gone.
You can pick up yours now at Philipp Pleinstores in The Dubai Mall and Mall of the Emirates or order in from www.plein.com.
German designer Philipp Plein founded his namesake luxury fashion brand in 2008. Based in Switzerland, the collection is distinguished by an unconventional and non-conformist style combined with impeccable craftsmanship.
