Memos From The Middle East: Meet The New The Tiffany & Co. Atlas Watch, Clap Ibiza Arrives, And The Peninsula Paris Unveils A Pretty Afternoon Tea
Every week Bazaar brings you the latest news in fashion and beauty, luxury and lifestyle, straight from our desks to yours — from across the region and beyond Fashion Dior Launches Its A/W 25-26 Campaign Dior's Autumn-Winter 2025–2026 campaign feels like stepping into a beautifully surreal novel – one where fashion, time, and identity all shift and shimmer. Shot by Tim Walker at England's majestic Hatfield House, the campaign takes its inspiration from Virginia Woolf's Orlando, a character who journeys across centuries, genders, and selves. Just like Orlando, the collection is multi-dimensional – expect shortened crinolines, zip-up corsets, and jackets crafted from velvet with rich embroidery. Jewellery & Watches Tiffany & Co.'s Atlas Watch Gets A Whole New Look Tiffany & Co. has relaunched its iconic Atlas watch collection, blending the spirit of New York with a thoroughly modern edge. First introduced in 1983 and inspired by the legendary Atlas clock above Tiffany's original Broadway store, the updated collection keeps its Roman numeral heritage, but now comes in steel with polished bracelets or sleek leather straps, and feature dials in the brand's signature Tiffany Blue or crisp silver. And it's not just about looks – these watches are powered by advanced Swiss-made mechanical and solar movements, with the smallest size offering solar charging that keeps it ticking for up to eight months. Fred Jewellery Reveals Its Latest Rise Designs Fred has unveiled Force 10 Rise, the latest evolution of its iconic jewellery collection. First imagined nearly 60 years ago from founder Fred Samuel's love of sailing, Force 10 has long been a symbol of courage and boldness. Now, the beloved collection rises anew, featuring pink and white gold cables and buckles. The new pieces, from cascading necklaces to mix-and-match hoops, ear cuffs, and stackable designs, offer endless styling freedom – be sure to layer with abandon. Beauty Armani Launches Its New Luminous Silk Cheek Tint Shine Giorgio Armani Beauty has launched the next big name in blush: Luminous Silk Cheek Tint Shine. Inspired by the fluidity of silk organza and the brilliance of pearl, this new formula offers a refined, luminous finish that lets light dance upon the skin. Harnessing Armani's signature watercolour technology, the formula fuses ultra-fine pigments with a delicate water-in-oil emulsion. The result? A second-skin texture that glides on like silk, blending seamlessly while allowing colour to bloom and glow. Available in four radiant, light-catching shades. Dining A Bee-autiful Afternoon Tea This summer, The Peninsula Paris and Maison Chaumet come together on a delicious delight. In celebration of Chaumet's beloved Bee collection, the hotel has debuted a limited-edition Afternoon Tea at Le Lobby, where honey and floral notes take centre stage. Crafted by award-winning Pastry Chef Anne Coruble, the exquisite sweet and savoury creations are inspired by both the rooftop beehives of the hotel and Chaumet's storied celebration of bees. Each tiered treat – from avocado honey and beeswax pastries to muscovado brioche filled with raw cream – is more delicious than the next. Travel Clap House Ibiza Opens With A Dolce & Gabbana Takeover Clap House Ibiza has officially arrived – the island's newest destination to see and be seen at. From the team behind Clap Dubai, this Talamanca hotspot is home to the island's first Clap Pool Club, the new Seven Wellness Club, and a stunning Dolce & Gabbana takeover adding fierce fashion flair. Guests can lounge by Ibiza's largest Olympic-sized pool, sip refreshing drinks, and savour Clap's signature Japanese cuisine – from crispy rice salmon to indulgent omakase. Whether it's a mindful morning, moonlit dinner, or a full-day escape, Clap House Ibiza is the new go-to for sun-soaked sophistication. Junior Novikov Café Hosts A Whimsical Kids Pastry Masterclass This summer, Novikov Café sprinkles a little magic for little hands that need entertaining – a whimsical hands-on baking session designed especially for kids. Taking place on Saturday, July 5 and 12, the two-hour experience invites budding bakers to don their very own chef hats and aprons before stepping into the café's elegant pastry atelier. Led by Executive Pastry Chef Francesco Fiorentino, children will craft cupcakes, whip buttercream, and decorate their sweet creations. Each little guest leaves with a Junior Pastry Chef certificate, a goodie bag filled with treats, and plenty of sweet memories. The experience is priced at AED 150 per child, and spaces are limited – bookings can be made online at or via phone at +971 4 320 0209.

Bodrum bound? The essential guide of where to stay, dine, and reset
Beyond the yachts and beach clubs, Bodrum is having a chic moment. Here, we shortlist the essential guide of where to stay, dine, and reset. STAY Maçakızı Hotel Tucked into a cove in Türkbükü, Maçakızı Hotel is the original understated icon of Bodrum's hotel scene. Loved by insiders for its barefoot-glam energy, this destination is a summer fixture for tastemakers and royals alike. METT Hotel & Beach Resort For something more serene, the METT Hotel & Beach Resort in Bodrum is a laidback-luxe escape set against a dramatic backdrop of Haremtan Cove. It boasts spacious suites and elevated dining venues – take your pick from Folie Bodrum for seaside dining, Isola Manzara Gardens to curb Italian classic cravings, or Dubai-born concept The MAINE for a vibrant and social time with friends. Visit the spa with a Himalayan-salt room and exclusive therapies for the perfect summer reset. Mandarin Oriental Tucked into the hills of Paradise Bay, the property feels like a private playground for those who prefer their summer days sun-soaked and detail-driven. Think: sleek beachfront villas, private pools, and interiors that whisper understated luxury complemented by impeccable service, and restaurants like Gigi, Roka, and Hakkasan to cater to any craving. DINING Gigi Rigolatto Set within the grounds of the Mandarin Oriental, Gigi Rigolatto takes over the Aegean for a luxurious pop-up this summer. The ultimate all-day Mediterranean escape – Gigi is where you can enjoy discovering curated treasures at the Gigi concept store, stylish sips and Italian favourites, barefoot dancing on Riviera playlists, and elegantly undone tablescapes under olive trees. The Maine Bodrum The Turkish Riviera outpost of the Dubai brasserie by restaurateur Joey Ghazal blends its signature East Coast elegance with Mediterranean flair. Expect oysters on ice, sea bass crudo, and Amalfi lemons the size of your hand – all served in a dramatic setting with views that stretch to the Aegean horizon. Roka Anchored in Mandarin Oriental grounds, this celebrated Japanese robatayaki concept debuts two venues: one for lantern-lit dinners, the other a toes-in-the-sand casual setting, both offering refined sashimi and signature beverages under olive branches with panoramic sea views. WELLNESS The Spa at The Bodrum Edition Slick, soothing, and scenically tucked away, The Bodrum Edition's spa is an elevated wellness escape, offering a modern edit of beauty rituals and clinical-grade facials. Ask for the jet lag recovery massage or a traditional Turkish Hammam and stay for the magnesium pool and open-air hammam garden. Scorpios The Mykonos legend arrives in Bodrum with suites, two restaurants, a Ritual Space for breathwork and beachside sound healing, plus a sandy stage for daytime live music and DJs – a culture-rich sanctuary for those seeking a scene to be seen, with a dose of vibes. – For more on luxury lifestyle, news, fashion and beauty follow Emirates Woman on Facebook and Instagram Images: Supplied
