Memos From The Middle East: From Van Cleef's Ballerina Exhibition To Summer Beauty Drops And Sky-High Swims At Aura
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 Roberto Cavalli x Skims: The Swim Collab of the Summer Just in time for high summer, Roberto Cavalli and SKIMS are dropping a sultry, limited-edition swimwear collection and it's every bit as bold as you'd expect. Fusing Cavalli's iconic Italian prints with SKIMS' curve-loving silhouettes, the line is a glamorous nod to Euro Summer energy. The collection features three striking archival prints – Fagianella, Light Zebra, and Tiger Face, splashed across swimwear, cover-ups, and accessories in sizes XXS to 4X. Kim Kardashian, shot by the ever-iconic Nadia Lee Cohen, leads the campaign in retro scenes with a playful twist, plus a surprise appearance by Kris Jenner. Launching June 27, the collection will be available on in select Roberto Cavalli boutiques, and at global luxury retailers. Swim season just got a serious upgrade. Old Money, New Energy: Tiffany's Latest Surprise What do you get when Tiffany & Co. and artist Daniel Arsham join forces once more? A penny -reimagined, eroded, and wrapped around a whole lot of sparkle. Their latest collaboration features the limited-edition Bronze Eroded Penny Vessel (there are only 39 in the world), and hidden inside? A jaw-dropping HardWear necklace in 18-karat white gold, set with over 1,000 diamonds and Arsham's signature tsavorites. It's part sculpture, part fine jewellery, and all kinds of iconic. Presented in a custom Tiffany Blue crate, this is the kind of heirloom that makes history feel cool again. A Sculptural Homage to the Sea by Cindy Chao Inspired by her first time snorkelling, jewellery artist Cindy Chao has unveiled her Aquatic series from her White Label Collection – a shimmering tribute to the ocean's mysterious depths. From corals to conch pearls, each sculptural piece reimagines marine life with vibrant gemstones, rose-cut diamonds, and meticulous craftsmanship. With underwater hues of emerald, sapphire, and sunlit gold, the collection transforms the sea's quiet poetry into wearable art. Highlights include the luminous Odyssey Earrings, gleaming Coral Earrings, and the radiant Ocean Necklace adorned with pearls. Light dances across every surface, echoing the serene rhythm of the ocean – making this one of Chao's most poetic and powerful artistic statements yet. Beauty Anastasia Beverly Hills Launches Its Summer Capsule Summer skin just got a major upgrade – Anastasia Beverly has dropped a dreamy trio of glow-giving essentials made for golden hour selfies. First up, the Smooth Blur Contour Stick: sculpt, swipe, stun with this gel-like, super-blendable stick that delivers effortless definition and a dewy, second-skin finish, as it is infused with soothing Vitamin E. Then there's the Magic Touch Blush Trio – three juicy cream shades that melt into your skin for that 'just kissed' flush with a soft-focus glow (no filters needed). And to top it off, the Smooth Blur Bronzer brings pure bronze goddess energy with its buttery gel-powder hybrid formula – zero cakiness, 100% summer mood. Available at Sephora UAE, KSA, Bahrain, and Qatar from June 26, and in Kuwait from July 4. Kurkdjian's Most Coveted Fragrances Return For years, a whisper has trailed through the world of haute perfumery: secret scents, once available only to a lucky few, quietly gifted by Francis Kurkdjian himself to friends and VIPs. Now, in an ultra-exclusive summer launch, those elusive olfactory treasures are stepping into the spotlight. Introducing My VIP – Very Intimate Perfumes, a collection of four cult fragrances. We're talking about Absolue Pour le Matin, which smells like sunlight and new beginnings, with soft lemon, violet, and herbaceous thyme. Or Absolue Pour le Soir, inspired by 1970s New York nightlife, a spicy, sensual blend of rose, cumin, and amber that clings to skin like velvet. There's also Reflets d'Ambre, which holds warmth, spice, and creamy vanilla, like bottled honey. Available only at Maison Francis Kurkdjian boutiques and its website, the My VIP collection is luxury fragrance at its most personal. Dining A Summer Above: Afternoon Tea with Sky-High Sips and Sunshine Vibes Shangri-La The Shard has teamed up with Papa Salt Coastal Gin – yes, the one co-founded by Margot Robbie – for a limited-edition afternoon tea 35 floors into London's skyline. Inspired by the laid-back beach life of Byron Bay, this summer pop-up brings zingy, sun-kissed flavours in abundance. Expect dreamy patisserie by Executive Pastry Chef Piero Sottile – think vanilla-pecan pralines, a citrus-bright blueberry and lemon fusion, and a caramel-apricot creation that practically glows. The showstopper? A whimsical 'Shard of the Sea' dessert to share, served atop actual clouds (okay, candy ones). Running until September 31st, this breezy afternoon tea is priced at £78 (or £96 with cocktails), and it's basically a beach holiday for your tastebuds – minus the airport stress. Book now before it's gone with the summer sun.

From the very first dancer clip created in 1941 to today's dreamy, diamond-studded figures, each piece captures a movement frozen in time – delicate tutus, bejeweled hair, and dainty pointe shoes, all glimmering with craftsmanship and charm. Alongside the jewels, rare archival sketches show how each ballerina was imagined into existence.

WNC gem mining: 6 places to uncover hidden treasures this summer
Western North Carolina is known for its hills full of hidden treasures. From rubies and sapphires to emeralds and gold, the region is stocked with gems, stones and minerals still waiting to be discovered. The region has a rich history of commercial mining, with abandoned mines dotting the landscape, and others still producing quartz so pure, it's become a critical component of the tech industry. But for those amateur rockhounds who don't mind getting a little dirty and maybe a little wet, there are plenty of opportunities to dig for treasure. While Tropical Storm Helene devastated Western North Carolina with severe flooding and landslides at the end of September, outdoor recreation businesses, vital the region's economy, are starting to reopen. Here are some of the best WNC gems mines and other spots to prospect, dig and pan this summer.
