MILANESE HAUTE COUTURE
1. Geometric necklines define the dresses while midnight blue velvet glows in a palette that ranges from magenta red, aqua green, Prussian blue and cobalt blue to grey and greige.
“Couture is rooted in fashion history. It represents the pinnacle of creativity and sartorial skill, but is a world available only to very few. Today, through the democracy of the Internet, we are able to offer a front row seat to everyone,” stated Giorgio Armani who had chosen to dedicate the collection to his adoptive city, bringing haute couture back to Milan after years of showing in Paris. The decision was born from the will to highlight the uniqueness and excellence of Made in Italy, as Milan reprises its role of international prestige. Giorgio Armani tells the story of his journey, desire for freedom and independence from fleeting trends in his collections. In particular, this Privé collection was presented at Palazzo Orsini, where his Milanese atelier strives for perfection every day. It is this pursuit, spirit and aesthetics of haute couture that Armani wants to bring to the younger generation. Balancing fluidity and proportions, opposites alternate and merge. The show was streamed during the Paris Haute Couture calendar and was also broadcast through the brand’s social media channels. Giorgio Armani thus closes the gap with the general public, and above all, the younger generation.

DAVIDE GROPPI www.davidegroppi.com
A STORY. A STORY OF LAMPS.
It all started in a small laboratory in the historical centre of the Italian town of Piacenza during the late 1980s. Davide Groppi was inventing and producing his first lamps and decided simply to use his own name for the name of the company. Creative independence and passionate, unconventional management have allowed him, over time, to learn and develop his own brand of original and unique products, currently distributed the world over. Simplicity, weightlessness, emotion and creative invention are the fundamental components of each lamp or lighting project designed by Davide Groppi. Davide Groppi creations are never conceived as just lights or lamps. They come about through the need to give life to something that is necessary or significant. Some of the things that inspire these ideas are works of art, ready made objects, magic, the desire to make things with his hands or simply the urge to play and have fun with light. Light in the hands of Davide Groppi is a wonderful way to seduce and excite. Hi has always worked with a faithful group of collaborators who share his vision and help him to develop ideas and bring them to fruition. Over the course of many years of experience, Davide Groppi has developed various products and shows in collaboration with companies specialising in design such as De Padova, Boffi, Paola Lenti and Christofle. There have also been many international projects the world over, including the illumination of houses, stores and museums. Davide Groppi has been particularly active in the area of hospitality (hotels and restaurants). Some of the most famous chefs in the world have chosen lighting solutions by Davide Groppi for their venues, including Massimo Bottura, Massimiliano Alajmo, Moreno Cedroni and Giancarlo Perbellini. Davide Groppi has also been recognised for excellence by the press and received prestigious awards for his lighting creations, Light reinventor and proincluding the Edida Award in 2011 for the Sampei lamp, ducer, Davide Groppi chalthe Design Plus Award in 2014 for the Neuro lamp, as well as lenges traditional design, two awards at the 23rd edition of the ADI Compasso d’Oro proportion and perception Awards for the Nulla lamp and for the Sampei lamp, and the of illumination with utter ADI Compasso d’Oro Mention of Honour upon our resimplicity, seemingly imchargeable lamp Tetatet in 2016. possible weightlessness, or The ADI Compasso d’Oro Award is considered the oldest and unexpected amazement. most prestigious recognition for design in the world.

RESIDENTIAL BLISS ateliermonolit.com The Beach House, a residential housing concept, is the brainchild of design team Ioan Ralea-Toma and Vlad Andrei Popa from Atelier Monolit. Founded in 2016, Atelier Monolit is a creative studio specialized in communicating architectural projects and ideas through carefully crafted imagery. The studio is the result of the collaboration between architects Ioan Ralea-Toma and Vlad Andrei Popa who share a passion for visualization, photography and graphic design. Their designs continually challenge the status-quo to capture the essence of the intended location or idea. The design concept behind the Beach House is one where absolute freedom of body and mind prevail. The project has been envisioned for a young couple with a passion for the outdoors. The minimalist structure with contemporary look features large floor-to-ceiling windows that convey a sense of unity with the surrounding landscape, whilst offering its residents spectacular views of the surrounding area.

In honour of the train’s inaugural route through the heart of continental Europe, the Grand Suites embody the soul of the cities - Paris, Venice, Istanbul, Vienna, Prague and Budapest - exuding Art Deco inspirations while providing every modern comfort. “Inspired individuals would purchase their own carriage and task designers with transforming them into beautiful and opulent spaces that were uniquely theirs,” Pascal Deyrolle, general manager of the Venice SimplonOrient-Express, explains the Grand Tour’s allure. “The Grand Suites are a re-imagining of this tradition. We’re going back to our history to create something that feels revolutionary.” Cocooned in delicate silks and intricate woven fabrics, the Venetian Suite (top) evokes Italian design heritage at its finest.

THE GRAMERCY PARK HOTEL NEW YORK www.gramercyparkhotel.com This landmark hotel located in the heart of New York City has been home to creative minds and distinguished guests for nearly nine decades. The hotel is a modern take on the traditional grand hotel, with its custom-designed, handcrafted furnishings and rotating collection of 20th century artwork, including masterpieces from Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Every room in this boutique hotel features unique luxury amenities -- imported linens, cutting-edge artwork and luxurious care products. Whether dining at Danny Meyer’s acclaimed Italian eatery Maialino or enjoying specialty cocktails under the soaring ceilings of the exclusive Rose Bar, Gramercy Park Hotel delivers exceptional guest experiences. And with a rooftop terrace providing stunning views and a key to Gramercy Park, Manhattan’s only private park, Gramercy Park Hotel guests have access to the very best of New York City. The Gramercy Park Hotel received its 21st century facelift from Oscar-nominated director and artist Julian Schnabel with a distinct Renaissance-revival concept. He was inspired by the vivid colors and artistry of this era, clearly shown in the bold palette chosen for the walls, curtains, upholstery and carpets. Every piece of furniture was specially selected for the hotel, and many of them, like the hand-crafted Moroccan tiles and Italian fireplaces, were imported from far-away markets. Schnabel himself cast a more literal hand on the space, forging the hotel’s bronze door handles, curtain rods and bronze concierge table, which retains his fingerprints to this day.The result of the carefully curated, eclectic collection of custom and rare pieces is an environment that is at once regal, relaxed, and ultimately, transporting. Since 1925, it has hosted some of the world’s most influential stars: from Humphrey Bogart, Babe Ruth and John F. Kennedy to musicians like the Beatles, Bob Dylan, Madonna and U2, giving it the legendary rock-and-roll edge it maintains today.

Independent Schools Council data shows that international demand for UK independent schools has risen significantly over the last ten years, driven by currency, quality of life and access to the best universities. In 2020, British Independent schools recorded a 6% growth in the number of foreign students3, particularly from China, Germany and Russia. As well as the very best education, parents value the international friendships their children can forge at top schools: “In a world where business is becoming increasingly global, having your children make friends with people from lots of different nationalities is considered very attractive,” commented William Petty, of Bonas MacFarlane4 In July 2020, almost 6 million pupils were being taught at international schools around the world, with East and South-East Asia showing the highest demand5 as parents eschew overseas boarding schools in favour of high-quality local alternatives.
According to Morgan Stanley, one of the way in which its customised wealth management and education programmes maximize the value of human capital is through next-gen connection, which forges productive relationships that can exist through and beyond the transition of wealth from one generation to the next.
P a o l a C i l l o , P r o fe sso r , BOCCONI UNIVERSITY -To achieve a successful and timeless luxury brand, there are at least three ingredients: the uniqueness or singularity of the brand, made of its aesthetics and values; then we have ots plurality and inclusiveness, its ability to speak to a plurality of audiences and have a sort of lexicon that remains recognisable yet able to tackle different kind of communities, and lastly, the consistency of the brand, across time, cultures, people, geography and location.
T h o m a ï S e r d a r i , P r o fe sso r , NYU STERN SCHOOL OF BUSINESS -Luxury has a very strong relationship with innovation and culture. I often make this analogy, I think, of luxury as a beautiful flower that needs sun, air and water to grow, and we can think that all these elements are part of the environment in which luxury grows and thrives. This is our culture.
