Bertie Watson moments of vulnerability

TheLondon-basedphotographer discusseshisartisticroutines andbackground.

Interview by Marcella Martinelli

Bertie Watson developed his unique style through his lens and sought to redefine the narrative surrounding celebrity culture, capturing moments of vulnerability and authenticity often overshadowed by the allure of fame. His photographs serve as a testament offering a glimpseintothelivesofthosewhoinhabitthespotlight.

As a trained Opera Singer do you have a favourite Opera and a favourite Opera Singer?

It's got to be Tosca with Jonas Kaufman playing Cavaradossi, I've been lucky enough to seehimplaythisroleattheRoyalOperaHouse,andmymindwasblown.

How did the transition from singing to being a photographer happen, and why?

I was at an event for Paul Smith and noticed a photographer shooting two actors I'd seeninamoviethenightbefore,AnneHathawayandJimSturgess.Ihadnothingtolose, soIintroducedmyselftohim,hisnamewasJamesMason.Iendedupworkingwithhim for a year taking photographs at huge events such as the GQ Men of The Year Awards. He had a huge heart, I owe that man a lot. That was when one hell of an amazing journeystarted.

We're all human, and even A-list celebrities have their insecurities. It's always less challenging when your subjects know you're on their side. Keep your walls down, and they'll let you step into their world.

Your favourite song? Pop or Rock? or other?

It's impossible to choose just one, I'd throw moves to Justin Timberlake's "Summer Love", languish in "Per me Giunto" by Verdi and be transported to another world by Hans Zimmer's "Now We Are Free".

Do you have a favourite photographer? And a photograph that you love, yours or others?

Without a doubt, Austin Hargrave 's use of light and colours are jaw-dropping; they'relike on-set movie stills. I'm also a fan of Greg Williams, the way he can conjure so much spirit from his subjects and show you a glimpse into who they are is fascinating; I'd never get bored looking at photographs. My favourite photograph is the one I took of cinema legend Antonio Banderas coming at me like a Spanish bullfighter, he just oozes va va voom!

What is your favourite style of photography?

I like what I like when I see it, simple as that. That being said, I've been revisiting the art of wildlife photographer Nick Brandt. I've never seen photographs of animals out in the wild quite like this before, and they're breathtaking.

My favourite photograph is the one I took of cinema legend Antonio Banderas coming at me like a Spanish bullfighter, he oozes va va voom!

Black and white or colour?

Blackandwhite,it'stimeless.

Studio or location? or both and why?

Location. It keeps you on your toes, and it's whererealmagiccanhappen.

The most fun celebrity you have worked with so far?

Being taught the moonwalk and dancing to Michael Jackson with Lea Seydoux, she's a gem.

Is there Someone you would not want to photograph and would turn down if offered?

Hitler, but I don't think he'd be asking for a photoshootanytimesoon!

How do you put someone at ease in front of the camera who might not want to be photographed but has to? Has it ever happened to you?

We're all human, and even A-list celebrities have their insecurities. It's always less challenging when your subjects know you're on their side. Keep your walls down, and they'll let youstepintotheirworld.

Where would you go and why if you could go back in time?

You'd find me in The Dingo Bar, Paris, circa 1930s, a cigar in one hand and whiskyintheother.

What is the greatest recognition of your career so far?

Shooting Mark Ruffalo, Emma Stone, Willem Dafoe and Ramy Yousef for Searchlight Pictures, a standard day at theoffice.

Your greatest extravagance?

Agorgeous1949goldLongineswindup wristwatch.

You are at your happiest when?

The four f's; when I'm surrounded by food,family,friendsandfun.

Sustainably, much emphasis is placed on materials like organic cotton or recycled polyester, often overlooking jewellery. However, there are numerous options available. Sustainable jewellery brands go beyond using recycled metals and ethically sourced gemstones; their sustainability practices extend further. These practices include supporting local communities where the jewellery is crafted, providing full transparency and traceability, and implementing zerowaste initiatives to reduce material waste. Additionally, their designs are both fashionable and enduring. Discover how these sustainable jewellery brands are strivingtominimizetheirenvironmentalimpact.

Fluent in the visual language of symbols, Pamela explores jewellery from the point of storytelling. Informed by travel, the brand’s signature celestial, spiritual, and terrestrial motifs celebrate the ritual of wearing jewellery.

As Pamela Love has grown, we have stayed mindful of our impact on the earth, using recycled metals and ethically sourced, conflict-free stones. That mindfulness extends beyond the materials we use. The brand has launched several notable initiatives, includingfairtradeproductionwithartisansinAfghanistanviaTurquoiseMountainand the fundraising trio of Divine Feminine collaborations.

“Jewellery is my way of dreaming and storytelling. Gemstones are Mother Nature’s gift to us. She tells a story of beauty, resilience, courage, romance, and adventure through each gem. I hope my designs reinterpret those tales with thoughtfulness, excitement, and wonderment.” Mara Hotung

After completing her Bachelor’s in art history and psychology at Georgetown University, Mara returned to Hong Kong and earned a degree at the Asian Gemmological Institute and Laboratory. She secured a job at Sotheby’s Hong Kong and catalogued eminent jewellerycollectionsandimportanthistoricgemstones.

Over 250 guests attended the shortlist event, with over 600 people expected to attendtheawardceremonyon26thJune.

The following day (Friday 22nd March), Smither spoke on the Festival’s closing panel: “Forging a Sustainable Business Pathway in the Greenwashing Age”, which drew upon RJ’s Sustainability Survey 2024 (built from consumer and retail research) and which covered topics such as recycled gold, consumer perceptions, greenwashing, and supply chain transparency - and in which greater clarity within the market was called upon. Susi, was speaking alongside such industry specialists as Aisling Connaughton(co-founderandsustainability solutionist - Cyd Connects); Charlie Betts (managing director - The Betts Group); Harriet Kelsall (founder - Harriet Kelsall Bespoke Jewellery); Joy Harvey (artisanal independent goldsmith and designer - La Luce);KerrySaunders(operationsdirectorWeston Beamor Group); and Victoria Waugh (founder - V&V Sustainability ConsultancyandConsideredJewellery).

Now in its 32nd year, the UK Jewellery Awards-dubbedthe“pinnacle”and“Oscars of the jewellery industry” - is the longeststanding and one of the most-prestigious jewellery and watch trade awards event. Attractingalmost600peopleeachyear,the Awards will return to Old Billingsgate on Wednesday 26th June, where the winner of this among other categories will be announced.

There were a record number of entries received for this year’s awards, which recognise and reward excellence across all areas of the industry spanning everything from design and retail excellence through to digital innovation and marketing. These were then reviewed to come up with the finalcategoryshortlists.

The UK Jewellery Awards have a two-stage judging process. In the first round, in order to be in with a chance of being shortlisted, designers had to respond to all of the questions on the entry form and submit images of their jewellery made within the lastyear.

This in-depth application delved into the creative process of each designer, from their training right through to the pieces they'd created over the last year, such as locking in a tighter and more responsible supply chain, through the use of recycled silver salvaged solely from medical X-rays. With a full calendar over the last twelve months - including participating in two London Fashion Week runway shows, joining Selfridges’ roster with La Maison Couture and winning two awards during MilanJewelleryWeek-

Smither was able to share insights into what's driven the brand over the past year and the focus which has helped enhance theprofileofTheRockHound.

Satin recycled

Furoshiki Satin Bag

If you are a fan of sustainable fashion, you have probably come across the name ROOP. The unique ruched arm accessory originated from a lockdown passion project in 2019 by its founder, Natasha Fernandes-Anjo. By exploring fabric movements and ruching techniques, the Furoshiki was created, drawing inspiration from traditional Japanese wrapping cloths.

FASHION

Our Spring photo shoots have been a whirlwind of excitement and timeless style. We have it all covered, from the ‘’Bold and Beautiful’’ looks that make a statement with striking jewellery to the cosy combination of a cashmere sweater with well-worn jeans or a classic white shirt. In our 'Cape Town' shoot, we captured an eclectic mix of charm blended with 1970s swimwear. Meet Tuuli, a model turned entrepreneur who transitioned into a yoga teacher in 2014 and later pursued qualifications as a nutritionist. Inspired by her herbal medicine studies, she founded Tuuli Tea, showcasing her dedication to wellness and sustainability.

Nestled within the vibrant streets of Cape Town, against the backdrop of the iconic Table Mountain, lies a hidden gem – a modernist marvel that blends seamlessly with the city's eclectic charm. It's here, within the confines of this stylish abode, that we embarked on a journey to capture the essence of the 1970s with a swimwear shoot like no other with vibrant colours, bold patterns and sensual lighting reflecting the spirit of summer.

Current Mood

By Clare Lazaro Freelance Fashion Editor/Stylist

A/W 2024 collaboration, surprisingly, went big on bows. Even baby pink satin bows all overashiftdress.Thoughoutofcharacter, of course, the pair made it work, but it still begs questions about where and how this inspiration came about. And then Miuccia was quoted - 'It's strange, because, every single morning I have to decide if I'm a 15year-old girl or an old lady'. Which struck a chord.Whatageareweallmeanttoaspire toemulatethesedaysanddoestheideaof 'dressingyourage'stillevenexist?

Clearly, the average 'middle-aged' woman rarely looks 'middle-aged' any more. We're no longer rolling over into support stockings wearing old-ladyhood the minute we hit 30, 40 or 50. Younger girls (reportedly from the age of 11) are requesting expensive skincare ranges from Santa (well more accurately, from Sephora and Drunk Elephant) and there is a rising demandfortreatmentsfromteensand20year-olds - arguably before necessary. So are women being even more pressured to age backwards, or was Miuccia making the point that she doesn't feel old (or sometimes does) and can dress for whateveragesuitshermood?

I'm going with the latter, not least because Miuccia's little sister brand, Miu Miu, recently made nostalgic nods to Prada's noughties iconic pieces in the S/S 2023 show, with significant references to the going out IRL era that Miuccia might have once enjoyed. The famous Prada bowling bag made a comeback, spilling its contents with high heels, spare socks, possibly a change of clothes and other random detritus that might have been stuffed into your bag for post-night-out emergencies. Slovenlyanddisorganised,itwasacheerful reminder that none of us are perfect. And that'sok.Rememberpackingballetflats,for when the obligatory wearing of high heels becameunbearable?Whenyoumighthave afewotheressentialsonboardincaseyou had to go straight to work from being 'out, out'? If Miuccia and Raf are harking back to those halcyon 'Walk of Shame' years, (in a luxury way of course) I'm here for it, not least for the slightly sheepish, often hazy, but always fond memories. But also because sometimes I'm slovenly and disorganised.

As the Insta, selfie generation scrutinises appearancesmorecloselythaneverbefore, perhaps they are more concerned about presentation over fun than the pre-insta generation were (trying to put off signs of ageing before they've even happened, barely drinking, rarely smoking and shunning going out in preference to online interaction). Which, of course, could be a goodthing-ahealthier,clearerandprettier generationwithoutahairoutofplace.

So, whilst I might not be condoning the reckless behaviour of fashionistas past, I can confirm that it was a whole world of fun. So this season, along with Miuccia, I'm embracingfeelingyoung(asandwhenIfeel likeit)andchannellingthathedonisticerain thenostalgicformofballetflats,MaryJanes, bowling bags, skinny low-cut jeans, supersizedpeplumsandpinkbows(ok,that might be a stretch), but I will also probably beinbedby10pm.

THE BEST OF THE RED CARPET

From the Oscars to the Golden Globes, the Grammys to the Brits, the stars have all showcased their finest beauty looks on the red carpetthisyear.Thelookshavebeenmoresubtle than usual, but they haven’t lost their glamour. This year’s red carpet has been dominated by understated elegance, radiant, glowing skin, and sun-kissed looks with a light, dewy finish, demonstrating that even on the most prominent occasions,simplicityreignssupreme.

Radiant Glow

One of my favourite trends this year was embracing natural, radiant skin. Celebrities opted for fresh faces with just a hint of sun-kissed bronze, proving that a minimalist approachcanbeimpactfulevenwhenitcomestothebiggestnightsoftheyear.

How to:

Healthy, moisturised skin is the key to achieving a glowy look. There is less moisture in the air when it's cold, so be sure to compensate for this in your skincare routine. My approachisalwaysaboutenhancingyournaturalskinratherthancoveringitup.Choose a lightweight, natural-finish foundation that matches your skin tone. Armani Luminous Silk is a staple in my kit; its lightweight finish and silky texture blend effortlessly into the skinforasmooth,naturalfinishthatevensskintonewithoutlookingheavy.

When it comes to bronzer, use a fluffy face brush to sweep across the areas of the face that the sun would naturally hit: the top of the cheekbones, temples, chin, jawline, and bridge of the nose. Hermes Plein Air H Trio powder is a light mineral powder that brightensasitbronzes.

A healthy wash of blush

During awards seasons, celebrities and their teams are always on the go, whether attending events, attending junkets, or travelling. Mimic the appearance of optimal healthwithaswipeofblushonthecheeksforaninstantlyrefreshedcomplexion.

How to:

Infuse your look with a healthy glow by sweeping blush onto the apples of your cheeks, gradually building intensity for a fresh, natural flush. My universally flattering Cheek Colour in red offers a sheer, blendable formula that complements all skin tones, delivering a vibrant yet natural-looking glow. Avoid going too low on the cheeks, as this tendstodragyourfeaturesdown.

Neutral vs Bold lips

Whilst the bold lip colours we often see on the red carpet command attention and elevateglamour,thisyear,it’sbeenallabouttheneutrallip.Theneutralliptrendfocuses onshadesthatmimicthenaturallipcolour,leaningintothethemeofsubtleglamour.

How to:

We all have a perfect nude, but finding it can be trial and error. Too pale, and you risk looking zombie-like; too brown, and your lips look muddy or grey. To avoid looking washed out, opt for a colour one shade darker than your natural skin tone and finish with a shimmery gloss or lip balm. To ensure your lip colour lasts all night, use a longlastingLipPencilunderneathyourLipColour.

Softly Sculpted Brows

Well-groomed brows have the power to frame and change the face. This season sees the return of natural, feathered brows, achieved through a combination of shaping, filling,andsetting.Thisachievessoft,sculptedarchesthatframethefaceflawlessly.

How to:

Fill in sparse brows with a brow pencil or powder using feathered strokes for a natural look. Then, use a clear gel to set them in place for the day. In theatre, you are taught brush the brows up for a youthful appearance as it opens the lid space, and brush brows down to appear older as it makes the eyes appear smaller - a very simple but effectivetrick.

AnastasiaBeverlyHillsBrowPowderDuo/RubyHammerMascara&BrowDuo

Kitten eyes

For a minimalist upgrade on the classic winged eyeliner, meet kitten eyeliner. A more subtleversionoftheclassiccateye,thesmallerlinewasthecoolestwaytoweareyeliner thisyear,liftingtheeyeswithoutbeingoverwhelming.

How to:

Apply a neutral eyeshadow shade across your lids, with a touch of shimmer to the inner corners for a subtle pop. If you’re looking for an all-over shimmer, the Eye Wear sticks in shimmer shades suit everyone and are easy to apply and blend. Starting from the lash line above the centre of your eye, use short, thin strokes to draw alongyourlashlinebeforefinishingwithatinyflickattheend. When it comes to eyeliner, there are so many formulations to choose from - liquid, gel, powder, or pencil. If you want a wing that's going to stay put all day (and night), opt for a gel or liquid liner. Whichever formula you choose, keep micellar water on hand along with pointed cotton buds to perfect the look - this is much easier than building the eyelinerupandup.

GAME CHANGERS FOR YOUR EYES

Puffiness, dark circles, crow’s feet, droopy eyelids – we’ve all been there. Now, a new generation of creams and patches are transforming our delicate ocular area – before our very eyes, so to speak.

Here, Millionair reviews some of the latest eye care launches:

Words by Juliet Herd

MICROSCURRENT MASSAGING EYE CREAM BY SKIN W1.

In what is believed to be a beauty first, the ground-breaking Skin W1 I-Shine Eye Cream combines technology with skincare. The vibrational massage microcurrent device created by holistic doctor, Rabia Malik, features a cooling zinc applicator that activates upon skin contact, seamlessly dispensing the optimal product dosage.

With its high frequency operation at 3000rpm, the unique tip gently massages the eye area, promoting circulation and easing puffiness, while enhancing the absorption of active ingredients.

The improved micro-circulation and oxygenation of the tissue around the eye area also diminishes the look of dark circles, while the negative ion microwave current penetrates the dermis, helping to stimulate collagen and elastin, leading to tighter and firmer skin and a reduction in fine lines.

Prepare to be seduced: this new eye saviour tackles everything, from dryness and puffiness to dark circles and crow’s feet.

Skin W1 I-Shine Eye Cream, £75; harrods.com or skinw1.com

KAMA AYURVEDA AMARRUPA WRINKLE-CORRECTING EYE CREAM & KUMKUMADI YOUTH-REVITALISING EYE CONCENTRATE

Amarrupa Wrinkle-Correcting Eye Cream is a pocket rocket formulation that hydrates and re-energises the skin around the eyes, smoothing fine lines and wrinkles to achieve a firmer, more youthful-looking eye contour. Blended with 14 botanical extracts, including carrot seed and Indian gooseberry, this rich cream is enhanced using smoothing Indian Pennywort peptides and energising terminalia arjuna.

For a brighter-looking eye contour, try the new Kumkumadi Youth-Revitalising Eye Concentrate, which reduces dark circles and puffiness and boosts skin radiance. It’s also enriched with 14 botanicals, including saffron, sacred lotus and Indian madder.

Formulated in collaboration with Ayurvedic doctors and cutting-edge cosmetologists, both clinically proven products are authentic to the original healing plant recipes and traditional formulation methods of Ayurveda.

Kama Ayurveda is a holistic, India-based skincare brand, which recently opened its first international boutique in London’s Notting Hill. Prepare to form an orderly queue!

DR SABRINA PERFECT 360 EYE ILLUMINATE

A powerful, clinically proven serum, the Perfect 360 Eye Illuminate contains a triple-action liposomal formulation that specifically targets the root causes of periorbital problems, reducing pigmentation and inflammation.

Formulated with a light-weight blend of high-performance active ingredients, vitamins, peptides, adaptogens, probiotics and naturally occurring compounds, the serum brightens, rejuvenates and lifts. More than two thirds of participants in a clinical trial found it visibly left the skin instantly brighter and healthier around the eyes and reduced the appearance of eye bags. We’re in! Perfect 360 Eye Illuminate, £90; drsabrina.com

DR BARBARA STURM EVERYTHING EYE PATCHES

We’re obsessed with this all-in-one science and sustainability-conscious innovation that targets every eye concern.

The patches work to instantly hydrate, refresh and revitalise tired eyes while reducing the appearance of dark circles, puffiness, fine lines and wrinkles. The secret weapon? A special hydrogel, which prevents moisture being lost through evaporation and is formulated to help the skin absorb the active ingredients with twice the intensity.

Key ingredients include avocado polyphenols to de-puff and reduce dark circles; triple hyaluronic acid to deliver immediate plumping hydration; vegan collagen to strengthen skin elasticity, skin-identical ceramides to reinforce skin barrier function and panthenol to boost hydration and improve texture. Wear for 15-20 minutes before removing and gently patting the excess concentrate into the skin – et voila!

Each jar contains 30 pairs of biodegradable patches.

Everything Eye Patches, £100; en.drsturm.com

SUBTLE ENERGIES AMLA REPLENISHING NATURAL EYE CREAM

Rich in vitamin C and E and filled with essential fatty acids and vital nutrients that rejuvenate the skin cells, this natural eye cream soothes the eyes, boosts firmness and reduces puffiness.

The advanced anti-oxidant formula also helps to nourish, repair and hydrate the delicate skin around the eyes.

Key ingredients include amla, which promotes collagen and elastin production while fighting key radicals; anti-inflammatory oil brahmi; and rosehip oil, which is pressed from the fruit and seeds of the rose plant and is packed with healing benefits.

The good news? Although based in Sydney, Australia, Ayurveda aromatherapy specialist Subtle Energies has partnered with London’s new Peninsula Hotel and its ayurvedic therapy treatments are offered exclusively at The Peninsula Spa & Wellness Centre.

REVISION SKINCARE C+ BRIGHTENING EYE COMPLEX

This new brightening product is billed as the only under-eye treatment that decongests the microvascular network to reduce dark circles and puffiness.

Formulated with advanced MelaC+ Technology, featuring 10% THD Ascorbate (the most potent and stable form of Vitamin C), it targets underlying causes like increased fluid build-up, as well as increased discolouration and diminished dermal support.

The powerhouse ingredients work in synergy to leave the under-eye area brighter, de-puffed, and refreshed. And it’s got the clinical trials to prove it!

Rumi Cosmetiques Launches Gamechanging PowerBrow + Tinted

Eyebrow Gel To Colour and Grow Brows

The era of thin brows is a thing of the past. The 2010s introduced the trend of fuller brows, with exploring 'how to grow your eyebrows' staying minimal until April 2011. By April 2020, the search peaked as people sought ways to enhance their brows at home. Even those loyal to salon treatments are switching from HD Brows to the PowerBrow + Tinted Eyebrow Gel, a recent release by RumiCosmetiques.

This newly launched product promises to redefine the way users approach brow makeup. It offers a bold colour payoff, customisable intensity, and smudge-proof wear,allwhilecontainingactiveingredients that nourish and thicken brows with every stroke.

Rumi Cosmetiques is a beauty brand for mature women who often struggle with thinning brows. Women lose their natural prostaglandin, the hormone that signals for eyebrows to grow, as they age, meaning brows can become thin, take longer to grow, become coarse and changecolour.

PowerBrow+ is not your average tinted brow gel; it's a game-changer in the makeup world. The unique formula delivers an intense, natural-looking colour, ensuring brows stay on point throughout the day. Specifically made for mature women, PowerBrow+ fills, shapes, and defines brows, providing a natural, youthfulappearance.

Crafted with sensitive skin in mind, the PowerBrow+ Tinted Eyebrow Gel is available in three shades - Espresso, Mocha and Latte - and is also proudly veganandcruelty-free.

Eyelash serums like Rumi Cosmetiques Lash Care+ Serum have been popular for years. Brow serums are the latest trend, with a 20% rise in searches compared to five years ago (November 2018 vs. November 2023). Like its sister eyelash product, Volume Care+ Mascara, the new PowerBrow+ Tinted Eyebrow Gel provides a2-in-1solution.Itgrowsbrowswhilealso tinting them to help users feel more confident.

Expert Tips on Crafting the Perfect Brows

It has a dual approach to its work; more than a beauty brand, Rumi Cosmetiques is also a community that listens, supports, and inspires celebrating sisterhood, especially as women age.

Spring has arrived, and each day brings new opportunities for learning and self-care, encouraging us to nurture our minds, bodies, and souls further.

THE NEW NATURAL

By Juliet Herd

Forget dermal fillers or going under the knife. There’s a soft revolution taking place in the beauty industry as increasingly savvy consumers turn to the latest cuttingedge non-invasive treatments for long-term aesthetic results that are more than skin deep.

Here, Millionair takes a look at some of the best new treatments designed to give glow – and lift – without the downtime.

PicoSure Laser Skin Brightening - Dr Joney de Souza

The PicoSure Laser is one of the most effective ways to correct hyperpigmentation and improve overall skin tone, quality and texture. Unsurprisingly, the expert practitioners at Dr Joney de Souza’s skin and laser clinic tend to treat a preponderance of Australians and South Africans, who are more prone to sun damage and freckles than those in the northern hemisphere. The treatment can also help reduce the appearance of fine lines, acne scarring, wrinkles, and pores, and it is suitable for all skin types.

How it works:

PicoSure laser delivers ultra-short pico-second pulses, which penetrate deep into the skin to shatter tiny pigment particles without damaging the surrounding tissue. These broken-down particles are small enough to be eliminated by the body, resulting in gradual fading. Ticking boxes for both sun damage and age spots as an Australia-born, middle-aged woman, I was booked in for three sessions carried out four to six weeks apart. First, my practitioner, Roma, applied an anaesthetic numbing cream on my face and neck for 30 minutes before using a pigment-zapping handpiece to target both visible and hidden pigmentation. Next, she deployed the PicoSure Focus handpiece, a rejuvenation tool designed to get my skin cells “talking to each other” and stimulate the production of elastin and collagen.

Pain factor:

It started off as a feathery pin-prick, which then gave way to the sensation of a ballpoint pen pressing into your skin. Not exactly pleasant but certainly bearable. Roma gave me a cooling wand to wave over my hot face while she lasered away.

Results:

It takes at least a couple of weeks before you start to see any noticeable results, and it might take longer, depending on your skin type. You can expect your pigmentation spots

How it works:

Extracted from damascene rose cells and measuring about 1/800th of the size of a cell, exosomes (only plant-derived ones are legal in the UK) contain biomolecules including proteins, growth factors, lipids and nucleic acids. They act as 'regeneration messengers' from stem cells to other cells – in effect, they help the older cells to repair themselves. After applying some topical numbing cream to my face (20 minutes is long enough for it to take effect as the procedure is low in discomfort), my practitioner spread exosome serum on my skin before using a microneedle device to create microscopic channels in the dermis, which cause the exosomes to seep into the deeper layers. While exosomes are nanoparticles, they cannot penetrate skin on their own and need these little channels in order to start communicating with skin cells. More serum was then applied topically to maximise collagen and elastin production.

Pain factor and downtime:

The treatment was pleasingly pain-free and fast, lasting less than an hour, including the time taken for the numbing cream to work. My skin felt slightly tingly and tender to the touch and looked mildly sunburnt for a few hours afterwards, but by the next morning, any redness was gone.

Results:

While three sessions (two weeks apart) are recommended for best results, including minimising the appearance of acne scars, enlarged pores and hyperpigmentation as well as alleviating inflammatory conditions such as rosacea, my skin felt plumper, brighter and smoother after just one.

Sylfirm X - Dr Rita Rakus

This magical machine is a next-generation radiofrequency and micro needling system, deploying both continuous wave and pulsed wave in one nifty device to treat pigmentation and vascular lesions such as melasma and rosacea as well as acne scarring. It also tightens and lifts, improves skin tone and leaves it looking clearer and moreradiant.

How it works:

The beauty of the dual-mode procedure is that it can be tailored to different aesthetic concerns and is suitable for all skin types. For instance, the continuous wave is ideal for improving collagen and skin laxity, while the pulse wave RF specifically targets abnormal vessels for improved pigmentation and vascularity. Dr Rakus describes it as “the next stepaboveMorpheus8”.Thedevice’sultra-finegoldneedlesareroboticallyproducedto ensure they penetrate at controlled and optimum superficial depths of between 0.34.0mm. This creates controlled micro-injuries within the skin, triggering its natural healing process, stimulating new collagen and elastin production and reducing the appearance of fine lines. “New technology is showing that superficial treatment is best; the shallower you go, the less pain, less damage and fewer side effects,” says Dr Rakus. The treatment can last up to 45 minutes, with an additional 20 minutes if numbing creamisrequired.

Pain Factor:

According to Dr Rakus, you should experience 70% less pain due to the advanced technologyandvirtuallynobleeding.

Downtime:

There could be some redness and minor swelling after treatment, but this usually disappearswithin24hours.

Results:

While visible tightening comes immediately, for a reduction in the appearance of pigmentation and acne scarring, expect to see results after about one month. Measurable results appear gradually over two to three months as it takes time for the benefits of boosted collagen production to be seen.

INFLUENCING WELLNESS

Millionair’s health & wellness editor, Lucy Wakefield shares her favourite self-care finds for spring

I am a big believer that small self-care moments make the most difference when it comes to our well-being, and whilst I’m not usually one for hopping on trends, I couldn’t help but notice some of the ones set to soar this Spring. A slower, softer feel seeps into the wellness scene, delivering a new kind of glow and a deeper level of luxury – that of time, mindfulness and comfort. Less is more, and quality over quantity is the vibe in every area.

So, forget working out to exhaustion, feeling overwhelmed by constant habit tracking, and starting at 5 a.m. The new and refreshingly effective way to get results is to follow a moremindfulandpersonalisedapproachandtransformyourroutinesintorituals.

If you ever thought about switching your gym routine for something gentler but worried you wouldn’t get the same results, or you’re curious to simplify your 12-step skincare regime or complex contouring routine, now is the time. I’ve downsized the time I spend but upped the intention and quality of all my routines, and I’m very pleased with the results.Ifeelcalmerandmoregrounded.

So here’s my Spring edit of the best new launches and the wellness trends I recommend you try for a simpler, quieter

LUXE WELLNESS TREND: FINDING QUIET

The holy grail of the wellness industry is making meditation and well-being practices realistic and accessible in this always-switched-on world. Now, there’s a new way to tap into the benefits and unwind without the commitmentofjettingofftoadestinationretreat.

Finding Quiet was founded by health and wellbeing expert and meditation teacher Ciara McGinley, who was inspired to truly create a space for women to rest in this ever-evolving, fast-paced world. Collaborating with top wellbeing practitioners, from yoga and Pilates teachers to sound healing therapists, Ciara curates luxury meditation and well-being experiences and mini-day retreats for her community of like-minded women. Working with luxury brands including Stella McCartney, Neom and Bamford, Ciara teaches her guests how to find quiet in the noise and ultimately shows you howthesimplestofpracticescanimproveyourwellbeing.

‘I firmly believe that you don’t need to wake up at 5 am or give up anything inyourfullandbusysociallifejusttofitanideaofwellness,”saysCiara.

Alongside hosting mini well-being retreats and luxury meditation experiences, Ciara also works with a small number of clients on a one-ononebasis,helpingthembuildameditationroutinethatworksforthem. Formoreinformation,visit findingquiet.co.uk

MINDFUL WORKOUTS

Mindfulness is no longer confined to the yoga mat, and the demand for more intentional and intuitive workouts is on the rise, thanks to trends like social media’s cosy cardio and soft hiking, as well as the growing awareness of the benefits of cycle-synching

I’m personally experimenting with this, too. I'm switching my regular HIIT and weights sessions for more Pilates and body weight resistance workouts and listening more closely to what my body (rather than my fitness tracker) is telling me it needs. In my opinion, this trend is built to last as it allows individuals to work to their own rhythms, learning to understand and listen to their bodies.

“Mindful, intuitive workouts take into account things like energy levels and hormone fluctuations, so they help build sustainable and enjoyable routines,” says Sarah Aspinall, founder of Breaking Ballet, a graceful yet strengthening for women in midlife. “They allow you to take a step back and transform both your mind, body and nervous system, too, resulting in a happier, healthier and more balanced you.” For online programs, live classes and retreats breakingballet.com

THE TREATMENT YOU NEED TO TRY

111 Skin Black Diamond Facial

I recently visited the Private Facial Suite at 111 Harley Street Clinic with Dr. Yaniis Alexandrides to experience the Celestial Black Diamond Facial. It’s been dubbed the non-surgical alternative to a facelift. It combines actual black diamond microspheres with highly effective skincare ingredients, LED, micro-current technology, and cryotherapy to make the skin look more instantly youthful while boosting long-term skin health.

After assessing my skin to discover my concerns, my aesthetician created a bespoke treatment to target my priorities: lifting, firming, and brightening.

It’s little wonder the experience, a luxurious blend of the latest and most effective of everything happening right now in skincare, is a favourite with celebrities prepping to dazzle for awards season and the red carpet. My skin was visibly lifted, super-hydrated, and had a wonderful glowing sheen.

It’s definitely a first-class experience and one to invest in if you have a special occasion to prepare for or want to look more like your best self but don’t want to go down the invasive or tweakment route. I also loved the focus on aftercare and the incredible face masks and eye patches they offer for home maintenance. To book the Black Diamond Facial, £240 for 90 minutes 111skin.com

BODY CARE GETS SELF LOVE UPGRADE

Now, this is a trend we can definitely get on board with at Millionair, and it’s not all about aesthetics, although the products will look beautiful in your bathroom. Body care is getting a self-love upgrade, and about time because taking time to massage in a lotion or hydrate with an aromatherapy mist can actually supercharge your well-being. With the constant pressure to achieve more, look perfect and make it all seem effortless, an at-home self-care experience is an accessible way to combat this stress and help you maintain a positive outlook while reducing anxiety.

Combining the power of intentional touch with therapeutic aromas can transform simple routines into rituals and release feel-good endorphins. This is the thinking behind Rare Beauty’s new Find Comfort body collection. Selena Gomez wanted to create products that helped you feel good in your own skin, and she’s certainly succeeded. All the products are gorgeous, but the star products for me have to be the Stop & Soothe Aromatherapy Gel, a handbag-friendly on-go stress buster that’s also a lovely companion for meditation and yoga and the Body & Hair mist, which uplifts and hydrates as it scents with Lemon Zest and Jasmine. rarebeauty.com

WHAT TO BUY NEXT FOR GLOWING SKIN

If there’s one thing I want to achieve with my makeup routine it’s to look like my best self - glowing, rested as if I’ve just come back from a relaxing holiday. So, when I met with Gabriella Elio, makeup artist and founder of Sweed, and discovered her makeup mantra has always been, “look like yourself after a two week vacation – radiant and full of life” I knew I had met a kindred spirit and discovered my new go-to cosmetics brand. Gabriella designed and developed all the formulas, and they have been years in the making, which I hugely respect. Every product has its place and the range is comprehensive but not overwhelming as Gabriella only launches into a new category when she is hundred per cent happy. The newest example of this is the new Glass Foundation, which is set to be a cult classic.

My personal favourite is the Miracle Powder, infused with vitamins and minerals, it casts a magic filter on the skin which gives a flattering glow and blurring effect. It provides buildable coverage, it’s breathable yet long wearing and has skin matching pigments so it works with your skin not against it.

Besides the gorgeous Tiffany-esque packing, I adore Sweed for its vegan and animal friendly credentials – they who save one sea turtle for every mascara sold. sweedbeauty.com

What is the most frustrating element of running an eyewear brand in 2024?

To cite one main frustration, it would be fashion stores not recognising the value of quality eyewear. This season, it's our aim to change that with our new SUN 2024collection.

What frames do you wear (and return to time and time again each season) from the Kirk & Kirk collection, and what do you feel those particular designs say about you? Also, please include what colour frames you wear and why.

My mainstay is HORACE in colours including Pink Cadillac, Cobalt Blue and Matte Moss Green, and I like wearing that with a photochromic lens (that goes darker in the sun) with a hint of flash mirror. I feel like the most authentic version of myself is wearing that, and when you wear the right frame, you feel better about yourself and find other peopleengagewithyoudifferently.

What are the most common mistakes most guys make when selecting eyewear?

There are two common mistakes. Firstly, they look at pictures of other people in glasses and think that if they wear the same frame, they will look like Austin Butler or Cillian Murphy. The second is playing it safe and not taking any risks. Eyewear says so much about who you are,andsomanygoforclassicshapesin tortoiseshell that basically say, ‘Please don’tnoticeme.'

A pop of colour is always a great conversation starter, but ultimately, your eyewear should always reflect your personality and your mood, so a more understated tone would be somethinglikeMidnightorRoyal.

Congratulations on a fantastic new sunglasses collection. What are you most looking forward to in 2024 connected to launching this line?

Thank you! We're really looking forward to a deeper connection with the fashion world through this collection.It'sanopportunityforusto communicate how optical frames are really a part of your look, not simply a necessary way of seeing the world moreclearly.

Of all the celebrities that have worn Kirk & Kirk, do you have a particular favourite, especially in terms of what Kirk & Kirk frames really suited them? And if you could see anyone wearing Kirk & Kirk, who would it be and why?

It’s always an honour when we see someone in the limelight wearing Kirk & Kirk. Robert Downey Jnr has been a fan for several years, and his choices always look spot on. Questlove and Jason Bell also wear our frames with joyous ease, and they always look so natural on them. We loved seeing J. Smith Cameron from Succession in our frames recently, and I’d love to see Cillian Murphy in our frames in 2024; his spirit of independence and irreverence really echoes that of Kirk &Kirk.

Apart from eyewear, is there anything special you collect in your wardrobe, any accessories, etc? If so, please let us know details about the collection (when it started and why, the quantity, etc) and include a snapshot of yourself with them if possible.

Trevira ties! I’ve been relentlessly collecting their 2.5” ties for about 30 years.

Plant life and the natural world are constant touchpoints. Hoare’s series of “green goddess” paintings offer a feminist take on the “green man” figure of medieval PaganChristian folklore. They can be seen as a reminder of the possibilities of human and, morespecifically,feminineintimacywiththenaturalworld.

Her “Glasshouse” paintings feature five portraits of women from The Glasshouse – a social enterprise empowering female prisoners through horticultural training. A passionate supporter of The Glasshouse, Hoare’s paintings are larger-than-life-size images. The scale throws off viewers’ preconceptions, monumentalising these women from marginalised communities and emphasising their potential for growth. As individuals and archetypes, they represent the opportunities for renewal the natural worldoffersthroughhorticultureandsharedexperiences.

Hoare’s practice repeatedly turns to themes of renewal and hope. Transitional colour palettes and lush vegetation expanses hint at the seasons' turning and the inevitable return of light and life from darkness.

Lympstone Manor

WordsbyDavinaCatt

Meander down to the tranquil heart of Devon, overlooking the commanding views of the River Exe, and you will find a statuesque Grade 11 listed Georgian manor, now creatively restored into the luxury five-star country hotel, Lympstone Manor.

Renovated by entrepreneur and highly acclaimed celebrity chef Michael Caines MBE, the once sleepier side of Devon has been given a dose of refined glamour with this modern restoration that is careful to pay respect to a building steeped in history and family legacy.

Lympstone dates back to the Roman and Saxon eras as the City of Exeter held an important part in Roman trading and later the then ‘Courtlands House’ was bought by local merchant bankers, the Baring family, around 1760, who extended it from a farmhouse into the sweeping Georgian manor and picturesque veranda gardens that are still visible to the front of the building today. Indeed, the owners still possess old newspaper archives from the local ‘Exeter Flying Post’ which reference ‘Courtland’s, with its beautiful, park-like pleasure grounds, well-known walled garden, peach house, graperiesandconservatories….’

Today, you can still find references to Regency and other period features within the stately interiors – muted powder blue hues, decorated wall panels and brass inlays – sit easily within the juxtaposition of antique objet d’art and modern conveniences. So, expect to find 21 luxurious suites facing onto the elaborate seascape vistas of the Exe estuary and Jurassic coast, with all rooms individually designed taking inspiration from a differentfamedbirdoftheestuary.Thiseditorstayedinthe‘Egret’classicsuite:anopen planned, king-sized room with a garden view designed in varying shades of milky white, paleblueandgreyasitsaviannamesake. Thesuiteresemblestheeasyopulenceofthe

Caines’ stellar culinary background puts the Lympstone Manor menu and newly converted three dining areas at the forefront of the offering: the exquisite, Michelinstarred, 8-course ‘Estuary Tasting Menu’ is also paired with wines from the local Lympstone Manor Vineyard, a passion project of Caines, himself; ‘Most of the great vineyards of Europe are all located near rivers, the Médoc châteaux of Bordeaux on the Gironde, wine estates along the Rhône, Loire, and Rhine rivers, the great port vineyards of the Douro. So why not the Exe estuary?’ Approximately 10.5 acres, with soil sitting on anExmouthsandstoneformationdatingback250millionyearsago,thetotalplantation has around 17,000 vines, mainly made up of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Meunier. The tasting menu is full of exquisite vignettes such as Cornish Octopus, barbequed sea bream in a roasted fish red wine sauce, braised Cornish turbot and the new addition, a mouth-watering lightly salted cod in a nettle based velouté, that reflect both the precisionandcreativityofCainesvision.Youwillalsofindalacartedishes,andthechef’s teamareonhandtoofferwineguidancewiththetwobasementLympstonewinecellars comprising 600 bins and a wine tasting room with state-of-the-art Wine Emotiondispensemachinesandabespoke-builtgranitewinetastingtable.

If you want a truly rustic experience stroll through the 28acre garden into the accompanying woodland where you will find the six Lympstone shepherd huts – luxury interior design meets glamping with a hint of bohemia between – expect sumptuous fabrics,kingsizedbeds,openplankitchenettesandloungeareasallinwarmcolourways, ideal for romantic getaways, solo trips or even family breaks. Slope down to the end of the garden meets estuary and you will find the newly installed Pool House (which was not yet opened at the time of this editor’s visit) with a year-round heated pool and separate laissez-faire style restaurant – also catered by Caines himself – with croquet lawns, exquisite views and cocktails at sunset also available to locals to visit on a Lympstonehousemembership.

Lympstone Manor is a successful example of how a historic house can be elegantly rendered into 21st luxury hospitality and gives a glimpse of Caines vision for future projects.

A slice of barefoot luxury

Amari Raaya Maldives

By Sara Darling

In the fast-paced world of luxury travel, the Maldives has long been an insider’s go-to. Known for its seclusion, first-class hospitality and guaranteed sunshine that kisses the whiter-than-white sands, the overwater bungalows that hover suggestively aloft the azurewatershavecementedthemselvesonthevacaycalendarforagoodreason.Ican confirmthatthelatestofferingtotheIndianOceanticksallthoseboxes,resultinginan indulgentholidaytoremember.

Amari Raaya Maldives, which opened this summer, is located on one of the largest natural islands in Raa Atoll and is about as close as it gets to tropical bliss on Earth. Backed by luxury hospitality group Onyx, this is its second resort in the Maldives, and it continues its mission to create magical memories and unforgettable experiences for its guests. With attention to detail, starting from your welcome at Male’s Velana International Airport. Guests are met and transferred to a VIP Lounge, where they can refresh before the final leg of their journey- a 45-minute seaplane which will deposit theminEden.

The Resort

On the surface, there’s not much to do on thispristinecastawayisland,andthat’spart of the appeal for many. The Indian Ocean stretches to the horizon, perfectly flat, ending in a smudged line that joins with the mirrored turquoise of the sky. But mostly, it’s just the endless sea, and the resort has captured these natural surroundingsperfectly.

TheVillageSquareisthehuboftheresort’s activities. You can grab a coffee or afternoon tea or pick up some trinkets at the boutique. Although there are plenty of buggy stops around, I preferred to nip aboutonmyownwithacourtesybike.

The Rooms

The blue of the sky and sugar white sand was contrasted with the lush greenery which hugged the resort's pathways. My bungalow,incontrast,wasamodernsingle floor affair- an overwater villa which gave directaccesstotheocean.Thecrystal-clear waters allow for excellent visibility, making it a paradise for snorkelling, and it was the perfect spot for an early morning dip to explore the reefs and underwater world.It also had a large deck and plunge pool, which I took advantage of one day for my floating breakfast. A huge bed with crisp white sheets kept the style simple and fresh,andthelargerainwatershowerreally feltlikeIwasinthetropics.

This would have been perfect for romance (alas I was travelling alone), but there are family and adjoining bungalows availablewith187guestroomsandvillasintotal,yet eachofferingprivacy.

Dining

Eight dining options range from themed nights to beach barbecues to discreet dining under the stars; romantics will love the Clocktower experience, as the sky-high viewing point can be transformed at night intotheultimateromanticdinnerfortwo.

Elsewhere, you can enjoy a rotating menu at the buffet-style Amaya Food Gallery, book a table at the a la carte Ampers&nd, which specialises in Pan Asian cuisine, or check out the al fresco dining at Mediterranean-inspiredPregolino.

Foraspectacularsunsetdiningexperience, headovertoAmbers,arooftoploungeand bar that serves Asian wok and grill specialities alongside creatively crafted cocktails, accompanied by a DJ and other musical entertainment. Of course, there are plenty of child-friendly options at the SOAQpoolbarandVillageCafe.

Activities

Guests are invited to whizz about and exploretheselectionofbeachesbybikeor burn off some steam at the gym or yoga class. But if you’re not feeling so energetic, you can join an art session, which is a nod to the island’ser, portrait artist fictional foundSeb.

You can read the story of Seb, who was washed up on the island and made it his home,intheillustratedbookyouwillfindin your room. Each carefully curated event coincides with the island's geology, and as youexploretheisland, you’llfindoutmore about his life, including the Art and Crafts studio he built, the wreck of his ship he arrived on, and watchtowers he created as a lookout, which have been transformed intoprivatediningandstargazingspots.

Seb was clearly an adept fisherman, and guests can join boat trips for a number of water experiences including whale and turtle watching; there is also a dive school with a certified PADI instructor, or you can enjoy a more gentle paddle board, snorkel or kayak. I’m personally a fan of the hammocks which you can find sporadically swayingbetweenthepalmtrees,andthisis theplaceIwasmostlychannellingmyinner Seb!

What they don’t mention in the book, are the wellness facilities, which the Amari doesexceptionallywell.TheMaiiSpabrand isdesignedtototallyreleaseyourbodyand mind and offers a range of holistic and wellness experiences. With ten relaxing treatment rooms set in the natural surroundings, including rooms for couples, the Thai inspired treatments include aromatherapy, Ayurvedic and reflexology, deep-tissue, hot stone and sports massage. In the name of research, I tried out the House Special, which was truly divine.

Other treats for guests are an option to join the nightly sunset cruise, unlimited access to non-motorised water sports and acomplimentaryone-hourphotoshoot!

Verdict

I visited last month, and although I have visited the Maldives before, I was once again dazzled by the glistening sea and effervescent sands, which reach for miles, often without footprints. It’s no wonder that the brand has chosen a castaway character to epitomise this slice of paradise, and like him, you will make memorieswhileyou’rethere.
