on ourRADAR Givenchy Launches 9 Couture Eyeshadow Palettes

If the fashion shows announce the tone of the season, it’s the palettes that determine its colour... An all-over coral ensemble, a belted emerald jacket, a flowing lilac blouse... An abundance of striking colours! The spirit that has taken precedence on the catwalks the last few seasons is one of boldness, softened here and there by a certain refinement, a subdued seriousness... An inspired wardrobe with a strong character and sense of appeal, the meeting of pared-down style and a certain creative freedom. To complement this silhouette, Givenchy has developed a dual palette, echoing the Maison’s catwalk where straightlined silhouettes casually mingle with more opulent, fluid and floral ones. A strong duality that reflects the Givenchy woman’s desires, her state of mind...

LE 9 DE GIVENCHY

With Le 9, Givenchy offers the perfect combination of colours to enhance your gaze with shades that are both subtle and ultra-sophisticated. A perfectly balanced number... An elegant way to highlight your eyes. Beneath a lacquered black lid engraved with the iconic 4G emblem of the Maison Givenchy: nine shades in a raised stud shape, in four finishes (matte, satin, glittery and metallic). Deeply sensory textures for

lasting comfort and wear, a unique colour effect and an eye look defined by bold, ultra-pigmented shades. The innovative, incredibly smooth formula of Le 9 de Givenchy glides over the eyelid to deliver all the softness and richness of its colours. Easy to play with, to layer and blend, it’s guaranteed to last 12 hours without fading, flaking, or losing its intensity.

MIX & MATCH

Inside the case: bold combinations, on the verge of eccentric, where touches of striking and vibrant colours respond in chorus to more delicate and muted shades. This palette of shades, and all the options and possible combinations it offers, allows you to break away from the usual colour codes. And even to play with them. Designed to create three-by-three combinations, each of these eyeshadows can easily be paired with the others. To find the right combination, choose and mix together three colours in a straight vertical line, working from top to bottom, from bottom to top, or diagonally. “I have expertly colour curated the palettes with the boldest colours placed at the bottom of the case. Framed in this carefully considered way, they stand out even more and, all at once, become more legible and more accessible”, explains Nicolas Degennes. www.theciin.com

Available exclusively at Fabergé’s Harrods boutique from June, the pendant is a playful yet elegant piece for the young at heart. The Harrods Bear first made an appearance in Christmas 1986 and was a roaring success. Fabergé has perfectly captured the spirit of the Harrods Bear in this unique design. An 18k gold egg locket, hand lacquered in Harrods’ iconic green, opens at the touch of a shining emerald button to reveal the charming 18k gold Bear surprise. Fabergé has its very own history with Bears, albeit a little more mischievous. To know more, attached is the press release in English and Arabic along with the high resolution artist image of the pendant.

Berluti Introduces ‘Swing’ – Golf Shoes Reimagined Berluti debuts Swing, a brand new golf shoe that combines a shoemaker attitude with functional details and a strong Berluti DNA.

Its distinctive upper incorporates classic detailing and materials including nylon, Venezia leather and supple calfskin leather and is especially handcrafted like a refined sneaker to ensure ultimate comfort.

Three complementary versions of Swing are available, each of them meant for a different set of weather conditions on the green: The Technical features Nylon Gommato, a material developed for its sporty feel, suppleness and elegant matte appearance, decorated with a Scritto pattern. Complete with rubber and Venezia leather details, its water-repellent treatment makes it ideal for playing even on rainy days.

Rubeus Milano’s New Collector’s Edition Perfume

When haute perfumerie meets haute joaillerie: Rubeus Milano unveils a new collector’s edition perfume bottle – a glass bottle with a detachable jewellery cap, that can be worn by itself, as a brooch. The gold accessory is encrusted with prestigious diamonds with a total weight of 9.5 carats, enhanced with two tsavorites weighing 2 carats each and grand feu enamel on silver. In 2019, the brand’s introduced its first ever collector’s edition of a fragrance bottle – the precious Swan Lake. A graceful swan with diamond wings adorns the golden vial cap. The jewel can be removed from the cap and, using a special mechanism devised by the house’s artisans, attached to a brooch.

Featuring a striking display of trendy eyewear styles in a rich array of desirable colours, Swarovski’s Spring / Summer 2020 collection is an ode to the brilliance of the brand.

In 2020, Rubeus introduces an even more intricate design – two swans gently touch their elegant necks, creating a beautiful heart-shaped silhouette. 743 diamonds sit along a delicately curved surface, enhanced with an enamel finish. This piece, just like the previous one, can be removed from the perfume bottle and worn as a brooch.

With each piece highlighting Swarovski’s statement crystal-embellished designs inspired by the iconic jewellery collection, these frames exude elegance and sophistication and make for the perfect statement piece for the charming trendsetter.

SHAKERI 14

"An extraordinarily prodigious young cellist who is already taking the classical music world by storm."

We bring you the young and talented Shahrzad Shakeri - a PersianCanadian cellist who has performed in various solo recitals, chamber music ensembles, orchestras, and festivals across Europe, the Middle East and North America. Having lived in three different continents, each with diverse cultures, languages, and religions Shahrzad is all set to conquer the world with her music. She believes that music has the power to unite us despites all the differences. Read this exclusive interview with Shahrzad and know more about her and her music.

March, May, 2020 2020

www.theciin.com

Tell us about your education.

I started playing music professionally when I was eleven years old. After I graduated high school at the Tehran Conservatory, my passion for the cello led me to France, where I began pursuing my studies in cello performance. Although France held (and always will hold) a special place in my heart, I decided to move to Montreal to study with the virtuoso cellist Matt Haimovitz. It was equally as magical; I was presented opportunities I had only dreamed for, such as working with Matt Haimovitz on his album Philip Glass. I earned my masters degree there, at McGill University, in cello performance.

What are some of your best childhood memories?

Since I am an only child, I spent a lot of time around my extended family. One day, in Kindergarten class, my teacher asked me if I had any siblings. I remember telling her that I had many, and then I named all of my uncles and aunts. I didn’t understand why she was laughing at me; I really thought that they were my siblings!

Can you describe beginnings?

your

musical

When I was a child, I was shy and reserved – the complete opposite of who I am now. This perplexed my mother. She knew that there was some hidden fire in me, and that I just needed a different outlet of expression. She sent me to music classes when I was five years old. It turns out she was right. I became a different person once I got my hands on an instrument. At such a young age, I channeled all my energy into music. So much so, that in a

very short period of time, I made huge progress in music. My teacher was shocked and advised my parents to push me to become a professional musician for my future career. I am so glad she did, because music remained the closest thing to my soul ever since.

Who or what has been your biggest musical influence as a young musician? There are too many to name! But, some of my favorites are Daniil Shafran,Jaqueline Du pre, Lynn Harrel.

How did you end up playing the cello?

As a matter of fact, I was supposed to play violin when I first started at the conservatory! But on the first day of school, I noticed that the overwhelming majority of my class was playing violin and piano. The day of the audition (the day we had to choose which instrument we wanted to play), I coincidentally saw a girl playing the cello. I was mesmerized; I immediately fell in love with it. It felt like I no longer had a choice, like the cello chose me. I was not afraid to be the odd one out choosing the cello, and I have never doubted my decision ever since.

What does the cello mean to you?

Well, surely this is one of those questions for which you know the answer, but you just can’t describe. Cello means everything to me. And without it, I simply wouldn’t be me. Nothing can express my feelings better than my cello. My cello has been through everything with me, and has given me the best moments of my life.

Tell us about your family support?

I'm so lucky to have such a great family.They've been unconditionally supportive in the choices that i've made. They believe in me even when I don’t always believe in myself, so I am extremely grateful for them.

Could you talk to us about your experience with your teachers?

In music, teachers are not just teachers. They are your mentors, your support, your inspiration, and it is a very unique relationship. I have always been given fantastic opportunities to work with wellknown cellists and teachers at school, festivals and

May, 2020

masterclasses. Some of my favorite mentors have Philippe Muller, Jerome Pernoo, Matt Haimovitz, Raphael Pidoux, Johannes Moser, Richard Aaron, and Helene Dautry... I especially love how these amazing cellists are all different in their own way. I learn bits and pieces from all of them, and each of them opened a new door in my life.

What do you think makes the cello a special instrument?

The cello repertoire is very vast and provides, in my opinion, the most stunning solo pieces. It has a majestic deep, bass sound that touches my heart, but I could also play a higher register for a more melodious and sweet tone. The cello is truly an amazing instrument, capable of performing multiple musical roles. This versatility is the reason its rich tone has crept into almost every musical genre.

Do you intend to tell a story with your music?

Of course. Although some musicians prefer to be very exact and precise in playing, this is not how I am able to play. It is just impossible for me to separate my emotions and experiences when I play my cello. Every note I play expresses one of my feelings within the story. To me, stories are nothing without music.

What special preparations do you make before a performance?

There are many ways I prepare myself before a performance. Most importantly, I try to get good sleep the night before the performance. I also try to eat healthy foods that will give me energy, like bananas and dark chocolate. Lastly, an hour before the performance, I put my phone away to minimize distractions. If possible, I try to stay alone and meditate during that time.

What do you like to do when you are not playing the cello?

I adore photography and fashion. My mother is a professional photographer, so I love to design the sets, coordinate the outfits, and model. I am also fond of poetry, especially when I'm listening to my favorite songs on repeat. But at the end of the day, nothing beats getting pizza and drinks with my close friends.

Do you have any cello heroes?

Yes, many. However, the most influential cellist to me is Jaqueline Du Pre, no doubt.

What is your most memorable performance experience?

When I was fifteen, my closest friends and I decided to participate in a competition as a piano trio. Many sophisticated groups also participated, and we were one of the youngest groups. We played a contemporary piece that we only spent a month preparing for, and my solo started first. When I started to play, I felt like I was playing with a different cello. I got so distracted from my celloâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sound that I totally forgot I was performing in a competition. I was in a total daze, and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how, but my cello had its best sound ever. After the performance, my trio www.theciin.com

and I were so nervous waiting for the results. We held each other's hands so tightly, even though we had little hope that we would win since the other participants were older and more experienced. We ended up winning the competition. Now, whenever I feel intimidated, I look back on that amazing experience.

What musical projects are you currently working on?

I am moving to Toronto in September to work with my new chamber music group. We had plans to start working and touring in Canada, Europe, and the U.S. Unfortunately, that has all been postponed due to COVID-19. For now, I am working on my new repertoire. I hope to record it in September and make a music video for it shortly after.

What would you like to achieve further?

I would love to play with more chamber music ensembles. It’s always a great experience for me because I learn something new each time I work with a new group of people.

Now, tell us about where you live and what you like about the place?

I currently live in Montreal. I love it because I can get a little bit of everything here. Downtown is filled with skyscrapers, yet Old Montreal looks just like Europe. There’s a district for whatever mood I’m in.

What are some of your favourite hangout places where you live? It’s too hard to choose! I’m happy wherever there is a nice terrace.

Your message for us at CiiN.

I love how CiiN is a perfect mixture between the arts and style and showcases artists around the world. Thank you!

A CELEB FAVOURITE TIFFANY HARDWEAR

TIFFANY & CO ANNOUNCES A BOLD NEW JEWELRY COLLECTION

Tiffany & Co. announces Tiffany HardWear, a new jewelry collection that embodies the power and spirit of New York City and the energy of its streets. The collection name and designs draw inspiration from the urban soul of the city, where the modern rebel mixes high fashion with street style. Tiffany HardWear is as classic as it is edgy. Inspired by a unisex bracelet from 1971, the collection has been reimagined to include earrings, rings, necklaces and pendants, and goes perfectly with a leather jacket as it does with couture. The metal-intensive designs capture the industrialism of the city. The signature gauge links at the heart of this graphic collection reflect the clean, simple shapes of utilitarian hardware. A chain necklace in 18k gold features graduated links that shift in scale, with a clasp that seamlessly disappears into the piece. A reinterpretation of the original design is embellished with a detachable lock and ball for versatile styling. The unique bolt backing on a pair of triple drop earrings makes for a perfectly symmetrical design, as striking from the back as it is from the front. Tiffany is the internationally renowned jeweler founded in New York in 1837. Through its subsidiaries, Tiffany & Co. manufactures products and operates TIFFANY & CO. retail stores worldwide, and also engages in direct selling through Internet, catalog and business gift operations. For additional information, please visit Tiffany.com. TIFFANY & CO., T&CO., TIFFANY and HARDWEAR are trademarks of Tiffany and Company and its affiliates. www.theciin.com

Parrots just wanna have fun!

The Amazon parrots and their beauty, endangered by illegal trade and the shrinking of their habitat, inspire Benedetti life’s latest collection. This sustainable and animal free luxury fashion label was founded by the award-winning designer Matea Benedetti.

BAUME & MERCIER REVEALS THE LATEST HAMPTON COLLECTION Hampton, the iconic Baume & Mercier collection, pays tribute to Art Deco with the launch of a new contemporary collection

Introducing models for both men and women, the Hampton watch features a unique style emblematic of the Art Deco movement and is immediately distinctive for its unique design, expressed through a rectangular watch case. Today, the Hampton collection reveals new silhouettes and offers shapes that pay tribute to the world-renowned architectural movement of the 1920s. In the image of the great Art Deco trends of the day, the curves of the Hampton watch take precedence over right angles and give beauty to the light gliding on smooth surfaces. The diamond set dial in white mother-

of-pearl, opaline silver, and sunray satinpolished blue dials are all adorned with a delicate grey minute track. The watches are driven by a new- generation quartz movement with an optimised 7-year reliability. The dials, protected by a domed sapphire crystal, are adorned with contemporary Arabic numerals emphasized by riveted indexes and accentuated by sword-shaped hands. The men's timepieces come to life with the three-hand self-winding movements, of which the oscillating mass of the hour, minute and small seconds hands is decorated with the "CoĚ&#x201A;tes de GeneĚ&#x20AC;ve" design. www.theciin.com

The House of Givenchy Celebrates the Antigona Family of Bags Inspired by the heroine of Greek mythology, the Antigona embodies strength and authority. For Fall 2020, Givenchy presents the Antigona Soft, whose curvaceous lines have all the vitality and confidence of an embrace.

This Fall, Givenchy celebrates the 10th anniversary of its iconic Antigona handbag by unveiling the Antigona Soft, a supple, more relaxed version of its elder sister. Inspired by the heroine of Greek mythology, the now-classic Antigona, which debuted for Fall-Winter 2010, reinterpreted the House’s signature Boston shape and quickly became a House signature. Its architectural, rigid construction featured a tension between feminine and masculine allure — a duality that defines the Givenchy aesthetic. Today, this timeless modern style has grown into a full-fledged collection of accessories for women and men.

There’s a clear family resemblance in the Antigona Soft. Like its elder sister, it comes in the same colorways and is embellished with bold zippers and a distinctive pentagonal patch. Yet the Antigona Soft gamely plays on contradiction. Building on Givenchy duality, it offers a counterpoint to the original Antigona by blending sleek lines with suppleness. To the structured, graphic statement of a classic, the Antigona Soft replies with serene languor. Like a favorite leather coat, the Antigona Soft conveys a versatile, second-skin sensuality. Crafted in smooth calfskin, it tempers the Antigona’s signature architecture with a more fluid, androgynous appeal. Its subtle slouchiness speaks with the quiet confidence of an embrace, contrasting volume with purity of line. Inviting, enveloping straps allow the Antigona Soft to move seamlessly from day bag to weekender. Stylish and down-to-earth, the Antigona Soft comes in medium and large formats, with an ample central compartment featuring dual zip closures with signature bombé zip pulls, an inner pocket for storing cards, side straps with turnlock fastenings, two top handles, and a removable shoulder strap for versatility of wear. A scaled-down version likewise accommodates all the essentials, with a zipped compartment, a card pocket and an adjustable, removable strap to adapt to three styles of wear. Both the Antigona and the Antigona Soft come in timeless black, white, pearl gray, aubergine and midnight blue as well as a seasonal palette of candy pink, military

green and ice blue. Directional variations include styles in vintage leather with hand-placed studs; with embroidered, printed stripes; with a lustrous gradient gold metallic finish on black leather, and a version in woven cord and leather.

Retail prices: from 1,450 euros for the Antigona Soft and from 1,290 euros for the classic Antigona.

Must Have Items from Levi Levi’s® Reinvents The ‘80s With The Balloon for Spring/Summer 2020 For Spring/Summer 2020, Levi’s® embraces the “bigger is better” 1980s ethos with a brand new fit for women’s: the Levi’s® Balloon. With a high-rise waist, an exaggerated curved leg, and a subtle taper, the Balloon is a Levi’s® silhouette that perfectly blends the oversized aesthetic of the ‘80s with the contemporary styling of today. Available in four different fits, and a wide range of colors and fabrications, this new fit bridges the gap between fashion forward and classic style. First up is the cornerstone Balloon Jean, which features 12 1/4-inch rise and an ankle length hem, with a rounded and slightly tapered leg. Then, the ‘80s Balloon Leg, with a slight drop crotch and rounded, tapered leg. Next up, the Cool Pleated Balloon, which features a yoke detail, pleated waist, and a cropped ankle in cool-to-touch fabrication in denim and non-denim for the warmer months. And finally, the Pleated Balloon, which comes in stretch twill and features two pleats at the waist. “The inspiration is the balloon shaped jeans and pants of the late ’80s and early ‘90s, with a lot of emphasis on the waist. It’s tapered, but subtle, and with a slightly wider cuff. And worn with our puff sleeve tops tucked in, it gives a nice round-on-round silhouette.”— Jill Guenza, VP, Global Women’s Design at Levi’s® Styling wise, the Levi’s® Balloon is all about accentuating the waist. It can be worn with a slimmer top for a play on proportion that’s business on top, party on the bottom. Or, to really put emphasis on the waist, go round on round with an oversized top that’s worn tucked in. However it’s styled, the beauty of the Balloon Jean is that it invites experimentation and creativity. It’s contemporary Dadleisure taken to an ‘80s extreme, and then mixed up with a healthy dose of irreverent fun to create an instant Levi’s® classic.

Dreaming of Brighter Days with Nina Runsdorfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fanciful Selection Shades of the moon imbue Nina Runsdorfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collection for Fall of exquisite evening earrings, cocktails rings and briolette diamond necklaces. A departure from her colorful palette, these pieces reflect the glistening brilliance of the moon with soft touches of opalescent blue moonstone and organic grey diamonds. Hand selected organic grey diamonds create a tonal feeling with matching hues or juxtaposing shades of faceted diamonds. Outfitted with grey enamel, paired with rose gold, seductive earrings and necklaces evoke the romantic reflection of the moon dancing on the surface of water.

www.theciin.com

Nina Runsdorf â&#x20AC;&#x201C; COVID-19 Research & Response Letter I am a New Yorker. I was born in Manhattan and raised on a farm in upstate New York. My entire family, my late husband, children and I were all born at Mount Sinai Hospital. I feel profoundly lucky that my family and I are safe and healthy, I am grateful for this and recognize our privilege, but am struggling to sit still knowing that so many people in New York and worldwide, are not so lucky. I have spent time talking to family members and friends over the past few days, wondering how I can support the city I love and its people, and to keep my business moving forward in a way that helps. How do you do that when you sell a luxury product like fine jewelry? Like all of us, I find the new world rules of social distancing and staying at home necessary, but also challenging. While my beloved New York City is in lockdown, it is hard to bear witness to the advance of a virus that is taking many precious lives, whilst also pushing medical systems and health workers to their limits. As a citizen, a mother, a daughter and a business owner, I know that all we must and can do, is to stay safe and do whatever we can to help others. We are all in this together, no matter our origins, race or religion. Generosity is key in hard times. I know this and we have all seen it in the past few weeks, shared via email, on Instagram and in the news. So many beautiful stories that bring tears to our eyes and make us rethink how we should pave the way, inspire people to become beacons of light, encouraging others to do their parts too. May, 2020

I have been very touched by the countless individuals raising money for their local hospitals, food banks and care centers in the US and other parts of the world. Many of these have been in Italy, China and Spain, where we have all witnessed not only their suffering for the past few weeks, but also the exceptional resilience of their people. After talking with my team, I have decided to set myself the goal to try and raise 1M$ for my own local hospital, Mount Sinai to support the Research and Response against COVID-19. The hospital is gearing up to stay ahead of the pandemic surge, by getting everything from safety equipment, ventilators, PPE, and convalescent plasma program, all in order to support the surge of patients, which has grown to the point where they have had to create a temporary tent hospital in Central Park â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the lungs of New York City. In order to raise this much needed money, we will upload selections of our fine jewelry weekly on WhatsApp and on Instagram, with all profits from sales being donated to Mount Sinai. All sales from NinaRunsdorf.com will also go towards our effort to reach our target. I hope to appeal to those out there who have the means to purchase my beautiful pieces, made with the finest materials, handcrafted with care by master jewelers in New York City, at the same time as offering much needed funds to this healthcare establishment so deeply in need. Sending you all my love, may you be healthy and safe. Nina Runsdorf

Dalood affaire Words: JosĂŠ Berrocoso

Upon graduating from Central Saint Martins, Tbilisi native Maka Kvitsiani relocated to Moscow to open up a boutique that championed newcomer Georgian designers. In 2014, Maka turned to design herself and joined her mother at Dalood, their decades-old RTW label with an experienced team of professionals valued for masterful tailoring and impeccable craftsmanship. With Maka at the helm as creative director, tailoring is key to Daloodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strong and daring pieces that embody understated sophistication.

Daloodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s SS 2020 collection brings us closer to summer and is smudged all over with romance. The beautiful bright colors bring back our summer memories and playing like a lovely chorus line from our favorite summer tune, somewhere in a beautiful outdoor restaurant on an island of Capri, where we get carried away with our solo dance in the sunset, holding a glass of a fine white wine. Flowy satin see-through buttoned-down baby blue dress brings us so close that we almost feel the ocean breeze on our skin. The sense of individuality, the serenity and effortlessness of the collection cannot be left unnoticed. Transforming signature strict slim fit suit shapes into more girly and lighter looks with only using bright pink or blue colors was certainly a brilliant idea and a successful attempt. And adding an extra flavor and more playfulness to the collection with white floral shaped shirt and a pink satin wide leg shorts.

Fabergé Spotlights May’s Birthstone,

Emerald

108

Fabergé is celebrating emeralds, the birthstone of May, by charting their use within the Maison’s collections for over a century. Rare and beautiful, emerald’s spectrum of remarkable green hues is celebrated in all their glory within Fabergé’s collections of jewellery, timepieces and objet d’art. Emeralds have long been considered a symbol of hope and are reputed to encourage growth, reflection, peace and balance. Often referred to as ‘The Jewel of Kings’, emeralds represent the soul of spring and herald the notion of renewal and rebirth, which make them the perfect birthstone for May. Coloured gemstones form a vibrant part of Fabergé’s rich heritage, with prominent emerald creations dating back to 1899 (above left) - signalling the start of the Maison’s love affair with these rare gemstones. One of Fabergé’s most iconic early emerald commissions was a collier d’esclave necklace for Empress Alexandra Feodorovna to wear to the February 1903 Bal des Costumes Russes, staged at the Winter Palace in Saint Petersburg (above right). Today, Fabergé continues to champion ‘a life in colour’ with

their contemporary jewellery creations featuring a kaleidoscope of coloured gemstones, including an abundance of stunning emeralds. The Empress Suite is a show-stopping example of Fabergé’s ability to paint with these marvellous gemstones. Each emerald within the suite has been sourced with care from Gemfields - a world-leading supplier of responsibly sourced, coloured gemstones - from their Kagem mine in Zambia. These treasured emeralds, which are at least 500 million years old, hold a value far more than their visual beauty as the wearer knows that by investing in a Gemfields emerald, you are also supporting long term positive impact for the local communities and conservation projects, national economy and environment in a transparent and sustainable way. Set in 18k white gold, each piece in the Empress suite features large sugarloaf cut emeralds surrounded by white diamonds. Each emerald features Gübelin Gem Lab’s emerald paternity test. This patented technology uses DNA-based nanolabels allowing traceability of gems back to the mine of origin, thereby instilling consumer confidence and creating trust.

Hotel The Craftsmen opens doors in Amsterdam Luxury and history meet in ingenious design Amsterdam, Netherlands

After a year of extensive renovations, a landmark 17th Century building on one of Amsterdamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oldest canals has reopened its doors as Hotel The Craftsmen. The 14-room boutique hotel celebrates historical Dutch crafts with cleverly designed themed rooms. A stay at Hotel The Craftsman offers the luxury and comfort of a boutique hotel, combined with a unique design, rich history, and craftsmanship. Spread over three historical properties, the hotel offers fourteen distinct and well-appointed rooms. Each room is given the name of the various craftsmen, such as the Boat Builders Signature Suite, The Instrument Makers Single Room, and the Bike Builders Deluxe Double Room. Together, the three buildings are listed as a national monument dating from 1652. During the extensive redesign, authentic elements were either preserved or meticulously restored. Any new design elements respect the distinct historical character and charm and pay homage to the hotelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name. Period delft blue tiles, bedsteads, monumental floors, and the original staircase pair perfectly with beautiful antiques, vintage finds, modern materials, and clever reuse of craft related items the designers introduced to offer the comfort of today.

www.theciin.com

To achieve this, the owners turned to artist Stef van de Bijl, who brought in more local craftsmen such as illustrator Aart Taminiau and steel designer Joram Barbiers. Together, they implemented original and imaginative design elements for which they often repurposed vintage materials befitting the theme. With their collective expertise and craftsmanship, they have given antiques and curiosa a contemporary and practical function within the hotel. Amongst the unique elements are an old canoe serving as a ceiling lamp, a wardrobe made with the emergency exit door of a Fokker F28 jet airliner, and reclaimed aluminum shoe-stretchers from the 1940â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting a second chance in life as wall mounted reading lights. Every corner, nook, and cranny offers another design surprise.

129

True craftsmanship meets alluring design Twelve of the fourteen hotel rooms boast impressive views of the Amsterdam canals. The other two are located in the back of the hotel and overlook the vibrant Lijnbaanssteeg alley. Each room has its own unique design, representing a craft while respecting the historical context of the building.

131 Boutique experience

To offer guests the luxury and comfort they can expect, the hotel offers exquisite baths, Dyson hairdryers, comfortable beds, and carefully selected amenities, Hotel The Craftsmen ensures the best possible and most personal hotel experience. The breakfast served in the art-filled gallery overlooking the canal offers an extensive selection of freshly baked bread and pastries. Guests can further enjoy fresh cold cuts, fruit, fresh juices, teas, and any coffee they like. Furthermore, they can order eggs in any style or try warm Dutch traditional Poffertjes. These are “Dutch pancakes” that are fast becoming the guests’ favorite. Breakfast is hosted by the hotels' ambassadors. The ambassadors are the core of the hotel. They are the guests’ beck and are the hosts, receptionists, concierge and other staff there to make sure all guests feel welcome and are comfortable. The ambassadors are in the know of goto spots and can provide tips and tailored recommendations for their stay in vibrant and stunning Amsterdam.

Dutch national heritage

The impressive canal houses at the Singel share a rich history. Roelof Swaen, deputy to legendary Dutch sea admiral Michiel de Ruyter, constructed the oldest of the three buildings in 1652. His ‘Huis de Swaen’

(The Swan) was initially a ferry house but turned into a hotel in the nineteenth century. An original stone plaque on the sidewall of the building, shows a swan, referring to its historical name today, In 1917, an Amsterdam local man with the name Brouwer bought Huis de Swaen and opened his Hotel, aptly called Hotel Brouwer. Exactly 100 years later, the Brouwer heirs sold it to the current owners, the Zandbergen family.

Redevelopment

The Zandbergen family took on the challenging task of turning the national monument into a luxurious boutique hotel. Challenging is an understatement, as the original 17th-century architecture had to remain intact in accordance with the requirements of Amsterdam’s monument care. They also stipulated that in some places in the hotel, the original features or elements had to be brought back. These can now be admired by guests staying at the hotel. Some of these include authentic bedsteads, a so-called ‘Keulse goot’ (a 17th-century indoor gutter), and Delft Blue tiles. The rich history is also reflected in the monumental staircase, the exposed beams and eaves, the original wooden floors, and the intimate and narrow hallways. For Michelle Zandbergen, daughter of the Zandbergen family and responsible for the day-to-day operation of Hotel May, 2020

The Craftsmen, it is important that the historical value of the hotel and the unique location are represented in every nook and cranny of the hotel. A “ msterdam has a wonderful history of craftsmanship, we want to bring that cultural heritage to life by not only creating a beautiful hotel but also by letting the guests touch and feel the craftsmanship that is behind it. To achieve that we have combined the raw, authentic crafts that define this city with a modern, luxury boutique experience.”

Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort: an exceptional dip in a Magical Place

137

Luxury, calm and exquisite refinement under the Monaco sun. In the early 2000s, the development of tourism and the attractiveness of the Principality led the Monte-Carlo SociĂŠtĂŠ des Bains de Mer Group to increase its hotel capacity. Avant-garde and keen to preserve its reputation for excellence, the brand imagined a hotel concept new to Monaco, remaining within the codes of Mediterranean palaces with neo-classical architecture featuring arches and colonnades. In 2005, a new sumptuous establishment rose from the sea: the Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort.

www.montecarlosbm.com May, 2020

138

A unique development in Europe, a sandy-bottomed lagoon meanders through the hotel gardens. This exceptional lagoon winds through terraces, waterfalls, kiosks and green islets. The latter, designed by famous landscape architect Jean Mus, are an invitation to relaxation. Surrounding the lagoon, up to 1,500 plants of different species and varieties indigenous to exotic environments thrive. Four influences permeate the scene: Mediterranean, with olive trees and cypresses, tropical with palm trees, Italian with orange trees sublimated by terra cotta and finally Mexican with cacti blended with the rockery. The meticulous selection of plants, flowers and shrubs was guided by a quest for harmony of colours, foliage and texture, but also by the marriage of scents. At the heart of this peaceful haven created to resemble a private residence, every detail is directed to the awakening and exaltation of the senses. The smell of jasmine impregnates the terraces and solariums, heightening moments of peace and tranquillity. Beneath its glass cupola, on the edge of the pool, which is heated to 29ÂşC, waterfalls and their sweet music create an enchanting mood amongst the orange, lemon and mandarin trees, which arouse the taste buds. Not to mention ornamental plants called 'birds of paradise', flowering throughout the winter, extending the pleasure of the eyes. The latter is decorated with three small wooden bridges that straddle the terraces. The arched shape of these footbridges and their rails was inspired by Japanese bridges; in association with the abundant vegetation, the setting might be compared to the Mediterranean 'water gardens' to be found in masterpieces by Claude Monet. Other influences also blend into the landscape. The polygonal gazebos are redolent of Oriental dĂŠcors, shading the jacuzzi or acting as a garden pavilion nestled between two bridges.

www.theciin.com

Monte Carlo Bay Hotel & Resortâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s architectural exploit deserves to be praised as it includes 334 rooms and 22 suites, and is both a holiday destination as well as a conference centre. The unique and timeless, modern interior design created by Pierre-Yves Rochon features minimalist lines with captivating and bright Riviera colours. Breaking away from the exterior style and the three towers each with 11 floors, the architect has subtly worked with the volumes and perspectives, creating a harmonious vision and bright, comfortable, intimate and convivial spaces. The atmosphere is simultaneously welcoming, warm and contemporary. With its three restaurants headed by the Michelin-starred chef Marcel Ravin, the Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort has a diverse gastronomic offering to suit all tastes. Depending on your mood: Las Brisas for seasonal bistronomy reinventing world cuisine, Lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Orange Verte for food on the go, or a unique meal at the Michelin-stared Blue Bay, where gourmet food lovers can opt to take a seat at La Table de Marcel, a table with a view of the kitchen, for a unique sensorial experience.

Where To Stay...

Where To Eat... FAIZA

Hyatt Regency Bishkek

The hotel is one of The better properties in Bishkek, facilities not very impressive as the rooms felt old with TV hanging off a side wall, breakfast could be better for the price you pay. The staff could be trained better in terms of execution. I’m a platinum on Marriott rewards and just started trying out Hyatt.

A large, traditional Kyrgyz restaurant, split over two adjoining buildings, Faiza is great value place packed full of locals where you can enjoy high quality favourites like Laghman, Pelmini, Manti, Shorpo, Borscht, etc. Their impressive shashlik is all cooked over a wood burner.

BUKHARA Plaza Hotel Bishkek In a leafy area and across the street from Spartak Stadium, this polished hotel is 13 minutes' walk from the central Ala-Too Square and 29 km from Manas International Airport. Featuring cushioned headboards, city views and floorto-ceiling windows, the warm rooms come with WiFi access, flat-screen TVs, minifridges, and tea and coffeemakers.

140

Ambassador Hotel

This informal hotel is a 15-minute walk from the State History Museum, 3 km from shopping at the Osh Bazaar and 7 km from sporting events at the Gorodskoi Katok ice rink. Warmly decorated rooms come with free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs and minibars, along with tea and coffeemaking facilities. Most have balconies, and upgraded quarters offer sitting areas.

Garden Hotel, Bishkek On a leafy street, this laid-back hotel is a 9-minute walk from the nearest bus stop, 4 km from historic Ala-Too Square and 30 km from Pik Semyonov mountain. Relaxed rooms provide free Wi-Fi, flat-screens, minifridges, and tea and coffeemaking facilities. Upgraded rooms add sitting areas. Suites have separate living rooms. In-room dining and massages are offered.

Another great shout for Kyrgyz and Central Asian cuisine in general, plus a few internationally inclined dishes. This place is more upmarket than Faiza, with prices to reflect this, although it’s still reasonable. It’s an attractive place, with Central Asian textiles, tiles and crafts on display and a nice outdoor terrace.

PUR:PUR

Stepping into Pur Pur is like travelling back in time. With The Ink Spots and Charleston Chasers serenading you, traditional lampshades emitting soft light and bookcases full of old suitcases, you’d be forgiven for thinking you were in an antique shop. But Georgian cuisine is on the menu here, and it’s as delightful as the surroundings. Aubergine and walnut paste wrappers, succulent dolma and a clay pot of aromatic lobio entertained our tastebuds to start. On our first visit Beef Ojahuri followed, on our last night Lamb Ribs Pur Pur, all washed down with a nice bottle of red.

VINOTEKA Strolling past this place, all soft lighting and wood, our curiosity was immediately piqued. The name, complete with corkscrew opener for a ‘T’, left no doubt to what could be expected inside. Jamon Iberico brochettes, a cheese platter, prosciutto and rocket pizza, all washed down with a carafe of Rioja. I was in heaven.

CHILI PEPPERS We were actually on our way to Taksim Cafe when we walked past Chili Peppers, Frida Kahlo and a mariachi man beckoning us in. The promise of guacamole made us stay and it was so yummy we ordered a second round. Complimentary nachos and salsa accompanied our burritos, my asado pork pipping Del’s veggie feast in the taste test.

What To Do... Sleep in a Yurt

Watch Salbaruun

Yurts are the epitome of nomadic life and no trip to Kyrgyzstan would be complete without spending at least one night amidst the cosy felt surroundings of a traditional yurt. Over the summer months many yurt camps are set up in convenient places for tourists to stay including the south shore of IssykKul lake, Song-Kul and Jyrgalan and along many of the popular hiking routes. If you fancy getting more off the beaten path you can head off to some of the less frequented hiking areas and find yourself some actual shepherds living in their yurts over the summer months.

This is the name for traditional eagle hunting in Kyrgyzstan. Salbaruun is still very much a living tradition and eagles are trained throughout the country to chase and hunt prey. The World Nomad Games was a huge gathering of eagle hunters from all over Central Asia and was an amazing spectacle. If you want to arrange to watch a demonstration and take photos of these amazing animals you can get in touch with Destination South Shore who can contact the local Salbaruun club.

Visit the Magical Fairytale Canyon

Discover Dungan Culture in Karakol

Always wanted to see what it’s like on Mars? A trip to Skazka canyon on the south shore of Lake IssykKul will have you feeling pretty close. The incredible valley of red sandstone rocks shaped by the elements in all kinds of hills and valleys. There are areas with ripples of orange, red, yellow and even purple sands layered together. This is a stunning place to stop and visit and is particularly breathtaking at sunset. You can take a taxi there from the nearby town of Bokonbaevo or ask a marshrutka leaving from Karakol to stop on the way past.

Dungans are a group of ethnic Chinese muslims who first migrated to Kyrgyzstan in the 19th century. This unique blend of Islam and Chinese culture makes for some amazing cuisine and architecture. The Dungan Mosque in Karakol resembles a Chinese temple and even has dragon heads carved into the corners. Besides Ashlan-fu you can also enjoy a trip to the Dungan museum followed by an overly indulgent 8 course meal in a local Dungan village. The mosque is open from 8am everyday and is free to enter. The dinner can be organised through Destination Karakol office and costs 1400som per person.

ONE WORLD: TOGETHER AT HOME GLOBAL CITIZEN, TOGETHER WITH LADY GAGA, ANNOUNCED $127 MILLION IN COMMITMENTS TO DATE IN SUPPORT OF HEALTHCARE WORKERS IN THE FIGHT AGAINST THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC International advocacy organization Global Citizen, together with Lady Gaga, tonight announced $127 million in commitments to date in support of healthcare workers in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. Corporate partners and philanthropists announced their support for the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund for the World Health Organization, powered by the UN Foundation, during the One World: Together At Home global broadcast event. Donations to the fund will support WHO’s work around the world, the vaccine development alliance Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) and UNICEF. The Together At Home effort will also aid over 100 additional local and regional charities that will also receive funds, including Education Cannot Wait, Direct Care, Feeding America and United Way, among others.

PISCES

Your personal focus is like a razor’s edge this month of May 2020. Family responsibilities and involvement may take you away from your personal desires and plans. Don’t struggle with the challenges or try to escape the duties. You are actually at a point in which you can release some old childhood memory or limitation. Sitting with patience with family issues can bring true release by late June. Keep those personal goals as dreams. The moment will come when you can forge ahead – you know, like you always do.

After the 18th of May 2020, you will have a chance to journey backwards. At first, it may seem like your drive has become like milk-toast. It is, however, the reverse. You indeed will have entered a sort of Alice-in-Wonderland kind of experience. And like Alice, you may go it alone. There will be questions. Should I take the blue pill or the red pill? Should I follow the white rabbit or stand in place? By late June, you will simply come to realize, like Alice, that mind power is only as vast as your imagination and adaptability.

This is indeed your birthday month and this means that not only do you celebrate a special day but a special month all month long. The planetary positions now bring promises for the year ahead. Awareness is your keyword for this upcoming year. People and circumstances enter your life now that open you up to new experiences in relating. That means your relationships take on new meaning. This would be all kinds of relationships: intimate, friendship, family and the world at-large. Travel is certainly amped up for you and there is much learning to be gained from those travels.

144

If no one was watching and you knew that you would not be judged, would you let your hair down and play? Why not dedicate this month to doing just that – playing? The energies are right for the experience and you will find playmates. They may come as new friends, confidants or a new lover. Reach out for the experience and regain that youthful glow. As a side note: late in the month, resources will be made available to you. Go ahead and make your want list now.

Is it your money, my money or our money? That question is spinning in your gray matter. Because dollars are often used as a mental stimulus for you, that question bears no threat. Rather it promises a new way of looking at resources and how to use them. Try something different this May 2020 with money. Close your eyes and try to ‘feel’ for your answers. This means you don’t think your way through, you feel your way through. Who knows, you may come up with a new way of making decisions.

It may not be clear at the moment but your actions are setting you up for career success. Keep your network connections active even though they may look like they are dragging. Wherever you encounter challenges, know that they will turn toward fortune in some basic way. Be sure to contact authority figures after the 10th of May . The more contacts that are made the greater the pay-off. Your partners bring in rewards and gifts to you now. Be sure to express your gratitude in a very special way.

It may seem that life resembles a boulder blocking the mouth of a cave. That would be a cave that is holding you prisoner. This is a good time to do an assessment of the past months. Check off the events. What wisdom have you gained during this time? What are the new responsibilities that you have gained mastery over? Yes, life may continue to be heavy like a boulder but remind yourself often that you are in this world but not of it. The wisdom you have gained now are tickets to holding yourself upright, bold and regal while saying, ‘I AM.’ Congratulations.

Seek out a guru this month of May 2020. You will recognize them as he or she will have considerable dignity and psychological strength. They will have a clear understanding of responsibility that mirrors your own. You will find a level of friendship here that calls out to the inner child in you. In turn, this connection will allow you to play the guru role for someone younger or less experienced than yourself. Before the month is over, take a break; even a rock benefits from a change of scenery every once in a while.

There is uniqueness in friendships this month. Reconnect with old friends and be open to the cultivation of new friendships. Don’t pick and choose. Rather stay open and let others pick and choose you. You may pull in some questionable characters. But they come as teachers even though they aren’t aware of their role. Additionally, open up to group activities. You may find yourself acting as a leader. Use the golden rule now. Love unconditionally and remember, to feel loved you must love. You will receive accolades from those you do love.

The river of life continues to move in uncertain rhythms and tides. Along with those uncertainties lie frustrations and puzzlement, perhaps to the point of tears. How unlike you, Dear Aquarius. There must be some divine message in these experiences. If you would give yourself permission to be sensitive, soft, transparent, clairvoyant, slightly confused, emotionally vulnerable and receptive, you would take a quantum leap into a new world. Once you are there you can lead others to new freedoms. Isn’t that what your life is all about?

Ask any artist how to paint and they will tell you first to back away from the canvas and second to find your perspective point. Your perspective point is now found in backing away from the everyday grind and having good old down-home philosophical discussions with many people. Be sure to choose to talk with some experts. You can’t learn too much now, see too much or travel too far. Your mind is like a central switchboard until June. You are on a quest for truth. What you find are the colors and hues that fill your life canvas. Nice.

Can you hum that tune, ‘On a Clear Day You Can See Forever’? This is the tune you should hum all month. The image for you during May 2020 is a ride in a hot air balloon over a calm sea of water. Don’t do any complaining, moaning or groaning. Instead count your blessings, for indeed you are in planetary graces. And those graces set you free. They allow you to be extraordinarily creative and vastly intuitive. So be honest. Do you really have anything to complain about? Not-Ta!
