THE LUXELIVING

PERSPECTIVE

A perspective

without borders

Creations, places and people that broaden our horizons.

Art, cars, architecture and destinations open this third edition. Its connecting thread is a

curiosity that crosses disciplines: discovering the craftsmanship behind a creation and

making time for the people and places that give it meaning.

STYLE · PERFUMERY

Shumukh · Perfume as a creation

Shumukh brings perfumery, jewellery and

decorative arts together in a creation by The

Spirit of Dubai. The complete bottle reveals a

vessel integral to the experience, alongside the

fragrance within. The brand presents seven

motifs associated with Dubai, including falconry,

the Arabian horse, the rose and hospitality.

Precious metals, stones and miniature figures tell

a story of place. Fragrance notes include amber,

sandalwood, musk and Turkish rose. Visual

contemplation and scent offer two approaches:

one through the eye, the other through skin and

time.

An object tells a story

too.

Abu Dhabi · Horizon and memory

Abu Dhabi unfolds between a coastal landscape

and architecture ranging from monumental scale

to places of contemplation. Light transforms

surfaces in a city connecting cultural exploration

with waterside walks. This edition presents

buildings, open spaces and urban moments,

considering their relationships and the time

given to each.

For business travellers, a stay can also become a

dialogue with local culture. Exploring the city

adds depth to meetings and understanding of

the place where new relationships develop.

The luxury of your own pace

Etihad Towers, the mosque's scale and the museum's landscape offer contrasting

experiences. Combining architecture, walks and waterside time allows a more personal

exploration of the city.

MOTORING · SPECTRE AND

PHANTOM

Rolls-Royce · Silence with character

Spectre opened a new chapter for Rolls-Royce.

Unveiled in October 2022, with first deliveries

scheduled for the final quarter of 2023, it was

the marque's first fully electric car. Technical

transformation coexists with a familiar identity:

serene presence, broad surfaces and meticulous

cabin detail.

The car becomes a personal space where light,

texture and proportion accompany travel. This

archive sequence connects Spectre with

Phantom and their design details. Grille,

materials and interior arrangement reveal

continuity across models and eras. A creation

retains its character when its language remains

meaningful as technology changes.

HISTORY · PEOPLE AND CRAFT

Rolls and Royce · The origins of a

standard

A great marque can begin with complementary

perspectives. Charles Rolls contributed his

interest in mobility and ability to connect with

the public; Henry Royce brought engineering

grounded in precision and continuous

improvement. Their partnership explains an

identity enduring over time. A commercial

promise needs a product able to sustain it;

technical achievement needs a place in its

users' lives. Archive portraits and scenes focus

on the people, early cars and gestures of an

era when travel was taking on a new scale.

Craftsmanship's legacy endures through the

relationship between original principles and

later interpretations.

A culture of detail

In a well-resolved creation, every decision connects with the others. A component's

precision, a material's feel and the clarity of a proportion belong to one experience.

HISTORY · ROLLS AND

Two names, one vision

1904 · THE BEGINNING OF A SHARED HISTORY

Charles Rolls and Henry Royce met in Manchester in 1904, bringing

together complementary strengths: Rolls' commercial and sporting

experience and Royce's engineering expertise.

The historic car reveals the beginnings of that partnership. Its

simple forms draw attention to construction, mechanics and a

particular understanding of travel.

Objects preserve a brand's memory: bodywork, a wheel or an

emblem can connect its early craftsmanship with later

interpretations.

An entrepreneurial spirit and a passion for the

motor car.

FASHION · SPRING-SUMMER 2025

Prada · The value of the

unexpected

Prada's spring-summer 2025 collection sets

individuality against the logic of algorithms.

Elements from different eras meet in

combinations where contradiction becomes

expression. Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons offer

multiple images rather than one answer.

Personal choice and creativity introduce what a

sequence of instructions cannot anticipate. Our

reading focuses on the freedom to create a

presence of one's own: style can emerge

through unexpected relationships between

clothes, memories and gestures.

ART · VISUAL CULTURE

Andy Warhol · A new way of seeing

the everyday

Andy Warhol transformed familiar images of

everyday life into a language that changed

the relationship between art and popular

culture. Face, object and repetition gained a

new presence within the artwork. Familiarity

can begin a more complex reading: colour and

scale alter what we think we know and open a

discussion about seeing. The archive connects

Warhol with this edition's artistic world,

introducing creative languages ranging from

shared visual culture to personal expressions

of surface and colour.

The portrait becomes an icon

Gold Marilyn Monroe places a familiar image within a broad field of gold. The distance

between the face and its surrounding surface invites reflection on how a portrait

changes when it becomes a symbol.

EXECUTION

Campbell's Soup Cans

comprises thirty-two

canvases, making repetition

an essential part of the work.

Each label represents a soup

variety. A small difference

changes the reading of an

apparently uniform image.

Despite their industrial

appearance, the paintings were

made by hand. This tension

between process and image

sustains the series' appeal.

ART · COSMIC X

Jack Armstrong · The art of

breaking boundaries

Colour occupies space with intensity in Jack

Armstrong's work. Marks, layers and contrasts

invite changing viewing distances: the whole

conveys energy, while details reveal other paths.

Cosmic X is the artist's name for this language.

Painting retains its identity across different

surfaces and ways of viewing. An initial visual

affinity deepens with time. This selection

combines works with personal archive scenes

accompanying the feature, moving between the

paintings' world and the human story while

keeping the art central. Individuality emerges

through continuity between a way of creating and

a way of seeing.

Colour. Gesture. Freedom.

Art beyond the canvas

Creation finds new surfaces and forms.

Jack Armstrong with Cosmic Starship Harley-Davidson. Painting extends onto an object with volume and

movement.

Working on a three-dimensional surface changes how a work is read. Each angle creates another

relationship between form, colour and light. The object retains its identity while becoming an expressive

surface.

A three-dimensional piece

reveals itself as we walk

around it. Light and colour

offer a different reading from

every angle.

Painting interacts with curves,

components and materials. The

gesture must retain its force

flat.

The object keeps its

recognisable identity while
