Wonders of water
Coming to our blessed shores this Eid is the new unisex fragrance from Hermes, L’ambre des merveilles (roughly, “wonders of waters”), to be exclusively available at all Hermes stores mid-August across the UAE. Call 04-3308385.
Giorgio Armani for Bruce Wayne
Little over a week to go until The Dark Knight Rises and we can’t wait to take a peek at Bruce Wayne’s (Christian Bale) closet. We already know that all his fine suits, as well as some of those worn by the characters played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Michael Caine and Gary Oldman, have been outfitted by Mr Armani himself. Expect a lot of two-button suits in pinstripes and plaids in the maestro’s signature silhouette.
