Blue is the coolest colour
Versace’s Dylan Blue fragrance comes with its own bath and body line. It’s a fougere fragrance, meaning it’s from a blend that’s woody and herb-y. According to designer Donatella Versace, it’s been made completely fresh “for today and tomorrow”.
“Dylan Blue is the essence of the Versace man today. It’s a fragrance full of character and individuality, an expression of a man’s strength and also his charisma. I love how it takes traditional notes and scents and makes them totally modern.”
Rising model Trevor Signorino fronts the campaign. Prices range from Dh155 for the shower gel to Dh529 for the eau de toilette spray. Now available at Paris Gallery. Call 04-3308289.

All about that size
Designer Jonathan Anderson’s vision for Loewe is all about the juxtaposition of scales. Exemplified in the label’s lookbook for autumn-winter, you have giant army satchels and bags, silhouetted against natural formations. It’s dreamily shot by Steven Meisel whose Wes Anderson sensibility is spot on.
