From London to Dubai
Burberry’s travelling exhibition The Cape Reimagined is now open in Dubai. The presentation – on until May 7 – includes limited-edition versions of the classic Burberry cape. Each one has been handmade, taking inspiration and techniques from the Burberry archive. The capes, which were first displayed in London, have been travelling the world since February with Dubai being the last stop on the five-location tour. See it from 10am-8pm at Concrete, Alserkal Avenue.

Model swim-spiration
Model-turned-designer Rosie Huntington Whiteley has unveiled a new swimwear collection for Marks & Spencer. The British model, who is about to have a baby (we think this shoot was done a while ago), revealed the 24-piece beach and swimwear collection, in stores now. The range includes bikinis, one-piece swimsuits and throw-on cover ups and kaftans in bold prints and flattering summer colours. What will she do next?
