latest Marguerite watch by Christophe Claret to the latest fine jewellery collection from La Marquise, here are the top fashion launches of the week.
Did you say J. Crew?
If you were to list the best fashion-forward, high-end yet affordable American retail brands, J. Crew would be at the top. Unfortunately, the clothing label isn’t available at stores in the UAE, but it has just teamed up with Net-a-Porter, with a capsule autumn/winter collection. Shop the striped sweaters, cotton shirt-dresses and contemporary coat styles, with express worldwide shipping.
• Available at www.netaporter.com; from Dh275
Make a statement
The latest Marguerite watch by Christophe Claret is a statement wrist piece. Hues of royal blue, coupled with daisy motifs and a hidden message on the back of the watch (“He loves me…he loves me not”) give it a feminine, romantic charm.
• Available at Seddiqi & Sons, Dubai Mall; from Dh289,800
Truly tantalising
Rare and highly sought after, with glorious shades of royal blue and purple, tanzanites are only found deep in the mountains of one country in the world: Tanzania. The latest fine jewellery collection from La Marquise features diamond rings, pendants and earrings punctuated with magnificent tanzanite stones.
• Available at La Marquise boutiques across the UAE; from Dh3,600
Hop, slip and a jump
Thanks to Gucci, the slipper is a key shoe silhouette this season. Do without the fur, and the hefty price tag of designer versions, and opt for these Steve Madden designs, available in cream, black, blue and metallic suede. Style them with sleek, tailored pieces or jeans.
• Available at Steve Madden stores across the UAE; from Dh269
Beauty booster
Neutrogena has launched its Hydro Boost range, which features moisturisers, cleansers, cleansing wipes and micellar water (with tiny balls of cleansing oil molecules). Key ingredients include hyaluronic acid, which helps keep the skin soft, smooth and hydrated.
• Available at supermarkets and pharmacies across the UAE; from Dh36
