Avatara is unlike any other restaurant in Dubai in countless ways‭. ‬This small‭, ‬unassuming spot nestled in Dubai Hills appears‭, ‬from the outside‭, ‬like your typical neighbourhood eatery‭, ‬but nothing could have prepared us for what was to come‭. ‬I have to admit‭, ‬dissimilarly to many Dubai foodies‭, ‬I knew very little about Avatara and its concept‭. ‬The restaurant is the world’s only Indian vegetarian restaurant to hold a Michelin star‭, ‬with a singular 17-course tasting menu for each guest‭. ‬They define‭ ‬themselves as‭ ‬“the reincarnation of soulful Indian food”‭, ‬utilising clean‭, ‬seasonal ingredients to produce something magical‭, ‬artistic‭, ‬and truly memorable‭.‬

For Jessica Chastain, luxury doesn’t need to announce itself. But it should still feel something.Speaking in Dubai during a brief interaction at The Dubai Mall, where she unveiled Italian jewellery house Damiani’s newly revamped boutique and its latest high jewellery collection Ode to Italy, the Oscar-winning actor reflected on her affinity for quiet, understated luxury, both on and off the red carpet.“Yes, it is something I gravitate towards, absolutely,” Chastain said. “I love an understated e

“This old thing? I’ve had it forever.” Never has the faux humble compliment bat-back been more frequently bandied about. Even now, at the peak of the January sales, on the cusp of pre-Ramadan shopping sprees, and with new season collections filtering into luxury boutiques, buying new feels at best 2012, and at worst 2023. Fashion fatigue has been filtering its way into the mainstream for years. Uncomfortable truths about landfill, luxury leathergoods prices soaring beyond their desirability, mindless consumption being eaten up by the experience economy; is 2026 the year we finally get the fashion—fast or otherwise—ick?
