official bespoke Magazine - December 2018 - January 2019

In this issue

This is the one we train for all year: a highly curated rundown of the very best in business, architecture, style, travel and vehicles. There’s a lot to choose from, but we’ve set our sights on people like Rami Malek, who stars in the Queen biopic ‘Bohemian Rhapsody, and The Modist founder Ghizlan Guenez, who’s turning the online retail fashion game on its head both in the Middle East and, surprisingly, in the United States too. And despite all the talk about modernising Saudi Arabia, we dig deep into its past with a visit to the Louvre Abhu Dhabi’s latest exhibition, 'Roads of Arabia: Archaeological Treasures of Saudi Arabia', right before showing you why you should be collecting Ellen von Unwerth’s alluring photography. Then, we bring you the latest and greatest in fashion and accessories, including Beyonce’s beloved Egyptian handbag brand, Okhtein and a born-again Breitling watch, before meeting Lebanese designer Jessica K, the star of our latest Speak Up video and a force to be reckoned with. We wash it all down with some pretty spectacular vehicles, including the new Audi Q8. It’s an issue you definitely don’t want to miss.

official bespoke Magazine Description:

Once upon a time we began as a boutique publisher with a signature title – Bespoke. In the twelve years since then we have developed and grown to become a fully-fledged multimedia company under the name Official Bespoke, boasting a digital platform, coffee table books and the most widely circulated bi-monthly lifestyle magazine in the Middle East.

If you are curious, believe in a glass half full, enjoy the finer things in life and are hungry for unique and original stories, chances are we’ve got you covered with our updates on Twitter, our daily dose of visual escapism on Instagram, our rich and diverse programming on Facebook and YouTube, and of course our award-winning magazine, which exemplifies our mission to publish stories that are luxurious in nature but also highlight engaging personalities, products and places that leave a lasting impression of the Arab world, and best represent our values and successes to the rest of the globe.

We ask that you put your feet up, turn off the noise, check out of your normal news cycle and allow us to take you into a world of inspiration.
