official bespoke - April - May 2017

في هذه القضية

Our April/May 2017 – Indispensable Issue – we shed the light on the things, people and ideas that appeal to us on so many planes we’re utterly hooked. We start off with a product literally no one can live without, the smartphone, and ask Google’s CEO just what he means when he says his company is thinking post-mobile. Then we meet the brothers behind The Kooples, whose collections feature staples for everyday cool before Michael Jeha, the Managing Director of Christie’s Middle East, tells us why art is integral part of a balanced society, which leads us to find our own inner-balance with an escape to the car-free, eco-friendly Vigilius Mountain Resort for a much-needed breath of fresh air. Then it’s off to London for a stay at the newly opened (and always right) Four Seasons Hotel Hotel at Trinity Square. And in between trips to the Mercedes factory in Stuttgart (to find out they credit their design department for helping them reach top spot in luxury car sales), a race up to Jebel Jais ( in a Ferrari GTLusso) and a cruise (on a very compact little ‘super’ yacht), we also ask six highly influential global personalities what they find indispensable in their every day lives.

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.
