official bespoke - June - July 2017

In this issue

Our June/July 2017- Happy issue- Our April/May 2017 – Indispensable Issue – to kick off summer on a positive note, we’re serving up a page-turner full of the things that make us smile. Love is at the top of most people’s list, so we take a look at how the popular dating app Tinder aims to deliver this elusive feeling in the digital age. We follow up with an interview with Italian auto design house Pininfarina’ s CEO Paolo Pininfarina, and find out how Ferrari’s go-to design company plans to make its mark in the Middle East. We step inside Villa Kali, a blissful, modern beach house in Northern Lebanon and meet interior designer Francis Sultana in his elegant London showroom, where he talks art, design and his passion for craftsmanship. To keep you up to date on the latest in fashion, we get acquainted withthe founders of London-based Duke & Dexter, who’ve turned a fledgling startup into a bold collection of men’s footwear that keeps showing up on the red carpet. It’s also time for our annual horological supplement, where we give you the scoop on one of our favorite things: the latest in watches. Finally, it’s off to a few of the happiest places on Earth- namely Bhutan and Indonesia, with a pit stop in Italy for Mille Miglia, where we were fortunate enough to get prime access to one of the automotive worlds’ most prestigious races.
