Is the one you simply can’t miss. Our annual roundup of our favourite people, places and things is back and we promise it will leave you with the ultimate inside info on everything from multi-million dollar art to the world’s most amazing destinations. To kick things off, we take you behind the scenes as the Louvre Abu Dhabi finally opens its doors and meet the ambitious visionary who made it all happen. Then it’s off for a tour of the most impressive architectural feats, from a dream pied-à-terre in London to a super-sleek, award-winning museum in Palestine. You’ll also meet the imaginative Middle Eastern shoe designer who collaborated with Rihanna’s stylist and find out why we think Versace came out on top of the fashion game this year. And because you deserve a break, we’ve found the world’s best places to escape the everyday at the St Regis Vommuli in Maldives and the Ritz Carlton in Geneva- but just in case you need to stay closer to home, we give you a sneak peek at Dubai’s most talked about show, La Perle by Dragone. Plus, find out our choice of the year’s fiercest vehicles. Yes, you need this issue.

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.
