THE DESTINATION:
RH Paris
Located on the Champs Élysées in a landmark seven-storey building, RH Paris is more than a gallery. It combines design, dining and hospitality in a single immersive destination. RH Paris represents a new reason for tourists to add Paris to their itinerary, and for repeat travellers to experience the city in an entirely new way. The gallery is the brand’s first European outpost with a fully integrated hospitality concept, featuring not just showrooms but three standout dining venues. Le Petit RH has panoramic views of the Eiffel Tower and Grand Palais with its rooftop dining; Le Jardin RH serves American and Mediterranean classics under a glass and steel structure; while The World of RH Bar is the place for a cocktail by legendary bartender Colin Field.

THE BEAUTY LAUNCH:
Jones Road Lipstick
Bobbi Brown’s Jones Road has now launched a lipstick. The Classic Lip is a lightweight, richly pigmented lipstick with a satin finish which features peptides and vitamin E to smooth and condition lips. Available in 12 shades from neutral to bold, it comes in a range of neutral and bold tones for any occasion, from morning meetings to a night out. It’s lightweight, comfortable and richly pigmented to flatter every lip – we love the look of ‘Nudist’, a bold nude colour.

THE RELAUNCH:
Celine Phantom
The Céline Phantom is back, and its revival feels both nostalgic and timely. Originally launched by Phoebe Philo in 2011 as the slouchier sister to the Luggage Tote, the Phantom became a cult classic, seen on the arms of Rihanna, Nicole Richie and more. Now, newly appointed creative director Michael Rider, a former Philo protégé, has reimagined the silhouette in his debut collection, staying true to its sculptural roots while giving it a fresh, modern edge. Expect to see it everywhere once again.

THE HOMEWARE:
JW Anderson
JW Anderson has launched homeware via a collection that brings together Irish earthenware pottery, Irish linen and handblown Murano glass. Expertly handcrafted by Wedgwood artisans, the hero piece is a limited-edition coffee cup and saucer. Coloured in Jasper blue with white inlays, each cup and saucer are formed by hand then high-fired to create a matte, tactile finish. Then there’s the showstopping ceramic striped mug, which is made for everyday use. The striped design is hand-painted on for a unique finish on each, designed by Nicholas Mosse, who is known for producing handmade, functional pottery in the style of Irish Spongewares.
