Sandro SS18 collection

For the Spring-Summer 2018 season, the Sandro woman flourishes in multiple inspirations and audacious games of contrast, between a manifest floral presence and an androgynous aspiration spiced with Cuban rhythms. She freely composes a resolutely feminine look and opens the way to new aesthetic paths.

It all begins with colour, the unconscious starting point of the season. With the daylight lengthening, the longing is for tender pink, sky blue, anise yellow and light beige. The palette extends to more intense shades such as deep blue or pine green and composes a real f lower garden. Spontaneously, the f lowers become obvious and bloom over the collection. They blossom on blouses, dresses and combinations. They unfold like light chains on silks and summer cottons. Elaborated with retro accents, they are reminiscent of the free and wild American rockers’ prints from the 70’s. However, far from the artificial paradises, these are made for truly real desires.

To this floral atmosphere, Evelyne Chetrite confronts the masculine American sportswear and work-wear codes. At first, they were thought out to protect and even exaggerate masculinity, but here they reveal the woman. The suit trousers are ubiquitous but elaborated in light cotton and soft hues. The darted trousers are sharply cut at the ankles. The jackets are adjusted with suppleness. Severity is not the rule, either that of Wall Street bankers, or that of the workers, who see their work jumpsuits tinged in tender pink or imagined in an intense purple short dress version. From the American football players are borrowed the lacing plays that are applied to the sleeves of a suit jacket or to the deep cleavage of a knit tank top. The training jerseys are pinched and twisted into an off-white sweater with a deep V-neck.

As if to spice up the summer, the atmosphere of an old-fashioned Havana gives rhythm to the collection. Pearly beads boldly display the name of Cuba on denims and shirts. Vintage fashion t-shirts are f locked with «Made In Cuba». Zigzags are drawn on a green and yellow mesh dress. Above all, everything is blended freely, with strength and conviction. An immaculate lace dress is combined with a business-stripped, cotton-cut babydoll. A trench coat is associated with striped tracksuit bottoms. A button dress is transformed into a supple kimono, and worn over a bra and subtle black trousers.

For the Sandro Woman, it is by distorting the codes that she can explore her own style. All associations are possible as long as they are owned.

A color palette of pastel blue, lilac and yellow with pops of red and black, create a light and airy feel to the 1960’s inspired RTW.

TAG Heuer’s Iconic Timepieces for Men & Women:

A Timeless Gift They Will Never Forget

There is an indefinable power that comes with a TAG Heuer watch. Perhaps it’s the Swiss heritage, our passion, and the precision engineering, or perhaps it’s the integrated technology, stylish elegance, and iconic designs that have stood the test of time. Whether it’s the motor-racing inspired limited-edition Jack Heuer-Autavia, sported by Steve McQueen for him, the revitalised classic design of the Link Lady adorned with diamond bezel for her, or the Connected Modular 45 smartwatch editions for each other, nothing can compare to the elation of receiving a true icon. This year, give a gift that means so much more. Give them TAG Heuer.

For Him

TAG Heuer Link Calibre 5

The sleek, sporty and sophisticated Link Calibre 5 is celebrating 30 years since its launch with a masterful makeover. It’s understated contemporary detailing by legendary designer Eddy Schöpfer, is accented by a larger 41mm diameter, and retains its signature S-shaped links on its iconic bracelet, for enhanced ergonomics and comfort. Epitomising avant-garde design and timeless elegance, the Link for men is available with three dial variations: black, silver-plated and blue sunray, offering TAG Heuer’s most comfortable bracelet in an even sharper and more elegant design.

Jack Heuer – Autavia

To celebrate Jack Heuer’s 85th birthday, TAG Heuer launched a limited edition version of the famous Autavia chronograph. Based on the rugged, reckless, and exciting lifestyle of Formula 1 drivers, who at the time epitomized a fearless, adrenaline-fuelled, elite, and fast-paced lifestyle, the Autavia was the chronograph of choice for racing daredevils including Formula 1 champion Jochen Rindt, and infamous petrol-head and Hollywood actor Steve McQueen. This exclusive new reissue is limited to 1932 pieces – in reference to the year of Jack’s birth – has been designed by Jack Heuer himself. The timepiece is both modern and faithful to its roots, capturing the spirit of golden age motor racing. The Autavia, along with these legendary talismanic figures, will forever embody the exhilarating world of horsepower and adrenaline, where everything can change in less than a second. 

TAG Heuer Autavia UAE (Photo at the beginning of the feature)

With just 150 to ever be produced, the UAE specific reinterpretation of the 2017 Autavia reedition combines all the heritage of its 1960s ancestor with TAG Heuer’s contemporary precision, functionality and Middle Eastern cues. This timepiece was inspired by the automotive heritage shared by the UAE and TAG Heuer, and pays tribute to the UAE through its tropical dial, reminiscent of desert sands.

Developed in partnership with Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons, Tag Heuer launched the first nine pieces of the UAE Autavia during Dubai Watch Week in November. During December 70 more will be released, and the final 71 in the New Year. Each watch will have its specific production number engraved from ‘001’ to ‘150’ and will only be available in the UAE. The Autavia is an iconic timepiece loved by collectors, and a unique UAE edition will only add to its history and legend, making it a desirable collector’s item.

TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre 01 43MM

The Carrera Calibre 01, so named because it was the first of a new generation of chronographs, is a classic yet contemporary sports watch inspired by motor racing. A subtle nod to the fast-paced world of racing is reflected in the movement’s Chrono functions which are identified by a red hue, the iconic shade of some of the world’s most classic racing car designs. This year, the famous proprietary chronograph is being unveiled with a slightly smaller diameter of 43mm, in a choice of three versions: intense black, deep navy blue and an elegant cognac brown.

With an elegant diameter of 32mm, the new curved profile of the bracelet, and the stylized, sophisticated finishing the Link Lady is striking in its appearance, accented by the polished shine of brushed S-links, and the iridescent appeal of all the dials in mother-of-pearl. The Link has become the standard in comfort, while different colour variations, incorporating a layer of blue-grey or black lacquer radiate an enhanced sophisticated hue. The date window at the 3 o’clock position and polished faceted indices complete the classically chic look.LINK printed at 6 o’clock

Carrera Lady

A sporty, contemporary version of the Carrera for today’s active young women. Available in a number of variations including the exuberant blue sunray dial with a denim-effect leather strap, and the timeless black dial with an 18 karat rose gold case and shiny black alligator-skin strap, the Carrera exudes contemporary elegance. The full-black option incorporating the full-grain calfskin leather strap, emanates a ‘rock ‘n’ roll’ personality, while all varieties of the Carrera speak to a new generation.

Aquaracer Lady 300 M

In deep ocean blue, or intense black for a more timeless watch, the new steel Aquaracer models are unflinchingly sporty and elegant, for the active modern woman. Options range from a completely steel strap with brushed links for ergonomic comfort to diamonds embedded on the bezel. Incorporating a natural mother-of-pearl dial in blue or black, finished with a ceramic bezel and a tone-on-tone strap with a satin finish, the Aquaracer is incredibly striking, while perfectly fitting an active lifestyle. For a touch of glamour, the dial is set with 11 diamonds, and the bezel can be set with 35 diamonds for a total weight of 0.59 carats.
