LUXURY NOW / "BEAUTY WILL SAVE THE WORLD"

Dostoevsky’s maxim still rings true, as we question the true values of luxury. Creation, knowledge and, above all, culture marks out the masters, such as Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé, as we discover the unique works of art they collected and lived with for decades. Buccellati melds time-honored craftsmanship with artistry in the world of haute jewelry; architect, I.M. Pei, upholds the patrimonial beauty of Islamic architecture in Qatar’s flourishing creative capital and Bottega Veneta brings artisan skills to the fore. Finally, fashion puts its creative foot forward, going beyond the limits.
