THE NEW DIOR SPA!
DIOR INAUGURATES NEW SPA
AT HÔTEL PLAZA ATHÉNÉE IN PARIS
Dior opened its very first spa in 2008 at the Plaza Athénée, an ultra-private haven of peace from urban stress. The exceptional 400-square-meter space on Avenue Montaigne has been renovated several times over the years. Today it takes on a new look, with an emphasis on a warm, serene atmosphere and high-tech treatments. The pale and enveloping décor is inspired by the hotel archways, with reorganized spaces highlighting wood, stone and other natural materials.
The new spa also reveals the exceptional Dior Light Suite, a treatment room inspired by light therapy with a ceiling able to reproduce the sun’s light to resynchronize the body’s rhythms and restore energy. Unique for a luxury Paris hotel, the room is the Plaza Athénée’s best kept secret. New treatments have been specially developed as well, notably the Dior Privé Sur Demande personalized treatments.
Designed as the ultimate sanctuary for well-being, the Dior Spa in the heart of the legendary Hôtel Plaza Athénée in Paris has been reinvented and now offers a special suite dedicated to light therapy.
Dior is avant-garde in fashion and also in its vision of well-being and beauty. Offering guests a private luxury refuge that takes well-being to the highest level, the new Dior Spa Plaza Athénée is the ultimate invitation to unwind.

Wildlife SAFARI
IS CHANGING LIVES IN AFRICA

Multi-award-winning outfitter Micato Safaris (micato.com) has been doing it right for over half a century and, in Kenya, where the company has its roots, Micato has for decades been working closely with like-minded partners deeply involved in conservation and philanthropy.

Anthony Vaccarello’s
SAINT LAURENT
CLOSES PARIS FASHION WEEK
Saint Laurent brought Paris Fashion Week to a spectacular close with a Fall 2025 collection that captured the essence of elegance and modern luxury. Under the visionary direction of Anthony Vaccarello, the brand presented a collection that pushed boundaries while staying true to its signature aesthetic — sleek, seductive, and undeniably chic.
Vaccarello's Fall 2025 show was a masterclass in sophistication, featuring sharp tailoring, luxurious fabrics, and daring silhouettes that evoked a sense of strength and allure. The collection effortlessly blended classic Saint Laurent styles with a contemporary edge, showcasing a variety of looks ranging from impeccably tailored suits to glamorous evening wear. Sharp shoulders, elongated coats, and thigh-high boots dominated the runway, giving the collection a bold, confident energy.
The color palette was equally striking, with deep blacks, rich burgundies, and metallic accents punctuating the collection’s darker, more mysterious tones. Luxurious fabrics such as velvet, leather, and silk were used to create texture and depth, while intricate detailing — from statement hardware to seductive cutouts — added an air of refinement to every piece.
What stood out most was the collection’s ability to balance daring sensuality with polished, refined sophistication, something that Vaccarello has mastered during his tenure at Saint Laurent. Each look exuded confidence and power, reaffirming the designer’s vision of a woman who is bold, unapologetic, and endlessly glamorous.
As the final show of Paris Fashion Week, Saint Laurent’s Fall 2025 collection was a triumphant conclusion to a season filled with innovation and creativity. With Anthony Vaccarello continuing to redefine the Saint Laurent legacy, it’s clear that the brand’s future is as dazzling and powerful as ever.
