Notes on an Obsession HOLIDAY SEASON WISH LIST Chapter II by Olivier Dupon
Following the Holiday Season Wish List Chapter I last month, here is Chapter II and still a gorgeous line-up of covetable treats to celebrate the end of the year. This special edition of our monthly ‘Notes on an Obsession’ column, indeed curates a few marvellous gift ideas for her and him. I have kept the same intent as when writing a ‘Notes on an Obsession’ article; that is, unveiling beautiful one-of-a-kind or limited edition designs; however, this time I have widened my selection to include objets d’art, acces- sories and lifestyle goods. I had a fantastic time curating the following catalogue for you since my prime interest, as always, has been in perfect craftsmanship in all its function- al or decorative applications. In each of the following spreads, high and fine jewels are paired with exquisite products from leading or emerging designers. Do not hesitate to contact the designers or brands directly, should an item spark your interest, and last but not least let me wish you and your loved ones once again the most wonderful time in the lead-up to the close of 2017. Yours truly, Olivier Dupon

London goes Italian this Christmas with a unique collaboration between Dolce & Gabbana and eponymous department store, Harrods. Far from doing things by half the two partners have gone all the way to re-create a festive Italian market on the 4th floor. “It’s a story of fowers, fruit, vegetables, toys, gastronomic delicacies, dazzling colours, vivacity and joy”, they say. The sheer volume of colours and lights make it a sensory jolt to the system. It is indeed as if one might stumble upon strolling through any Italian town. Moreover it is also “an homage to the beauty, tradition and Italian authenticity that one experiences in the streets, the ateliers, the bakeries, fruit vendors, souvenir shops and open-air markets”, they add. For this occasion Dolce & Gabbana have created an array of unique accessories, fashion and lifestyle goods that each echo the spirit of countless festivals that animate the lively towns of Southern Italy.

London goes Italian this Christmas with a unique collaboration between Dolce & Gabbana and eponymous department store, Harrods. Far from doing things by half the two partners have gone all the way to re-create a festive Italian market on the 4th floor. “It’s a story of fowers, fruit, vegetables, toys, gastronomic delicacies, dazzling colours, vivacity and joy”, they say. The sheer volume of colours and lights make it a sensory jolt to the system. It is indeed as if one might stumble upon strolling through any Italian town. Moreover it is also “an homage to the beauty, tradition and Italian authenticity that one experiences in the streets, the ateliers, the bakeries, fruit vendors, souvenir shops and open-air markets”, they add. For this occasion Dolce & Gabbana have created an array of unique accessories, fashion and lifestyle goods that each echo the spirit of countless festivals that animate the lively towns of Southern Italy.
