When you unexpectedly meet a kindred spirit on a Monday night. why did it take so long for our paths to cross? ❤️❤️❤️
Family Forever ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
All smiles for
digital cover star is a force of nature…and is hard to pin down. While you may previously have known her as Natalia Shustova or by her former Instagram handle
, Morcos has undergone a rebirth of sorts. Changing her name and the paradigm she operates from, the creative has bloomed into her next season.
Co-owner of Goshá Group, Morcos is the creative brain behind out-of-the-box flower shop Goshá, bespoke events company Goshá Buro, and soon-to-be homeware retailer Goshá Home. “Goshá is anything related to art – it’s a non-conformist business. I like the idea of not being defined in what I do,” explains Morcos about her multi-disciplinary portfolio. “We started as a flower business in 2020 as that was the right language for people to heal their trauma at the time. This was followed by Goshá Buro, which is a creative design studio – we do everything from workshops to events.”

thank you for filling my life with color, beauty and emotion. When fashion moves you… you never forget. And with you… over all these years… you have made the sartorial earth shake for me at more times than I can count. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Also… I am still on the hunt find the perfect coral necklace to match yours. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
It was so lovely celebrating the launch of the 10th anniversary issue of with last night in Abu Dhabi.
Thank you for making me feel like a princess in your beautiful creation and .kairouz for making me look like one. ❤️
Feeling beautiful in my ensemble that I wore for the suhoor. ❤️
Lovely getting some one-on-one time with Daniel Lee of tonight. Grear conversation and lots of laughs. Can’t wait for the next time we have a chance to cbat.
Mogul, mother, movie star… Is there anything can’t do? For the inaugural issue of MADAME Arabia, we decided to use our launch cover to celebrate a woman who perfectly embodies our readers. Alba knows what she wants, goes after it, and doesn’t suffer any fools.
“There’s this confidence, a sort of swagger that happens when you are in your late 30s and into your 40s and 50s, it is just undeniable. You can really feel the energy,” says the businesswoman in our exclusive cover story. With her impressive and varied career Alba is proof positive there is no stopping a woman who has passion, drive and vision.
At the height of her acting career in Hollywood – she stepped away from Tinsel Town to co-found a clean and sustainable consumer products business. It was an industry she had no expertise in and one that didn’t exactly welcome her with open arms. Jump cut to 12 years later and The Honest Company is now a multimillion-dollar enterprise sold around the world.
When we spoke, Alba admitted that she faced more than a few moments of imposter syndrome but once she passed the age of 35, she felt a shift inside her. “I got a lot clearer about how I wanted to operate in the world. Who I wanted to surround myself with, and what I was not going to do anymore,” she tells us.

When you go to the opening of and you look right at home at the exhibit in your .rinaldi x dress.
With just around the corner it’s the perfect time to listen to Guillaume Delacroix .dlx - the founder of .co - talk about all thing luxury brand strategy in my latest podcast.
Guillaume Delacroix is a luxury brand whisperer. His entire career, from his early days working at Karla Otto and KCD to his time at Giorgio Armani and Balenciaga, to his current role as the founder and CEO of DLX, he has been helping leading prestige companies craft their narratives in ways that spark conversations, engage the public and create lasting impressions.
Guillaume launched DLX nine years ago and since then he has built up a reputation in the industry for both spotting and supporting budding design talents but also for helping more established companies create bold new chapters in their brand strategy. A born storyteller, Guillaume doesn’t limit his clientele to just fashion labels but instead uses his skills to create memorable moments with a variety of companies. He has worked with everyone from Matches, and the famed Samaritaine department store in Paris to hot niche brands like Sophie Carbonari Skincare, the Zurich-based On athleticwear label and the current must-have swimwear brand Hunza G.
The common denominator across all these companies is they are cool. And if they weren’t cool, by the time Guillaume works his magic on their brand strategy, communication rollout and event activations…well they damn sure will be.
I have known Guillaume for years and considering his impressive track record in the luxury space what still strikes me the most is how humble and self-effacing he is. I mean just Google the guy. For someone who can weave a brand narrative like nobody’s business, there is very little about Guillaume himself online. I hope this podcast will help change that. As he is one man worth knowing.

My podcast with my mentor is finally live.
I don’t think I have ever been as nervous about interviewing someone in my entire career as I was when my former boss and colleague Suzy Menkes agreed to speak with me for this podcast. I worked side by side with Suzy for 16 years at the International Herald Tribune. Over that period she mentored me, encouraged me and guided me - shaping my career.
During our time together we experienced so many amazing fashion moments, from the John Galliano, Alexander McQueen and Marc Jacob eras at Dior, Givenchy and Louis Vuitton, respectively, to watching first-hand the rise of LVMH, Gucci Group, Kering and the whole transformation of the fashion industry from artform to billion-dollar luxury business. Not to mention witnessing the debuts of iconic designers like Nicolas Ghesquière, Alber Elbaz, Phoebe Philo, Tom Ford, Stella McCartney, Alessandro Michele, Riccardo Tisci, Maria Grazia Chiuri, Pierpaolo Piccioli and the list goes on.
Suzy’s career as a fashion critic spans close to 60 years, starting with her college days at Cambridge where she was the first female editor of the university newspaper. But she came into full bloom as one of the most respected fashion critics in the world during her 26-year tenure at the International Herald Tribune. Her words were read in the pages of the daily newspaper by hundreds of thousands of readers around the world and eventually by millions once the internet was born. An audience that only expanded with the advent of social media and her turn as Condé Nast’s International Vogue Editor, which saw her words being translated into different languages and her reviews posted on all of the international Vogue websites.
Suzy is renowned for her honest, fair and insightful writing, and her ability to put fashion into the context of a wider global narrative. Today she runs her own very successful podcast called Creative Conversations with Suzy Menkes, where she continues to interview the leading movers and shakers within the fashion industry and is still asking the questions every fashion lover wants to know the answers to.
When you don’t have a clue how to pose with the new watch. A timepiece that marks a definitive new chapter in the brand’s watchmaking story.
A little green and gold for haute couture fashion week.

My long overdue interview with the incredibly talented , the founder and CEO of is finally out.
From the moment Alexandra Van Houtte first told me about her newly launched platform in 2016, describing it as Google for fashion, I knew she was onto something. Since then TagWalk, the website she founded and is the CEO of, has grown by leaps and bounds and has become a linchpin platform for anyone working in the fashion industry.
It is the first runway image keyword search engine in existence. In a nutshell, the former stylist’s assistant created a site that, in just a few simple clicks, makes it possible for stylists to whittle down their sartorial selections for fashion shoots or mood boards from the thousands of catwalk images, lookbooks, and street style shots taken every season. It is also the perfect tool for fashion journalists and editors who are obliged to cull together images for those never-ending “top trend” texts, as the platform allows users to search for images by keyword, colour, season, brand, and more. Tagwalk also offers a variety of features that make it easy to save, share, and organize images.
In addition to its popularity with fashion professionals, Tagwalk’s democratic nature has made it a widespread tool for your average fashionista. As it allows visitors to the site the chance to explore the latest trends, discover new designers, find inspiration for their own personal style and create seasonal wish lists of the key pieces she wants to invest in.
My conversation with Alexandra really gets into the nitty-gritty of what it takes to get a start-up off the ground, how best to bring on investors and what skill sets a successful leader needs. As always Alexandra is honest and open with her answers, not pulling any punches when it comes to the hard questions about revenue streams, scaling her business and her hiring practices. I came away from our in-depth chat feeling inspired, energized and ready to take on the world.

Mother’s Day take place on a different day in the UAE, France and the USA. But I give thanks everyday for the gift that is my mother. She is my biggest supporter, my fiercest defender and the person I know I can always count on. She has the most infectious laugh, a smile that lights up a room and a hug that seems to make everything all right.
On this Mother’s Day, and everyday, I honor my mom by doing my best to be the best person I can. Thank you mom for your guidance, your humour and your loving nature, which I can now see has been passed down to your grandkids. ❤️
