The rules are loosening. Both within and beyond the confines of fashion, fluidity – wearing what you want, when you want – looks set to be a joyful way to live now. From bacteria-based fabrics, high-street brands pivoting and the rise of niche labels, even if we don’t snag a Prada spacesuit (set to drop next year), the future looks bright for fashion. Find out why in Bazaar Arabia’s December issue, on stands now.

Individuals in power have the potential to influence trends beyond the obvious. “From a political standpoint we now have stability [after elections in the UK, Indonesia, Ghana and the USA in 2024] and that allows the fashion world a confidence to move forward,” Angela Baidoo tells us. With the return of Donald Trump to the White House, will we see a new conservatism? Will traditional values come to the forefront and with them clothes that reflect that new mood? Bazaar Arabia makes its fashion-forward New Year’s predictions in the December issue, on stands now.

@nat.bowen’s abode in Dubai’s Jumeriah district is a beautiful reflection of her artistic vision. “I love the contrast between the simplicity of neutral walls and the vibrancy of the pieces I create,” says the British self-taught visual artist, who approaches her home much like she approaches her art: with a focus on light, texture and movement. The colour palette, intentionally understated, sees a marriage of white, grey and beige, making way for the bold artworks to define the character of the space – which feels both like a home and an art gallery. “Much like my artwork, the home itself serves as a canvas, and I love how they come together to create an environment filled with colour, light, and energy,” Nat smiles. “I use a mix of materials and finishes, from matte to glossy, and I also do enjoy playing with layering different textures to create a sense of depth.” Swipe left here or tap the link in bio to see more, from Harper’s Bazaar Interiors’ Winter 2024 issue. @harpersbazaarinteriors Photographer: @efraimevidorphotography Styling: @margueritachris Words: @ayeshashehmir

The very best things come in small packages; never truer if they arrive in @cartier’s iconic red box. Prepare to unwrap stylish timepieces and glittering gems, each presented to perfection.

The @cartier Love Bracelet was brought to life in 1969 as a tribute to everlasting love and devotion. Today, it is also celebrated as an icon of timeless style, and is now available in three sizes — the perfect surprise for any loved one.

@Cartier’s Santos Dumont timepiece was first unveiled in 1904 as the world’s first pilot’s watch, while the Panthère de Cartier arrived in 1983, immediately celebrated for its refined flair and effortless panache. Both designs exude contemporary classicism — the perfect way to show your love will last a lifetime.

Paris-born French-Algerian homeware and jewellery designer @anissakermiche is as bold and distinctive as her designs. Her unorthodox path saw her quit a prestigious engineering job in France after having spent her holidays taking a jewellery course at Central Saint Martins. She launched her eponymous label in 2016, initially as a fine jewellery line before seamlessly expanding it to offer whimsical home décor. Today, her iconic bum vases have become instant conversation starters. Lensed by @carlaguler in her chic London flat, Anissa styles three timeless looks for Harper’s Bazaar Arabia that define the modern, understated, fashion-forward woman of today.
