Growing up in a small Romanian town, I realized very young that there was more to what lay beyond our horizons. Little did I know then that this passion for languages would eventually translate into a burning curiosity to travel and explore borders and cultures.\r\n<h4>What was your first job?<\/h4>\r\nMy journey into the working world began like many others \u2013 with a part-time job. I started tutoring English to a younger student when I was around 15 or 16. It was a humble beginning, but it taught me the value of hard work and sharing knowledge. However, my first 'official' job was as a flight attendant for a local airline. It's funny how life takes unexpected turns, isn't it? You see, I initially aspired to become an architect, but my love for travel ultimately took over.\r\n<h4>What eventually brought you to Dubai?<\/h4>\r\nAs I began to travel, I started hearing whispers of the Middle East and the incredible opportunities it held. Naturally, Dubai emerged as the favorite destination to settle into. What captivated me most about Dubai was its unique blend of modernity and dynamic design landscape. I saw it as a place where creative innovation thrived, and I wanted to be part of that energy.\r\n<h4>What inspired you to enter the interior design space?<\/h4>\r\nI developed an insatiable curiosity about the way people shape their living spaces throughout the world. It was very interesting to see how people lived globally, from Copenhagen, Tokyo, Sydney, Hong King, etc... There are so many things I could tell you about it. As I settled into Dubai, making it my long-term home during my years of globetrotting, the need for a true home retreat became increasingly essential. My first apartment in the Greens was that sanctuary, a place where I could finally anchor myself after a long-haul flight and exploration.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-215149\" src=\"https:\/\/emirateswoman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/2-The-Loom-Collection.png\" alt=\"The Loom Collection\" width=\"800\" height=\"550\" \/>\r\n\r\nBut amidst the comfort of my home, I yearned to contribute to the creation of living spaces that resonated deeply with individuals, homes that didn't just follow trends but also told unique stories. I felt that the limited furniture options available in the UAE at that time did not reflect the modern, casual, and coastal vibes that the UAE has to offer. It was this realization that ignited my passion for curating exceptional designs and making them accessible to the people of the UAE through The Loom Collection.\r\n<h4>Talk us through the concept of The Loom Collection.<\/h4>\r\nThe concept of The Loom Collection is deeply rooted in the fusion of passion, functionality, and storytelling within the realm of contemporary design. Co-founded by myself, Rozina Stefan, and Brad Wissink, our journey began with a shared fascination for modern aesthetics and a collective desire to address a unique challenge we faced when settling into our homes in Dubai \u2013 the absence of furniture that resonated with our lifestyle.\r\n\r\nOur vision was to create more than just a furniture brand; we aimed to establish a narrative through each piece, weaving a story that reflects the diverse inspirations drawn from our global experiences. The Loom Collection became the canvas on which we could express our love for contemporary, functional designs that not only enhance the visual appeal of a space but also encapsulate the essence of the individuals who inhabit it.\r\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CuPVdTRJbwU\/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\r\n<div style=\"padding: 16px;\">\r\n\r\n \r\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;\">\r\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;\"><\/div>\r\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;\">\r\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;\"><\/div>\r\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;\"><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div style=\"padding: 19% 0;\"><\/div>\r\n<div style=\"display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;\"><\/div>\r\n<div style=\"padding-top: 8px;\">\r\n<div style=\"color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;\">View this post on Instagram<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div style=\"padding: 12.5% 0;\"><\/div>\r\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 14px; align-items: center;\">\r\n<div>\r\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(0px) translateY(7px);\"><\/div>\r\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; height: 12.5px; transform: rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px); width: 12.5px; flex-grow: 0; margin-right: 14px; margin-left: 2px;\"><\/div>\r\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(9px) translateY(-18px);\"><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div style=\"margin-left: 8px;\">\r\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 20px; width: 20px;\"><\/div>\r\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 2px solid transparent; border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4; border-bottom: 2px solid transparent; transform: translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg);\"><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div style=\"margin-left: auto;\">\r\n<div style=\"width: 0px; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-right: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(16px);\"><\/div>\r\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; flex-grow: 0; height: 12px; width: 16px; transform: translateY(-4px);\"><\/div>\r\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-left: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(-4px) translateX(8px);\"><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin-bottom: 24px;\">\r\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 224px;\"><\/div>\r\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 144px;\"><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n \r\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\"><a style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CuPVdTRJbwU\/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A post shared by The Loom Collection (@the_loom_collection)<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div><\/blockquote>\r\n<script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\r\n\r\nEvery piece within The Loom Collection is a result of meticulous curation, driven by a commitment to quality craftsmanship, comfort, and a keen understanding of the practical aspects of modern living. We carefully select materials that not only speak to the aesthetic vision of our brand but also cater to the unique climate of Dubai. From linen fabrics and wool fibers to solid wood like oak and teak, Italian marble, high-quality <a href=\"https:\/\/emirateswoman.com\/10-biker-chic-leather-jackets-to-buy-because-winter-altough-mildly-is-coming\/\">leather<\/a>, New Zealand wool, and more recently, materials like Travertine stone and Tadelakt finishes \u2013 each element is chosen with purpose.\r\n\r\nThe Loom Collection is not only about aesthetic appeal but also about embodying the dialogue between modern urban architecture and the natural, sun-kissed landscapes of Dubai. Our designs are grounded in the practicality of daily life, ensuring that every piece serves as both a work of art and a comfortable, functional addition to real homes.\r\n<h4>What are the key elements of your role?<\/h4>\r\nAs the co-founder and design director of The Loom Collection, my role encompasses a diverse range of responsibilities, a bit like weaving the threads of creativity and business together. It's a diverse mix of responsibilities that keeps things exciting. One of the key parts of my job is curating our furniture collections. Think of it as being a curator in an art gallery, but instead of paintings, we're curating beautiful pieces of furniture. I need to stay in the loop with design trends, have a keen eye for quality, and make sure each piece fits into the bigger story we're telling through our collections. I work closely with our design team, both in-house and external designers, and with our suppliers to make sure everything aligns with our commitment to contemporary, functional design.\r\n\r\nBut it's not just about furniture. Building and nurturing relationships with our designers and customers is at the heart of what I do. It's all about fostering creativity and innovation while ensuring our brand stays true to our vision. In essence, my role as co-founder encapsulates a holistic approach to business\u2014one that seamlessly blends creativity with strategy, ensuring that every piece of furniture we offer is not just an object but a reflection of our passion for design, functionality, and the art of creating spaces that tell a compelling story.\r\n<h4>Talk us through your daily routine.<\/h4>\r\nIt usually starts off with a catch-up with our internal team, where we set the tone for the day ahead. We make sure to check in on current projects with our partners, shipments, and photography sessions for our website. Then, it's a deep dive into the world of design. I thoroughly enjoy checking on the progress of our current and upcoming collections, ensuring they align seamlessly with our vision.\r\n\r\nOne of the perks of my office being at the heart of our studio is the spontaneous interactions. I often run into our designers and clients, which gives me a real feel for their feedback and, of course, those welcome compliments when they see the furniture in real life. A typical day at The Loom Collection is a mix of creativity and strategy. Whether it's brainstorming new ideas, meeting with our fantastic design partners and suppliers, or exploring the latest trends, it's always a dynamic journey. Striking the right balance between artistry and operational excellence is key to our success.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-215151\" src=\"https:\/\/emirateswoman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/4-The-Loom-Collection.jpg\" alt=\"The Loom Collection\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" \/>\r\n<h4>What advice do you have for anyone looking to follow in the same footsteps?<\/h4>\r\nEmbrace curiosity and never stop learning. In the dynamic world of design, it's easy to fall into the trap of thinking you've mastered it all. However, this is a field that's constantly evolving, and there's always something new to discover.\r\n\r\nSurround yourself with a network of inspiring individuals who challenge your thinking and push you to explore fresh ideas. Don't be afraid to take calculated risks in pursuing your creative vision, but always be open to learning from your mistakes. Sometimes, our most valuable lessons come from the unexpected. Stay curious, stay humble, and keep pushing the boundaries of what you think you know.\r\n<h4>What is the best piece of advice you ever received?<\/h4>\r\nThe best advice I received is to trust the process. In the journey of building The Loom Collection, there were challenges and uncertainties, but staying true to our vision and persevering through obstacles has been key to our success.\r\n<h4>And what is the worst?<\/h4>\r\nThe worst advice, perhaps, is to conform too much to existing trends. While it's essential to be aware of industry trends, staying true to your unique design perspective and taking calculated risks can set you apart in a competitive market.\r\n<h4>What has been the biggest challenge you had to overcome?<\/h4>\r\nThe biggest challenge at The Loom Collection wasn't defining our identity, but assembling a team to bring it to life. Our quest was to find individuals who not only had the skill but also shared our vision for contemporary design and storytelling. Building this team of creative, dedicated minds who truly understood and embodied our ethos was both challenging and rewarding. Their unique perspectives and commitment have been pivotal in transforming The Loom Collection from a concept into a vibrant entity in the design world.\r\n<h4>What are your future goals and plans for your career?<\/h4>\r\nIn the future, The Loom Collection aims to build further on its presence in the Middle East, introducing innovative designs and forging collaborations with creative talents. Our goal is to be a hallmark of distinctive design in the region. We're also committed to sustainability, integrating eco-conscious practices into our design philosophy. While details of our upcoming projects are under wraps, they're set to bring fresh perspectives to contemporary interior design. Expect groundbreaking developments that will enlighten the design world.\r\n\r\n<strong>\u2013 For more on luxury lifestyle, news, fashion and beauty follow Emirates Woman on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/EmiratesWoman\">Facebook<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/emirateswoman\/\">Instagram<\/a><\/strong>\r\n\r\n<em>Images: Supplied<\/em>"},{"Id":215139,"MagazineId":11111,"PublishedTimestamp":"2023-12-07","IssueNumber":"","Category":"Lifestyle","Author":"Ruman Baig","Title":"Festive spirit: Best places to spend Christmas and New Year\u2019s Eve in Dubai","Article":"Looking for the best places to ring in the New Year and celebrate Christmas this year in Dubai?

That motivated me to bring my sketches to life, which I have been gathering over the years, as I really felt the urge to express emotions and ideas into a creative realm of evening\/ party handbags that would stand out and strike a conversation.\r\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CyyX-WaMWme\/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\r\n<div style=\"padding: 16px;\">\r\n\r\n \r\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;\">\r\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;\"><\/div>\r\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;\">\r\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;\"><\/div>\r\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;\"><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div style=\"padding: 19% 0;\"><\/div>\r\n<div style=\"display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;\"><\/div>\r\n<div style=\"padding-top: 8px;\">\r\n<div style=\"color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;\">View this post on Instagram<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div style=\"padding: 12.5% 0;\"><\/div>\r\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 14px; align-items: center;\">\r\n<div>\r\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(0px) translateY(7px);\"><\/div>\r\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; height: 12.5px; transform: rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px); width: 12.5px; flex-grow: 0; margin-right: 14px; margin-left: 2px;\"><\/div>\r\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(9px) translateY(-18px);\"><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div style=\"margin-left: 8px;\">\r\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 20px; width: 20px;\"><\/div>\r\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 2px solid transparent; border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4; border-bottom: 2px solid transparent; transform: translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg);\"><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div style=\"margin-left: auto;\">\r\n<div style=\"width: 0px; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-right: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(16px);\"><\/div>\r\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; flex-grow: 0; height: 12px; width: 16px; transform: translateY(-4px);\"><\/div>\r\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-left: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(-4px) translateX(8px);\"><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin-bottom: 24px;\">\r\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 224px;\"><\/div>\r\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 144px;\"><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n \r\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\"><a style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CyyX-WaMWme\/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A post shared by L\u2019alingi (@lalingilondon)<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div><\/blockquote>\r\n<script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\r\n\r\n \r\n<h4>Who is the L\u2019alingi woman?<\/h4>\r\nAs much as L\u2019alingi aspires to appeal to a wide range of people, I would say the L\u2019alingi woman wants something different and likes to stand out. She is strong, feminine and expresses herself through fashion. She appreciates art and beauty and is okay with the unconventional. She chooses individuality over practicality.\r\n<h4>Can you talk us through how you approach the creative process?<\/h4>\r\nMy first collection was very much inspired by my trip to Japan where I played on the idea of combining sweets and food with glitter resin clutch bags, adding the element of fun to a serious\/classical evening bag. The following collections were gradually breaking away from the classic rectangular shape into more unconventional silhouettes, coming limitless beyond the \u2018practical\u2019 handbag. In 2019 I designed the iconic Eternity Clutch, inspired by my engagement ring. Since then, jewellery has been one of the biggest inspirations behind the designs that led to the creation of other bestselling styles such as the Taliya Clutch, Taliya Feather Pouch and Love Clutch. If you hear the word \u201chandbag\u201d you immediately think leather. We try to explore mixing various materials such as brass, crystals, resin, embroideries which enable exciting outcomes and the unexpected. We want to offer enough newness each season while preserving our classic staples, keeping the brand exciting yet timeless.\r\n<h4>Each piece is crafted to the highest caliber \u2013 how do you ensure quality is maintained for every design?<\/h4>\r\nWe have tried out a handful of factories and faced some obstacles in the process of quality perfection, as our bags are quite specific in materials and in how delicate they can be. We source our materials for the factories from some of the best suppliers in Italy and Europe. We also test our bags by dropping sample bags on the floor and scratching their surfaces to really ensure their durability. Stones are carefully glued to ensure safety upon wear and tear.\r\n<h4>What\u2019s some of the most important business advice that you have ever received?<\/h4>\r\nAs an individual with no business experience, I really tried to absorb any advice I would get and there was a lot to learn. I would say the most valuable advice is be patient; it takes two years to understand the industry and five years to see results. Be smart with the spending as brands like ours had to endure the covid and lock down era, so being mostly online based and not having high rents and overheads at the time was to our advantage. A healthy and steady growth to me seems more valuable than an overnight hype that could die down just as quick.\r\n<h4>The brand focuses on sustainability at its core \u2013 how has this been incorporated in various pieces?<\/h4>\r\nWe carefully source our materials to ensure they meet our high-quality ethical standards and align with our pledge to environmental responsibility. Although some of our bags are already 100 percent vegan, we continue to search for more sustainable, environmentally conscious and animal-friendly materials. During factory production, we do our best to ensure that all materials used including fabrics and metal components do not go to waste. Unused metal components are melted down and reused through the process of electrolysis in a galvanic plant. 10,000 litres of water used in the galvanic plant are recycled every day through special filters. The filtering process allows the polluted water to be cleaned and reused for up to 4 months.\r\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/C0UxuPwMXL_\/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\r\n<div style=\"padding: 16px;\">\r\n\r\n \r\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;\">\r\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;\"><\/div>\r\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;\">\r\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;\"><\/div>\r\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;\"><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div style=\"padding: 19% 0;\"><\/div>\r\n<div style=\"display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;\"><\/div>\r\n<div style=\"padding-top: 8px;\">\r\n<div style=\"color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;\">View this post on Instagram<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div style=\"padding: 12.5% 0;\"><\/div>\r\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 14px; align-items: center;\">\r\n<div>\r\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(0px) translateY(7px);\"><\/div>\r\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; height: 12.5px; transform: rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px); width: 12.5px; flex-grow: 0; margin-right: 14px; margin-left: 2px;\"><\/div>\r\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(9px) translateY(-18px);\"><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div style=\"margin-left: 8px;\">\r\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 20px; width: 20px;\"><\/div>\r\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 2px solid transparent; border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4; border-bottom: 2px solid transparent; transform: translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg);\"><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div style=\"margin-left: auto;\">\r\n<div style=\"width: 0px; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-right: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(16px);\"><\/div>\r\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; flex-grow: 0; height: 12px; width: 16px; transform: translateY(-4px);\"><\/div>\r\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-left: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(-4px) translateX(8px);\"><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin-bottom: 24px;\">\r\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 224px;\"><\/div>\r\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 144px;\"><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n \r\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\"><a style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/C0UxuPwMXL_\/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A post shared by L\u2019alingi (@lalingilondon)<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div><\/blockquote>\r\n<script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\r\n<h4>What are the brand\u2019s key party pieces that are your personal favourite?<\/h4>\r\nMy favourite classic and formal clutch would be the Taliya eternity. I like the intricate details on the handle. For a more casual dinner out I love wearing the micro eternity as a cross body compact bag, it is so light and effortless. As for a day to night bag I always go for the feather pouch.\r\n<h4>How do you embrace dressing every party season \u2013 what are your top tips?<\/h4>\r\nFor me the three elements of party dressing include either crystals, glitter or feathers. I don\u2019t like to overdo it with sparkle, otherwise it could take away from outfit. But I do think it is important to embrace the right amount of the \u201cunexpected\u201d and I usually go for a statement bag or shoe to pair the outfit.\r\n<h4>What lies ahead for the future of the brand?<\/h4>\r\nSeeing the immense demand for our matching earrings has opened possibilities of exploring the jewellery category as well as other accessories such as sunglasses.

I then shower and make a green tea before I sit down to work or head to the office.\r\n<h4>Can you expand on how you split your time to oversee both roles and what time saving techniques you use to work smart?<\/h4>\r\nWhen it comes to the brands and the products a lot of that is overlapping so if I\u2019m in market or at the shows or talking or in business meetings with the brands, I then use that time to cover both Farfetch and Browns. I consider the strategies and asks or any issues opportunities, so I use that same time to cover all the things we\u2019re asking for from the brands. That\u2019s really like how I try to make sure that then we have one single view of both businesses with the brands which is actually something that we really needed in the business so that you know you\u2019re making sure that each channel is actually providing what you want from that brand and there is no overlap. I try to spend time with the different teams from both obviously and we work constantly on WhatsApp chat where we share our favourite looks and our favourite trends and that\u2019s a nice piece of crossover there as well. I also do walkthroughs with the Browns team in the store, and we have very Browns specific trade meetings etc. but there\u2019s so much alignment that I think that we probably didn\u2019t have in the past without this role overseeing both and it\u2019s actually really nice for all the teams and the business to have this like single review of supply across all our channels.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-215083 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/emirateswoman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/elizabeth.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"708\" height=\"898\" \/>\r\n<h4>How have your previous roles supported you to thrive in your current role?<\/h4>\r\nI started my career in the 90s at Barneys New York under the Pressmans and I think every role I\u2019ve taken has really brought me to where I am today. When I first started, Barneys was about bringing fashion to the US, we were the first ones to discover and bring all the Japanese designers and all the Belgian designers \u2013 we really launched so many brands so that era for me was all discovery, really working with emerging talent, helping them grow over time and bringing that to market. I was at Bergdorf for 16 years and we were there to modernise everything from full floor renovations to building out the offering of the biggest brands like Valentino, Dior and Gucci. We built the largest single door businesses within the US and alongside that it was about how to market this offering from physical activations to online and how we look after our top customers. Understanding the global customer and that their ability to spend, the love of fashion was so important as was spending so much time on the sales floor to understand their needs \u2013 that stays with you for the rest of your life and that is something that you need wherever you are whether your business is digital or physical. I think about the customer first and I think that really came for me from my time at Bergdorf as it was so customer centric. Bergdorfs always came first as a brand so it was about how we kind of toed this line between making sure that we we kept our Bergdorfs aesthetic, our Bergdorfs point of view but then also making sure the brands got the most out of the business as well. At the end of my Bergdorfs career we took over our website from Neiman Marcus and so that took me on the journey of e-commerce and really grew my interest in that area and from there I went to NET-A-PORTER which is pure e-commerce and a global business. The experience I took from my past roles to <a href=\"https:\/\/emirateswoman.com\/10-editor-approved-summer-workwear-inspiration-by-net-a-porter\/\">NET-A-PORTER<\/a> was No. 1 understanding truly what the customer wants and we knew we had a global customer so really understanding how you use the data. This was was for me one of the most exciting parts of the business as you do not have such a depth of data in a store. It is what do you do with the data, how you translate the data and how that helps you buy when you\u2019re at market. When you\u2019re launching a new collection or new designer you have to really think about how to bring it to life online and that was such a fun challenge, working with the creative and marketing teams to bring to life all the amazing projects. From there I went to Matches, which started originally as a boutique and later became a very large global e-commerce business. I was able to bring together again that idea of physical brick and mortar with digital and how you bring to life all the content you\u2019re creating within your physical spaces online. A great initiative for me there was doing international pop-ups and bringing Matches to the forefront of the view of our global customers. Now at Farfetch I really see the future of fashion, it\u2019s the largest global luxury platform there is, and it works not only with multi brand boutiques all over the world but also directly with the brands and then on the Browns side you have the beautiful store in London\u2019s Book Street which is all about heritage and curation. We work with the technology from Farfetch to really drive the customer experience through Browns and that\u2019s what we call connected retail, so it\u2019s almost like every every single step every along the way has led to this new opportunity.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-215084 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/emirateswoman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/elizabeth2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"708\" height=\"898\" \/>\r\n<h4>How do you balance the creative and commercial sides of the business?<\/h4>\r\nI think what everyone in fashion loves about it and what I love about fashion is that it is such a creative field and you\u2019re working with creative people all the time but it is a business. Whether we\u2019re working on a new project or product, we also have to remember it needs to sell and each season to improve on the last. The product that you have needs to engage the customer, to convert the customer and it\u2019s really about your sell-through, which is motivating because you can actually see an immediate effect of your buy.\r\n<h4>What is your biggest strength to date both personally and in business?<\/h4>\r\nI think for me it\u2019s really probably a lot to do with empathy. It\u2019s really understanding people and I\u2019m someone who I loves to communicate but I also understand how everyone\r\nreacts differently to communication, everyone is motivateed by different styles of working and I think my strength is probably understanding those within not only my own business internally, but those externally including designers, CEOs of companies and any organization \u2013 understanding what both sides of the table want and making sure we all come out feeling happy with the negotiation. It is important to understand how people are motivated by how you communicate with them.\r\n<h4>What do you look for in a new brand?<\/h4>\r\nThere are many new brands every single season and it\u2019s difficult because there\u2019s so much talent out there and you also want to represent brands from all over the world. What is really important is you want to find something that immediately strikes you as something that has a very specific DNA, something unique and something that has longevity. To scale you need to be able to produce, the quality and fit needs to be there and consistent to gain the trust of the customer so you wanna make sure that they have all the right things in place to be able to ship on time and that the fabric quality is there.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-215082 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/emirateswoman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/elizabeth3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"708\" height=\"898\" \/>\r\n<h4>What one piece is your style signature?<\/h4>\r\nI love a blazer, I love a jacket; I probably have every different style and every different colour and shoulder, but I love a jacket.\r\n<h4>What has been the biggest challenge to date and how did you overcome it?<\/h4>\r\nI would say for me I\u2019m always pushing myself to grow and learn and to feel scared or intimidated again because I want to learn something new and I want to develop new skills. I wanna learn from other people so I think probably the latest and largest challenge I had was when I took a break and decided to go back to school at my age to study an Advanced Management Program at Harvard Business School. There your cohort are people like you who have been in the industries for 20 years, they\u2019re all at exactly the same level and that was super intimidating in the beginning, no one was in fashion, and I was like oh my god what am I doing this for? It gave me a lot of anxiety actually in the beginning but once I was in it and and sitting with these amazing professors you realize that you all have the same challenges whatever industry you\u2019re in \u2014 it was a huge challenge but probably one of the best things I\u2019ve ever done, it\u2019s amazing.\r\n<h4>What values are most important to you?<\/h4>\r\nTransparence. I like authenticity and just not taking yourself or everyone\u2019s not taking themselves too seriously, especially in the industry we are in. It\u2019s really about bringing people joy and it has to be and feel real.\r\n<h4>What level of drive and resilience does it take to maintain such a fast pace for so long, while also consistently innovating and what lifestyle\/mindset hacks support you to do this?<\/h4>\r\nI always joke I feel like there\u2019s certain people that when you\u2019re in this industry and you\u2019re someone who has done it for as long as I have, I always say we were built physically in some certain way that we\u2019re able to l live without sleep, we\u2019re able to travel all over the world and not even think about time zones and we\u2019re able to just be on all the time and still actually enjoy what we\u2019re doing. It does take a certain physical ability I think to do that, but then I think I still get excited by this industry, whether it\u2019s an amazing new designer or new technology. I\u2019d be bored in any other industry, this keeps me excited, and brings me the joy to keep my energy levels up. Having said this, I do really try to control my personal time and to protect it as much as possible. Professionally you can\u2019t be everything and go to everything so I think you really have to pick and choose where you think you will both get the most value and give the most value. I try to get as much sleep when I can, if I\u2019m home for the weekend I actually make no plans and I exercise, meditate and I have my facials religiously to really balance out the fast pace of work.\r\n<h4>Have you had any mentors in life and if so, what knowledge did they impart?<\/h4>\r\nHaving mentors in my life I think is one of the most important things, actually it\u2019s probably one of the pieces of advice I give to anyone who comes to me for advice. I say \u2013 reach out to people you admire, I would say I\u2019ve been lucky enough to have worked with a lot of amazing people, for example from my old CEO at work in Goodman to great friends who runs huge businesses across different industries. For me it\u2019s so important being a woman leader and really building a support network of female entrepreneurs and leaders who have blazed the path before me. I always try to go to them and ask them for advice as well trusting my own gut more \u2013 I think having confidence in yourself and trusting your gut is really important.\r\n<h4>What is a kindness you\u2019ve received or a lesson you\u2019ve learned that you\u2019d like to pay forward?<\/h4>\r\nI think the best bosses I ever had or the best mentors I ever had really believed in me. From the very early age I had people who really were so supportive of how they saw\u00a0how I looked at the business and they were like always saying we know you can go really far, and I\u2019ve had those people throughout my life and career \u2013 even today \u2013 and I think believing in yourself comes from knowing everyone. I mean my husband is my number one biggest supporter of my career and I could never do what I do without him but it\u2019s having this group in this community whether it\u2019s your friends, whether it\u2019s people within your business, your husband or your family \u2013 the level of support gives you the ability to continue. Being a female leader I have a lot of people come to me that DM me or reach out to me on LinkedIn or just literally cold call me just to ask for advice or have a meeting and I so try to say yes as much as I can to pay this support forward.\r\n<h4>What piece of advice would you give to your younger self?<\/h4>\r\nThat you don\u2019t have to be in a rush all the time. I think I probably gave up certain things when I was younger because all I wanted to do was get to the next level and be promoted \u2013 just go go go. In hindsight I think you can probably take a little bit more time for yourself and your family.\r\n<h4>What advice do you have for approaching party season dressing while staying true your style?<\/h4>\r\nI think when you work in fashion every day looks like you\u2019re going to party. Depending on where you live, I would say when I worked in New York it was more full-on, London is a little more low key. The worst thing is to get overly dressed up or be in something that you just don\u2019t feel like yourself in, so for me when I\u2019m party dressing it\u2019s literally just a different version of how I dress normally \u2013 it just probably a little bit more fun.\r\n<h4>This is The Winter Escape Issue \u2014 where will you be escaping to this year over the festive period?<\/h4>\r\nActually, this is the first time in many years I\u2019m actually not hitting the Austrian alps which is where I usually spend the holidays skiing. I\u2019m actually doing a hot climate this time so we\u2019re going to Porto Escondido which is the beach in Oaxaca, Mexico and that\u2019s where I\u2019m spending the holidays.\r\n<h3><em>December \u2013 The Winter Escape Issue with Rolls Royce\u00a0 \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/4156rpv\">Download Now<\/a><\/em><\/h3>\r\n<h3>\u2013 For more on luxury lifestyle, news, fashion and beauty follow Emirates Woman on Facebook and Instagram<\/h3>\r\n<em>Images: Supplied<\/em>"},{"Id":215036,"MagazineId":11111,"PublishedTimestamp":"2023-12-05","IssueNumber":"","Category":"Lifestyle","Author":"Team Emirates Woman","Title":"Festive Crystal picks as Zodiac gifts for every star sign","Article":"<em>Words by Vandana Melwani\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nLooking for the perfect gifts for your loved ones?
