People spend money on products and \nservices that will both add up to their status in society and with which they create an emotional \nlink, products that tell stories, products they can talk about with their friends, that will make \nthem feel special.  \nIt just happens that Craftsmanship is the best way of obtaining that. Craftsmanship links to \nemotions whilst Design brings it to a 2.0 level, meaning that Design makes the crafts fit for \ntoday’s world, and therefore, coveted. So creating products that solve a need or a problem and, \nfurthermore, speak to the heart of a specific audience in a way that today’s world is looking for, \nis what luxury brands strive to accomplish.\nIn this Issue, we celebrate Design and Craftsmanship, both in Interior Design and Fashion.  Let \nyourself be inspired by Designers and Projects, News, Events and special Inspiration & Ideas where \nCrafts take the central stage. I would like to highlight the Luxury Design and Craftsmanship \nSummit, which we attended to bring you the latest news in the industry. I am also proud to \nannounce that COVETED is a media partner of the Covet International Awards, which will be \ntaking in Paris, next January, announcing the best interior design projects of 2018 that celebrate \nthe Arts & Crafts and timeless beauty.\nEnjoy the summer, relax and get ready for the rentrée with CovetED’s News and Inspirations.\nPS: If you are looking for extra inspiration, visit our YouTube Channel: COVETED MAGAZINE.\nEDITOR’S\nLetter\n",14,{"image":67,"text":68,"number":69},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002F1a\u002Ff8e26f16c807a18afe834e2adec1ff.15.png","COVETED MAGAZINE PAGE 15.\n",15,{"image":71,"text":19,"number":72},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002F1a\u002Ff8e26f16c807a18afe834e2adec1ff.16.png",16,{"image":74,"text":75,"number":76},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002F1a\u002Ff8e26f16c807a18afe834e2adec1ff.17.png","COVETED MAGAZINE PAGE 17.\n",17,{"image":78,"text":79,"number":80},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002F1a\u002Ff8e26f16c807a18afe834e2adec1ff.18.png","What do architecture and Fashion design have in common? According to \nthe renowned Portuguese Fashion Designer Carlos Gil, everything. Nev-\nertheless let’s start with the beginning. For those who’ve never heard of \nhim, Carlos Gil is one of the most prominent names in the Fashion Indus-\ntry. His designs are incredibly appreciated amongst his audience, currently \nscattered around the Middle East, Asia and America. We had the chance to \nmeet with the Portuguese fashion icon during the F\u002FW 2018-19 edition of \nPortugal Fashion, in Porto, and to pick a little bit from his brain. \nCarlos describes himself as a rather simple, inconspicuous and humble \nman. He lives through happiness and he strives to be happy. Never car-\ning for the social paradigms or establishments, the creator believes in \nfocusing on what really matters, his work.  ‘’It’s never my goal to care \nfor any social standards or to waste my energy in fruitless things. On \nthe contrary, I always try to live my life to the fullest, and to appreciate \nevery single happy moment like it’s my last one’’.\n   \nAs we walked through his career, Carlos told us that the most frighten-\ning moment was to leave his job as a design teacher in high school to \npursue his dream.  ‘’My wife played an uber-important role in this part, \nas she told ‘your talent is way above of a simple teaching job, you have \nthe talent of a fashion designer, which is why you took your degree. \n",18,{"image":82,"text":83,"number":84},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002F1a\u002Ff8e26f16c807a18afe834e2adec1ff.19.png","COVETED MAGAZINE PAGE 19.\nWe’re opening an atelier’ she told me, and it was a tremendous \nrisk.’’The fact that Carlos and his wife decided to open an ate-\nlier, in Fundão, showed how hard he and his wife believed in \nhis talent. Fundão, for those who’ve never heard of such place, \nis a small town lost in the lavishing rural side of Portugal. \nAnd, as he stated, to start a business in Portugal’s countryside \nis incredibly difficult.  ‘’That was probably the biggest risk \nI’ve ever taken. To accept the challenge’’\nDespite being the successful designer he is, Carlos’ biggest con-\ncern now is to establish a connection between Carlos Gil, the \nPortuguese Designer, and Carlos Gil, the International Design-\ner. He admits it’s something risky, for a Portuguese designer \nto go out in one of the most ravishing industries in the world. \nWith his wife constant encouragement, and his enormous tal-\nent, Carlos Gil became a constant in Trend Books all over the \nWorld.  ‘’Ever since I’ve been invited by the National Chamber \nof the Italian Fashion, I fell nothing but love and support. We \nused to come out in five-six fashion magazines per year, but \nthis year alone we’ve come out in 16, which means that we’re \ngetting the international stability we sought’’.\nAs Carlos previously told us, to open a fashion business in Por-\ntugal’s countryside is a tremendous risk, especially 20 years \nago. But, even though the challenges he faced, he feels that, \nlike the rest of the most developed Portuguese areas, the coun-\ntryside has developed slowly, but steady. It gives him a tremen-\ndous pleasure and peace of mind to work in his hometown. \n‘’What I feel, when working in Fundão, is nothing but peace of mind’’ \nEven though his major buyers are hours of flight away (Mid-\ndle East, America and Asia), nothing makes the designer hap-\npier than working from his hometown. However, his life goes \nway beyond the picturesque countryside town. All of his com-\nmercial department is in Lisbon, the city of perpetual light. \nLisbon is a huge economic harbour, as most of Portugal’s most \ninfluential businesses are headquartered in there. He claims to \nbe a man of the world, per say, thus, like most major fashion \npowerhouses, he’s in constant travelling. For him, travelling \nis more than just business. For Carlos, every trip he makes is \na golden opportunity to learn something new, to get in touch \nwith different cultures and, of course, to study the trends that \nhis costumers follow.  ‘’Perhaps, the only luxury in life is to \ntravel. I love to travel because we get to know new things, we \nget in touch with new cultures, new ideas.’’ \nTRENDFILE \u002F\u002F\n",19,{"image":86,"text":87,"number":88},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002F1a\u002Ff8e26f16c807a18afe834e2adec1ff.20.png","One of the designer’s biggest passions is architecture. As a matter \nof fact, he feels like an architect himself. An architect of fashion. \nAn architect that, instead of changing a city’s landscape, he em-\npowers women with his one-of-a-kind designs. As such, Carlos \nhas been currently working alongside Gavinhos Architecture and \nInteriors, a Lisbon-based studio, Topázio, a well-known Portu-\nguese goldsmithery and Covet House for a concept store in Por-\ntugal’s capital.  ’It’s the merging of several architectures in one \nbig heart, one through which an immense blood river will flow’’ \nThroughout his award-winning career, Carlos highlights one he \ndeeply cherishes. On June 10th, 2015, the designer was awarded \nthe Grand Cross of the Henry the Navigator Order, Portugal’s \nhighest honour. It was more than an award. It was the recog-\nnizing of Carlos’ work, of the way he brought the spotlight back \nto Portuguese design. He feels an enormous responsibility when \nhe presents his collections outside Portugal, but, alongside the \nresponsibility, comes a tremendous joy, one that he can’t hide.  \n‘’It’s like a Herculean task, to represent a country. And it’s not \njust me, it’s a big amount of people that work incredibly hard \nto elevate my work, which is always presented in a soulful yet \nproud and wise way.’’  \nWhenever he presents in Milan, he feels he’s under the world’s \nspotlight. Milan’s one of the biggest and most important fash-\nion weeks in the world. The first times he presented, he wasn’t \ntoday’s Carlos Gil. He was just another foreigner trying to make \nit in Milan. A status that soon changed once the audience gazed \nat Carlos’ designs. He felt huge support from the audience and \nall the love that Milan had to give. To present alongside Gucci, \nDolce and Gabbana or Prada was nothing but a dream. Now, \nthat’s the reality he lives every year. \n‘’It’s a unique feeling. To be next to Prada, Gucci, Dolce and Gab-\nbana is something truly amazing.’’ \nFor him, a runway show has nothing to do with another. To \npresent in Lisbon and to present in Milan is completely different. \nWhenever he presents in Lisbon, he feels at home, an inexplicable \njoy, as he’s received by his fellow countrymen. As for Milan, the \njoy he feels is a joy of acceptation, the joy of integration.   \n",20,{"image":90,"text":91,"number":92},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002F1a\u002Ff8e26f16c807a18afe834e2adec1ff.21.png","COVETED MAGAZINE PAGE 21.\n‘’A runway show has nothing to do with another, they’re very \ndistinct worlds.’’ \nAs for his inspirations, Carlos keeps it simple. He designs what \nthe brand represents, a strong connection with strong women. \nHe tries to know his clients and to see what drives them. And for \nhim, there’s no better source of inspiration than today’s woman. \nA woman that, at the same time can be a mother, have a suc-\ncessful career and time to go out and have fun with her friends. \nThat’s how the Designers see today’s all-mighty woman, and his \ndesigns prove it. His brand’s motto is 24 Hours, as a tribute to his \nclients.  ‘’Nowadays, we have to acknowledge how powerful a \nwomen is. She’s a mother, she has a family, a career, but she nev-\ner forgets about herself. That’s what I truly admire about them. \nThey have always something special in their closet or car that \nallows them to leave their work and go to a cocktail party, like a \nsequins bomber jacket’’.\nTo produce and present a collection every six months is extreme-\nly expensive. In the designer’s mind, most people don’t realize it. \nAll the commotion surrounding a runway show, the photogra-\nphers, the journalists, the choreographers, the hairdressers, the \nbrand’s accounters, all of them have to work side by side so the \nshow can go on as planned. \n‘’It’s easier to say bad things than good ones. I always compli-\nment my colleagues’ work and how fast they can get it done. It \ndoesn’t matter if I personally don’t like a creator’s design, but I \nmake sure I encourage them to keep going.’’\nThe Portuguese Designer is a huge fan of architecture. Since a \nvery young age, he developed an interest in all sorts of architec-\nture, fitting fashion design in amongst them. Last year’s collec-\ntion was inspired not only by urban architecture but by nature’s \narchitecture as well. In his mind, people look for well-being, class \nand refinement, and that’s where the talented Portuguese will \ncontinue aiming. \nTRENDFILE \u002F\u002F\n",21,{"image":94,"text":95,"number":96},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002F1a\u002Ff8e26f16c807a18afe834e2adec1ff.22.png","NEWS & TRENDS \nWORLDWIDE\nTHE NEW CHIARA FERRAGNI SHOWROOM \nIN MILAN WAS DESIGNED BY FABIO FERRILO\nFabio \nFerrillo’s \narchitectural \nvision \nhas \nshaped \nspaces \ninternationally, from the luxury shopping experience Runway \nin Vietnam’s capital city Hanoi, to Chiara Ferragni’s 50’s \nflavored Pop-up at Le Bon Marché, Paris.

When he was younger, the designer dreamed about be-\ning a fashion designer and movie director but went on to studied \narchitecture. After concluding it, it was with all of his knowledge \nand experience that he finally found his true vocation in interior \ndesign. What Košutić enjoys the most out of being an interior \ndesigner is the “hard work and you have to love it and be strong \nenough to do it. The moment of standing in front of your real-\nized vision is one of the best sensations I know.” The interior \ndesigner believes that freedom is where the key to success lies. \nHe brings positive energy and good spirit both into his designs \nand personal life. As a matter of fact, it is by following such a \nperceptive philosophy that his interiors are so highly commend-\ned. Košutić also notes that “nothing is for the eternity -  design \nis made for people and should change and develop all the time \nbecause the way of life and the everyday needs of the people \nchange in the modern world faster than ever before.”\nHe views the interaction between designer and client as one of \nthe most important aspects of the working process, as he disclos-\nes, “The work is always a combination of my personal attitude \nand the spirit of the client, influenced by the location, building, \nroom and task. The success of one project is the result of the per-\nfect mixture of all those components – the function and the form \nhave to build the perfect unit at the end. That is the only way for \nme to make the client and myself really happy.” For  Košutić, it is \nreally imperative to take the client into a new journey, a unique \nexperience and walk towards a road of rediscovery.\n",52,{"image":217,"text":218,"number":219},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002F1a\u002Ff8e26f16c807a18afe834e2adec1ff.53.png","COVETED MAGAZINE PAGE 53.\nThe interior designer is known for producing “out \nof the box” projects and he becomes this versatile \nby being so inspired by the everyday things, by art, \nfashion, music, movies, history and, of course, peo-\nple. It is all about the things that surround us, one \njust has to truly pay attention to it. When asked \nwhat best describes his work style, the designer \nsaid “mix and match of very different elements and \nstyles are the basis of my work … “I adore colours \nand patterns. Colours are emotions, patterns are \nable to open a new dimension of the surface - smart \ninteraction of both creates fantastic atmosphere in \nthe interior.” For the designer, every project should \nhave a narrative, should tell a unique and awe-in-\nspiring story, to take advantage of the now and \ntranslate it into design. Košutić’s speciality lies on \ndesigning one-of-a-kind furniture pieces, carpets \nor wallpapers for particular projects, but not only \nthat, he also makes sure that their understanding \nfor the client’s vision and the nature of the task \nitself are clearly reflected in the final product. Al-\ntogether, his work is quite personal, contempo-\nrary and artistic. In regards to keeping up-to-date \nwith trends, sometimes he prefers going the clas-\nsical route while others opting for something new \nand trendier, but overall his projects end up being \na mixture of both. For him, it is crucial to always \nfind the right way to create a story, taking into the \nconsideration the specifications of a certain project. \nEXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW  \u002F\u002F\nHe believes that “The real challenge is putting \nthem in a very unconventional context and cre-\nating some completely new and unique composi-\ntions. I`m not obsessed by trend itself but also very \naware of it. The spirit of the time should be clearly \nnoticeable in my projects. We are not allowed to \nkeep standing, we have move and develop all the \ntime trying to create new trends.” In addition, \nKošutić is not a firm believer in long-term planning \nas he prefers to accept challenges as they came and \ntruly embrace them! Moving on to recent projects, \nDenis Košutić enlightened us a little bit more about \nhis latest project, “The idea was to view over the \nroofs of Vienna and feeling the intellectual spirit of \nParis and the coolness of the NYC Park Avenue at \nthe same time.”\nIn conclusion, the designer leaves a positive mes-\nsage for the design world: “Designers have an im-\nportant possibility and also a purpose to make the \nworld beautiful and to help people to live in a qual-\nitative environment. The influence of the interiors \nin which we live, work, shop or eat is immense and \nwe should use it in a positive way.

According to Grégoire, this new chapter \nwas based on, “The disruptions that are affecting our daily-life \nenvironments have grown so deep that we are now facing the \nurgent necessity to change things on all levels. We must put \nan end to this shift towards generalised overstimulation. We \nneed new rules, a more virtuous ethic, innovative solutions for \nalternative growth and consumer practices.”\nAs a whole, this theme will be all about educating consumers, \nfocusing on ‘makers’ and thinkers, craftsmanship and environmental \nawareness, making discoveries and exchanging ideas and appealing \ndesign concepts that are actually virtuous and better our world.\n“Interior designers, interior architects and high-profile buyers \nall favour a style-oriented, lifestyle-based approach to picking \nfurniture, accessories, and creative technical interior solutions.

The idea to expand Lodge K into an actual \nhotel came after. And it actually came from some of \nthe friends who used to spend their Summers with \nSonia. She told us they kept on suggesting her to \nturn her amazing house into a Guest House, a place \nwhere people would come to feel at home, with all \nthe luxury they deserved. A few years on the run \nand the dream finally came true! With a lot of help \nfrom her friends, Sonia redesigned Lodge K once \nagain to prepare it for the adventure that was to \ncome. She even called on her friend Richard Virgile \nde Cahours, an amazing Italian film set decorator, \nto lend a hand and help her create the Guest House \nof her dreams, which he did so remarkably.\nDuring our stay at Lodge K, we were able to experience all the familiarity \nand cosiness that comes with this story and even got to try Chef Kamal \nMansouri’s dishes, which completely blew us away. The Chef always had \nfresh suggestions and new dishes every day, but he also offered a wider menu \nof delicious Moroccan delicacies and other international dishes contemplated. \nAs for breakfast, we were greeted with a wide array of delicious choices, as well \nas trendy detox smoothies and healthy breakfast choices for those who wish \nto stay on track with their healthy lifestyles and diets. After breakfast, we \nwere ready to relax some more and went on to try Lodge K’s K-Spa Hammam, \nwhich offers a vast variety of treatments with traditional rituals that come \nfrom all over the world. For the treatments at the spa, Sonia’s team also makes \nsure to use nothing but a 100% organic care without any additives, which are \nall vitamin packed and allow for the oils to bring a new life to the skin. We \nwere lucky enough to try one of their messages and left the spa completely \nsurrendered to it, with bright skins and renewed energy to face the day, and \nthe absolutely gorgeous outdoor swimming pool that was waiting for us.\nIf you are visiting Marrakech in the near future, we would absolutely \nrecommend a stay at Lodge K. You shouldn’t leave the Boutique Hotel without \ntrying their amazing Moroccan inspired restaurant, the breathtaking outdoor \npool and, of course, their otherworldly spa treatments at K-Spa Hammam.

We must \ngo back more than a hundred years when its \ncreator began to live the story, which is considered \nby many and by the company itself - a legend. \nLouis Vuitton was raised and born in a family of \ncarpenters and millers. On 4th of August, 1821 \nVuitton laid eyes on our world, to be precise, in \nAnchay, a small working-class settlement in the \neast of France. At the age of 13, tired of provincial \nlife and of his strict stepmother, Vuitton left home \nfor Paris. The 292-mile journey took him two \nyears on foot with stops to carry out odd jobs to \nsupport himself along the way. In Paris, he met \nMonsieur Maréchal, his maître. Louis Vuitton \nquickly became a valued craftsman at the Parisian \natelier of Monsieur Maréchal, these were the roots \nof his highly specialised trade. At the time, horse-\ndrawn carriages, boats and trains were the main \nmodes of transportation, and luggage was handled \nroughly. Travellers called upon craftsmen to pack \nand protect their individual objects.\nAt a time when the luggage was still rudimentary, \nVuitton broke with the tradition of rounded chests \nand developed models that best fit the train wagons \nand the holds of the ships. It adopts square shapes \n- which allowed the suitcases to be stacked - and \nadds refinement by overlaying them with a green \nscreen. As early as 1854, the French haute couture \nhad just emerged, and the designers who put the \nbooming fashion world around the Place de la \nMadeleine. It was precisely in this neighbourhood \nthat Louis Vuitton, inaugurating his own Maison, \nthe Maison Louis Vuitton Malletier in central \nParis, introducing his first product: a suitcase \nlined with waterproof fabric (which replaced the \nleather) reinforced with metal ends in the corners, \nmaking them more resistant, revolutionising the \nconcept of class travel. Vuitton revolutionised the \nclosures of bags and baggage, with an intelligent \nclosure system. One of the hallmarks of suitcases \nand travel trunks that Vuitton created in 1886 was \nthe zipper, an intelligent system that made the \nluggage almost feel like a treasure chest. ” \n“One of the hallmarks of \nsuitcases and travel trunks \nthat Vuitton created in 1886 \nwas the zipper, an intelligent \nsystem that made the luggage \nalmost feel like a treasure \nchest. ”\nThe wealthy families, who needed to travel \nfrequently and wanted to carry expensive clothes \nand jewellery, began to have confidence in the \nLV bags to carry their belongings. In addition, \nhe produced custom-made products of the most \nvaried species. \nExamples are the chests that held photographic \nmaterials, books and musical instruments.In 1885, \nwith his son Georges Vuitton working with his \nfather, his contribution was not enough in creating \nthe fabric but he also developed “The Library Trunk,” \na chest with secret drawers and custom-made shelves \nthat took the story of the writer Ernest Hemingway \nand other renowned writers.\nTHE MONOGRAM CANVAS    \nAt the same time, the company went through \nproblems related to imitations, so new concepts \nand models were worked to maintain the \nauthenticity of the brand. This only took place \nfour years after the death of Louis Vuitton (1821 - \n1892), in 1896, when Georges introduced the idea \nof a logo on the products. Described as a “Japanese-\ninspired flower pattern,” the initial goal of the \nmonogram was to prevent counterfeit luggage in \nParis and that pattern became one of the earliest \nexamples of fashion brands. The “vintage” pattern \nof alternating squares between brown and beige \nwas known as Damier (French for checkered).\nWe can sum up with the certainty that there is \nno magic formula, but there is an authentic and \nlovable story that surrounds us from the start \nright until the end, by the simplest fact of someone \nbelieving that one could improve the every day \nof the passionate traveller by revolutionising \nart, treasuring the craftsmanship, elevating the \ncreativity and design. Nowadays, it belongs \nfaithful to their initial and immaculate concepts. \nAll this dots, representing astonishing detailing \nmake us call it luxury, “Art de Vivre”. \nSTYLE ICON  \u002F\u002F\n",109,{"image":444,"text":445,"number":446},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002F1a\u002Ff8e26f16c807a18afe834e2adec1ff.110.png","The beautiful Portuguese city of Oporto was taken over by the country’s \nmost talented designers.
