Wish-list: Winter 2025-2026

It is a very fine line that balances restrained elegance and touching sincerity, giving the image a captivating mystery. Shades of gray, metallic sheen, stiff fabrics, and classic silhouettes that unexpectedly lend themselves to gentle provocations.

Why do even the most discerning travelers, who have explored the world far and wide, return to Tenerife time and again and recommend it to their friends? One of the answers lies in its uniqueness - an island offering an extraordinary diversity of nature and climate, combined with an exceptionally wide range of curated pleasures.

In winter, fashion takes on a slight theatrical tone—with its mysterious soft glow, depth of color, and sense of impending celebration. It's a time when you want to express yourself a little more boldly—through noble materials, unusual textures, and details. Even in everyday combinations, such accents sound special, creating a festive mood and emphasizing individuality. It is only important not to forget about a sense of proportion, so that expressiveness does not overshadow elegance and each element of the image feels organic and confident.

When less is truly more. When bold, restrained passion pulsates behind pure shades of black and white. Architecturally austere, sculptural silhouettes combined with expressive accents in jewelry and accessories create an image of muted emotion—one that is ready to burst out at any moment.

Festive makeup is an invitation to step outside your comfort zone and try something new—something bright, free, and bold, yet completely natural. How about soft confidence with a touch of irony? This is precisely the mood set by the CHANEL festive collection, created by CHANEL Makeup in collaboration with visionary Cécile Paravina (COMETES COLLECTIVE). Inspired by astrology and the mysticism of the night sky, it seems to have come to us from another galaxy. This winter, CHANEL invites you not only to touch the starry sky, but also to try it on for yourself.

One of the most sophisticated and moving recent trends in travel and leisure is associated with the so-called luxury nomads. People choose destinations that have been transformed from degraded or endangered areas into eco-paradise-like resorts. When you arrive there, you realize that part of your payment will be used to preserve endangered species and restore the environment. This is a new standard of luxury with great potential, because it offers something special – it not only allows you to enjoy and blend in with nature, but also encourages you to become more sensitive and benevolent.
