Sharon's Highlights from Dubai
WITH ITS BOOMING ECONOMY AND WORLD-CLASS INFRASTRUCTURE, DUBAI HAS LONG BEEN A HUB FOR INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES. WITH THE CITY’S STRATEGIC LOCATION, TAX-FRIENDLY POLICIES AND COMMITMENT TO BEST-IN-CLASS HOSPITALITY AND ARCHITECTURE, IT IS NO SURPRISE THAT IT IS A LEADING CONTENDER FOR INDIVIDUALS LOOKING TO RELOCATE IN TIME OF SHIFTING GLOBAL POLITICS.
We have always drawn insight from across the luxury sphere and Dubai never fails to inspire as we look to promote the studio in this exciting market. Our Founder and Creative Director, Sharon Lillywhite, has just returned from her latest trip to Dubai, where she continued discussions with our international colleagues and peers in property and yachting, as well as attended the Dubai International Boat Show.

Beyond the Boat Show, Sharon continued to draw inspiration for our own hospitality projects with a return visit to The Dior Spa at The Lana, Gigi and not forgetting the unbeatable skyline backdrop at High Society. The attention to design details, atmosphere and service levels were impeccable.



Reflecting on her trip, Sharon shared her perspective:
“I’ve spent a lot of time in Dubai, yet every time I return, I feel even more enthused and excited. The city's energy is amazing, constantly evolving as more people and more people relocate here. It’s a market that never stands still, with incredible growth in such a short time. Connecting with peers across the property and yachting industries has been fantastic, as well as supporting fellow LPF members. With our next trip in the works, I’m already excited to come back and keep building on the work we’ve started here.”

As we race towards the end of the year, the recent Autumn Statement and the U.S. election result continue to dominate discussions. We are always tuned in to any global changes that impact the luxury sector and our home market and we have enjoyed speaking with colleagues across the luxury sphere to further discuss the wider impact. In this edition of OBS Musings, we’re taking a moment to share some lighter stories reaching our screens.

This month we talk to Fashion Stylist, Oriona Robb, to find out how she helps her clients discover their personal style and express themselves through the power of fashion. We ask Oriona everything from her style predictions for the year, to how she balances the demands of motherhood with running a successful styling business.

The Middle East continues to provide a great source of inspiration for the studio, from a distinctive love of luxury, to impeccable detailing and elegant aesthetic. On our recent visit, we were keen to see The Lana, The Dorchester’s tenth hotel and their first in the middle east. Here we share our thoughts on what is becoming one of Dubai’s latest hotspots.
