Dr Claire Oliver (BDS)Dr Claire Oliver (BDS) says “Whilst Ultherapy

does not duplicate the results of a facelift, it

is the only treatment in the world cleared

by the FDA for skin lifting. Ultherapy can

help you achieve a fresher, more youthful

look from your brow to your chest! ”



How Ultherapy WorksWhether it's to tackle drooping brows or sagging jaw lines,

Ultherapy delivers focused ultrasound energy to the same skin

depth targeted by surgeons during cosmetic surgery. This heat

energy initiates the body’s natural response to stimulate the

growth of fresh, new collagen and elastin. Some clients see

an initial lift after their treatment, but the real results appear

over 3 -6 months as new collagen builds, gradually lifting skin

on the upper and lower face, neck and décolletage.

Fope at Anja PotzeA TALE OF BEAUTY

The new chapter

There is a new atmosphere in Fope’s journey through theessence of Italian culture and style.

The tale takes place inside a contemporary dwelling in Vicenza, where Italian actress / model Anna Valle lets her genuine beauty shine again along the gold and diamonds of the brand’s fine jewellery. It is a true celebration of thebrand’s roots and innovative soul, and the images recall a range of emotions as wide as the perfumes of flower gardens at springtime.

Fope is an Italian jewellery brand which started out as a traditional goldsmithing workshop in 1929. Every jewel iscrafted in-house with love and passion under the guidance of the founding family and it features the highest quality applied to elegant, signature designs.

The brand’s collections have evolved through the decades,ranging from the thin and easy to wear Lovely Daisy (a 2015novelty) to the patented flexible bracelets of the Flex’it lines to the luxurious MiaLuce collection: all entirely made of 18 carat gold and intrinsically timeless.

Lovely Daisy collectionFope has designed a thin chain and a series of round features that recall its iconic Novecento mesh, a line of jewels made of 18kt gold which are fine and easy too wear.

Pricing is friendly too, making Lovely Daisy the ideal choiceboth for women who have always dreamed a Fope jewel andfor long-time customers who love mxing different pieces oftheir Fope collections.

Welcome Wild Rose! Launched in 2014, this is Fope’s most contemporary collection to this date, it is the bolder and the edgier. Today the Rose has rounded its thorn a bit, but hasn’t given up its character: the brand new designs includea large airy ring and a beautiful large pendant, both made of 18 carat gold and diamonds.

Flex’it, fine jewellery revolutionAt the heart of the Flex’it collections is Fope’s unique andpatented flexible bracelets and rings. All crafted entirely in 18carat gold, they are the essence of understated elegance andfeel smooth to wear thanks to tiny gold springs hidden between each link. Love Nest has been launched earlier thisyear and features a thick weave, a round chain and elegant flexible bracelets which make it an obvious choice for thebrand lovers.

The days of fad trends are long gone, thankgoodness! Everything today is about “how youlive in spaces”, which is what I have alwaysadvocated. Of course people salivate over stylesand pieces and wish they could have it all, buttoday and heading forward into 2016 it is abouthow it fits you. Interior design should fit like aSaville Row suit; perfectly made to measure.

For 2016 I think we’ll see many using colourhalf way up the wall and leaving the rest neutral.Give this your own stamp of personality bycreating an imaginary dado rail using anothercolour, similar to the way the Victorians woulduse panel like features.

The 4 metals that are set to be the biggesttrend are bronze, nickel, rose gold, white wroughtiron, and beaten black metal.

The use of white matte lacquer for internaldoors is a chic way to update a room, especiallyin the kitchen, gone are the days of shinysurfaces, it’s all about matte!

Air Aesthetics:5 Steps to incredible looking skin

EVERY YEAR, WE PROMISE TO TAKE BETTER CARE OF OURSELVES. WHILE IN 2016 WE WILL PROBABLY BE AS SHORT OF TIME AS USUAL, WE’RE MAKING ONE VOW: TO ADOPT THESE SIMPLE AND EFFECTIVE STEPS, MINIMUM EFFORT WITH MAXIMUM RESULTS.


Every day, your skin is exposed to free radicals such as pollution,sun and stress which damage vital skin cells like collagen andelastin that keep your skin looking radiant and full of luster.

At Air Aesthetics we have a clinically proven range of exclusiveproducts designed to prevent further damage to skin cells. These revolutionary products, developed by world renowned dermatologists Dr Zein Obagi and Dr Phillip Levy, target thesource of ageing, your skins’ stem cells and collagen. Unlike high street brands these products are proven to give yourskin the wake up call it needs returning it to a youthful state.

Step 2 – Collagen

Remodelling TherapyDid you know by the time we reach 25 our collagen has alreadybegan to diminish often resulting in uneven skin tone, faciallines, open pores and aged and sun damaged skin. Subtle rejuvenation treatments are a very effective way to rectify these tell tale sign which age us. Collagen is woken up and after 6 weeks visible signs of regeneration and repair are seen. This process will continue over the following months, providing you with smoother, brighter, natural looking skin.

Step 3 – The Hydrafacial

Maintaining clean and well hydrated skin is key If you want the same flawless skin as Beyonce, Eva Mendes and Kate Winslet.

Hydrafacial combines spa therapies with advanced medical technology to reduce fine lines, decongest the skin, restore skin health and even tackle sun damage.

Known as the Red Carpet facial, Hydrafacial will deliver cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, hydration and antioxidant protection to the skin. This incredible treatment utilizes super-serums filled with antioxidants, peptides and hyaluronicacid to boost hydration, help address the signs of aging and protect skin from environmental leaving it recharged, renewed, and invigorated.

Step 4 – Non Invasive Face Lift

If your face is loosing its definition, there is no need to resort tothe knife.

Ultherapy is the only non-invasive FDA-cleared procedure to liftskin on the neck, under the chin and on the eyebrow so you canbe confident that you will achieve the results you desire. Ultherapy is FDA-cleared to improve the appearance of lines and wrinkles on the décolletage,

The Ultherapy® procedure stimulates collagen production by delivering focused ultrasound energy to the skin’s foundationallayer typically addressed in cosmetic surgery—without cutting or disrupting the surface of the skin. No needles or toxins are usedduring the procedure. Unlike lasers, radio frequency, surgery andother technologies, non-surgical Ultherapy bypasses the surface of the skin to deliver the right amount of ultrasound energy at the right depths and the right temperature. This energy triggers a natural response under the skin, jump startingthe regenerative process that produces fresh, new collagen.

Ultherapy can help you achieve a fresher, more youthful lookfrom your brow to your chest!

Step 5 – Say Goodbye to Stubborn FatNo transformation would be complete without improving your body shape.

CoolSculpting® is a revolutionary body contouring treatment which targets

stubborn bulges and bumps that are diet and exercise resistant such as the

tummy, love handles, thighs and chin area.

Using Cryolipolysis, fat cells are frozen and die naturally before being absorbed

and eliminated slowly and safely by the body’s white cells. Crucially, surrounding cells and tissue are not affected.

There are no needles, no surgery, no bruising or scarring, no recovery time.

Clinical tests show that a single procedure can reduce the fat in the treated area

by up to 40%. Initial results are seen at 30 days with full results at 90 days.

Once treated the fat cells are gone for good. CoolSculpting® is the only FDA

Broadsword Security Services was founded in 1985 byJohn Granville. Initially providing property securitywith night watchmen and security patrols at random

times of day or night. One customer in those early days wasthe Bliss Tweed Mill in Chipping Norton who required securityduring the renovation of the buildings into apartments asbuilding materials and artefacts were being stolen.

John Granville was soon looking for another way to protectproperty. Night watchmen and random security patrols wereonly effective when physically on site and labour intensive,so electronic security systems was the way forward, they’reready to detect an intruder when the property is vacant andif it’s in the middle of nowhere, the intruder alarm system, iftriggered, would in those days play a recorded message overa telephone line to the local Police Station for them torespond and attend.

Technology has changed andimproved massively since thoseearly days and in some respectsequipment has become bettervalue for money. There arehowever increasingly moremanufacturers producing new technologies but alsocompeting with one another on cost therefore quality,reliability and conformance can sometimes suffer.

Today, Broadsword Security is the largest NSI GOLDaccredited independently owned fire and Security Companyin the area employing 24 local people of which 14 areengineers. The company is run by Peter Granville, son ofJohn, who has been in the family business for 20 years and acompany partner for 16 years of those.

M ulti-award winning rug designer andfounder of Topfloor, Esti Barnescollaborates with photographer and

designer Pam Weinstock, to create 2 rugs thatwill be showcased at their Chelsea Harbourshowroom.

The journey started with the ‘PETALS’photograph taken by Pam, first used as thebasis for her ‘VENUS’ fabric and wallpaperrange. Pam decided to add a third dimension toimage and chose Esti Barnes, well known forher signature 3-D rugs, to bring this idea to life.

73LUXURY

Pam approached Esti who used her skill andexpertise to transpose the photo into a rug.

Esti achieved the stunning effect through theuse of graduated colours and the combination ofsilk and wool, rather than to capture the imagethrough the use of carved pile. The samemesmerizing ‘trompe l’oeil’ effect has beensuccessfully used in Esti’s ‘EVERY STONE’ rugdesign.

Delighted with the rug, Pam came to Esti withan even greater challenge: to work with her on anew design – transposing a multi-hued photographof a Phuket sunset that Pam took during herhoneymoon into a rug.

The big difference between ‘PETALS’ and‘SUNSET’ was the subtlety and the considerablygreater number of colours in the latter. ‘It isexciting to take something 2-dimensional and turnit into a 3-dimensional object, where look and feelbecome important, without losing the artisticelement!’ says Pam.

Esti’s challenge was therefore more demandingand the project required 2manufacturers and 13months to complete.

The work involved visualizing and calculatingthe colour combinations to be used in each squareinch of the rug to be able to portray a real sunset.‘I only used 10 colours to achieve this look which isactually incredible when you see the finishedresult, as I didn’t want to go overboard with thecost involved in dying 60-70 different colours.I normally use this many with my graduatingdesigns, such as ‘OH! FRIEND’,’ says Esti. Throughthe skills of the weavers, the extensivecommunication back and forth with Esti’s studioand by combining the hues in different ways, the10 colours magically became 27. ‘It was like doinga jigsaw puzzle and the letters of the alphabet wereinsufficient to label the different areas with thedifferent colours’ she adds.

The result, however, seems to have made all thehard work worthwhile!

FabricsBe experimental with fabrics.A French style evokessophistication whilst stillmaintaining warmth. Fabrics addtexture and make a property feelhomely. Don’t be afraid of minormistakes in the detail. I amparticularly fond of imperfectionsas imperfections in fabrics providepersonality. Where some may seea defect, I see a piece of fabric towhich the craftsman has given life.

Bespoke FurnitureA French chic style requiresoriginality. This is why many of ouritems can be custom–made to reflecta personal style. Beds and sofas aretailor-made so customers can choosetheir ideal design, size, fabric andcolour. For example, we have a rangeof 150-180 fabrics and colours plusunique hand woven textilecollections. We welcome people tocome with ideas and work with us tocreate something unique andindividual. This is a great way topersonalise your sofa and otherfurniture pieces, showcasing originalcreativity in the home.

Colour and patternsPlay with colours and patterns.Although many associate theFrench style with beingminimalistic, I never shy away fromusing colour. Colour is a verypersonal preference – whendesigning your own sofa, you’llhave the opportunity to coordinatethe colour schemes in your homewhich can change and influence theentire feeling of a property. We lovecolour, patterns and mixing these toevoke and feeling of relaxation inthe room.

Detail and SpaceTypically, French style paysattention to detail. By adding asimple house plant, mirrors ora splash of colour to your room,this will immediately make yourhouse homely whilst stillremaining tasteful with minimaleffort. I tend to avoid followingfleeting trends as a chic style istimeless. It’s important to payattention to the space in yourhome; a chic style will alwaysavoid too much clutter.

Buyers often ask this question whenpurchasing a home because it seemslike adding an unnecessary expense to

the buying costs. However, it is consideredwise to have a surveyor come and inspectthe property and report on findings because,as with many ‘second hand’ products(excluding new homes) that they have historywhich is useful to know. Not only does thesurvey highlight any construction and legalissues that may be present but they will alsoadvise on things to watch out on in the future;such asmaintenance issues.

Having a survey could be a cost-effectiveway to avoid unpleasant and sometimesexpensive surprises after moving in. Surveysshould therefore be considered asdocuments which add value to the property(if purchased) and seen as an investment asopposed to just an added cost. A house withthe benefit of a survey can fetch a higherprice in themarket.

What type of survey should I have? For a

Mortgage Loan, there will be a ValuationSurveyor who is sent to carry out a valuationon behalf of the Bank or Building Society butit is still recommended that you instruct yourown independent surveyor to carry out asurvey (Both Consumers’ AssociationMagazine ‘Which?’ and the Council ofMortgage Lenders give this advice.) This isbecausemortgage valuations are preparedfor your lender; not for you, the borrower.Therefore, reports do not highlight personalconcerns or give details of the condition ofthe property – just whether it offers suitablesecurity for your loan which is securedagainst it. The RICS offers two types of surveyfor buyers; A Building Survey (formerly a FullStructural Survey) or the HomeBuyer Report(HBR)

A Building Survey is a customised servicesuitable for all residential properties andgives full details of the construction andcondition. The Building Survey is especiallyrecommended for unusually built, run down,

Listed/older properties – or properties whichhave been significantly altered or with whichyou are planning amajor conversion orrenovation.

The RICS HomeBuyer Report includes aninspection, a report and a valuation. It isdifferent to a Building Survey in three ways:

1) It is designed formodern/new builthouses, bungalows and flats. (Flats andleasehold ownership have special termsfor consideration prior to purchase).

2) The HBR contains ‘Condition Ratings’(Scaled 1-3) to elements of the building,highlighting what the surveyor considersto be themost important issues ordefects whichmay require immediateattention or could affect the value.

3) The HBR includes the surveyor’sopinion of the current Market Value andReinstatement Cost for rebuildingrequired for insurance purposes.

If the survey highlights that there areproblems with the house – what should I do?A: Firstly, do not panic! Read the surveycarefully so that you fully understand whatissues have been raised and if you do notunderstand the terminology, do not hesitateto contact your surveyor and ask him themeaning of what has been said. Often buyerspanic when reading the Report and assumethe worst but, in most cases the problemsare solvable and not as bad as initiallyanticipated. Most Agents and Surveyors willexpect some issues to be highlighted within aReport, especially if the house is over 20years old. This does not mean that youshould not go ahead with the sale though.Speak to both your Agent and Surveyorabout the findings and liaise about workingthrough the problem areas and resolutionwith them.

ENJOY YOURNEWHOME!

Key Principles

A well-designed interior not only looks great and is apleasure to be in, but acts as a much more functional andpractical room. It takes experience, skill and knowledge to

be a quality interior designer and like every profession, there areseveral key principles interior designers need to be aware of andutilise in order to be successful in their trade.

Whether you are dabbling with interior design for the firsttime or you are looking to employ a quality interior designcompany and want to ensure they have the necessary skills andexperience to do a good job, take a look at the following five keyprinciples of quality interior design.Setting the mood:

One of the most important principles of interior design is toadapt a certain mood in a living space. The mood is created byinternal aspects such as the choice of colour, textures, furnitureand fittings. It is important that the ‘mood’ of the room is

mapped out during the design stage of the projectto avoid any elements of the décor clashing andthe mood becoming disjointed or erratic.Functionality

Every room has its own function and a qualityinterior designer will ensure the room functions atits optimum. For example, the focal point of theroom should be optimised not only so itdominates the look of the space but also so itworks at its best.

For instance, a fireplace could be surroundedby chopped wood, not only making it look cosyand appealing but also ensuring it can be lit and

used when necessary. Likewise a bed in a masterbedroom should be adorned and decorated so thatit stands out and is fit for a comfortable and cosynight’s sleep.Injecting personality into the space

Once the mood and functionality has beenestablished it’s time to have some fun playingaround with the personality of the room.

Injecting personality into the space isdefinitely a key principle of interior design andcan be achieved by placing accessories into thespace, such as pictures, photos, ornaments andcushions.

Personality can also be achieved throughcertain décor features that stand out, such asan accent wall or a ceiling that is painted in adifferent colour from the rest of the room.Achieving repetition:

If every element and feature in a room wasa different style, colour, texture and material,the space would be visually messy,disorientating and uncomfortable to be in.

Another key principle of interior design is tocreate an element of repetition into a livingspace. Whilst having a uniform design can lookuninspiring and mundane, repeating certainfeatures such as colour, line, texture and

pattern can craft a greater sense of style andcreate a calmer and more tranquil ambience.Contrast:

By the same token bringing contrast to aroom should be an aspiration of most interiordesign projects. Contrast makes a space moreinteresting and visually appealing to the eye.

For example, placing directly contrastingcolours next to each other such as black andwhite cushions is widely considered as thehallmark of quality and stylish interior design.
