Discover the new Fall-Winter 2022 issue of Luxus+ Mag
Luxus Plus magazine is pleased to exclusively unveil its brand new Fall-Winter 2022 issue. On the agenda, the editorial staff’s shopping, a feature dedicated to eco-responsible gastronomy, but also our practical guide to invest in cryptocurrency in complete security. On the cultural side, the best museum, book and cinema outings of the season, as well as our investigation into the incredible friendship between Basquiat and Andy Warhol.
On the occasion of the holidays, Luxus Plus Mag unveils its last issue of the year 2022. Between business, gastronomy, lifestyle, culture and trends, this issue offers an exclusive look at the highlights of the year, in the wake of the pandemic.
On the cover, the multidisciplinary artist and businessman Pharrell Williams is honored. Through more than eight pages, discover the exceptional career and the outstanding personality of this prolific genius. Music, fashion, design: a look back at all the collaborations that have marked his career.
Our special report on eco-responsible gastronomy highlights the most committed restaurateurs, starred chefs and establishments. This is the case, for example, of Arnaud Donckele, chef of the Cheval Blanc hotel restaurant in Paris, elected best chef in the world by his peers in 2019, who takes us on a journey between haute gastronomy and local products. Through our survey on the new eco-responsible labels, take part in the decisions made by the most visionary personalities of the sector.
Our escapade through the lands of the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region is a real breath of fresh air. Elected international city of gastronomy, the region is full of riches. This subject gives the floor to the producers and actors of the region, who talk to us with pride. Between stories, interviews and recipes, this focus will make your mouth water.
The inspiration pages will transport you to Africa where know-how rhymes with beauty and sustainability. Among them are Lukhanyo Mdingi and Hamaji. Through the photos, admire the beauty of clothing in all its splendor and get to know these young fashion designers. You will also find the new Lemaire collection with its timeless and sophisticated Parisian style. Finally, 032C presents its new collection Guilty which echoes the protection of the oceans.
Even if Christmas has just ended, it’s never too late for gifts. For the latecomers or those lacking inspiration, our colorful shopping pages will help you find the perfect gift: watches, spirits, accessories, leather goods, decorations, etc.
If you are curious and want to discover the glittering world of crypto-currencies, our special crypto guide is just what you need. Your editors have delved into and integrated this world, as interesting as it is complex: crypto-asset regulations, El Salvador’s digital currencies balance sheet, FTX flop or even practical advice on how to avoid anarcs. And to complement and support our words and research, two experts shared their views on the issue: Simon Poulain, journalist specializing in economics and finance and investor, and Alain Bensoussan, lawyer and expert on virtual currencies.
For our big portrait, we chose Benjamin Arabov, CEO of the famous luxury timepiece brand Jacob & Co. Between luxury, know-how and transmission, he talks to us without filter about his experience and his projects for the House.
Our column by Florent Padeleux is dedicated to professionals in the perfume industry who are passionate about their work. Farmers, beekeepers, nurserymen or even flower growers: close your eyes for a second and imagine the scents, as if you were there.
For Petite histoire du luxe, we look back at the tormented and passionate relationship between the pope of pop art, Andy Warhol, and one of the precursors of street art, Jean-Michel Basquiat. Like a roller coaster, their relationship was as short as it was intense. Focus on a unique artistic friendship.
Finally, the last pages of this issue are dedicated to the new cinema releases, culture and key events of the season. The editorial staff has also prepared a selection of beautiful books, to offer or to complete your library.
