ANAX Developments Unveils ELLE Residences Dubai Islands Marking a new Era of Luxury Branded Residencesp

ANAX Developments, one of Dubai’s most dynamic luxury developers, has unveiled ELLE Residences, its latest landmark project redefining branded living in the region. Slated for completion by Q3 2027, this stunning project marks a new era of branded residences in the heart of Dubai Islands. Following the success of its first residential tower in Miami, ELLE, owned by the Lagardère Group, has partnered with ANAX Developments to create its branded residences portfolio in the Middle East, for the very first time. This landmark collaboration combines ELLE’s global lifestyle ethos with ANAX’s deep understanding of Dubai’s evolving luxury market, creating a new flagship project that is set to become a cultural and architectural icon for the region.

The launch event delivered an unforgettable evening of world-class entertainment and glamour, featuring international highlights and show-stopping runway moments. Guests were captivated by electrifying performances that continued late into the night.

Satish Sanpal, Founder and Chairman of ANAX Holding, commented: “Dubai is a city that thrives on creativity, ambition, and global appeal, and this is exactly what ELLE Residences Dubai Islands represents. This partnership is about so much more than introducing an international icon to the region. It is about creating a development that reflects the essence of Dubai. We want to create homes that speak to the rhythm of life here – bold, connected, and always evolving. ELLE is a celebrated brand that embodies individuality and style. We are building a destination that captures the same joy and possibility that defines Dubai. This project reflects a lifestyle that resonates with the city’s spirit; contemporary, vibrant, and full of opportunity.”

Developed under a licensing agreement with Lagardère News (an entity of the Lagardère Group), ELLE Residences Dubai Islands will embody the brand’s forward-looking approach to lifestyle living. The project is designed around ELLE’s unique signature; a blend of contemporary style, self-expression, and cultural sophistication, rooted in everyday style.

Constance Benqué, CEO of ELLE International and Lagardère News, commented:
“ELLE stands for innovation, style, and cultural relevance. ELLE’s expansion into Dubai showcases the city’s position as one of the most exciting destinations for branded residences in the world. Dubai has become a global capital for luxury living, and ELLE Residences Dubai Islands will set a new benchmark for what branded residences can deliver. This launch is a milestone in ELLE’s journey, and we are proud to bring ELLE lifestyle vision to such a dynamic and globally influential market. The goal is to create a destination that celebrates joy, individuality, and the contemporary spirit that has always defined ELLE.”

“At ANAX Developments, we are proud to bring this landmark project to life on Dubai Islands, the city’s most coveted and ambitious new waterfront destination,” said Ravi Bhirani, Managing Director of ANAX Developments. “Our residences offer direct beachfront access, sweeping sea views, and unmatched proximity to retail, cultural, and world-class leisure amenities. We believe this project will redefine Dubai’s new era, where fashion, lifestyle, and real estate converge to create something truly extraordinary.”

Featuring a collection of 91 beautiful apartments and seven stunning townhouses, each thoughtfully designed to combine privacy, space and spectacular views, the project will be an investor’s delight and a homeowner’s pride. Priced between AED 3,200 and AED 3,600 per square feet, the project will offer a range of intimate one-bedroom residences to expansive four-bedroom townhouses spanning up to 4,592 sq ft. Every home has been created to frame the sea and skyline through floor-to-ceiling glazing and wraparound terraces. Whether a seasonal retreat or a year-round address, the layouts balance open-plan living with private escapes – a rarity in Dubai’s luxury residential market.

The apartments and townhouses are being brought to life by two internationally acclaimed design firms; The One Atelier, renowned for its work with leading global fashion houses on luxury branded residences such as Dolce & Gabbana, Fendi Casa and Karl Lagerfeld and ARQUINAUT, the creative studio acting as a consultant for ELLE Residences concept.

Interiors draw on ELLE’s five pillars of fashion, beauty, culture, lifestyle and society to create spaces that feel curated and completely unique. Expect sculptural fireplaces, bespoke wallpapers, bronze accents and marble alongside soft, layered lighting and art that pays homage to the city’s vibrant and contemporary scene. ELLE Residences Dubai Islands is designed as a wellness-driven community where rooftop pools and sunlit terraces capture panoramic Gulf view and curated spaces. From private spas and yoga decks to landscaped gardens and social lounges offering sanctuary and connection. A 24-hour concierge, valet and security ensure seamless service, while the amenities are tailored for balance, beauty and belonging.

Michele Galli, CEO of The One Atelier, commented:

“This project represents the very best of design, culture, and lifestyle in the region. At The One Atelier, our vision is to create bespoke experiences for residents, where spaces cultivate a meaningful connection with their surroundings. With ELLE Residences Dubai Islands, we set out to translate ELLE’s individuality and sophistication into design that resonates with Dubai’s unique energy, where every detail reflects both the spirit of the brand and the cosmopolitan rhythm of the city. We believe this project will redefine branded living in the Middle East, setting a new benchmark for how intelligent, considered architecture and design can inspire confidence, self-expression, and a true sense of belonging.”

Living at ELLE Residences Dubai Islands is about embracing a lifestyle as iconic as the brand itself. It’s a world where every detail is designed to inspire confidence, connection, and joy. It’s an invitation to live your own cover story. The result is a collection of homes that feel as though they belong on the pages of a magazine.

With sales officially opening 26 September 2025, ELLE Residences Dubai Islands signals the start of a bold new chapter in the region’s property market: a project that is dynamic, culturally attuned and distinctly Dubai.

LOUIS VUITTON FANTASMAGORY FRAGRANCE via Vaughn Lowery + 360 MAGAZINE.

LOUIS VUITTON FANTASMAGORY FRAGRANCE

Louis Vuitton’s Fantasmagory is the newest fragrance in the Maison’s Les Extraits Collection. A partnership between the Maison’s Master Perfumer, Jacques Cavallier Belletrud, and the visionary architect Frank Gehry, this exceptional concentration of fragrance offers a deep, radical, and profound rewriting of the Extraits codes. 

Louis Vuitton’s journey to the extraordinary begins with a monumental perfume ingredient: vanilla. Notes of misty anise and gentle floral, leather inflexions are set loose by the use of tahitensis vanilla from Papua New Guinea. Pulp from the whole vanilla pod is cryogenically frozen prior to CO2 extraction, resulting in absolute aromatic purity. Adding texture to this radiant power, almonds from Italy conjure up the creaminess of amaretto. The striking freshness of CO2-extracted ginger provides the ensemble with contrast. Sparkling, citrus-tinged facets build up to a spice that smoulders rather than burns.

Frank Gehry ventures into a new territory in his sculptural odyssey: the fragrance bottle. Reshaping the bottle’s curves, he softened its edges, captured its radiance, and crafted a cap reminiscent of an imagined, wind-blown flower. He breathed fluid, whirling movement into the iconic apothecary bottle designed by Marc Newson. Its remodelled glass shows off a bright, soft, and modern yellow-hued fragrance, glinting with hints of green. As a final flourish, the cap transforms into fluttering silver petals.

The fragrance is now available in select stores and online.

SAG-AFTRA Announces American Scene Awards Recipients

Sinners and Colors: A Dialogue on Race in America Podcast Among the Honorees

SAG-AFTRA announced the film Sinners and Colors: A Dialogue on Race in America podcast as two of the recipients for its seventh biennial SAG-AFTRA American Scene Awards. The awards honor productions that exemplify the best of diverse and inclusive entertainment, music, and news. 

The presentation was hosted by What We Do in the Shadows co-stars Harvey Guillén and Kristen Schaal and is available to view online now on SAG-AFTRA’s YouTube channel. The show features American Sign Language interpretation and is available with closed captions and audio description.

American Scene Awards honorees are selected for their work in championing diversity and inclusivity by highlighting the talents and telling the stories of underrepresented or misrepresented groups. Recipients are determined based on authenticity, excellence, and impact. These are the only awards bestowed by the union to specifically celebrate employers who value diversity in all its forms.

The American Scene Awards hosts paid tribute to pioneering broadcast journalist Belva Davis, who died Sept. 24 at 92. In 1966, Davis became the first African American woman to become a television reporter on the U.S. West Coast. She would go on to serve her union as a National Board member and vice president. The SAG-AFTRA American Scene Award for broadcasters was named in her honor in 2013.

Recipients are recognized across three union contract categories: Entertainment, Music & Sound Recordings, and News & Broadcast. 

Entertainment
Recipient: Sinners – Warner Bros. Pictures / Domain Entertainment / Proximity Media
Nominees: Reservation Dogs – FX on Hulu and Wicked – Universal Pictures

Music & Sound Recordings
Recipient:
I Lied to YouSinners Soundtrack – Warner Bros. Pictures / Domain Entertainment / Proximity Media
Nominees: Abracadabra by Lady Gaga – Universal Music Group and Anxiety by Doechii – Universal Music Group

Belva Davis News & Broadcast Award
Recipient: Colors: A Dialogue on Race in America (podcast) – JJ Green & WTOP
Nominees: Chasing the Watermelon Man – KCRW and New in Class: The Migrant Experience – WGN News

“The American Scene Awards shine a light on those who open doors and create opportunities for storytellers from all backgrounds, and I couldn’t be happier for this year’s winners and finalists. These projects remind us that when our industry embraces the full spectrum of humanity, we not only tell better stories, but we build a better future. Congratulations to all!” said SAG-AFTRA President Sean Astin.

“These employers and creators are leading by example, showing the world that authentic representation truly matters, and that inclusivity is not only the right thing to do, but makes our industry stronger and more vibrant because of it,” said SAG-AFTRA National Diversity Advisory Committee Chair Jason George.

“Fair representation is at the heart of what our union stands for. It is essential as an industry that we recognize the work of employers who have made diversity and authenticity a priority, ensuring that all communities see themselves reflected with dignity and respect,” said SAG-AFTRA National Executive Director & Chief Negotiator Duncan Crabtree-Ireland.

The recipients expressed their gratitude in being recognized for their work: 

“Thank you to SAG-AFTRA for the honor of choosing us,” said Sinners producers Ryan Coogler, Zinzi Coogler and Sev Ohanian. “Our dream was to make something unique that pushed genre boundaries while reminding audiences that even in the most difficult times, there is still beauty, love, art and community. On behalf of everyone who poured their heart into this film, thank you again.”

“Thank you so much to SAG-AFTRA for this incredible honor,” said Sinners film composer Ludwig Göransson. “This award celebrates the collaboration of every artist who gave their soul to Sinners, a film that is both a cinematic songbook, an ode to blues and the culture that created it.”

“Words can’t fully express my gratitude to SAG-AFTRA for honoring Colors,” said WTOP’s JJ Green. “This project was born out of heartbreak — out of the unbearable grief and desperation that followed the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis. My colleagues and I created this show to turn that pain into purpose, to give voice to what so many were feeling but couldn’t say. I dedicate this honor to George Floyd, to his family and to every person still fighting for justice in his name.”

The American Scene Awards are presented as part of SAG-AFTRA’s biennial convention, and are overseen by the union’s National Diversity Advisory and National Honors & Tributes committees.

Helicline Fine Art at The Salon: Art + Design

Helicline Fine Art makes its art fair debut at The Salon: Art + Design, which begins next week, November 6 – 10, at the Park Avenue Armory. The gallery will bring several artworks from its most astonishing 1,000-piece collection of 1939 World’s Fair art and objects. The museum-quality archive, embodying the “World of Tomorrow,” bridges fine art, design, and history.

The presentation arrives at a moment of renewed cultural attention for the Fair — coinciding with Tom Hanks’ new play “That World of Tomorrow” at The Shed and The Wolfsonian–FIU’s World’s Fair exhibition in Miami.

Founded by Keith Sherman and Roy Goldberg, Helicline Fine Art is devoted to American and European Modernism, particularly WPA-era art from the 1930s and ’40s. For more than 30 years, the couple has championed artists who depicted the rhythms of modern life with humanity, optimism, and grit. Their debut at The Salon marks a personal milestone, and their first foray sharing a remarkable collection that personifies a mostly lost generation of art.

The 1939 World’s Fair Collection

The 1,000-piece collection includes paintings, drawings, sculptures, photographs, posters, ephemera and design objects that captured a nation’s belief in progress and modernity following the Great Depression.

Coming to The Salon:

  • Chester Beach’s Riders of the Elements – a monumental symbol of human progress that towered 42’ over the Fairgrounds, the original 84” tall plaster maquette is the crown glory of the collection. Because the plaster is so large, the gallerists commissioned a 42” bronze reduction and will display the bronze at the Park Avenue Armory along with some paintings.
  • Fine Art – The collection includes dozens of fine artworks. Helicline is also bringing two paintings, pictured below) to the Armory. A Harry Lane scene of the Fair under construction and a Walter L. Green painting of the GE Pavilion. The collection includes works by Ilya Bolotowsky, Al Hirschfeld, Pavel Tchelitchev, Augusta Savage, among others.

“The 1939 World’s Fair, emerging from the Depression and on the verge of WWII, celebrated hope, innovation, and resilience,” says Keith Sherman. “It’s where television, air conditioning, nylon stockings and the calculator were first introduced. Considering new plays, art exhibitions and more, the Fair remains alive today.”

Also, on View at The Salon: WPA Era and Modern Art

In addition, Helicline will display a selection of WPA-era paintings, works on paper, and sculptures by both well-known and rediscovered artists of the 1930s and ’40s. Some of the artists include: Thomas Hart Benton, Charles Burchfield, Daniel Celentano, Stuart Davis, Guy Pene du Bois, Ludwig Bemelmans, Max Kalish, Dale Nichols, Arthur Dove, Charles Demuth, Reginald Marsh, Trew Hocker, Ernest Fiene, and several others.

“Our hearts have always been in the WPA period.” adds Roy Goldberg. “Following one of America’s most terrible times our government paid artists to create. It was a statement of optimism and possibility – values that still resonate today.”

ROLLS-ROYCE PRESENTS CULLINAN COSMOS

CELEBRATE THE DRAMA OF SPACE

Rolls-Royce debuts Cullinan Cosmos, a one-of-one commission inspired by space

•First Rolls-Royce to feature a fully hand-painted Starlight Headliner

•Headliner created over 160 hours by an in-house artist

•Bespoke details include a unique Star Cluster motif

“We wanted to create something our family would remember forever: a Rolls-Royce that captures the
essence of the cosmos and shows that no dream is out of reach.”—Commissioning Client, Cullinan Cosmos

“Space travel has long fascinated our commissioning clients. For the Bespoke Collective, this project
pushed us into new territory with the first hand-painted Starlight Headliner. Bold in conception and spectacular in execution, Cullinan Cosmos shows how Rolls-Royce transforms clients’ visions into reality with precision and artistry.”—Phil Fabre de la Grange, Head of Bespoke, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars

A Cosmic Vision Realized

Rolls-Royce introduces Cullinan Cosmos, a one-of-one commission inspired by the wonders of outer space.

Created for a family who shares a passion for the universe with their young son, the SUV showcases an array of bespoke details. Its centerpiece is a Rolls-Royce first: a fully hand-
painted Starlight Headliner, developed over 160 hours by one of the marque’s in-house artists.

The SUV shines in Arabescato Pearl, a finish that recalls moonlight against a midnight sky. A hand-painted twin coachline in Charles Blue and an Illuminated Spirit of Ecstasy complete the cosmic
theme, glowing like a distant star at night.

Interior: Inner Space

Inside, Cullinan Cosmos offers a serene environment inspired by the stillness of deep space. Seats
recline in Charles Blue and Grace White leather, accented with contrast stitching and piping.

Piano White veneers add a crisp, technical touch reminiscent of satellite casings.

The commissioning family collaborated with Rolls-Royce designers to craft a bespoke Star

Cluster motif, which appears as embroidery on the door panels and headrests and as a hand-painted fascia artwork.

Starlight Headliner: New Horizons

The hand-painted Starlight Headliner sets a new standard for bespoke design. Painted entirely freehand, it portrays the Milky Way as a luminous band of stars and cosmic mist, graded in colors that harmonize with the interior palette.

The artist applied more than 20 layers of acrylic paint with a mix of brushes to create depth and texture. For the lightest pigment layers, the artist used a make-up brush, allowing the colors to settle softly. Fine brushes and a speckling technique added a natural star-like shimmer. Once finished and sealed, fiber-optic perforations were individually punched and aligned by hand to enhance the artwork.

CARTIER UNVEILS NEWLY RENOVATED + EXPANDED BOUTIQUE

Cartier announced the reopening of its newly designed and expanded regional flagship boutique in the Miami Design District, home of rich traditions and vibrant artistic energy. 

Located at 147 NE 39th Street, the boutique offers a full range of the Maison’s most celebrated creations, including jewelry, fine jewelry, watches, leather goods, fragrance, and accessories. Like Miami, the boutique thrives on constant reinvention, deep cultural immersion, and exceptional service that goes above and beyond.

As guests approach the boutique, they are greeted by a stunning façade designed by longtime Cartier collaborators Diller Scofidio + Renfro. Elizabeth Diller, Founding Partner, shares, “It’s a privilege to continue our dialogue with Cartier with Miami’s flagship opening in the heart of the Design District. We conceived the wraparound façade in undulating glass to draw in passersby while knitting together the store and the street. Etched on its surface is a pattern adapted from a 1909 Cartier brooch, which produces a diaphanous effect, allowing views into the store while preserving its sense of mystique.”

Upon entering the boutique, guests are immersed in a supernatural oasis, imagined by interior designer Laura Gonzalez and inspired by the deep and rich cultural heritage of Miami. Guests are immediately greeted with the vibrant, colorful space that captures Miami’s beautiful, natural landscape as well as the flora and fauna reflected in Cartier’s iconic creations.

Each floor is connected by an enchanting seashell staircase, accompanying guests through the boutique and paying homage to the palm trees, mangroves, and ocean life of Miami. Venturing further into the space, leaf motifs climb columns to the ceiling on the first floor while the ground floor features organic shapes and bright colors. Finally, the outdoor roof terrace opens to sunny skies, where the oasis continues with verdant plants and colorful tiles. Throughout the boutique, guests will feel the joyful, artistic and creative energy of Miami.

Gonzalez adds, “I imagined the store as a sensory journey. Each space evokes a different emotion: vitality and movement at the entrance, intimacy in the VIP lounges on the first floor, conviviality on the terrace with its welcoming, custom-made wavy benches. The entire journey is designed as a succession of landscapes intended to arouse curiosity and wonder.”

The Cartier Miami Design District boutique is open Sunday from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m., and Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.

AVVENN UNVEILS SPRING/SUMMER 2026 COLLECTION AT PARIS FASHION WEEK SHOWROOM 

“RESILIENT GROWTH”

AVVENN unveiled its Spring/Summer 2026 collection, Resilient Growth, which debuted at Shanghai Fashion Week on October 13, 2025. The latest release from the brand introduces 80 new curated styles that continue to bring to life AVVENN’s commitment to the art of balance.

Drawing inspiration from the nüxia – a legendary female warrior in Chinese culture – the collection reimagines her chivalric spirit into a modern vocabulary of style. Through streamlined silhouettes, nuanced tailoring, and the interplay of diverse materials, Resilient Growth embodies the independence and versatility of today’s urban woman, translating her strength into an avantgarde narrative within a contemporary context.

Anchored in AVVENN’s signature neutral color palette, the season is elevated by fresh highlights in vivid tones introduced across four drops:

  • Drop 1: Bold tomato red with delicate pink, balancing intensity and softness.
  • Drop 2: Glaucous blue (a grey-tinged pastel) enlivened by playful polka dots.
  • Drops 3 & 4: Mango mint green paired with beechwood brown, evoking a dialogue between natural landscapes and urban life.

Materials chosen for the season reflect AVVENN’s ethos of balance and contrast. Fine suiting wools meet relaxed linen knits; delicate wools are offset with textured fancy fabrics; and signature highlights include devoré and openwork embroideries. Knitwear underscores vitality through multi-yarn experimentation, while bamboo-based textiles debut this season as woven textures that embody both strength and softness. Fine wool and ramie further enhance the collection, fusing urban sophistication with resort sensibilities.

Aesthetic direction draws inspiration from Tang Dynasty literature, The Tale of Hongxian, where chivalric imagery meets botanical prints and amber-brown accents, creating a restrained yet avant-garde sensibility.

The collection’s narrative extends with two distinctive capsules:

  • The 902 Capsule, inspired by Dunhuang frescoes, where scrollwork and paisley motifs flow in rhythmic harmony.
  • The Little Bamboo Horse Capsule, debuting a hand-drawn horse motif that reinterprets festive Eastern symbols with vivid, free-spirited expression.

The nüxia is not only an identity but also a way of life – reserved, understated, yet revealing strength when it matters most. This has always been the woman AVVENN seeks to embody: power in restraint. With Spring 2026, we imbue simplicity with deeper narratives, continuing the evolution of our vision for contemporary women,” says Marshall, Head designer.

The AVVENN Spring/Summer 2026 Collection will be available beginning January 2026 at select international retailers and online at www.avvenn.com.

Dynamyte, a rising artist, has released an empowering single titled Picket Fence Life via 360 MAGAZINE.

Dynamyte Releases New Single + Video – Picket Fence Life

‘Dynamyte is dynamism! She’s an innovative ingenue who is carefree and unapologetic about her sexuality. Damon Sharpe, a Grammy winner, is the producer of this Ivy League graduate’s debut album, which is unique and beats to no one’s drum. Her artistic flair and creative crooning are what make her stand out as an exceptional musician and instrumentalist.’Vaughn Lowery, 360 MAGAZINE

Dynamyte, a rising artist, has released an empowering single titled Picket Fence Life.
Her soulful mix of R&B, neo-soul, and bold storytelling is carried through in the third single from her forthcoming debut album.

Today, all digital platforms have access to “Picket Fence Life,” the newest single from rising artist Dynamyte, which is also accompanied by a music video.

Following the success of her previous singles Checkmate and Probably, both celebrated by outlets like TMRW Magazine, Atwood Magazine, and The Blast, Dynamyte returns with a vibrant, introspective track that captures her evolution as both an artist and a storyteller.

Picket Fence Life explores themes of independence, contentment, and the freedom to define happiness on your own terms. “I’ve never been someone to chase after love,” says Dynamyte. “I’ve always been the type to build my own world and keep moving, even when people expect you to be searching for ‘the one.’ This song is about being content on your own and dancing to the beat of your own drum.”

Blending classic R&B, sultry neo-soul, and sharp pop hooks, Dynamyte’s newest release is both soulful and refreshingly self-aware. The artistry that has defined her sound can be seen in the effortless glide of her warm vocals over rhythmic percussion and smooth instrumentation.

Dynamyte, a rising artist, has released an empowering single titled Picket Fence Life via 360 MAGAZINE.

“This track is more of a reflection on why I am the way I am, and how choosing freedom can sometimes feel safer than falling for someone,” she explains. “I think a lot of people, especially women, are told that happiness comes from finding a partner or settling down. But for me, the idea of the ‘picket fence life’ had always sounded boring. I have since met the most amazing girl, and we’ve been together now for almost a year, so I might have changed my tune on this a bit since writing it.”

With Picket Fence Life, Dynamyte continues to expand her audience by pairing emotional honesty with her signature musical sophistication. The single arrives at an exciting time in her career, as she continues building toward her highly anticipated debut album, slated for release in early 2026.

Currently, Dynamyte is the spokesperson for Pacer Center.

2025 Lamborghini Day Japan - Fenomeno Debut via Vaughn Lowery + 360 MAGAZINE.

2025 Lamborghini Day Japan – Fenomeno Debut

Lamborghini Day Japan 2025 ignites Tokyo with the Asia Pacific debut of the Fenomeno and an exclusive Ad Personam Revuelto

Tokyo lit up in Lamborghini style as Automobili Lamborghini hosted Lamborghini Day Japan 2025, transforming Ariake Urban Sports Park — originally created for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games — into a stage for passion, performance and design. More than 500 owners, media, and fans across Japan and Asia Pacific region gathered for an unforgettable celebration of the brand’s innovation and driving emotion.

The stunning parade of more than 100 Lamborghinis began at Umi-no-Mori Park, located on Tokyo’s waterfront. Journeying past cultural landmarks such as the Kabuki-za Theater and through the vibrant district of Ginza, and crossing the Rainbow Bridge against the city’s skyline, the parade highlighted Lamborghini’s unmistakable presence and elegance, culminating in a spectacular arrival at Ariake Urban Sports Park.

“Celebrating Lamborghini Day 2025 in Tokyo is truly special — a city where heritage and innovation come together in a way that perfectly reflects the spirit of our brand. Japan has always been one of Lamborghini’s most passionate markets, with a deep appreciation for craftsmanship, precision, and design. Tonight’s event was not only a showcase of our latest models and sustainable innovations but also a chance to share this incredible energy with our loyal community of enthusiasts.” said Stephan Winkelmann, Chairman and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini.

The evening also marked the Asia Pacific premiere of two extraordinary models: the Fenomeno, Lamborghini’s most powerful V12 ‘Few Off’ model, and a Revuelto Ad Personam, a bespoke special configuration highlighting the pinnacle of Lamborghini’s customization program.

The Fenomeno is a few-off limited edition of just 29 units. Beyond its exclusive design and bespoke aerodynamics, the Fenomeno is equipped with the most powerful V12 in Lamborghini’s history, paired with three electric motors. 

Its powertrain combines an 835 CV naturally aspirated V12 with three electric motors delivering an additional 245 CV, achieving a total output of 1,080 CV. The car accelerates from 0–100 km/h in just 2.4 seconds and reaches a top speed of 350 km/h. Defined by an extraordinary and unprecedented level of power, the Fenomeno allows the driver can fully harness its potential through pioneering technical solutions introduced for the first time on a Lamborghini, including the 6D sensor and CCM-R Plus carbon-ceramic brakes. Featuring a lightweight carbon-fiber monocoque chassis with superior aerodynamics, the Fenomeno embodies the fusion of 100% Italian design tradition with cutting-edge technologies to deliver an unparalleled driving experience.

Debuting alongside it, an exclusive Revuelto Ad Personam, equipped with a naturally aspirated V12 engine that represents Lamborghini’s heritage and emotion, while its three electric motors symbolize the brand’s forward-looking innovation— two souls united in harmony. 

Its exterior showcases a longitudinal gradient finish transitioning from Bianco Asopo (white) to Rosso Khonsu (red), a bold evolution first presented in Japan. This is the first time a longitudinal fading effect has been used on a Lamborghini vehicle, marking a significant innovation in exterior design. This chromatic progression forms a striking visual statement, drawing inspiration from Japanese culture, where white and red symbolize celebration and auspiciousness. Within the Lamborghini universe, these same colors take on a deeper meaning: white stands for timelessness and elegance, while red embodies sportiness and performance — two inseparable and essential traits of the brand’s DNA. Echoing both the national flag and traditional aesthetics, the color palette conveys a union of performance, innovation and elegance, a true testament to Lamborghini’s artistry and vision.

Inside, the Revuelto Ad Personam reveals a cabin designed to evoke emotion through craftsmanship and contrast. For the first time, the interior is divided into two contrasting hemispheres, symbolizing the car’s dual soul. The central tunnel becomes the axis of this division, enhanced by a start & stop flap painted with a longitudinal fading effect too that echoes the exterior and showcases Lamborghini’s artisanal mastery. Further emphasizing this duality, the cabin features contrasting thread colors: white on the passenger side and red on the driver’s side. The “ANIMAE” embroidery and the brake calipers invert this scheme; with white stitching on the red side and red stitching on the white side, creating a visual interplay that highlights the essential presence of one in the other.

Ariake Urban Sports Park represents a forward-thinking approach to sustainable urban design, using temporary structures that minimize environmental impact and promote adaptive use of space. These values echo Lamborghini’s commitment to sustainable mobility — from hybridization across its model range to innovations in lightweight materials and energy-efficient production. As a brand shaping the future of performance with responsibility, Lamborghini finds a fitting stage in a venue that embodies flexibility, innovation, and environmental awareness.

Amid a striking display of Lamborghini’s legendary icons, a lineup of few-off masterpieces — the Reventón, inspired by cutting-edge fighter jet design; the Centenario, created in the quest for perfection and to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Ferruccio Lamborghini; the Sián, introducing the Lamborghini’s first hybrid technology and marking the dawn of electrification; and the Countach LPI 800-4, a contemporary tribute to the legendary Countach — came together to set the stage for the debut of the Fenomeno, showcasing Lamborghini’s heritage and innovation.

In the outdoor area, Lamborghini presented its most complete super sports car lineup, bringing together three hybrid models — the Revuelto[1], Temerario[2], and Urus SE[3] —showcasing the key milestones in the Direzione Cor Tauri strategy toward a sustainable future. With the introduction of the Temerario, Lamborghini becomes the first brand in the super sports car segment to achieve a fully hybridized line-up, setting a new benchmark.

The dedicated Off-Road area featured the Urus SE, the Huracán Sterrato, and the legendary LM002, highlighting Lamborghini’s pioneering spirit in off-road performance and versatility beyond traditional on-road capabilities.

Marking its 10th anniversary, the Lamborghini Polo Storico display celebrated the brand’s heritage with the unique Miura SVR — the legendary Miura reimagined in a racing specification. Meanwhile, the Centro Stile design studio, led by Design Director Mitja Borkert, brought the brand’s design philosophy to life through a creative showcase, featuring an exclusive live sketch of the few-off model, Fenomeno.

Adding to the innovation, guests explored the Temerario through a virtual reality showcase powered by Apple Vision Pro. This state-of-the-art presentation offered an immersive look into the car’s design language and future vision, underscoring Lamborghini’s ongoing commitment to digital innovation and next-generation automotive experiences.

Complementing the automotive displays, Lamborghini collaborated with its official brand partners to enrich the lifestyle experience. Italian premium coffee brand Lavazza brought refined elegance and taste to the evening, delighting guests with special coffee creations, while champagne maison Champagne Carbon served its signature cuvée. Swiss luxury watchmaker Roger Dubuis presents an exquisite fusion of craftsmanship, cutting-edge technology, and refined luxury, alongside the Huracán Super Trofeo EVO2, which it sponsors, reflecting its commitment to the world of motorsport.
