Future classics: Inside Luxury's October issue fashion shoot

Putting the spotlight on the next wave of collectors’ pieces in jewellery, accessories and fragrance

In this month's Luxury shoot, we sought to future-proof wardrobes with timeless pieces that will age gracefully in a palette that will never date.

Neutral tones such as tan and black will fit with any mood, while pops of colour will serve for years. Invest in daytime jewellery in precious yellow and rose gold, and the eternal glitter of diamonds.

We decided to showcase these timeless classics against a backdrop of simple essential items mirroring the understated value of these showpiece products.

The shoot was the brainchild of Luxury's deputy editor and fashion director, Sarah Maisey, who enlisted the photography skills of Vaughan Treyvellan at MMG.

Highlights include a Louis Vuitton black cushioned GO-14 bag complete with silver metalwork spelling out the brand's initials, paired with a selection of Van Cleef & Arpels bracelets in yellow and rose gold with diamonds.

Another shot features a brown leather Hermes Maxi Kelly bag paired with Tom Ford sunglasses, a Fendi watch and a Begum Khan bracelet.

Take inspiration from these timeless classics for a long-lasting wardrobe.

Dr Afridi's warning signs of digital addiction

Spending an excessive amount of time on the phone.

Neglecting personal, social, or academic responsibilities.

Losing interest in other activities or hobbies that were once enjoyed.

Having withdrawal symptoms like feeling anxious, restless, or upset when the technology is not available.

Experiencing sleep disturbances or changes in sleep patterns.

What are the guidelines?

Under 18 months: Avoid screen time altogether, except for video chatting with family.

Aged 18-24 months: If screens are introduced, it should be high-quality content watched with a caregiver to help the child understand what they are seeing.

Aged 2-5 years: Limit to one-hour per day of high-quality programming, with co-viewing whenever possible.

Aged 6-12 years: Set consistent limits on screen time to ensure it does not interfere with sleep, physical activity, or social interactions.

Teenagers: Encourage a balanced approach – screens should not replace sleep, exercise, or face-to-face socialisation.

How the bonus system works

The two riders are among several riders in the UAE to receive the top payment of £10,000 under the Thank You Fund of £16 million (Dh80m), which was announced in conjunction with Deliveroo's £8 billion (Dh40bn) stock market listing earlier this year.

The £10,000 (Dh50,000) payment is made to those riders who have completed the highest number of orders in each market.

There are also riders who will receive payments of £1,000 (Dh5,000) and £500 (Dh2,500).

All riders who have worked with Deliveroo for at least one year and completed 2,000 orders will receive £200 (Dh1,000), the company said when it announced the scheme.
