We can think of art – beyond the canvases, sculptures and the collectors’ aesthetics – to deﬁne a unique approach towards what we do with our time and efforts. Hence the term ‘art de vivre’ in French, in which all that we welcome into our personal sphere can be considered, lived within a sense of generosity and taste, and in respect of heritage and creativity. Dorchester Collection joins its ten properties by such a sense of art de vivre, a sampling of which we have presented for you here. Enjoy.

In addition, this year is the 140th anniversary of Le Richemond in Geneva, which sees a series of special events occur throughout the year including gastronomic charity dinners. It is also the first anniversary of The Grill at The Dorchester, after last year’s successful renovation. This autumn, we were delighted to open the Parcafé at The Dorchester, a coffee shop located next to the Ballroom on Park Lane. It is a ground-floor space fusing craftsmanship with marbled-wall elegance and floral displays.

Alice Myriam Lahana / Portrait

French lawyer Alice Myriam Lahana want to make justice available to every - “I body,” asserts Myriam Lahana, a glamorous approaches her legal practice like an artisan, and bubbly 38-year-old lawyer in Paris. “I don’t combining hard skill and acute intuition with want to put knowledge solely to the benefit of big companies.” It might sound like a familiar discourse the goal of justice at the core of her work. but Lahana’s CV and decade-long background in lecturing supports her stance. She has taught commercial, finance and banking law at Parisian universities and has a doctorate in civil law. Her diverse professional experience ranges from complex company conflicts to divorce cases, always with the aim of keeping the human dimension and the essence of justice at the core, and driving it to the end result. “Today there are too many laws and one can lose track of the real question at the heart of the case, which is the judicial question,” Lahana says. “If we put that at the heart of the argument, we have more certainty of winning. Too many laws create confusion and give the illusion of being beneficial but actually too many laws suppresses the law.” Law is a profession in which practitioners start to specialise early on. The choice to be an all - round player, with equal knowledge in multiple domains, is “quite rare”, according to Lahana. Yet the advantages are significant. “In certain sectors, such as tourism, one can combine business and civil law so you need experience of both concepts.”

Like Amal Clooney, the human rights barrister mar - ri ed to actor George Clooney, Lahana is much tougher than she looks. “What I want is a strategy, right from the start, that I’ll hold onto until the end. Helping my clients win by finding the just laws certainly takes time…but this is my conception of my profession as a lawyer: defend! Being paid as a result not only motivates me but gives me the energy to shake up reality, which can sometimes be bitter: it’s a question of good health, trying to return to the honour of our word. It’s a real challenge but I don’t see any other one for me!”

Before all, she considers herself a teacher and a researcher. “I continue to study, I am researching permanently. It is my brass shield.” It is her solid lecturing experience that helps her win cases, she believes. “The knowledge of texts requires lucidity but this doesn’t prevent me from relying on my in - tuition,” she says. It is indeed likely this quality that tells the secret of her success. ©

Mia Fonssagrives-Solow / Portrait

Mia Fonssagrives-Solow has been sculpting for over 50 years, from abstract, anamorphic and animal forms in wood to robotic pieces of jewellery using metals. What unites her variety of work is the importance of humour.

ia Fonssagrives-Solow has been immersed M in creativity all her life. The daughter of the French photographer Fernand Fonssagrives and Swedish model Lisa Fonssagrives and stepdaughte r to Irving Penn, she sewed as a child before making sculpture. Her career spanning over five decades, her visceral, sometimes whimsical work, is imbued with wit and playfulness.

In parallel to her larger pieces, Fonssagrives-Solow also makes sculptural jewellery, which is sold at the Gagosian’s shop in New York and at the Galerie Maeght in Paris. For her most recent jewelle ry designs, she explores the subject of robots. The eponymous series is intricate and quirky - imagine a silver ring robot with sparkly red ruby eyes, blue sapphire buttons and sneakers on the feet as just some of her vivacious pieces bursting with person - ality. In deed, she says that she loves humour and looks upon these robots as being characters that are members of her entourage.

Surprisingly, the starting point for these silver and gold-over-bronze pieces was found materials, any -

thing from fruit juice bottles to soccer balls, which J e w e

Fonssagrives-Solow recycled. After achieving the l r y :

right form, she cast them in aluminum or bronze p o o k

in the foundry. Animals have also been a source of b o t

inspiration, leading her to create minotaur chokers p i n ;

and elephant cuffs. e m m e

B o

Equally, her interest in abstrac tion inspired pieces t

C u f

like the puzzle earrings or worry beads on silk cords. f ;

M i

Both sets of series remind how Mia Fonssagrives - n o t a Solow’s early sculptural work comprised abstract , u r ;

anamorphic sculptures in wood and childlike animal o b o t o

sculptures. Ideas from her sculpture feed into her P e n

jewellery, which in turn gives her ideas for larger d a n t ;

pieces. Her latest venture is different again: large- P o r t

At Dorchester Collection, each bar is imbued with the local identity of its own cocktail-making traditions and innovations . Examples include those inspired by South American culture, Pepino’s Revenge, available at Hotel Bel-Air, and the Mexican Margarita at The Beverly Hills Hotel. Both blends are refreshing, zesty drinks to be savoured in a luxuriant, pool- side atmosphere. Recently re-designed by Adam Tihany, the legendary Polo Lounge at The Beverly Hills Hotel offers retreat from Los Angeles’s fast-paced lifestyle. Head to Europe, to Hôtel Plaza Athénée, and taste The Master Flower, or to Le Meurice for The Diva , both emblematic of the City of Lights. These two elegant addresses, each one with its own personality, are regular hot spots for fashion and art aficionados.

The Forbidden Kiss at 45 Park Lane and The Old Tom Martinez at The Dorchester, made with an in-house blend of gin, follow the London tradition of enjoying the traditional British spirit in sumptuous settings. The Bar at The Dorchester is renowned for its opulent interior design by Thierry Despont as well as the menu of new and classic cocktails created by a true alchemist, Giuliano Morandin, head bartender. The n go for The Race Day Cobbler at Coworth Park, the perfect match for the polo- playing and horse-riding tradition of oh-so British art de vivre . In Geneva, Le Richemond recommends a variation of the international classic Martini in the form of The Star Martini to be enjoyed in the Art Deco in terior or on the terrace overlooking the breathtaking lake view and the Swiss Alps. Meanwhile, The Savoia Tonic at Hotel Principe di Savoia in Milan and The Negroni at Hotel Eden in Rome give a new twist to Italian classics, reliving the glamour of Federico Fellini’s mythical La Dolce Vita (1960). Whatever style you decide to sip, each liquid elixir is an invitation to visit an imaginary – or very real – place, time, or personal encounter that is perfectly blended and made for sharing.

Edward Burtynksy — A self-described subliminal activist, the Canadian photographer’s work is a plea for greater responsibility towards our planet.

s a child, Edward Burtynsky listened to his A Ukrainian father’s tales about working on the assembly line at the local General Motors factory in St Catharines, Ontario, Canada. This early exposure to industry influenced his perception of the world and formed his desire to capture what he refers to as “manufactured landscapes”. This is a term he coined for man-made landscapes revealing mankind’s im - pact on the planet. Following an extensive series on oil, mines, China and ship-breaking in Bangladesh, the Canadian photographer embarked on his most ambitious series yet, about water. What began as a commission from National Geographic to do a shoot about the water system of California grew into a five- year-long project that culminated in his book Water, published in 2013. His intensive research led him to ten countries to document how the resource of water has been dramatically altered. The scope of resulting images takes in the Colorado River Delta, fish farms in Mexico, rice terraces in China, rivers in Iceland and the Indian Kumbh Mela festival.

Dissatisfied with ground level imagery, Burtynsky, 60, wanted to take compelling photographs from a bird’s-eye perspective. Although he was mostly shooting from helicopters and light aircraft, he also photographed from cranes, man-lifts and a robotic miniature helicopter. Burtynsky makes his pictures as visually arresting as possible, hoping to stimu - late viewers so that they engage with the greater political meaning behind them. His objective is to use aesthetics to communicate “the lament”, referring to how the supply of water is affected by our consump - tion and manipulation. According to his research, half of the 50,000 rivers that existed in China 50 years ago have disappeared. Having already exhi - bited extensively, most recently at the Palazzo della Ragione in Milan in an exhibition entitled ‘Acqua Shock’, next year Burtynsky will continue to show - case the series in Budapest and Istanbul, and in Ame rican museums in Arizona and Virginia. Edward Burtynsky’s commitment to the arts and humanity goes beyond photography. He is member of the design team of Canada’s National Holocaust Mo - nument, due for completion by the end of 2015. Naturally, his photography fans are impatient to see what body of work he produces next. www.edwardburtynsky.com
