THE TOP THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT MICHEL REYBIER HOSPITALITY

For more than 20 years, Michel Reybier Hospitality has been rethinking luxury. Far from showiness and ostentation, its approach rests on three values: excellence, authenticity and simplicity. Across its portfolio, from city addresses in Paris, Geneva and Zurich to grand hotels in the Swiss Alps, villas on the French Riviera and private homes in the Indian Ocean, each address is shaped by its destination, with quality always taking precedence over quantity and service tailored to each guest. Its idea of luxury is personal, built on a profound respect for privacy and intimacy and on the discreet, attentive presence of its teams. Each destination keeps its own identity while sharing the same values.

Artist Oscar Chan examines religion, myth and trauma in haunting Hong Kong exhibition

After artist Oscar Chan Yik-long left Hong Kong for Europe – first to Paris, then Helsinki – in 2019, he did not return to the city for many years. Widely considered one of Hong Kong’s most promising young talents, Chan even missed his 2021 solo exhibition – a display of the gothic, monochrome works he is best known for – at Gallery Exit in Aberdeen, Hong Kong, because he could not bring himself to board a long-haul flight. What kept him away was fear. At the time, Chan was suffering from severe...

After US midterms, how bitter political divisions eroded 4 Chinese dynasties

The recent American midterm elections offered yet another glimpse into a political culture increasingly defined by division and hostility. In the state of Ohio, Republican gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy ran an attack advertisement against his Democratic rival, Amy Acton, exploiting painful details of her childhood.

Why minimalist skincare is replacing the 10-step routine

Some time in the last decade the bathroom shelf turned into a filing system. A cleanser for the morning and a different one for the evening; an acid on Tuesday, a retinol on Wednesday – and a barrier cream for the two nights afterwards, while your face recovers from the first two.

But Vecchio, an emergency room nurse based in Fort Pierce, in the US state of Florida, says the symptoms eased when she began a cocktail of supplements that included fibre, collagen and electrolytes, a haul that costs US$200 to US$300 a month. “You really...
