As part of the 16th edition of the HH Sheikh Mansoor Bin Zayed Al Nahyan Racing Festival, La Teste de Buch Hippodrome in France will host highly anticipated races on July 10, 2024. Featuring five Arabian races, including four group races and the celebrated Wathba Stallions Cup, all under the auspices of the Sheikh Mansoor Bin Zayed Al Nahyan Racing Festival.

This annual festival plays an important role in promoting Arabian horse racing on a global scale, celebrating and preserving the sport’s rich heritage and traditions. The event will showcase high-profile races and distinguished participants, including the Société Hippique Française (SHF), demonstrating their expertise and the exceptional excellence of the French equestrian sector.


Société Hippique Française – SHF : A Highlight of Tradition and Excellence
The Société Hippique Française, established in 1865 and accredited by the Ministry of Agriculture, is a pivotal association in the realm of sport and leisure horse and pony breeding. SHF plays a vital role in organizing events that unite stakeholders in the production, enhancement, and marketing of young horses and ponies. Their participation in the Sheikh Mansoor Bin Zayed Al Nahyan Racing Festival further emphasizes the event’s prestige and highlights the significance of French equine expertise on an international stage.

Excellence of French Genetic Heritage
SHF is renowned for its superior equine genetic heritage, breeding distinguished breeds such as the French Saddle Horse, Anglo-Arab, Arabian, and French Riding Pony. At the festival, SHF will showcase these purebred horses, demonstrating French expertise in selection and care. French horses, known for their beauty and performance, are a testament to meticulous breeding traditions that combine carefully selected lineages and advanced breeding techniques, earning them an international reputation. This event provides SHF with an opportunity to display how their breeding meets the high standards demanded by Emirati and regional buyers.

With over 33,000 breeders and owners of mares in 2022, the equine sector is essential in France, generating 66,000 primary activity jobs nationwide. The French equine industry’s prowess was further demonstrated when the French team won the world championship title in 2023 with 100% French horses.

French Breeding Excellence and Endurance at SHF’s Grand Events
The Société Hippique Française organizes two major events that offer exceptional opportunities for breeders, owners, riders, and buyers to engage with the vibrant equine sector:

The Grand Week of Fontainebleau: From August 22 to September 1, this event features 1,850 horses (mainly French Saddle Horse “Selle Français”) aged 2 to 7 years competing in breeding, show jumping, and hunter style competitions. It is a cornerstone event that showcases the finest young horses and ponies, offering a unique platform for networking and collaboration. With the approach of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, this event gains additional significance, serving as a prelude to the equestrian events at the Olympics, highlighting France’s dedication to equine excellence on the world stage.

The Grand Endurance Week in Lignières-en-Berry: Held from October 11 to 13, this event gathers young arabian and anglo-arabian horses from the French Equestrian Society. It highlights the endurance and versatility of these horses, reflecting the meticulous breeding and training traditions upheld by SHF. This event also aligns with the upcoming Olympic spirit, showcasing the stamina and resilience required in competitive equestrian sports.

These events are very important moments in the equine calendar, fostering a vibrant community and offering unparalleled opportunities for engagement.

Unique Expertise for the Emirati Market
SHF highlights its expertise in breeding, training, and enhancement by engaging with the Emirati equine market, fostering stronger ties between the French equine sector and the UAE. The Gulf countries, particularly the UAE, play a significant role in this sector through the purchase of purebred French horses, renowned for their endurance, elegance, and performance. SHF’s long tradition and globally recognized expertise in selecting lineages and providing high-quality care are instrumental in meeting the needs of the Emirati market.

The HH Sheikh Mansoor Bin Zayed Al Nahyan Racing Festival in France underscores the deep cultural exchange between the UAE and France, aiming to strengthen bilateral relations and enhance the global appeal of Arabian horse racing. SHF is honored to participate in the event, showcasing French expertise in equine breeding and highlighting the importance of international cooperation in the equestrian world.

The Art Basel Shop will debut on June 11, coinciding with the fair’s opening to the public, while VIP previews of the fair will commence on June 10. The store promises to offer an array of exclusive and unique edition collectables, clothing, design pieces, and published works.

Andelman is celebrated for her pioneering approach to retail, which seamlessly blends art, fashion, and design. Her recent successful collaborations with French luxury brands such as Diptyque and Le Bon Marché, an LVMH-owned department store, highlight her expertise in creating unique retail experiences. This new venture with Art Basel is expected to bring her signature touch of innovation and style to the art fair’s audience.

In a press release, Art Basel’s Chief Growth Officer Hayley Romer articulated the vision behind this new retail initiative.

She noted that this venture is a strategic move to broaden Art Basel’s appeal and enhance its brand presence in the art and luxury sectors.

Romer, who joined Art Basel in September, has a distinguished background in luxury advertising and media. Her previous roles include publisher and chief revenue officer of Atlantic Media, head of luxury advertising at Forbes Media, and executive director of corporate sales at Condé Nast. Her extensive experience in these positions underscores her capability to lead this new initiative and expand Art Basel’s footprint in the lifestyle market.

The Art Basel Shop will feature various items under the brand AB by Art Basel. These include memorabilia, apparel, and collaborative products with artists. Noteworthy items include a wooden replica of the Jean-Michel Basquiat Ferris Wheel from the Luna Luna theme park and skateboard decks adorned with designs by Cindy Sherman, available as solo, diptych, or triptych sets. Additionally, a range of products will be available in collaboration with artists like Christine Sun Kim, further highlighting the store’s commitment to unique and artistically significant offerings.

Take a unique visual journey as we explore the fascinating world of Gray Malin, a pioneering photographer whose lens acts as a portal to a place where fantasy and reality collide.

From Garage Sales to Helicopter Rides

Imagine this: a small 10 × 10 stall, a humming Sunday market, and Gray Malin with nothing except his love of photography. What started out as a modest attempt to share his artistic talent with the world has grown into a worldwide sensation that is pushing the limits of modern photography.

An Inclusive Canvas

With a brilliant insight, Malin saw that art needed to become more accessible to the general public, closing the gap between galleries and the general public. He transcends cultural boundaries and fosters a sense of collective awe by inviting spectators from all walks of life to immerse themselves in his entrancing creations through the infusion of inclusivity into his work.

Wanderlust on Wings

Get ready to go on an exciting journey as we follow Malin’s nomadic lifestyle. His nomadic travels, which take him from the sun-kissed beaches of Hawaii to the untamed landscapes of Australia, encapsulate the spirit of wanderlust and provide a seductive window into a world where every corner seems full of opportunity.

Beyond the Frame: A Revolution in Lifestyle

Malin, however, is a visionary entrepreneur with an inventive eye in addition to being a talented photographer. With a brilliant move, he turned his artwork into a lifestyle company that sells carefully chosen goods that are the epitome of escape. Every item, from puzzles printed on them to beach towels featuring his trademark images, acts as a ticket to a world where ordinary routines are swapped out for carefree times.

The Influence of Recreation

The power of play is the basic yet deep reality at the centre of Malin’s work. He encourages us to appreciate the beauty of the world around us, to recover our sense of wonder, and to embrace the joy of discovery via his lens. We find comfort, inspiration, and a brief glimpse of paradise in his photographs; they serve as a gentle reminder that, despite the bustle of contemporary life, there is a tranquil haven just waiting to be discovered.

A Light Legacy

We are reminded of the transforming ability of art to reveal the deepest recesses of our souls as we consider Malin’s incredible journey. Not only has he caught moments via his lens, but he has also recorded memories—slices of time encased in the amber glow of reminiscence. His photographs serve as a mirror of who we are and a monument to the resilience of the human spirit and our never-ending need for adventure, beauty, and a sense of belonging.

Gray Malin gives us a glimmer of optimism in an uncertain world, a lighthouse in the darkness. Through his artwork, he serves as a gentle reminder of the small joys life has to offer, including the sound of laughter from loved ones, the warmth of the sun on our skin, and the comforting embrace of the ocean. Raise your glasses, then, to this daring traveller, dream merchant, and master of the escapist style. Because when it comes to Grey Malin, every day really is a vacation.

Vans has always been deeply rooted in skate culture and has contributed significantly to the development of the sport.

The logo features the lettering “Vans” with a horizontal line over the letters A, N, and S, which begins from the top right of V, making the letter look like the mathematical root sign.

The Vans logo has undergone several iterations since its inception, but the distinctive “Off the Wall” emblem has remained a constant feature. The brand has become synonymous with skate culture and youth lifestyle. Its high-quality footwear and apparel cater to a variety of lifestyles, whether you’re hitting the skate park, the beach, or the city streets.

The post Andy Holden shines a light on the extraordinary artistic legacy of Hermione Burton appeared first on Magzoid Magazine.

After years of being forgotten, artist Hermione Burton is finally receiving the recognition she deserves, thanks to artist Andy Holden. Holden stumbled upon Burton’s entire collection of paintings, photographs, and self-published autobiography at a charity shop in Bedford a few years ago. He has since dedicated himself to presenting her work to the world.

Now, Andy Holden is showcasing more than 20 of Burton’s paintings in an exhibition titled “Full of Days” at the Gallery of Everything in London. With her unique, slightly naive style, Burton’s work would be classified as an outsider or self-taught art today. But despite being unknown during her lifetime, Holden was immediately drawn to her fantastical and otherworldly creations.

Holden’s fascination with Burton’s work only grew after reading her autobiography, which details her life story and her lifelong battle with rheumatic heart disease. Holden even went as far as tracking down some of her subjects to record their memories of Burton. In the exhibition’s longest film, “Kingdom of the Sick,” Holden brings Burton to life through a motion-captured animated version of the artist played by musician Sarah Cracknell. The film offers a glimpse into Burton’s life before Holden presents his own interpretation of her work, exploring how sickness and grief can affect our perception of time.

Burton was born in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire in 1926, but later moved to the U.S. with her second husband, where she became one of the first patients to undergo open-heart surgery. During her recovery, she turned to art and slowly gained recognition as an artist. Despite struggling with her health, Burton continued to paint and eventually exhibited her work at the Gallery in Wellingborough in 1987.

As Burton frequently painted herself and those close to her, Holden interpreted her updated artworks as a diary without a strictly linear structure. He has searched for narrative clues elsewhere, such as perspectival shifts in the composition that Holden believes are intentional expressions of a change in Burton’s worldview.

Holden’s interpretation of Burton’s work challenges viewers to consider both the possibilities and limitations of interpreting an artist’s legacy. Through his own study of Burton’s art, Holden prompts the viewer to think about the ways in which sickness and grief can shape our perception of time and how the artist’s personal life experiences can influence their work.

The exhibition “Full of Days” is a must-see for anyone interested in outsider art or the way in which personal experiences can shape an artist’s work. Burton’s paintings offer a glimpse into a fantastical world that will captivate audiences and leave them thinking about the power of art to transcend time and place. Thanks to Holden’s tireless efforts, Burton’s work is finally receiving the recognition it deserves, and audiences are getting a chance to discover the oeuvre of a little-known artist who was ahead of her time.

Mauzan

The Mauzan new signature reversible abaya is made of black and grey light crepe fabric that is non-stretchy. This means that the fabric will not easily stretch or give when pulled, and may not conform to the body as much as a stretchy fabric would.

Manolo Blahnik

While exquisite 1930s fashion and historic corseting served as inspiration for the most glamorous latticing and lace-up details, there are subtle references to 18th century trims, romantic appeal of Elizabeth Taylor, and the era-defining mod movement. The collection easily incorporates Blahnik’s signature decade-spanning stylistic allusions.

Cartier – The Cymbale Necklace

Insects are a source of fascination for the Maison, thanks to an anatomy that concentrates a multitude of details into a miniature space. Among them, Cartier highlights the cicada and transcribes its delicacy in the form of a diamond, rock crystal, ruby and onyx necklace. This complex work was born from the meeting of multiple specialised professions: designers, stone experts, lapidaries, jewellers, setters and polishers, and required nearly 1800 hours of work.
