Kelly Hoppen, the South African-British interior designer known for her signature style, is embracing the dynamic changes in Dubai and the Middle East. She believes the region’s potential for growth, creativity, and design is often misunderstood, and she aims to challenge those perceptions.

Hoppen’s connection with Dubai deepened after working on the Lanai Island villas at the Tilal Al Ghaf development, a high-end community being built by Majid Al Futtaim. The project, known for its sustainable and experience-focused approach, marked her return to the region after several years. “I was buzzing when I came back. The city had evolved, and it had a new energy,” she recalls. Her interior design for the villas blends elegance with comfort, featuring swirled marble, natural wood accents, and soothing colours that harmonize with Dubai’s intense light.

The designer, whose career spans over 40 years, feels a growing bond with Dubai. She’s already working on multiple projects in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Riyadh, and is considering expanding her presence in the region. Hoppen is contemplating opening a studio in Dubai, believing that the rapid pace of development in the city warrants a local outpost to manage projects more efficiently while nurturing regional talent.

“I want to teach the next generation of designers here,” she says, envisioning a studio that would train local designers under the Kelly Hoppen Interiors umbrella. She sees vast opportunities in the region, particularly in craftsmanship and working with local talent, instead of relying solely on international designers.

Alongside her design work, Hoppen continues her partnership with Marina Home, a UAE-based retailer that sells her furniture collection. She first met the Marina Home team at a Maison&Objet fair in Paris, and their collaboration has been a success, with her pieces now available in the Middle East.

Hoppen is also passionate about cultural diversity and how it shapes design. “Dubai is such a diverse country with so many nationalities,” she explains, noting how this fusion of cultures inspires her work. She envisions a future where design reflects both the city’s rich heritage and its global influences, creating spaces that offer both comfort and individuality.

Her ambitions for the region extend beyond residential projects. Hoppen dreams of designing a boutique hotel in Dubai, inspired by the vibrancy of cities like Paris, Milan, and New York. With a vision of smaller, intimate hotels, she wants to bring a unique style to the hospitality sector in the city.

The pandemic, Hoppen believes, has shifted how people view living spaces. “It’s about family and community,” she says, observing that Dubai’s evolution into a city with both luxurious villas and community-style living is ahead of similar developments in Europe. She’s excited by the shift in design and sees Dubai as a city of the future, one where innovation and tradition merge seamlessly.

In this exclusive interview with Magzoid, Rakhee Raval Shepherd, Head of Marketing & PR for Blacklane Middle East, delves into the innovative initiatives and future aspirations of Blacklane. She discusses the creation and impact of “In The Blacklane,” a captivating content series that offers a unique glimpse into the lives of Dubai’s most influential personalities. Shepherd also sheds light on Blacklane’s commitment to sustainable luxury travel with their all-electric Mercedes EQS fleet and their vision for the future of electric chauffeur services. Join us as we explore how Blacklane is shaping the narrative of luxury travel and cultural storytelling in Dubai and beyond.

Q.1. What does Blacklane hope to achieve with the series and what are the future plans with the series?

‘In The Blacklane’ produced by Blacklane ME is an engaging content series that weaves a rich mosaic of stories featuring entrepreneurs and influential personalities who have made significant strides in Dubai.

Filmed in the comfort of Blacklane’s all-electric Mercedes EQS vehicle and presented by Salama Mohammed, one of Forbes’ Top Women Entrepreneurs and founder of Peacefull skincare, this series offers exclusive behind-the-scenes insights into the lives and careers of Dubai’s business and cultural icons. It features renowned figures like Joey Ghazal, Amna Al Qubaisi, Freek, Ameni Esseibi, and world-renowned artist and humanitarian Sacha Jafri, and aims to inspire with their stories of perseverance and success, highlighting Dubai as a hub for innovation and achievement.

With nearly 13 million views across 5 episodes, we plan to continue the series, and potentially add a sub-series that will spotlight UAE based trailblazers within a specific industry, further spotlighting Dubai’s cultural and entrepreneurial landscape.

Q.2. “In the Blacklane” takes place in the Mercedes EQS vehicle, a state-of-the-art electric car. What does Blacklane think of the future of the electric car chauffeur service?

At Blacklane, we are committed to pioneering sustainable luxury travel and are proud to be at the forefront of this transformative change. In the UAE, we operate an all-electric first-class fleet of Mercedes EQS vehicles. This choice was made not only to meet the growing market demand for sustainable chauffeur services but also because the EQS combines state-of-the-art electric technology with the luxurious comfort our guests expect.

The Mercedes EQS is a pinnacle of eco-friendly innovation that delivers a superior guest experience. Renowned for its dynamic performance and luxurious amenities, it allows us to reduce our carbon footprint significantly while ensuring that our services remain first-class. Features such as in-car WIFI, noise cancellation, ventilated massage seats, spacious interiors, and cutting-edge HEPA filteration systems ensure that each journey is a sublime experience. Furthermore, its impressive range and fast-charging capabilities mean minimal downtime, allowing us to serve more clients efficiently and sustainably.

Looking forward, we see the adoption of electric vehicles not as a fleeting trend but as a permanent evolution in luxury travel. By 2025, we aim to ensure that 50% of our rides globally are electric. This commitment demonstrates that luxury and environmental responsibility can coexist seamlessly, setting a standard we believe the entire industry will eventually adopt.

Q.3. Has the series managed to get some exclusive insights into the lives of the personalities that have been featured in the Blacklane?

The main purpose of this series was not just to spotlight the successes and learnings of these individuals but also to highlight their unique personalities and characters. With the ‘In the Blacklane’ series, I believe we have successfully accomplished just that. Each episode begins with a quick-fire round of light-hearted and fun questions before diving deeper into their earliest memories, celebrated triumphs, challenges faced, and the driving forces behind their success.

By uncovering pivotal moments in their careers and lives through fun and heartwarming questions, the series offers an intimate glimpse into the real life of these extraordinary individuals, providing an understanding of their journeys and making the series both engaging and informative.

Q.4. What does Blacklane aim to achieve with ‘In the Blacklane’ over the next few years?

Firstly, it is important for us as a brand to be seen as more than just a service provider but also as one that deeply values the city and its residents. Through this content series, we are breaking industry boundaries by creating value-driven content rather than service-oriented material.

By going beyond traditional branding and showcasing the stories and achievements of remarkable individuals in Dubai, we aim to create a more relatable and engaging connection with our audience, highlighting the values of our brand and its deep connection to the vibrant city. This personal touch adds depth to our brand identity and allows us to connect with our audience on a more meaningful level. We are exploring the possibility of potentially extending the reach of this content series to international metropolises where Blacklane operates like London, Miami, and New York, mirroring the success we’ve achieved in Dubai and connecting with global audiences through relatable, inspiring content that highlights the values of our brand

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.

Dubai summers are synonymous with scorching temperatures, but with a few smart strategies, you can keep cool and comfortable throughout the season. Here are some essential tips to help you beat the intense heat and enjoy your summer in Dubai to the fullest.

Hydration Is Key

The first rule of staying cool in Dubai’s summer heat is to stay hydrated. Carry a water bottle with you wherever you go and drink plenty of fluids throughout the day. Opt for water, fresh juices, or electrolyte-rich drinks to replenish lost minerals due to sweating.

Dress Smartly

Choose lightweight, loose-fitting clothing made from breathable fabrics like cotton or linen. Light colors reflect sunlight and help keep you cool compared to dark colors that absorb heat. Wearing a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses can also provide added protection from the sun.

Seek Shade and Air Conditioning

When outdoors, look for shaded areas to escape direct sunlight. Plan activities during early mornings or evenings when temperatures are relatively cooler. Indoors, take advantage of air-conditioned spaces such as shopping malls, cinemas, and indoor attractions to stay comfortably cool.

Cool Treats and Foods

Indulge in refreshing treats like ice cream, frozen yogurt, or chilled fruits to cool down from the heat. Opt for light and hydrating meals such as salads, fresh fruits, and cold soups that are easier to digest and won’t weigh you down during hot days.

Stay Sun-Safe

Protect your skin from the sun’s harmful UV rays by applying sunscreen with a high SPF regularly. Reapply sunscreen every few hours, especially if you’re swimming or sweating. Consider wearing UV-protective clothing for added sun protection.

Embrace Indoor Activities

Beat the heat by exploring Dubai’s indoor attractions such as museums, art galleries, aquariums, and indoor theme parks. Enjoy shopping at the city’s world-class malls or unwind at a spa for a relaxing escape from the summer heat.

Plan Outdoor Activities Wisely

If you must be outdoors, plan activities that involve water, such as visiting water parks, beaches, or pools. Take breaks in shaded areas, use umbrellas or canopies for additional shade, and avoid strenuous activities during the hottest part of the day.

Stay Informed and Prepared

Stay updated with weather forecasts and heat advisories to plan your activities accordingly. Be aware of heat-related illnesses and their symptoms, and seek medical attention if you or someone you know shows signs of heat exhaustion or heatstroke.

Conclusion

With these essential tips, you can stay cool and beat the Dubai heat during the summer months. Whether you’re a resident or a visitor, keeping hydrated, dressing smartly, seeking shade, and enjoying indoor activities will help you stay comfortable and safe while enjoying all that Dubai has to offer.

Embrace the season with confidence and enjoy a refreshing summer in Dubai!
