The invitation to the Flamingo Room comes, misleadingly, with a warning: there are no flamingos. None. Not even a leg, a feather, or a cocktail stick in the shape of one. It’s a little like calling a place The Unicorn Grill and discovering they only serve goat. Years ago, on the roof of Kensington’s Roof Gardens, London, there really were flamingos — louche, pink, and faintly camp birds who looked as if they were waiting for Noël Coward to order a martini. I had assumed, in the way one does, that they had retired to Dubai, as so many Londoners…

September is fashion’s biggest month — the one when the glossies land with a thump, fat with the season’s marching orders. This autumn, apparently, we are all to be swathed in leopard-print coats. A delicious idea, unless you live somewhere the weather app still insists it ‘feels like’ 55°C. In Dubai, our September issue is a more prosaic one: how to be covered, cool, and presentable at the school gate before the bell. And the answer, mercifully, is shorter than usual. Because there’s an equation every Dubai parent solves before coffee: covered enough for the car park, cool enough for…

As someone who chased expensive cars throughout my twenties and early thirties, I have spent a large part of my life thinking about the relationship between wealth, status and happiness. In those early days, if you had told me I relied too heavily on luxury, I would have told you no, I just had good taste. I loved the sound of a beautifully made engine, the design, the engineering and the feeling of sitting behind the wheel of something that represented years of craftsmanship. I still do. There is nothing wrong with appreciating beautiful things, and I still believe working…

SEOUL — Four missing people have been found dead on South Korean holiday island Jeju, as local police face mounting public criticism for allegedly mishandling missing persons cases. Reports emerged last week that authorities were launching a belated search for a woman reported missing months ago. This sparked criticism of the police for failing to search for her earlier. The scandal has since deepened with the arrest of a police sergeant, surnamed Bu, who is accused of lying to victims’ families and prematurely closing missing persons cases. President Lee Jae Myung called for greater police accountability after public outrage over…
