UT: Istanbul is a beautiful city where you are able to  feel the past and the future times togheter. My favorite thing is to have delicious fish and turkish drink RAKI.

One of our best location is Grand Bazaar it is the oldest natural shopping mall in the world. We have lots of things that you can find and should see in Istanbul.

A quick chat with Antonio Ben Chimol OO !

What made an Italian designer based in Spain decide to showcase his designs in Lebanon?
It’s quite simple, actually. A bracelet made by an Italian based in Spain – me – was sold to a Danish lady. She met a woman from Lebanon on a plane, who fell in love with the bracelet, so she bought it! That’s how my first bracelet arrived in Beirut. The ways of God are infinite…

What was the moment that made your career?

Antonio Ben Chimol OO in Timeout Beirut

I had some debts that kept on rising after I was involved in a badly-organised top-level concert that took place in 1996 on the island of Sardinia. So in order to repay these debts I started selling my bracelets at the nearby clubs. It soon proved to be much more successful than the concerts themselves!

Tell us about the use of magnetic locking clasps in your work.
I was lost between the different kinds of locking systems for accessories. Then I drew a magnetic clasp for a bracelet I was wearing. That was the day it all started. Now I’ve become fully committed to this fun, versatile mechanism.

Next Stop: Berlin

It is quite known that Berlin is one of the most recognised cities as a Fashion metropolis. I haven’t been yet though but I think of it and I presume the charm of a modern city, tidy, bohemian, young-blooded, where dwelling prices seem affordable, more than any other European cities, with a wide range of tastes and a sparkling nightlife and obviously surrounded by the remains of the history of the wall which divided along 28 years to friends, families and a whole country.

Today, Berlin strikes a pose offering open spaces for creativity, free designs and culture styles, fashion, lifestyles, art or music, making it more attractive for trendsetters, artists, designers even filmmakers.

PREMIUM is one of the international events of fashion industry which brings life for a week. 900 brands and more than 42,000 visitors make this one of the most important gathering in its class, where worldwide experts rate the upcoming concepts in design and cast back to the world the essence of what the brands want to show. Premium Symposium will focus on the current debate “Fashion Blogs’ Hype or Future” featuring Pros like Mary Scherpe – Bloggerin & Photographer, Marcus Luft – Editor Gala Germany, Christoph Amend – Zeitmagazin, Sven Schöne – K-MB Agency, Imran Amen – Bussines fashion.

El próximo domingo, 25 de abril, Cuatro estrena en ‘prime time’ ‘Bodas cruzadas’. Este formato original de Boomerang TV producido para la cadena de Prisa sustituirá al ‘reality’ ‘Perdidos en la tribu’, que ponía punto y final a su segunda temporada esta semana.

Patricia Gaztañaga presentará este nuevo espacio, lo que supondrá su debut en Cuatro. Ella será la encargada de hacer todo lo posible para que varias parejas, dispuestas a renunciar a muchas cosas, consigan la boda de sus sueños.

Al casting del programa se presentaron 2.600 parejas, todo un éxito de convocatoria. Todas ellas han querido que el día más importante de su vida lo organice Cuatro y la cadena hará todo lo posible para que sus sueños se cumplan.

Patricia Gaztañaga, es una cara muy conocida en la televisión española.  Pasó por Antena 3 en 2001 para dirigir el magacín ‘El Diario de Patricia’, donde estuvo cinco años al frente de este programa. Ahora, su aventura empezará en Cuatro con ‘Bodas Cruzadas’.

El estilismo de la presentadora es muy cuidado,  lucirá accesorios de la marca Antonio Ben Chimol, en la foto la elegante gargantilla “Snake”.

THE PATRIOT, a new concept.

At first glance it might look like a regular pin badge, but it will surprise you with the charming and original style applies to a single plain shirt.

The different magnets give him versatility, adding practically an attractive detail on any kind of accessory, boots, gloves or bags. The Patriot is made of recycled leather and metals from my own ‘atelier’. Each Patriot turns into the flag of each of my staff, they freely assemble each piece by selecting its colours, cutting out shapes and choosing under their own criteria the chromatic composition between the gold, silver and titanium of the clasps and leather stripes. Suddenly, the creativity from who makes a repetitive activity EXPLODES, letting myself to discover the style and personality from each one of my collaborators, who become new creators with each new Patriot. That’s why I wanted to stamp the warranty with a serial number, each Patriot will be a unique piece.

And regarding its name, I wanted to name them Patriot so there’s not only missiles called like that in the world.
