It is articulated in different ways and to varying ends, but there is a thread of continuity running through it; namely to fi nd something inside of ourselves, or an external stimulus, that enables us to embrace experience, to achieve things we thought unattainable, and to relish – in the most palpably affi rming way – life itself. It plays out in fi lmmaker Shaima Al-Tamimi’s Don’t Get Too Comfortable; a poignant and topical exploration of belonging, migration, and identity. “Be as honest and authentic as possible,” she tells Bazaar (page 44) of the creative process. “Don’t be afraid of that, just keep digging deeper.” We hear it too in adventurer Aisha Al Naama’s story, told to author Matthias Krug for a series of children’s books. “This is really about showing children that the thing that got me to where I am today is that I have dreams and I have always believed in pursuing them. Keep on pushing, keep trying; it’s the journey, not the end goal that matters” (Bookish Delights, page 31). It rings out in the words of Nada Khamis Al-Sulaiti; founder of luxury jewellery brand Hairaat who channels the grief at the passing of her father into a ring that reveals her strength; a sign of both loss and self-realisation. “When you lose someone close to you, it can sharpen your character and reveal something different,”she says (Carving out a legacy, page 104). “The idea of this ring is that it is golden, but it is fractured. There is a piece missing, but in that broken section are diamonds; beauty that was hidden.” We feel it, too, in Lost in America, an exhibition exploring the exceptional career of Jeff Koons hosted by Al Riwaq (page 115). “The way the exhibition is presented is about my autobiographical past as an American but at the end of the day, the discussion is really what does it mean to be human. We’re surrounded by everything and if we really want to have a vast life, we need to open ourselves up to it. That’s empowerment.” T HBQA_025_006_Eds Letter_11936301.indd 609/03/2022 10:53:26 AMFor further inquiries you may reach Djula on: +974 55 30 51 79 Doha Festival City | City Center Doha 8 Harper’s Bazaar Arabia Spring 2022 CONTENTS THE LIST 13 Time Traveller 15 Now, Voyager 17 Interlaced Elegance 18 The Beauty List THE FASHION 20 The Grand Bazaar 68 Roman Holiday 78 A Zest for Life THE NEWS 28 Bags of Style 31 Bookish Delights 32 PresentedBy 34 Spring Awakening 32 Modest Fashion Shines at Heya 38 In it for the Long Run 39 Gender Equality 40 The New Look 43 Shop Til You Drop THE INTERVIEW 44 Don’t Get Too Comfortable 62 A Star on the Rise COVER Photography by Vladimir Marti.
