Simply Abu Dhabi XXXVI

Exciting collaborations It’s been an exciting year for Calie Parese in terms of collaboration with other artists and luxury brands. Earlier this year, Calie Parese was invited to partner on the prestigious Bentley 100 centenary publication, presenting in London alongside some of the world’s most recognisable brands. More recently, the brand made the exciting announcement it will be working with Rolls-Royce next year, on the highly anticipated publication “Strive for Perfection” in 2020, which will help mark the 110th anniversary of Rolls-Royce’s iconic hood ornament, the Spirit of Ecstasy. Calie Parese will be showcasing alongside some of the world's most luxurious brands, handpicked by the Rolls- Royce Enthusiasts’ Club and Rolls-Royce Owners’ Club, at the global book launch which will take place in the iconic Great Ballroom of the Grosvenor House in Park Lane, London. So what’s next for Calie Parese? As graduates of some of the UK’s most acclaimed universities (Alice studied at Edinburgh College of Art and Catherine graduated from the London College of Fashion), the sisters are keen to bring their vision and talent to a wider range of accessories that will celebrate the spirit of Africa further. The brand will be launching a finely crafted collection of jewellery next year, as well as a collection of printed scarves designed by an emerging Southern African ¬fine artist. If their beautiful collection of leather goods is any hint, we can expect exquisitely crafted elements evocative of Africa that combine a classic, timeless appeal with a modern aesthetic. We can’t wait to see what they do next. To find out how you can be among Calie Parese’s exclusive clientele, visit https://www.calieparese.com/. 1 1 6 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I
