Today’s world operates at a rapid, swipe-and-you-miss-it speed. Quite often it feels like the only way to wrestle back control is to plan, meticulously. And while it is always good to have a plan, it’s worth remembering that there’s often great joy to be had in things that seem to appear unexpectedly.
That was the undercurrent behind waves lapping on the beach of Abu Dhabi’s Emirates Palace last night as the host of the latest instalment of the ‘Esquire Supper Club’.
Held in partnership with Orlebar Brown, Esquire hand-picked a crowd of the UAE’s key tastemakers to come and celebrate the latest creative collaboration between Orlebar Brown and Automobili Lamborghini – an unlikely pairing at first, but as unexpected as it seems, created a capsule that was really quite special.
Set on the dazzling beach-side location of Sand & Koal restaurant, the guests merged their chicest Riviera aesthetic, with fine-tuned conversation and high-powered wit, in an evening that was engineered to bring together a diverse crowd that were connected on values.
Fittingly held in Abu Dhabi, where the desert sand meets the Arabian sea, where mangroves meet the shores – a global cultural capital has arisen. Evidence if needed that – like the stellar connection between Orlebar Brown and Lamborghini – that sometimes the best things come from embracing the joy of the unexpected.
