Bali is one of those places where it’s always sunny, spiritual, a little chaotic, wildly beautiful, and somehow always telling you to slow down. It is the kind of destination that feels both easy and unforgettable. For this Bali guide, KHAMSA reached out to Hiba Waleed (@hibaaw on Instagram), an Emirati-Palestinian tastemaker with an eye for fashion, culture and the kind of places that actually have a soul.

Bridal dressing is supposed to be magical. But let’s be honest, it can also feel like a full-time job with lace, pressure, screenshots, family opinions, and 47 Pinterest references that suddenly make no sense. So at KHAMSA we made a bridal edit for the girls who are somewhere between “I know exactly what I want” and “please don’t ask me another question.” This is not a rulebook.

Nostalgia used to be considered a disease. Not metaphorically. In the 17th century, it was treated as a medical condition, a dangerous homesickness that could supposedly make soldiers weak, delirious, even physically ill.

There are two things every Arab family believes: the food wasn’t enough, and everyone has a role to play. Not the role they chose, but the one they somehow inherited. The sibling who became the third parent before finishing school. The brother who interviews every man within a five-meter radius of his sister(s). The youngest who’s somehow still treated like they’re twelve despite having a full-time job.

After a week of Paris heat that felt personally targeted, Celine offered the rarest luxury of all: air conditioning. Inside the Tennis Club de Paris, in the 16th arrondissement, Michael Rider staged his first fully menswear runway show for the house – and suddenly, the Celine man felt less like an idea and more like a person you might actually want to follow out of the room. The set was clean, almost clinical: white scaffolding, white space, a feeling of something still being built.
