The fourth and final cover story.

Closing our anniversary edition is Ana-Karina de Paula Allen - the subject of a special-edition cover for The Lifestyle Compendium Vol. 5.

Across more than two decades in publishing, luxury and philanthropy, AK has built a career that resists an easy definition.

From senior roles at Condé Nast and British Vogue to her work with Tiffany & Co., the British Fashion Council Foundation and a portfolio of emerging businesses, she has repeatedly found herself at the intersection of culture, commerce and innovation.

In our extended cover story, we trace the experiences that have shaped her philosophy and explore a career spanning publishing, the maisons, entrepreneurship, investment and philanthropy - alongside AK’s perspective on an industry undergoing profound change.

AK wears Tiffany & Co., Bvlgari, David Koma, Patrick McDowell and Stella Lucia.

Ana-Karina de Paula Allen’s special-edition cover is revealed tomorrow.

As an artist it's always the most joyful moment for me at the makeup test & fitting to create a makeup that ticks my favourite reference boxes. The other major moment is working with my team to see all the models in their first looks with hair and makeup done & ready to walk the runway to the beautiful music. Nothing can beat the atmosphere at a show backstage it's just electric. Historical ✅ Romantic ✅ Gothic ✅ Ghostly ✅ Painterly ✅ AW26 Bora Aksu

In the studio with @mobjournal , shot by @cts_portrait ‧₊˚❀༉‧₊˚. “Set within Kiara’s London studio, the series offers a glimpse of a work in progress floral sculptural lamp. Moving between shadow and illumination, the body mirrors the themes of nature, duality, and transformation that define her multidisciplinary practice. The unfinished form reflects process and becoming, while the figure acts as a conduit where opposing energies meet.

Wearing full looks by @annandelman_official, whose deconstructed silhouettes merge classic structure with abstract intervention, the styling echoes this dialogue between tradition and reimagining. Nature and construction, street style and beauty, darkness and radiance exist in dynamic tension, positioning modelling as an extension of artistic expression.”

As showcased in The Lifestyle Compendium Vol. 4, IWC Curated. offers a measured counterpoint in an industry often preoccupied with novelty.

Rather than leaving vintage models to fragmented provenance and uncertain histories, the programme returns historically significant IWC watches to circulation with care - identified, restored and certified by the manufacture’s own specialists in Schaffhausen.

This is less about revival than responsible continuity. Each piece is restored with period-correct restraint, preserving the character earned over decades while ensuring mechanical integrity for decades to come.

Across the pages of Vol. 4, three examples capture the spirit of the initiative and IWC Schaffhausen: the Pilot’s Watch Mark 11, the Aquatimer, and the GST - restored not to modernise them, but to preserve their original intent.
