welcome
IT’S PURE GOLD W 8
elcome to our June/July edition, celebrating the arrival of summer with a stunning Kate Moss cover image courtesy of St. Tropez. The expert skin-fi nishing brand has been basking in a glow of publicity since unveiling the golden girl of fashion as its new ambassador and we take a look behind the glamour of its exciting new campaign (p32). Elsewhere in the world of beauty, we showcase the top professional
nail brands to fi nd out how the latest luxury mani/pedi services can give your menu a creative fl ourish and offer the image-conscious spa guest a great opportunity for self-expression (p79). We also join Séan, Noella and Oriele, the management trio behind
celebrated British spa brand Elemis, to hear how 10 years of spa skincare excellence with Pro-Collagen Marine Cream have put the company fi rmly on the world map (p56). Our ‘gold’ theme continues with a visit to Scotland’s Carrick Club & Spa at Cameron House to meet Emma Leadbeater, group spa director at De Vere Hotels and Urban Village Resorts, where spa development plans are a “golden thread” running through the brand’s growth strategy. We also take a look inside the Crystal Spa & Lounge in St Petersburg,
Russia, which has been built using the ancient principles of the Golden Ratio – used in the construction of the pyramids in Egypt – to create a unique energy for the benefi t of its guests (p60). Last but not least, we report from the latest industry gatherings: the seventh SPATEC Europe in sunny Tenerife and SPAMeeting in Casablanca, Morocco. We also welcome Susie Ellis, president and CEO of the Global Spa & Wellness Summit, who previews the agenda for this year’s event at the Oberoi, Gurgaon in New Delhi. As ever, we hope you enjoy this issue and take away some sun-kissed inspiration for summer.
