In this prestigious setting, Kartell celebrates its lifestyle by offering an immersion in its world of beauty and innovation, where the products come to life through different proposals for total living settings. The opening of the space within the Dubai Mall marks a significant step in Kartell's retail expansion strategy in the United Arab Emirates and follows the recent opening of the flagship store in Dubai Hills. The space inside the Dubai Mall Za'abeel presents total living proposals in which the sofas are set with armchairs, carpets, side tables, and lights as well as the tables and chairs.

The United Arab Emirates, with their cities such as Dubai and Abu Dhabi, represent a commercial area of growing importance for Kartell, in which to propose projects that adapt to various contexts, from private homes to spaces dedicated to hospitality. A global approach that reflects the desire to satisfy a cosmopolitan, sophisticated and diverse clientele, made up of local and international residents, all looking for design and lifestyle proposals. “The opening of two new flagship stores in prestigious locations such as Dubai Mall and Dubai Hills confirms Kartell's interest in the Emirates as a strategic market – comments Lorenza Luti, Kartell Marketing & Retail Director. Our renewed presence represents a solid starting point, but the aim is to open additional stores in the area underlining our ongoing commitment to rolling out our retail network and meeting the growing demand for high-quality designer and lifestyle products in this region. The opening of the new stores represents an important step towards reaching an ever-wider clientele and consolidating Kartell's position as one of the leading design brands in the Emirates. In parallel, the development of the shops is accompanied, also in this area, by the implementation of e-commerce to reach the entire country". To celebrate this new opening, on the occasion of the opening event on November 8, Inkman, the well-known Tunisian artist, known internationally, specialized in contemporary calligraphy, was the protagonist of a live performance in which the Louis Ghost seat will be used as a "canvas" to create a special and inimitable work.

I FIA and FIM World Cups in Baja COMPETITORS ARRIVE AHEAD OF DUBAI INTERNATIONAL BAJA  Toyota Promote Seth Quintero On Eve Of Event  Off Road Rallying Season Heads To A Conclusion On The Dunes Of Dubai As the teams complete their final preparations ahead of the Dubai International Baja tomorrow (Friday 10th NOV), Toyota have announced that emerging US star Seth Quintero has won promotion to one of the most prized seats in off-road rallying. Toyota have chosen this weekend’s final round of the FIA Baja World Cup to present Quintero with the much coveted 3.5 litre V6 twin turbo Toyota Hilux recently vacated by FIA Baja World Cup champion elect Nasser Al-Attiyah. The latter will line up this weekend in his new Prodrive Hunter where his biggest opposition is likely to come from his former team including the 21-year-old Californian Red Bull Off-Road Junior Team driver Quintero. The San Diego native has earned promotion following his victory in this year’s World Rally-Raid Championship (W2RC) T3 title alongside co-driver Dennis Zenz. Quintero will be closely watched in Dubai as he adapts to the Toyota GR DKR Hilux T1+ car while Nasser, too, works to become familiar with his new machine. The final round of both the FIA and FIM World Cups in Baja rallying has attracted the top drivers and riders for three days of intense off-road action beginning with the exciting new night time prologue stage at Dubai Festival City next Friday. Once again the event has garnered vital support from the Dubai Government and its entities which helps Emirates Motorsport Organization (EMSO) to deliver one of the most eagerly anticipated international motorsports events of the year in the UAE. This year, the Dubai International Baja is proud to support the initiative of Dubai Fitness Challenge. An initiative of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of the Executive Council of Dubai – the challenge runs from 28th October until 26th November and aims to inspire everyone to create a fitness-focused mindset and seek healthy, active lifestyles. Khalid Ben Sulayem, President of the Emirates Motorsport Organization (EMSO): “The continuing long-time support of the Government of Dubai and its entities makes it possible for us to deliver top class rallying of world renown. “We are proud to be able to present the region in all its glory. The epic scenery, the challenging topography and the technological expertise of Dubai all combine to present a wonderful sporting event showcasing the best of UAE and Dubai to a local, regional and international audience. Seth Quintero: I’m addicted to progression, obsessed by it, and this step up to T1+ is all I’ve been thinking about for a while. I always had raw speed over short stints, but now I’ve learned to hang on for two weeks at a time.” In cooperation with Automotive partner Al Futtaim Toyota, Dubai Festival City, Energy Partner ENOC, and Al Ain Water. The rally is also supported by the Dubai Government and its entities Dubai Police, RTA, Dubai Sports Council, Dubai Municipality, Dubai Customs, Dubai Civil Defense, Wild Affairs Region Department, Dubai Media and Dubai Sport TV. The seventh edition of this desert classic event kicks off in Festival City in Dubai on Friday, November 10th, with the evening prologue stage offering spectators a chance to see all of the competitors in action ahead of Saturday and Sunday’s cross-country legs. Read also Formula E and the FIA confirmed the full driver line-up for Season 10 of the ABB FIA Formula E World (moralmoda.com) Nasser Al Attiyah © INTERNATIONAL BAJA IN THRILLING SEASON FINALE - ENOC KEEPS THE WHEELS TURNING AS DUBAI INTERNATIONAL BAJA BRINGS THE CURTAIN DOWN ON 2023 SEASON The international off-road rallying season comes to a conclusion at the Dubai International Baja next week (November 10-12) as the world’s top crews get set to do battle on the challenging dunes of Dubai. Registration closed with the top-ranked drivers and riders in all categories entered for the seventh edition of one the Middle East’s most popular annual sports events, which has captured the imagination of off-road motorsport enthusiasts across the world since its reinvention as a Baja rally in 2016. Titles are still up for grabs in numerous categories, and with the recent cancellation of the Jordan Baja, the Dubai event becomes the championship decider for both the FIM motorcycle Bajas World Cup and most of the car classes of the FIA World Cup for Cross-Country Bajas. While the overall car championship has already been decided in favour of Nasser Al-Attiyah, all eyes will be on the Qatari off-road superstar as he comes to terms with his new Prodrive Hunter following a surprising late-season move. Ranged against him is a quality field including Toyota Overdrive drivers Yazeed Al Rajhi – who won the FIA overall World Title in 2021 and 2022 -and Argentina’s Juan Cruz Yacopini who finished second to champion elect Al-Attiyah at the opening round in Saudi Arabia earlier this year. For all the competitors, merely making it to the finish line is a challenge, one that is eased considerably thanks to the extension of the partnership between the Emirates Motorsport Organization (EMSO) and official energy partner, the Emirates National Oil Company (ENOC). For a second year the Group will again provide the Dubai Baja participants, organiser vehicles and Search and Rescue helicopters with different types of high-performance fuel. Equally importantly, ENOC Group, a Dubai Government oil and gas giant with presence in 60 different markets globally, also provides key logistical services by supplying fuel to remote refuelling stops deep into the desert, where the high-technology mobile distributors ENOC Link keep crews in action across the epic deserts of Dubai. H.E. Saif Humaid Al Falasi, Group CEO ENOC said: “ENOC Group and the Dubai International Baja share fundamental values that make part of the core of our company’s ethos. For over three decades, ENOC has accompanied the development of Dubai and provided innovative energy solutions, delivering sustainable value and industry-leading performance. It is a source of pride for us to once again support this thrilling event, which is part of Dubai’s and the UAE’s sports heritage. Our country’s landscape offers a fantastic arena for world-class international competition and makes this a wonderful opportunity for us to display our expertise in supplying quality fuel to ensure the vehicles’ engines can meet those challenges.” ENOC Group owns and operates assets in the fields of exploration and production, supply and operations, terminals, fuel retail, aviation fuel and petroleum products for commercial and industrial use. Khalid Ben Sulayem, President of the Emirates Motorsport Organization (EMSO): “We are delighted to continue the collaboration with ENOC. ENOC Group and the more than 30 subsidiaries operating under their umbrella are globally recognised as a synonym of excellence, development and performance. Strengthening bonds between our organisations can only enhance the experience of everyone involved in the Dubai International Baja. At an event which asks so much of competitors and machinery, competitors and teams are the obvious beneficiaries, but it is we as organizers that can really understand and benefit from the extent of the support received from partnering with ENOC.” Among the motorbikes, local hero Mohammed Al Balooshi has slipped to second in the FIM Bajas World Cup standings ahead of the final round, having led the series since the start of the season. The Emirati battled with several issues during the previous round in Portugal, which set him back to 6th overall on the race and allowed local rider David Megre better leverage of his home ride and a climb into a narrow lead. Al Balooshi now goes into his own home event chasing a repeat of his victory on the 2018 Dubai Baja, a win which helped him to secure that year’s overall series world title. Al Balooshi (Yamaha YZF450) sits between Portuguese riders Megre (Kawasaki KX450 X) and Pedro Bianchi Prata (Honda CRF450 RX) in the points standings, with all three holding realistic chances of title glory in what is building up to be a winner-takes-all grandstand finish to the season.

Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Crown Prince of Dubai and chairman of the Dubai Executive Council.

Pack nicotine alternatives Smoking cessation isn’t a one-and-done thing; being out with friends—especially smokers—might exacerbate your cravings. Instead of giving in and asking for a smoke, tobacco-free alternatives can help tamp down those urges. Nicotine pouches are a great product for a night out. Most nicotine pouches come in cans, which allow users to experience nicotine satisfaction on the go. Another great option is nicotine patches, which have been around for decades as a quitting aid. Brands like Habitrol nicotine patches come with two or three-step programs over eight or twelve weeks, gradually lowering the nicotine dose after some time. all images © Read our Summer Issue See Haute couture from Dior, Alexis Mabille, Georges Hobeika, Zuhair Murad, Valentino and more Explore Moralmoda Art Culture Lifestyle Travel Business Interviews Events ​ Get in touch About us Contacts Subscribe

I The tradeshow brought together 144 professional dealers among a total of 172 exhibitors including Emerging Talents & New Designers, schools, Arts & Crafts, The Pearl Odyssey exhibition and the LetuBooks and Gem Collectors Bookshops to name but a few, as well as laboratories and the exhibition’s other partners.

Opening ceremony: (left to right) Claude Membrez, CEO of Palexpo SA, Thomas Faerber, Co-Founder of GemGenève, Delphine Bachmann, Geneva State Councillor for the Economy and Employment, Ronny Totah, Co-Founder of GemGenève. Photo: © András Barta A highly successful 7th edition of GemGenève GemGenève’s organisers report a very positive November 2023 exhibition The seventh edition of GemGenève, the tradeshow especially for jewellery professionals and enthusiasts and open to the public, finished on Sunday evening. A total of 3,218 visitors came to Palexpo to discover the outstanding gemstones and new releases on display at GemGenève. Throughout the four-day event, exhibitors closed new deals and the general public had the opportunity to find out all about the many different aspects of jewellery, resulting in a unique experience for first-time buyers and seasoned collectors alike. GemGenève is a showcase featuring a range of exceptional gems and numerous treasures alongside a high-level cultural offering devised by GemGenève Director Mathieu Dekeukelaire. 1,361 of the 3,218 visitors came to the tradeshow more than once, bringing the total number of visits to 4,579. The organisers noted a slight decrease in the total number of visits and visitors, down 12% and 9.2% respectively compared to the November 2022 edition, which saw 5,205 visits / 3,543 visitors this time. This decline can be attributed to the current geopolitical situation in the Middle East and Europe. Given the circumstances, the organisers deemed these to be dynamic and encouraging figures. The Pearl Odyssey exhibition, the flag-ship feature of this edition, was a roaring success with professionals and private clients and the general public alike. The organisers have not ruled out the idea of a travelling exhibition in the near future. The Pearl Odyssey tells the story of the pearl tradition and its treasures from ancient times through to the state-of-the-art techniques used in contemporary laboratories, allowing visitors to GemGenève to discover some forty outstanding pieces from among the finest private and heritage collections. The exhibition was made possible by the support of Chaumet, the Alfardan Collection, the Flee Project collective, the SSEF laboratory and a private collector, with the collaboration of partner exhibitors (Faerber-Collection, Gem Collectors Bookshop, Heritage Gems, Horovitz & Totah SA, Joseph Gad, Nicolas Torroni, Ocean Flame, and Swiss Pearls) and other dealers including Hofer Antischmuck, Oasis Pearl and Ecija. During the opening ceremony for this seventh edition of GemGenève, the event’s co-founder Ronny Totah alluded to the symbolic nature of the figure 7 and the film The Seven Year Itch (entitled ‘Seven years of thinking’ in French): years of careful thought and maturity have enabled the GemGenève team to improve and build up all sorts of links with exhibitors, cultural contributors and partners from the world of education. As he explained, “During these difficult times, I very much hope that the four days of this seventh edition will provide a measure of respite and wellbeing for all of us and be an opportunity for us to deepen our relationships still further”. Geneva’s State Councillor for the Economy and Employment Delphine Bachmann delivered an upbeat speech on the expertise of the profession, stressing her admiration for the innovation and creativity hubs featured at the exhibition as part of its stunning programme. As Ronny Totah emphasised: “the slight decrease in traffic compared to last November doesn’t appear to have had an impact on sales volumes. The exhibitors benefited from a favourable environment for business, discussions, and networking opportunities with connoisseurs and amateur enthusiasts alike.” He added: “The fine jewellery market and the upper echelons of the antique and collectors’ jewellery market are in good shape overall. Natural pearls, high-quality coloured stones and signed jewels remain highly sought-after. While it’s difficult to gauge the volume of sales and analyse trends, it would appear that things are just as they were in previous editions.” While exhibitors were clearly tired at the end of a four-day marathon, everyone appeared to be satisfied with the result. Indeed, word has it that some excellent deals were completed for certain high-quality pieces. Thomas Faerber had this to say: “Market conditions remain healthy, buoyed by inflation in many regions of the world, adding to the appeal of high-quality pieces as safe investments.” Visitors travelled from 92 countries to attend the seventh edition of the Geneva International Gem & Jewellery Show. In terms of geographical breakdown, most came from Switzerland (1,211), followed by France (over 700), Italy (197), Belgium (149), the UK (120) and the USA (84). As a unique platform dedicated to coloured gemstones, outstanding diamonds, pearls, antique and contemporary pieces of jewellery, recognised designers and emerging talents, GemGenève’s reputation for quality has gone from strength to strength with each new edition; the event is becoming increasingly popular with exhibitors, buyers and the international media, who now make sure the event is down in their editorial diaries. Purchasers ranging from international retailers and leading jewellery houses to collectors and private buyers displayed a keen interest in making new acquisitions and concluding business deals. Led by Nadège Totah, the event hosted nine talented designers in the ‘Designer Village’: five Emerging Talents and four New Designers. For the fourth time running, GemGenève set aside a very special place for the Strong & Precious Art Foundation: Ukrainian Jewellers bringing together six Ukrainian designers. As a genuine powerhouse of creativity, GemGenève offers its visitors a fully immersive experience into the different skills involved in the jewellery industry with a high-level educational programme: · A total of 13 talks and panel discussions, all available on replay at digital.gemgeneve.com. All were well-attended, with an average of 30-40 in the audience at each presentation. One such talk on an animal theme was Snakes in jewellery, precious and sinuous symbols given by Gislain Aucremanne, Heritage Curator Director at Bulgari. One of the panel debates discussed an issue very much in the news at present: How AI is disrupting the analysis of precious stones: limits and opportunities, chaired by Andrea Machalova and featuring Laurent Cartier, Daniel Nyfeler and Laura Tocmacov. Another, at which every seat was taken, dealt with The Future of Marketing Jewels on Social Media, hosted by David Brough from Jewellery Outlook and featuring influencers such as Donna Jewel (Laura Inghirami), Katerina Perez, Champagne Gem (Bebe Bakhshi) and The Diamond Talk (Renu Choudhary). · Working sessions in partnership with the French-speaking gemmology association Gemmologie & Francophonie have been a regular feature since May 2022, with reports published by the Association in its new review GEMMES. Following a successful launch in partnership with Gemmologie & Francophonie, the working session resumed at the November event. The main topic under discussion was What does sustainability mean in the world of jewellery? The working session on Saturday 4 November was entitled Creating a basis for content in a jeweller/vendor guide and customer information: categories, best practices, facts & fairytales. · Authors of books on jewellery held book-signing sessions. The works in question included L’esprit Chaumet (the Chaumet Spirit) by Gabrielle de Montmorin, Minéralogie Enchantée, 40 histoires de pierres (Enchanted Mineralogy – 40 stories of stones) by Patricia Desmortiers, illustrated by Lola-Muna Lugand and Yewn – Bijoux d’art contemporain et route de la soie (Yewn – Contemporary Art Jewellery and the Silk Road) by Juliet Weir-de La Rochefoucauld. · Keynote Interview: Gabrielle de Montmorin x Jean-Marc Mansvelt, CEO, Chaumet. · A poetic exhibition entitled The Pearl Odyssey brought together more than forty jewels and outstanding pieces, bearing witness to the tradeshow’s commitment to promoting jewellery arts. The exhibition was made possible through the support of Chaumet, the Alfardan Collection, the Flee Project collective, SSEF and a private collector, with the collaboration of partner exhibitors (Faerber-Collection, Gem Collectors Bookshop, Heritage Gems, Horovitz & Totah SA, Joseph Gad, Nicolas Torroni, Ocean Flame and Swiss Pearls) and other dealers including Hofer Antischmuck, Oasis Pearl · and Ecija; all joining forces in this unique undertaking as they agreed to put some of their finest pieces on display for the occasion. · A space dedicated to Arts & Crafts devised in partnership with the Jewelsmithing Crafts Association of Romandie (ASMEBI) and partner schools Geneva Vocational Training Centre for Arts & Crafts (CFP Arts Genève) and École Technique de la Vallée de Joux (ETVJ) hosted a programme of demonstrations of expertise by enamellers, chain-makers, sheath-makers, inlayers, laceworkers, glassmiths, and specialists in 3-D metal printing. "Precious stones and the creation and design of jewellery are of course important to us; nurturing genuine solidarity, bringing together the international community of dealers in precious stones and antique jewellery, designers, and all those with a passion for jewels is equally important”. Award presented at the seventh edition - Donna Jewel x GemGenève project with students from Galdus School The Donna Jewel ‘People’s Choice’ award was presented to the winner, Francesca Quartieri As part of the ‘Be the change’ project launched by the GemGenève team and journalist, instructor and influencer Laura Inghirami, 21 students from Galdus School in Milan were invited to produce 21 pieces of jewellery. Throughout the four-day event, these students in their last year of the ‘High Technician for the Production of High Quality Made in Italy goldsmith products – ITS class II’ course at the Galdus School in Milan in 2023/2024 celebrated the excellence of ‘Made in Italy’ at GemGenève. The theme of this creative project was movement. As Laura Inghirami says, “movement is evocative of courage, growth, and shifting towards new horizons. It creates unity and entails consequences. It’s said that the beating of a butterfly’s wings can cause a hurricane on the other side of the world”. The Donna Jewel ‘People’s Choice’ award was presented on 5 November 2023 to Francesca Quartieri for her ‘kinetic brooch’ entitled Astraea (the Greek goddess of purity and justice). The piece is inspired by the lotus flower, which in Japanese culture symbolises the purity of the soul. The winner will benefit from more visibility thanks to an interview with Laura Inghirami to be published on Donna Jewel’s social media pages.

I TICKETS ON SALE NOW TO SEE FORMULA E RACERS LIGHT UP DIRIYAH Formula E, motorsport’s most competitive world championship, returns to the streets of Diriyah on Friday, 26 January and Saturday, 27 January for a spectacular double-header of night races. Fans can get 20% off all tickets until 15 November with prices starting at just 80 SAR. Diriyah will host the first double-header and only night races in the milestone Season 10 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship. 22 drivers from 11 teams featuring the biggest automotive brands including McLaren, Maserati, Jaguar, Nissan and Mahindra will compete in the GEN3 race car capable of 200 mph. Full day of family entertainment before each race including race simulators in the gaming arena, live music performances and much more. Tickets can be bought online at https://webook.com/en-US/events/2024-diriyah-e-prix Formula E and promoter CBX today announced that tickets for the 2024 Diriyah E-Prix are on sale now with a 20% discount until Wednesday 15 November. Reduced ticket prices start at just 80 SAR. Formula E returns to Diriyah on Friday, 26 January and Saturday, 27 January following the most competitive season in its history which saw all on-track speed records smashed and triple-digit overtakes in most races. The Drivers’ and Teams’ world titles were decided on the final race weekend of the season with Britain’s Jake Dennis (Andretti Formula E Team) crowned the top driver and Envision Racing earning the honours as best team. Dennis will be determined to defend his world title in Diriyah and will be desperate to overcome the disappointment of last season when bitter rival Pascal Wehrlein, of TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team, pushed him into second place in both races. Wehrlein, meanwhile, will be out to repeat his Diriyah double victory in his bid to dethrone Dennis in the 16-race Formula E season and claim a first Formula E world championship title for himself. Pascal Wehrlein, driver, TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team, said: “I’ll never forget the weekend in Diriyah. Our victories on this tremendous racetrack were one of the highlights of season 9 for me and our team. We had a great car and a perfect strategy. We can’t wait to see what the next season yields, especially at a circuit where we had so much success”. The fast and flowing 2.49km circuit, flanking the At-Turaif UNESCO World Heritage Site, will once again be lit up by the latest low-power LED technology. The LED units reduce energy consumption by up to 50 per cent compared to non-LED units and are powered by sustainably-sourced biofuel generators. Ahead of the world-class racing action which starts at 8pm AST, fans can enjoy family-friendly experiences in the the Allianz Fan Village – Formula E’s immersive fan festival at the heart of every E-Prix – offering a full day of entertainment, exploration and innovation for everyone. Live music from world class artists will be announced soon. Alberto Longo, Co-Founder & Chief Championship Officer, Formula E, said: “The Diriyah races hold a special place in the Formula E calendar. As the only night races of the season and the first double-header, they generate a unique atmosphere for fans and drivers. All 22 drivers will be pushing the record-breaking GEN3 race car harder and faster than ever after it’s ultra-competitive first season which will maximise on-track entertainment. Together with the family-friendly experiences on offer in the Allianz Fan Village, this will be an event to remember and we urge fans not to miss out and get a ticket before it’s too late.” Tickets can be bought online at https://webook.com/en-US/events/2024-diriyah-e-prix www.FIAFormulaE.com Read also: FORMULA E DRIVERS AND ROOKIES ASSEMBLE FOR MILESTONE SEASON 10 TESTING IN SPAIN Formula E and the FIA confirmed the full driver line-up for Season 10 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship which begins with pre-season testing in Valencia this week. For the first time, rookie drivers will also test on the track alongside their elite teammates. Formula E’s 22 drivers from 11 teams will return to the Circuit Ricardo Tormo track where, almost a year ago, the new GEN3 car got a mixed reaction. Since then, the fastest, lightest, most powerful and efficient electric race car ever built has broken all Formula E speed records, while most races saw triple-digit overtakes in Formula E’s most entertaining and exciting season yet. Drivers and teams will return to the track with a more robust understanding of the GEN3 car’s capabilities and a readiness to push its limits even further. Pre-season testing is the first chance for fans to see drivers in their new teams and car liveries. Only three teams retain the same line-up as last season – TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team, DS PENSKE, and NIO 33 Racing – with plenty of high-profile changes. Some notable moves include: Jehan Daruvala, Maserati MSG Racing – the 2023 Formula E rookie will make the step up to a full-time seat following his success in Formula 2. He was also previously one of three Force India F1 Team winners of the ‘One in a Billion’ Hunt. Nyck De Vries, Mahindra Racing - De Vries first joined Formula E in 2019 where he immediately showcased his world-class racing ability to take home the FIA Formula E World Champion title. De Vries returns to Formula E with Mahindra Racing after driving for the F1 team Scuderia AlphaTauri. Lucas di Grassi, ABT CUPRA Formula E Team – the Formula E veteran and former Formula E World Champion will return to ABT Cupra for the team’s second season. Nick Cassidy, Jaguar TCS Racing – last season’s runner-up in the world championship now shares a garage with Mitch Evans who finished just two points behind Cassidy in third, creating a formidable pairing. Oliver Rowland, Nissan Formula E Team – The Brit marks his homecoming to the all-electric series with his return to the Japanese manufacturer. Sam Bird, NEOM McLaren Formula E Team – English team Neom McLaren complete their all-Brit driver line up with the seasoned Bird joining the team. Robin Frijins, Envision Racing – Frijins returns to Envision for Season 10, where he previously spent four years with the customer team and secured a fourth overall in the 2018-2019 season. Rookie testing For the first time, all teams must nominate a rookie who has never driven a GEN3 in a Formula E race to test their skills on the track against the lead drivers. Gabriela Jílková is among the rookies who will make her much-anticipated electric racing debut for TAG Heuer Porsche. One of Czech Republic’s brightest young talents, Jílková is an experienced Prototype Cup Germany race winner, and a Formula Renault and Sportcars competitor. Integrating rookies into pre-season testing is designed to offer new and emerging talent the chance to showcase their skills in the cutting-edge GEN3. Formula E is increasingly seen as a test bed for the best young talent to gain exposure in the sport. They will be able to compete in any one of the six sessions across the week, excluding race simulations. Alberto Longo, Co-Founder & Chief Championship Officer, Formula E, said: “We are excited to give the very best emerging racing talent the chance to show why they deserve a seat in the championship in the future – by going up against the elite drivers and world champions in Formula E today.” Formula E and the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship As the world’s first all-electric FIA World Championship and the only sport certified net zero carbon since inception, the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship brings dramatic racing to the heart of some of the world’s most iconic cities providing an elite motorsport platform for the world’s leading automotive manufacturers to accelerate electric vehicle innovation. The Formula E network of teams, manufacturers, partners, broadcasters, and host cities are united by a passion for the sport and belief in its potential to accelerate sustainable human progress and create a better future for people and planet. www.FIAFormulaE.com ABB ABB is a technology leader in electrification and automation, enabling a more sustainable and resource-efficient future. The company’s solutions connect engineering know-how and software to optimize how things are manufactured, moved, powered and operated. Building on more than 130 years of excellence, ABB’s ~105,000 employees are committed to driving innovations that accelerate industrial transformation. www.abb.com Pack nicotine alternatives Smoking cessation isn’t a one-and-done thing; being out with friends—especially smokers—might exacerbate your cravings. Instead of giving in and asking for a smoke, tobacco-free alternatives can help tamp down those urges. Nicotine pouches are a great product for a night out. Most nicotine pouches come in cans, which allow users to experience nicotine satisfaction on the go. Another great option is nicotine patches, which have been around for decades as a quitting aid. Brands like Habitrol nicotine patches come with two or three-step programs over eight or twelve weeks, gradually lowering the nicotine dose after some time. all images © Read our Summer Issue See Haute couture from Dior, Alexis Mabille, Georges Hobeika, Zuhair Murad, Valentino and more Explore Moralmoda Art Culture Lifestyle Travel Business Interviews Events ​ Get in touch About us Contacts Subscribe
