Partly-Finished Megayacht Listed For Sale

Filed under: Water

What happens to dream deferred? Sometimes it ends up for sale. De Valk International has announced a listing for the sale of the partly finished 150-foot displacement motoryacht, "Dream" from the Aarhus Shipyard in Denmark. Shipyard Aarhus had already completed the steel hull and the aluminum superstructure except for the sundeck roof and the yacht wears a coat of primer. Both the interior design and layout of the yacht can be customized for the new owner. It is being sold "as is, where is" for 2.9 million euros. The yacht can be finished within a year which offers a significant time jump versus starting from scratch.

Danish Luxury Label Noir to Open 1st Store in Dubai

Filed under: Apparel

In the latest addition to Dubai's burgeoning fashion scene, hip Danish eco-luxury label Noir plans to open its very first standalone store there rather than Denmark, Paris, London or New York.

Founded in 2005 by designer Peter Ingwersen with the intention of creating "meaningfulness in the luxury segment," the line focuses on ethical, environmentally friendly sources for its materials and supports ecologically sound principles and developing nations.

Ingwersen has also produced a collection of organic cottons in Uganda, and recently announced plans for a diffusion line. "We decided to go international with the first [store]," Ingwersen told WWD about debuting in Dubai. "It's brand heaven there."

As we reported previously, Donatella Versace and Karl Lagerfeld are among the designers with Dubai projects up their sleeves.

A New World's Most Expensive Beer

by Deidre Woollard (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Dining

We've seen some pretty expensive beers before (the sippable Sam Adams Utopia springs immediately to mind) but the new brew from Carlsberg is now the proud owner of the title of world's most expensive beer. The Carlsberg Vintage No.1 costs close to $400 a bottle (2,008 Danish kroner or $396.47 to be exact). The beer will be sold in just three Copenhagen restaurants. Why so expensive? The 10.5 percent proof beer is a very limited edition of just 600 bottles. It has been stored in French and Swedish wooden casks and has a deep brown color. The tasting notes reveal prune, caramel and vanilla flavors making it a natural pairing for cheeses and desserts. So far there are no plans to export Vintage No. 1.
