The Gazetta-Cast

The Singular asks a deceptively simple question: can a beautiful shoe actually survive a real Ramadan night? Jad and Mimi break down Dina Yassin’s piece on style, stamina, and the reality of long evenings that stretch from iftar to late-night gatherings. It’s not about trends. It’s about intention, comfort, and whether what you wear can truly keep up with the life you’re living.

In this episode, Jad and Mimi unpack Ramadan with the Lights On, written by Gazetta’s Editor-in-Chief, Dina Yassin. It’s an honest conversation about observing the holy month in a world that does not slow down. They talk about fasting, noise, intention, and what it really means to protect your energy while staying present. No filters. No performance. Just a real back-and-forth on faith, fatigue, clarity, and why Ramadan still changes everything.

The February 2026 issue of Gazetta is live. In this trailer, Jad and Mimi run through what’s inside, starting with our cover story featuring Giulio Bergamaschi, CEO of Acqua di Parma, marking 110 years of the house. They also preview this month’s features, The Dispatch, the spread, and what’s coming next on the Gazetta-Cast. Plus, a quick update: Gazetta is now accessible for readers who are visually impaired.

In this Singular episode, Jad & Mimi get into Veganologie, the Dubai born label turning recycled bottles, apple waste and bamboo into bags that actually look like future classics. They break down the Nova and Mini Gemma, talk materials, mangroves and real styling, and ask what it means to carry something that looks sharp and quietly does the right thing.

Jad & Mimi unpack “I Ate a Palette,” Gazetta’s food story that treats dinner like color training for the senses. From quiet broths to sharp pigments, sushi cuts and the way scent edits a room, they talk about how a tasting menu can reset how you see plates, light and even your own kitchen.

Jad & Mimi sit with Gazetta’s first issue of 2026 and walk you through what is really going on behind the soft white of Pantone’s Cloud Dancer. From the cover and Manuela’s color breakdown to Dubai’s quiet wellness corners, serious sneakers, Starship Cosmodreams, lunch bag essentials and a still-evolving Dispatch, this is your quick orientation before you open the digital issue. Tune in, get the lay of the land, then go read the stories and argue with us in your head.

In this Editions & Essentials episode, Jad and Mimi sit with one object of the month from The Singular: the Small Andiamo bag by Bottega Veneta. They talk through intrecciato leather, structure, compartments and why this bag feels like a quiet connector between cities, roles and late flights. It is an honest look at price, value and who actually needs a piece like this, away from the flatlay fantasy. One bag, many lives, and a reminder that if you are going to invest, your things should keep up with your real calendar, not your moodboard.

Jad and Mimi walk through the world’s Christmas markets without leaving their chairs, using Gazetta’s “Markets, Mugs and Memory” as a map. From Bolzano’s Wishing Tree and Laives’ small town warmth to Strasbourg’s theatre, Vienna’s choreography, Cologne’s cathedral squares and the remix energy of Tokyo and New York, they ask what these winter villages are really saying about community. It is less about fairy lights and more about courage on branches, chipped mugs, and the small rituals that make cold cities feel human for a few weeks. A conversation for anyone who loves markets, and anyone who quietly watches people more than the stalls.

Jad and Mimi close out 2025 with Gazetta’s December issue, “Building Bridges: The Power of Creative Connection.” They unpack the Beirut cover story with Lebanese artist Carla Chamoun, from Prague orchestras to Hans Zimmer stages and a studio day at ONE:SIXTEEN. The conversation moves through Gold Noise, our sequined, slightly reckless holiday spread, into Ivan Allegranti’s Dispatch on Missoni in Sydney, Riyadh’s design moment, Gucci’s next Cruise stop and more. Dina’s takes on the Saint Laurent campaign and that very serious beanie join Azza Fahmy’s scarabs, December markets, baby spa rituals, tax season strategy and a Bottega bag that quietly keeps up with all of it.

In our November 2025 episode, Jad and Mimi step inside Gazetta’s “Evolving in Time” issue. From Qatar Museums and Divina Adnani’s press trip to a cover drawn from the archive, they unpack how nations, brands, and people decide what to keep and what to change. They walk through The Dispatch with Ivan Allegranti (Chanel, Buccellati, Brioni, Concrete, Dua Lipa x Augustinus Bader), then dive into features by April Branch, Manuela Pirola, EVVIE 7, Mova Wonen NL, Robert McFadden, and Manic Momboss.
