Glamorous Powder
You probably think you know St. Moritz from all the different reports, stories and recommendations quite well. Think again. Apart from champagne, luxury suites and fur coats there is so much more to do than you thought.
St. Moritz, located in the Southern Alps, on the stunning Upper Engadine lakes in Switzerland, is the oldest winter sports resort in the world and the most glamorous Alpine retreat.

History of Print part 1
This blog was supposed to be about the history of print, but really, where would I start...
With SS12 production delivery almost upon us, and Resort 2012 to start it would be safer for the future of the business if this topic was broken down into much smaller, digestible sections.
And so I bring you part 1, probably the most relevant form of printing at Dunn towers, extremely important and close to our hearts, the ancient and traditional art of wooden block printing…….

Wee timourous beasties... Burns Night Celebrations
Have you ever heard of a Shakespeare night, or a Wordsworth day?
Welcome to Vienna!
Vienna used to be terribly old-fashioned.
It is the city of classical music and was 3-4 centuries ago home to the most impressive composers and pianists of the world - Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert and Johann Strauss to name just a few.
With the Wiener Philharmonics (one of the world’s top orchestras), the Vienna Boys’ Choir and the Vienna Conservatorium the classical music tradition has been preserved right to the present day.
New Year = New You
January can be the toughest and most depressing time of year!
After Christmas and New Year, indulging in too much alcohol, and over eating all the wrong kinds of food, it is time to rewire our brains and get back to the land of the clean and lean!
Apparently 95% of Brits will make a resolution; the majority of us will abandon them within a month.
The number one resolution for the nation is losing weight -most will fall of the diet wagon after 15 days.
2012 it’s a leap year!
We’re feeling rather decrepit, we have eaten and drunk our way through December and now we’re expected to party some more…is New Year as a night overrated?!
Well... seeing as the winter is still looking rather long and we have an extra day in February to get through, we thought we’d give you some inspiration and some information on last minute parties except that it really is too last minute so here are just a few hints!
Interpret Christmas
We all know the story of Christmas and its origins - most of us have been the third shepherd in a Nativity play at some point! But although we know about the birth of Christ and we understand its significance to all Christians around the world there are many other intrinsic parts of Christmas that have evolved over the years, through countries and families to make it what it is today.
Advent Calendars, wreaths and the Christmas tree…
The Maldives - the ultimate in Crusoe chic
The Maldives is an archipelago of almost 1,200 coral islands southwest of India. The main atolls aptly named north and south are home to many of the worlds most luxurious beach resorts and no matter how I try, I can’t get past a thousand text book clichés to describe the place – pristine, turquoise waters, white sand etc! The vibe is definitely one of barefoot chic but don’t be fooled into thinking this destination has no action - the stunning diving and snorkeling makes it an adventure holiday as well as chill out.

It’s that time of year when some of you lucky people escape the chill and head to warm weather climates. The Maldives or the Caribbean shores for the holidays? Either sounds totally green with envy making but you'll be needing some packing inspiration...
