Editor’s Foreword – October 2025

Welcome to the latest edition of BUZZAAR, where lifestyle, culture, and innovation converge across the Gulf. As the region continues to evolve at an unprecedented pace, so do the stories that define it—from the rise of visionary female entrepreneurs and trailblazing tech innovations to the reimagining of traditions in fashion, wellness, and urban living.

This issue celebrates the spirit of modernity rooted in heritage, highlighting the Gulf’s vibrant creative renaissance. Inside, you will discover how young innovators are blending local culture with global trends, whether through sustainable fashion, culinary experimentation, or groundbreaking smart city designs. From the bustling streets of Dubai to the serene landscapes of Oman and the visionary projects in NEOM and Doha, our coverage captures the pulse of a region where ambition meets authenticity.

We also explore lifestyle trends that resonate on a personal level—wellness routines that nurture body and mind, curated experiences that transform everyday living, and the evolving art and design scene that is reshaping the cultural map of the GCC. Each feature in this edition is chosen not just to inform, but to inspire, encouraging our readers to embrace change, celebrate creativity, and live intentionally.

At BUZZAAR, we believe that lifestyle is more than aesthetics; it is a reflection of identity, vision, and aspiration. Whether you are seeking ideas, inspiration, or insight, we hope this edition sparks curiosity, conversation, and a deeper connection to the extraordinary world around you.

Enjoy the journey.

With curiosity and clarity,
Austin D’Silva, The Editor | BUZZAAR Lifestyle Magazine
