Chanel
Founded in 1910, the small shop selling ladies headwear had moved to the upmarket Rue Cambon within a year. The house became especially famous with the elegant little black dress, tweed suit, and its signature No. 5 fragrance, which debuted in 1921.
Ernext Beaux later went on to create many other perfumes for Chanel, including No. 22 (1922) and Bois des Iles (1926), all of which were reintroduced as boutique exclusives around 1986. Chanel revolutionized haute couture fashion by completely replacing the traditional corset with the comfort and casual elegance of simple suits and dresses.
Today Chanel provides high end accessories in a number of market areas. Of course the focus is still on fashion, as when the company started, and chanel are best known for their handbags and sunglasses.
Fragrances are another facet of the business, with their No.5 perfume being renowned across the globe. more recently other lines have been added, including both jewellery and watch making.

The Fat Duck
The Fat duck in Bray was opend by Heston Blumenthal in 1995. It quickly gained a reputation for its excellent French bistro style food, and gained its first Michelin star in 1998. Within six years The Fat Duck had been awarded its third Michelin star, and soon afterwards it was named "Best Restaurant in the World"
Heston Blumenthal has made his reputation not only by serving world class food, but also from his devotion to the study of "Molecular Gastronomy". Simply put, this is the process of finding out not only what food tastes like, but why it tasts the way it does, and what made it so. the dishes which have come out of this type of cooking include snail porridge, Oak moss and Quail Jelly.
As well as the tasting menu which contains these strange concoctions, there is a more traditional a la carte menu which lists Saddle of Venision, Best end of Lamb and Roast Turbot.
Reservations at the Fat Duck are very difficult to come by - it is important to call as early as possible, but bear in mind it is impossible to book more than three months in advance.

Arash Cars
Arash Sportscars was born out of the passion for cars, the enchantment of beauty and the thrill of driving the seemingly endless accerleration of a thoroughbred engine.
Arash Cars was established in March 2006 and has been working on AF10 ever since.
The styling drawings were made in March 2005 by Arash Farboud Designs and have since been converted into computer models and aerodynamic CFD mesh models. The chassis was designed over a 6 month period by Ashley Gaunt in association with Arash Cars to package the bodywork and chosen engine.
The company is located in Sawston on the ourskirts of Cambridge. Most testing will be conducted at Millbrooke Proving grounds 20 miles away from the company. The facility in Sawston Cambridge is equipped with a styling studio, painting booth, carbon lamination room, parts despatch area, Carbon Curing Autoclave Oven and polished epoxy floored car assembly stations. A board room and administration offices are also located at the site.
AF10 features an advanced road car aerodynamic package.
The package includes a radical front wing separated from the main front body clam and strong air intake side pods.
These features have taken influences from Lemans racing cars and F1 cars, however perform specific functions for the overall performance of the car. Split radiators have been used for the front and Oil radiators have been postioned in the side pods including air intakes. Active front and rear wings have been used to achieve an overall impressive aeropackage for high speed stability and low speed grip. The position of the front wing is unique to the current car industry today and is a ‘signiture’ to the Arash Cars family.

ArmorTech
The company’s name is self-explanatory, it consists of two words Armor - short for “the armour” – and Tech – short for “the technology” - which means "the technology of armouring". The brand logo is Armadillo with armoured plates instead of skin and wheels instead of paws, which represents main activity of the company.
At present ArmorTech is an approved distributor and a dealer of several European automotive manufacturers. ArmorTech supply not only armoured vehicles, but wide range of executive cars and luxury limousines as well.
ArmorTech designs on your demand individually customized and tailor-made luxury limousines on the top level of the European Automotive Industry.
The company’s experts will help you to carry out the qualified examination of any armoured vehicle, determine the manufacturer, the vehicle wear degree as well as actual protection level according to European standard DIN EN.
ArmorTech uses all its great work experience in Russian and foreign market of armoured vehicles, protection and safety equipment to contribute to the common cause of security participating in suppression of terrorism and preventing possible negative impact.
Room for dreams
The people at AmorTech know everything about special wishes. Whether special protection measures, unusual interior appointments, or the stretching of a vehicle to customer specification – we make dreams come true.
That the experts from AmorTech know their stuff is demonstrated by three long versions of luxury limousines based on new S-class L W221 chassis. Despite being stretched by 400 and 500 millimeters and having their body connections modified or redesigned, they retain the qualities one expects of the basic vehicle – highest comfort in combination with individual design.
Luxury vehicles from AmorTech score high in the area of individualized appointments, functionality and comfort – the strong points which distinguish any vehicle created to satisfy special needs. We leave no wish unfulfilled.
Highbred driving pleasure
The extended wheel base versions created on base of S-class L W221 chassis are cars that redefine the terms looks and comfort. Their design and individual interior fittings live up to the highest expectations. The only thing that can top them is driving them.
Stretching the rear doors by 150 millimeters and the C-pillar by 250 millimeters in one case and stretching the middle of the vehicle by 500 millimeters in the other has furnished ample freedom of movement to the occupants – and makes the luxury vehicles singular and distinctive. These fantastic automobiles with an overall length of 5.60 and 5.70 meters were common developed, produced and supplied by ArmorTech within just twelve – fourteen weeks in dependently of the design.
ArmorTech partner’s designers and engineers constructed the vehicle’s body shell entirely of sheet metal, using the same high-strength steels as in the basic vehicle. All sheet metal components of the body shell were manufactured with tools designed in-house. To prevent the deterioration of weld quality in long-term use, the stretched rear doors got a completely new carbon fiber outer skin besides.
Details as desired
A true masterpiece must appeal to the eyes and the senses.
The extension is ideally and harmoniously integrated thanks to painstaking revision of the design lines in the side and longitudinal views. But it’s not just 400 or 500 millimeters more car than usual that creates a long eye-catcher. The exclusive interior also does its part to create a spacious ambience, leaving nothing to be desired.
For example, structural parts of the side paneling of the interior were lengthened and reupholstered by designer’s in-house upholstering department. Solely original materials are used throughout the interior, whether leather, fabric or nonwovens. ArmorTech workers fashioned even details of the door trim completely to customer specification.
The long version made one base of S-class L W221 chassis stand for passion without compromise, dynamism with substance, and professionalism to the last detail.

“Audio Sushi is as bright as an iPod in the dark. Given that my choice of music ranges from Dolly Parton to The Strokes, with a bit of Disney and Italian house thrown in between I was ready to be disappointed by the result of my over-the-phone brief with Kerrin. Instead I realised Kerrin has a great passion/memory for music (the good and the bad), she offered new bands that I hadn't heard off based on the one's I said I loved and refreshed my memory about classics I had forgotten about. The end result was a birthday party to remember and a much coveted collection of tracks spread over 3 CD's constantly played on my computer and iPod. Go ahead - press play.” Alison Whelan, Audio Sushi Client
