In this issue

Pick up a copy of our September issue to find out what’s behind Jeff Bezos’s $165 billion smile. With the high street fashion market worth US$1.5 trillion, the battle for who will take the biggest slice of the pie is on. Our cover star is the Amazon boss who is going head to head with Pablo Isla, the CEO of Inditex (parent company of Zara). We also take a look at whether being dyslexic could provide an advantage in the C-suite; what Jony Ive’s departure means for Apple; the brilliant minds creating change in Africa; and how flying cars could become a reality within a decade. Plus, we showcase four Swiss smartwatches; go on the ultimate driving tour through Europe; and experience mineral water therapies at Morocco’s new five-star spa hotel.
