Vogue has a feature on Beirut.
Via Brigitte Bardot.
Cue - patriotism and ooh and aah.
For anyone else who wishes to see past the glitter, small reminder: Unfortunately, the current socio-politico-economico-geographical circumstances are too close for comfort to the ones that gave birth to the bloody civil war. Namely: Large split between social classes, acute economic disparity, heavy influx of neighboring populations, and a country at crosshairs of sectarian and feudal rule via complying religious figures.
OK, now that this has been said, you can go shopping at the addresses suggested I suppose.
