How a Los Angeles church was reborn as a hotel – and why more could follow

There is a cross on the roof, stained glass windows and a choir loft upstairs, but this whitewashed three-level building near Sunset Boulevard in Silver Lake, Los Angeles, is no longer a house of worship. It is the Hotel Lucile, a 25-room boutique lodging that opened in September 2026 with a restaurant and bar in the high-ceilinged sanctuary where church-goers once gathered. This opening follows more than a decade of controversy and transformation, including a community debate, bankruptcy and...

Style Edit: Boucheron’s ivy motif blooms with new Lierre de Paris high jewellery creations

Ivy has a way of making itself at home. It climbs, curls and spreads with little regard for where it is supposed to stop, taking over walls and trees with its fast-growing natural architecture. For Frédéric Boucheron, that freedom was precisely the attraction. Of all the plants that appeared in his jewellery, ivy became one of the most persistent – a fitting symbol for a jeweller who was drawn to nature in its less orderly forms. The motif entered the Boucheron archives in 1870 and, by the end...

Boucheron CEO Hélène Poulit-Duquesne on Histoire de Style and Carte Blanche

In 2020, Hélène Poulit-Duquesne, CEO of Boucheron, made a bold move in the very traditional world of high jewellery.

Think one-of-a-kind creations made with the most precious metals and rarest stones, often requiring years of handiwork. Founded in 1858 and the first jeweller to be based in Paris’ Place Vendôme, Boucheron is known for its unique approach to the...

Can HRT help prevent dementia? New research suggests it might, depending on key factors

This is the 99th instalment in a series on dementia, including the research into its causes and treatment, advice for carers and stories of hope. Will using hormone replacement therapy (HRT) preserve a woman’s brain health and protect her from dementia or not? The debate continues.
