A keen collector, El Baradei’s personal interests center on 17th- and 18th-century European tapestries and contemporary Egyptian art, reflecting a curatorial sensibility that bridges historical craftsmanship and modern cultural narratives. As Luxury Editor, he brings a uniquely informed perspective—balancing aesthetics with strategy, heritage with innovation, and connoisseurship with commercial intelligence.
