OF AN ERA
The first CELINE store in Singapore conceptualised by Hedi Slimane has officially opened at The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands. At almost 320sqm, the duplex is also the brand’s largest store in Southeast Asia. It boasts all the hallmarks of Slimane’s overhaul of the brand’s retail spaces— think Brutalist marble and concrete juxtaposed with the warmth of reclaimed oak, polished brass and gold.The new flagship store also marks the introduction of the House’s menswear and haute parfumerie collections in our market.
Clare Waight Keller has exited Givenchy after three years at its helm as artistic director. The first woman to hold the position, her tenure was filled with plenty of high points—from Meghan Markle’s wedding dress to the spectacular revival of its haute couture. Most notably, Waight Keller brought a renewed sense of elegance to Givenchy, steering the brand closer to the spirit of refinement established by its founder, Hubert de Givenchy.
