Not to Be MISSED
Marking a seismic shift in its creative direction, this year Singapore Fashion Week is putting the spotlight firmly back on Asian design talent, rather than on the international names of recent years. Highlights will include Chinese couturier Guo Pei, Indian-american fashion designer Naeem Khan, Singaporean Max Tan’s label MAX.TAN and Malaysian-born, London-based designer Han Chong’s contemporary womenswear label Self Portrait. Complementing them will be a host of creative local labels – each with its own aesthetic – including Ong Shunmugam, Chi Chi von Tang, Exhibit and more. Held at the expansive National Gallery, it’s set to be a beautiful celebration of art, fashion, design and Asian heritage!

Luxe Appeal
Popular French luxury swimwear brand ERES has launched its very own lingerie collection – think silky satins, plunging necklines and lace trim. Top of our lust list is this stunning long-sleeved bodysuit, which breathes elegant, feminine sophistication. #01-12, Four Seasons Hotel.
Watch This!
In the market for a new watch for work or play? Thomas Sabo’s new range of watches comes up tops for its stylish yet practical designs.

A Must-splurge
We’ve got our eye on this stunning cuff from Monica Vinader’s new range, the minimalist Naida collection. Set in rose gold, it features sparkling blue diamonds for an unusual and eye-catching pop of colour – the perfect statement for your next event! If you’re interested, you’d better hot-foot it down to Takashimaya pronto, as the full blue diamond range is available only from 3 to 16 October.
Fancy Footwork
As accessories addicts, we believe that a good pair (or ten!) of shoes is essential. That’s why we’re digging Aldo’s latest range, which has everything from sky-high pumps for a dinner date to comfy flats for a weekend brunch. Check out these gorgeous animal-print sandals – just throw on a sundress and you’ll be resort-ready in a jiffy. $119, available at Aldo outlets.
