WHAT THE FEMALE TEAM IS INTO NOW

-

1. Duchess satin bra with feathers and matching skirt and robe, prices unavailabl­e, Dries van Noten “The Belgian designer’s partnershi­p with the exuberant Christian Lacroix for S/S ’20 is pure alchemy. Better yet: that the collection is replete with separates that make dressing up – or down – pure joy.” NOELLE LOH, editor-in-chief

2. Embossed goatskin boots, $2,030, Chloe “Proof that black books don’t have to be boring. Pair with a flowy slip dress for the same pretty-meets-tough mood of the brand’s Resort ’20 show.”

MAYA MENON, digital content producer

3. Lauren X Khoo for Oscar de la Renta Hummingbir­d and Red Cardinal Flower 18K yellow gold earrings with black rhodium, tsavorite, rubies and diamonds, US$18,600 (S$25,380), www.oscardelar­enta.com

“Singapore jeweller Khoo’s tropical birdinspir­ed line for ODLR’s S/S ’20 collection is among some of her most romantic designs (hummingbir­ds are symbols of love in Native American culture), yet still retain her signature youthful wit. Love.”

ADELINE ENG, senior designer

4. Leather shoulder bag, price unavailabl­e, Gucci “And the category is: music festival hipster, but make it high fashion.”

HISYAM A RAHMAN, graphic designer

5. YSL Beaute Libre Eau de Parfum, $119 for 30ml “The fusion of French lavender essence with Moroccan orange blossom and an unexpected musk accord makes for one sophistica­ted floral scent. And how not to love that bottle cap and Cassandre logo?” CHIA YING NA, beauty writer

6. Khairullah Rahim’s Intimate Apparition­s (2019), mixed media installati­on, manipulate­d found objects and ready-mades, dimensions variable, Blk 9 Gillman Barracks

“I’m always amazed at how Khairullah transforms everyday objects into the most beautiful assemblage­s. This submission for the Singapore Biennale (on till March 22) is a tender vision woven with disco balls, cricket bats, PU foam and a kayak boat he embellishe­d with rhinestone­s. Pure magic.” KENG YANG SHUEN, fashion writer
