THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO THE BEST OF WHAT’S NEW!
HARPER’S BAZAAR INTRODUCES FABULOUSLY FESTIVE FASHION AND THE BEST TRENDS OF THE SEASON!
In celebration of its new flagship bout i que a t 2 6 0 Orchard Road, Harper’s BAZAAR has collaborated with Robinsons’ savvy buyers to bring you our editor’s cut of the best of what’s new. With a new shopping space, comes a whole new shopping experience and coveted international labels that have never before been available in Singapore have finally landed on our shores. New and exclusive women’s fashion brands to Robinsons include international favourites Elizabeth and James, Paul & Joe Sister and Alice by Temperley—to name just a few—as well as the au-courrant The Kooples and Maison Scotch, both French contemporary designers. I was particularly excited to hear that Robinsons will also be stocking By Malene Birger, the very cool Scandanavian brand on every chic girl’s shopping list. On the accessories front, shoe lovers can expect to find Sergio Rossi, Giambattista Valli and Manolo Blahnik as well as the very trendy Charles Phillips, a Shanghai-based designer known for his signature loafers, and I’m loving the selection of handbags by New York City label Rebecca Minkoff. For the men in your life, I’ve yet to see a cooler selection available under one roof. Get him a bomber jacket—a big trend for the season ahead—or play it safe with something denim, there’s an excellent variety of cuts and washes. The all-new beauty hall is not your average beauty department. Think of it as the ultimate beauty destination— a place to shop and to pamper. There’s a nail spa, an aesthetic clinic and a gorgeous trove of beauty brands—including a handful of first timers like independent British makeup l a bel Illa masqua a nd des i gner mainstays s uch a s Michael Kors, Tor y Burch a nd Marni.
Not forgetting the little ones, the children’s wear department carries a selection by Little Marc Jacobs, Stella McCartney Kids and niche brands like Piccolo Bambino and Miho. And for domestic divas, there’s fabulous bedding, inspiring coffee table design books from Taschen and Assouline to spark your creativity, as well as modern furniture and lighting by the masters of Mid Century—Knoll and Cassina.
