MAKE YOUR MOVE
It has been months since Singapore has reawakened. Over here at Prestige, we could barely keep up with the endless events and social appointments. Whatever reservations we had about travelling and gathering, they’ve certainly been thrown out the window. The recent Singapore Grand Prix 2022 and its fringe activities, along with plenty of international-scale events, clearly demonstrated this new vigour.
This Bold edition, we bring to you a slew of fresh faces who are taking on life with gusto and fearlessness. Take our cover personality David Z Wang for example. The fintech entrepreneur, who co-founded Helicap in 2018, has found such success with his vision of sustainable finance that within four short years, his firm has already disbursed over $200 million to help the unbanked and underbanked in the region.
Surely, it is also this new generation of power brokers with a heart who are inspiring the younger ones out there. Check out our profiles on four bright, young adults who hail from familiar society families – Louisa Ong, Hilton Rogers, Brandon Cheong and Micaela Lai – on their purpose and dreams.
In the spirit of youth and freedom, we also present a stunning fashion spread highlighting the edgy and enigmatic looks from Autumn/winter 22. Also, our features on the latest iconic bags to hit the stores should get you set for the year-end festive season. Speaking of bags, we have also been intrigued by Stella Mccartney’s new “conscious luxury” purses made from organic materials like mushrooms and grapes – find out more in our interview with her!
Watch and jewellery collectors will have much to gush over in one of our biggest line-ups of stories ever. We tackle the question of what defines 21st century jewellery art, and dive into the rarefied world of métiers d’art timepieces. There are also pages and pages of the latest audacious high jewellery creations.
From what we know, many are already planning their holidays in 2023 and beyond. For a bucket list-type of adventure, look to our story on a most fascinating expedition to the High Arctic. Polar bears are likely to disappear in our lifetime in some regions in the world, so don’t wait to see the last of these majestic creatures. For something a little more immediate, peruse our helpful travel compilation on the latest experiences in our favourite city, Paris.
These last few months of the year are sure to zip away as quickly as our featured car this month, the Lamborghini Huracán STO.
