ASIAN DESIGN
Versace Eyewear presents its first collection and campaign created exclusively for the Asian market. The campaign features celebrity and key opinion leader, Dany Lee. The sunglasses are glamorous and embody a square-style featuring a modern metal bridge construction and gooseneck nose pads. This sleek design boasts the new golden Greca cast metal temples. This sun model is available in burgundy with matte gold temples and violet gradient brown lenses or in black with gold temples and dark grey lenses. The optical rendition is fashion-forward and chic, boasting a slightly oversized, rounded panthos frame with gooseneck nose pads. Golden Greca cast metal temples enhance the feminine design.

1791, A REMARKABLE YEAR
Girard-Perregaux was founded 230 years ago in 1791, the same year an English clergyman, William Gregor, discovered titanium in Cornwall. With the release of the Laureato Absolute Ti 230, the new model unites the Manufacturer’s know-how with the lightweight element. The resultant two watches are contemporary, rich in character and repeatedly play with contrasting shades and shapes. Further highlighting this important anniversary, the Ti 230 blue dial reference will be distributed exclusively through Wempe for the first month following its launch. The Laureato Absolute Ti 230 unites the two stories of Girard-Perregaux and William Gregor, drawing on know- how amassed over 230 years. Titanium comes in many forms, sometimes alloyed with other elements. Girard- Perregaux prefers to use Grade 5 titanium as it is particularly strong, corrosion resistant, lightweight and hypoallergenic; attributes that enrich the wearer’s experience.

BURBERRY LANDSCAPES
Burberry has unveiled a giant Olympia bag in the heart of Singapore at the ION Orchard Shopping Mall on Orchard Road. The Olympia bag is a structured and sculptural bag that has a crescent curve that moulds closely against the body, an athletic aura told through its defined arc. This is the latest evolution of Burberry’s awe-inspiring takeovers of the global landscapes. The larger- than-life Olympia began its journey in London, United Kingdom, travelling along the River Thames. The Olympia bag is expertly made in the highest-quality leather, chosen for its memorable beauty and unique characteristics. Each bag is crafted in Italy and hand-shaped and painted by artisan makers. It’s allure is the unique curved silhouette hand-moulded on a wooden block to create its structure. Available in a myriad of sizes, the bag features gold or palladium-plated hardware engraved with the Burberry logo.

TRANS-AVANT-GARDISM
Hublot celebrates a long-awaited milestone – a second standalone boutique in Kuala Lumpur. Overlooking Pavilion Kuala Lumpur’s central concourse, it flaunts the new design language of trans-avant-gardism that expresses the brand’s mastery of innovative materials. Etched anodised aluminium panels shroud the three facades of the corner-lot boutique in 19 metres of sleek matte black. The Hublot experience begins at the exterior with two giga-screens flashing snapshots of its universe, spanning striking collections to creative collaborations. Glass, metal and cutting-edge technology coalesce to exude the Art of Fusion philosophy that catapulted the brand to the summit of contemporary Swiss luxury watchmaking.

CREATIVE DUALITY
Free-spirited, energetic and authentic — who could better embody both the creative duality of the Clash [Un]limited collection and the French neoclassicism of the Double C de Cartier bag? A long-time friend of the Maison, actress Lily Collins is an individualist with a strong sense of elegance. Her curious and multifaceted nature echoes Cartier’s ambition to collaborate with individuals dedicated to deep commitments. “For me, being part of the Cartier family means joining a community of unique non-conformists who show great strength of character. Cartier is Paris, it’s this certain idea of elegance and French refinement which the Clash [Un]limited jewellery and the Double C bag embody with classic extravagance,” said Lily Collins.
