All the world’s a stage
Fashion houses are getting extremely creative when it comes to staging their fashion shows in this pandemic world. Valentino had their runway show at the Piccolo Teatro di Milano, Milan. The collection for women features pleated skirts to new proportions, peacoats and jackets are transformed into capes, and evening dresses to flying panels are held together by ribbons while the men’s trousers are neatly sliced above the ankles.
Chain reaction
Pazzion spring/summer 2021 Dawn to Dusk collection of bags and shoes allows a woman to go from office to dinner without having to change a thing. We love the Quilted Chain Strap Shoulder Bag which is a vintage-inspired quilted design with two inner compartments.
Royal watch
The Joséphine collection by Chaumet gets an update that features the personality of the Empress, the first major client of Maison Chaumet. Joséphine Aigrette and Joséphine Ronde d’Aigrettes jewellery are uniquely shaped watches. The Joséphine Valse Impériale and Joséphine Duo Éternel High Jewellery recall the splendour of festivities at court and the legendary couple she formed there with Napoléon. These new items can be mixed and matched with the collection’s existing creations to compose a unique style.
Don’t feel like doing anything
On Pedder has teamed up with Hong Kong-based artist Charlene Man to present The Joy of Being Lazy, that is inspired by hygge, a Danish concept about practicing deliberate moments of cosy comfort to improve wellbeing. From March 22 to April 30, experience Charlene’s quirky-cute shrines set up at select On Pedder stores. While browsing through the store check out the shoes such as cosy slip-ons, easy flats, and slouchy, soft silhouettes.
Sneak peeks
The sneaker is now an acceptable dress code in most places and it is so timely that Longchamp releases a new collection. The Freeminder sneaker is distinguished by its supercharged outsole, it’s no-tie, elastic lace that is secured with a shiny metal version of Longchamp’s emblematic bamboo toggle. The racehorse and rider logo is present on two graphic black- on-white and white-on- black models in smooth cowhide.
What lies beneath
Maskne occurs when sweat, skin oils and bacteria are trapped on the skin while wearing a face mask. Face masks can cause irritation by either physically rubbing against the skin, which damages the skin’s protective barrier, or by trapping moisture, which can cause acne. To avoid this use afterglow, a facial mist that contains 100% natural plant-based ingredients.
