Interior designer Katharine Pooley offers a selection of products from her eponymous boutique. This season’s selection centres on the white and bronze colour schemes like the Coco Vase that is crafted in shagreen with bronze-patina brass to contrast; the Coco Bowl that exudes luxury and sophistication and is available in varying sizes and finishes; the Classic Brass Shagreen frame that has a metal-frame finish for a clean contemporary look; and the Constellation frame that is embellished with Mother of Pearl to depict the night sky. Check out the full collection at her online boutique store.
Past revisited
Give yourself a new look with Pinko’s fall/winter 2021 collection that features an eclectic and versatile style for the women of today. Dynamic with a bit of rock-and-roll edge to her, the collection is very much 1970s inspired with 1990s references thrown in for good measure. Check out the artisanal outerwear styles that include customised military jackets, trenches with eco-leather details and 70s parkas. Bon-ton bouclé skirt suits have also been revived with pairings of t-shirts and gothic motifs, while 90s logomania makes a comeback on selected pieces.
Love conquers all
B.P. de Silva Jewellers gets us in the mood for love and travel through the Lovedrops collection which stems from a personal story between creative director Shanya Amarasuriya and design manager Khek Yin when they were based at opposite ends of the world. Regardless of the separation, love surrounds them and brings magic to life. The Lovedrops design features a medley of timeless diamonds and each piece is intricately crafted with either a combination of 18K rose and white gold or full 18K rose gold.
Inclusive future
Coca-Cola and Asics want to promote inclusivity through sports. They have come together to debut the Gel-Quantum 90TM TYO sports shoe that features the “Pass the baton to the future” message. The shoes carry the iconic red on Coke’s corporate collaterals with Asics stripes. Materials used include roughly four PET plastic bottles’ worth of recycled polyester, while the environmentally-friendly sockliner base material is made of recycled polyurethane.
Style reimagined
Zegna continues to transform the idea of luxury to wearable clothing with Luxury Leisurewear for men. Zegna reimagines classics to reflect how our lives have changed as we lounge, live and work in one place. These hybrid designs are specifically engineered to be easy to wear and easy to pack. The collection comprises water-repellent field jackets, next-gen cargo pants and hooded anoraks. Utilitarian pockets, zippers and hoods also bring functionality to multifaceted outfits that adapt to different locations and weather conditions.
Cover up
Fashion and make-up guru Tom Ford has launched the Shade and Illuminate Soft Radiance Foundation SPF 50/PA++++ that merges three-dimensional radiance with nourishing, protecting skincare. The medium to full coverage foundation features a blend of advanced elastomers and light-diffusing powders to create the perfect radiant surface to reflect soft light. “We all instinctively respond to light and symmetry — these can be used to enhance your natural features and bring out your unique beauty,” says Ford.
