Dior Grand Bal Broderie Florale
After launching this series in 2024, the collection has grown by another—the new Dior Grand Bal Brodeire Florale. Continuing its tribute to Christian Dior’s passion for balls and haute couture dresses, this new addition is a masterpiece of fine craftsmanship. Made from white gold and platinum, it takes the delicate shape of a net, with a brilliance enhanced by diamonds and pink sapphires to add that unique feminine touch. The Dior Grand Bal Broderie Florale will be launched globally this 7 March 2025.
Berluti’s grand opening
Berluti’s newly relocated boutique is pretty something. Situated on the second floor at Ngee Ann City, the 98-sqm boutique is designed to offer an unparalleled shopping experience for anyone who appreciates a cosy, distinctive ambience. Look forward to Berluti’s extensive shoe collection—formal and informal—leather goods and ready-to-wear.
Louis Vuitton’s new Tambour collection pillar
Recently presented at the LVMH Watch Week, the Tambour collection’s three new models showcase exceptional craftsmanship and rather precious materials and gemstones. The Tambour Platinum Rainbow, for instance, is made with a noble metal that’s prized for its density and brilliant silver-white lustre, and set with a rainbow gradient of sapphires and rubies totalling 2.5 carats. The other two models include the Tambour Yellow Gold Onyx with an onyx dial and bezel set with saffron-coloured sapphires, and the Tambour Ceramic, a true technical achievement in ceramic mastery that’s enhanced by pink gold accents all around.
Rolls-Royce announces the Black Badge Spectre
Rolls-Royce Motor Cars just unveiled the Black Badge Spectre, the marque’s alter ego and most powerful Rolls-Royce in history. Made for clients who fearlessly reject convention, the Black Back Spectre is a clear statement of power and purpose, built with a zealousness that can summon 659 hp and 1,075 Nm of torque. It also features a ‘spirited mode’, which allows the driver to experience a burst of intense, instantaneous acceleration. Simply engage the function by fully depressing the brake and throttle at the same time, wait for a haptic and visual response signalling the car is ready, before finally releasing the brake. This will unleash a surge of force and propel the car from zero to 60 mph (96.5 km/hr) in 4.1 seconds.
Chanel’s new serum and mask
If your skincare routine feels a tad incomplete, Chanel has a couple of solutions for you. Combat wrinkles with Sublimage Le Sérum, an exclusive formula enriched with powerful active ingredients (vanilla planifolia and solidago extract, for instance) selected for their complementary effects on the skin’s support fibres. It’s best applied before Sublimage La Crème and complemented with the Sublimage Le Masque, a regenerating mask that should be applied twice a week. Enriched with polyfractioned vanilla planifolia, it is rounded out with biomimetic lipids to protect and strengthen the skin barrier, leaving it more radiant than ever.
