Bartenders of Pony
Recently opened at 76 Tras Street in Singapore’s unofficial Little Korea, is the Jigger & Pony Group‘s latest concept, Bartenders of Pony. Drawing on Uno Jang’s—the group’s co-owner and creative director—Korean heritage, the cocktail dining-bar is a reflection of personal experiences and a rooted yet evolving culture that resonates with the world. Defined neither as a bar with food or restaurant with cocktails, it’s a space built on serious craft and human connection, inviting guests to a third space that feels just like home.
Jacob & Co. x Joopiter x Human Made

Loewe’s Spring/Summer 2026
Soon to launch this 26 February 2026, Loewe’s new Spring/Summer campaign will mark the brand’s debut collection by creative directors Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez, since succeeding Jonathan Anderson. Described by them as “confident, playful, sun-drenched, optimistic,” the collection is a masterclass in texture and form, featuring heat-sealed leather jackets, fluid multi-layer dresses, and glossy aqua shoes with contrasting socks.
A Bottega Veneta icon is reborn
First introduced in the 1970s as the design of co-founder Renzo Zengiaro, the Veneta bag is back and updated by the newly appointed creative director, Louise Trotter. Meticulously woven by the hands of Bottega Veneta artisans, the bag features delicate Nappa leather strips and a soft padded interior lined with the same lightweight lambskin as the original. Available in four sizes, from a Baby Veneta edition to a shoulder bag, with a choice of 11 colourways.
Guerlain’s Orchidée Impériale Black – The New Art Edition
In its relentless search of art and beauty, Guerlain just revealed its ultimate age-defying face cream in new form. The Orchidée Impériale Black, enriched with the vital force of the legendary Black Orchid, will be available in a Bernardaud reinterpretation of Ora Ïto’s jar. In place of the black original will be a porcelain jar in pure white, a subtle echo of the paradox presented by the orchid itself—precious and seemingly delicate, yet extremely resistant. Yours for S$2,470 from 1 March 2026.
Belmond and Thebe Magugu open the doors to a new luxury suite
Marking Magugu’s first permanent foray into the world of luxury hospitality, the project—comprising the two-storey Thebe Magugu Suite and the adjoining Magugu House Cape Town—extends the fashion designer’s practice into the realm of spatial design, translating the research, narrative, and cultural inquiry that underpin his work into an artful cocoon for discerning travellers.
Now open for booking, the Magugu Suite—designed in collaboration with South African interior design firm StudioLandt—occupies a space along Mount Nelson’s Palm Avenue. Conceived as an Afro-modernist sanctuary, the suite is purposefully designed around a series of domestic rituals that include gathering, dining, retreat, and rest. More here.
