Dior’s Grand Soir enters the world of creative complication
For the first time ever, Dior’s Grand Soir has entered the world of creative complication with a mechanical automaton. The Grand Soir Automate Etoile de Monsieur Dior, limited to 28 pieces, tells the story of the birth of the House of Dior; on the evening of 18 April 1946, the founder was walking through the streets of Paris when he found a star on the ground. What felt like a lucky charm became an iconic Dior fundamental, worked into a dial that showcases the different layers that create depth and magic. Thus, immersing us in a magical journey of spellbinding reliefs.

Linda Gallery opens a new space
Established as the gallery’s ongoing objective of building sculptural narratives in Singapore, Linda Gallery’s new Sculpture Gallery is here to redefine the way sculptural art is experienced. Located at Tanjong Pagar Art District, the gallery will focus on contemporary works within the cosy 372-sqm unit, giving viewers easy access to large-scale artworks. It will also open with the concept, Forms in Space: A Sculptural Perspective, featuring over 80 masterpieces by renowned sculptors, such as Cai Zhisong, Jiang Shuo and Ren Zhe.
Loro Piana lights it up
If you’re looking to refresh the home with new scents, give Loro Piana’s new scented candles a shot. Inspired by the Maison’s luxurious and rare fabrics, the three new candles transform this sensory experience into an olfactory journey, inebriating the senses with creative alchemy and craftsmanship. The Mystic Fleece candle, for example, emanates the rich and milky incense tones that reflect the sacred rites in obtaining the rare Vicuña fibre, while the Cashfur Cloud candle captures the smoky, earthy scent of rain hitting the ground.
