MCM launches its first Ramadan capsule collection
In timely fashion, MCM just debuted its first Ramadan capsule collection. In collaboration with style influencer Hanan Houachmi, the collection presents a thoughtful offering for the season, bringing a contemporary approach to modest dressing. Think chic silhouettes, comfy lightweight fabrics that radiate luxury, and experiments with distinctive cuts and styles. The collection is available online and at select stores in Singapore.
Another spectacular collaboration
In the latest chapter of the Gentle Monster x Maison Margiela collaboration, one can look forward to 17 new designs, featuring temple-less touches, artisanal leather-wrapped frames and the iconic four white stitches. Through sunglasses, acetate spectacles and mask-like eyewear, the collection brings to mind the concept of futurism and evolving notions of how we dress and why—the memories, familiarities and instincts that inform the way we present ourselves.
The collection is now available at both Ion Orchard and Marina Bay Sands stores, till stocks last.
The Macallan Harmony Collection: Green Meadow
Continuing a limited annual release is the third edition of The Macallan Harmony Collection, a celebration of the lands of Scotland that “connect all those who have stood upon them for generations.” It features two expressions—The Macallan Harmony Collection Amber Meadow and the global travel exclusive, Green Meadow—and Together: A Collection for The Macallan by Stella and Mary McCartney, a limited-edition collection of 11 lifestyle pieces designed by the sisters and made by the finest artisans. Expect glassware, ceramic bowls, a brass tray and even a lambswool blanket featuring Mary McCartney’s photography of The Macallan Estate.
Sisley captures the light of the night
For skin in serious need of rejuvenation, the new Sisley Phyto-Blanc La Nuit is here to help, and what better time than to do so than at night? That’s when the skin can take a break and focus on regeneration. Rich in rainbow algae extract, Sisley’s patented Phyto-Blanc complex, and nourishing active ingredients like shea oil, the powerful night cream is good for three things: brightening the skin, reducing the appearance of dark spots by releasing the accumulated melanin, and making skin firmer and softer by the night. Yours for S$300 at Sisley counters islandwide and online.
