T Singapore: The New York Times Style Magazine - March 2021

In this issue

For our March women’s fashion issue, we look at the future of fashion following the upheavals of 2020. There is a sense of optimism, as well as a reassessment of the kind of clothing and accessories that we truly need moving forward. Our cover subject is the Chinese supermodel He Sui, who models the best of Spring/Summer ’21’s offerings as well as dazzling high jewellery.
In the fashion spread “Spring Awakening”, the photography duo of Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott showcase a fashion rebirth, highlighting bold silhouettes, glittering fabrics and flashes of skin. The discussion on fashion will not be complete without a look at brands that are really looking to change the way we consume and think of clothes and accessories. In our interview with the iconic designer Alber Elbaz we find out about his new label AZ Factory and how he is designing a new kind of luxury to fulfil the actual needs of its female clientele, instead of purely focussing on the whims and desires of his own creative spirit. For Japanese brand Sacai, change comes from working with artist Hank Willis Thomas at the intersection where art and fashion meet.
