September stands at the threshold of the transition in seasons, and is one of the most exciting months in the calendar. On this occasion of Prestige’s 23rd anniversary, we present the Change edition to spotlight the boldness and brilliance of those who dare to defy conventions, enter uncharted territory and embrace newness. We embark on a fresh slate with Cartier on a journey to Tuscany, in our cover spread showcasing the maison’s Le Voyage Recommencé High Jewellery collection. Along with sponsor Bell & Ross, we also unveil our highly anticipated, annual 40 Under 40 list of young achievers who are making waves across the many facets of Singapore. In addition, we honour society friends, new and old, in an intimate potraiture where they share their views on how they’d like to effect change in themselves. This important fashion month, we break Autumn/Winter 23 womenswear down into the most worthy statement elements, and envelope you in the romance of a nostalgic past. Meanwhile, in the high watches and jewels sphere, we unveil the most boundary-pushing retrograde complications, exciting interpretations of groundbreaking watches, and the sustainable wave sweeping through the jewellery-making industry. From the way we eat, drink, travel and decorate, more transformation is afoot. And we jump into insightful discussions with various individuals who have successfully made the right moves in changing how we indulge in life’s pleasures. Hearteningly, most of their efforts involve improving our lives while being more thoughtful and appreciative towards the world around us.

This issue, we honour 30 inspiring individuals in Women of Power 2023. Hailing from various walks of life, the ladies featured in our signature campaign this year tell us about sustaining the impact of their work, and how we could chip in to carve a brighter future. And the one thing that underscores all 30 of them? Brilliance. This Genius issue, we also feature some of the brightest movers and shakers in the luxury industry. There is our cover girl Zoen Tay, who has already launched a successful career as a medical industry professional, a beauty entrepreneur and a social media influencer. Marcus Lim, a former casino rainmaker who has just published a book on selling to “whales”, tells us how to win in life through sales strategies. And there are many, many more fascinating personalities across the magazine: Mr Richard Mille himself, who revived classic yacht sailing for the inaugural Richard Mille Cup; and the ninth-generation leaders of the Martell cognac-making family. On the creative front, there is multidisciplinary artist Wanbing Huang; the South Korean makeup maven Jung Saem Mool; the gouache master artisans of France, and a slew of talented artists at the Rolex Arts Festival. Even the places and products showcased are of such awe-inspiring pedigree. Take the horological wonders in our Only Watch 2023 spread, for example. Or Cartier’s new high jewellery collection, Le Voyage Recommencé, which was launched in Florence this late spring. We also journey to Taiwan’s Sun Moon Lake to take in its natural wonders and aboriginal culture.

There is never enough time, which incidentally waits for no one. This Fantasy edition, we challenge you to not just dream big, but act on it. The best role model is our cover personality, Nina Kaginda, who has an F&B pedigree that primed her for her grand entrance into the exciting world of beauty entrepreneurship. But it’s not just her we can learn from; seven society personalities, who are longtime champions of good causes ranging from social to environmental, tell us about what they fantasise about in their perfect world. Serial philanthropist Nizar Shariff, the founder of Free Food For All (FFFA); Ludovic du Plessis of Telmont Champagne; the extremely low-key but highly driven fashion designer Tory Burch; and acclaimed interior designer and lifestyle tastemaker Ken Yuktasevi of Parable Studio are also inspiring us with their brave, unconventional outlook. Whether it’s a new passion or purpose, we hope nothing’s going to stop you now. 

This Speed edition, we highlight all that moves us and gets us going, or not. One individual who epitomises both is our cover personality Kim Lim, who demonstrates how she balances the expansion of her aesthetics and beauty empire with finding stillness in her me-time. To keep your life meaningful, just hear it from the other equally inspiring ladies featured this issue. Four women from a tight-knit supercar circle talk to us about their favourite rides, while a medical professor in longevity and biogerontology reveals the secret to turning back the clock. The first Singaporean fellow of the Cartier Women’s Initiative, Mint Lim, also reminds us why haste is important if you really want to change the world. Our Boutique and Atelier sections are where you take a long breather and marvel at the time-consuming crafts that truly define fashion as well as watch- and jewellery-making of the highest order. There are many other ways to smell the roses. Indulge in an unhurried sip of the newest spirits to hit town, and journey with us to the most idyllic destinations near and far. We also found out that more residents here are enjoying the art of going fast to take it slow – through recreational luxury yachting, the latest trends of which are compiled in a report featuring the views of experts who recently came ashore to participate in a boating show. One thing the pandemic has taught us well, is to never take time for granted. If revenge travel is on the cards, we propose a gourmet expedition to Hong Kong. If it’s more power lunch options you seek, we have them. If it’s that new super or sportscar you’ve always dreamt of, our coverage of the most covetable drives should get you rushing to be put on the waiting list. If it’s time to refresh your home, there is our annual Luxe Living supplement you could get plenty of ideas from. 

Crafting legacies is our focus this issue. In our intimate profile interview with Charmain Kwee of automotive dealership Eurokars Group, she reveals the personal reasons she set out on her legal career, why she decided to step into the shoes of her father, Karsono Kwee, and how she intends to do him proud. We also spotlight two princesses, Her Royal Highness Princess Sirivannavari Nariratana Rajakanya of Thailand and Her Royal Highness Princess Nourah Al Faisal of Saudi Arabia, who are doing their utmost in upholding their cultural traditions of craft and design. Another creative we’ve featured is Madagascan contemporary artist Joël Andrianomearisoa, who has just collaborated with a slew of artisans from Morocco to put on a show in Marrakech, paying homage to the land’s ancient crafts. Singapore may not boast of any blue-blood, but we do have fashion royalty in Paris-based couturier Andrew Gn, who was back home recently to prepare for his major retrospective exhibition kicking off end of this month at the Asian Civilisations Museum. Besides Gn, we also shine a light on the champions of Singapore coffee and our unique coffee culture. Should you need ideas on celebrating Mother’s Day, we have plenty in store – all centred around exquisite craftsmanship that meets a mum’s high standards. Indulge in a cocktail brunch; pick out a sensational, sustainable fragrance; go shopping for earrings that are the epitome of precision diamond setting; and in our following pages, discover the reinvention of classics like Tiffany & Co.’s Bird on a Rock, Vivienne Westwood’s punk aesthetic and the Rolls- Royce Phantom.  

This issue, we dive into anything and everything related to taste-making, be it in the realms of gastronomy, art, fashion, watches and jewellery, travel or your life at home. Our cover personality and second-gen tastemaker, Carolina Kumala, talks about the thrills and spills of self-discovery and new challenges. Also featured are other personalities who have shaped and re-defined our appreciation for the finer things. They include artists Yayoi Kusama and Daniel Arsham; William Drew from 50 Best; sommelier Stéphanie Rigourd; and Peranakan Museum’s Kennie Ting. Our fashion spread delves into the darker and more sensual side of Spring/ Summer 23, while our bag report highlights the most covetable must-haves. Check out our picks of the most innovative tourbillons, in addition to our various showcases on the absolute best in high jewellery. Even as we savour the most exquisite in life, the environment is not far from our minds, especially as we observe Earth Day this month. We chart the achievements of Rolex Perpetual Planet Initiative partner Steve Boyes, and also pick the brain of Guillaume Barraud, a new-guard winemaking expert who is championing the fight against climate change.  

This Art & Design edition features the stories behind the most fascinating creators, near and far. On the homefront, we present our cover girl, actress and host Oon Shu An, who has been steadfast in using her voice and work as a platform for the greater good. Generations before her, another larger-than-life personality had tirelessly advocated for hundreds of causes, from climate change to human rights: Vivienne Westwood. But there are more incredible creatives we’ve centred the spotlight on, from floral designer Harijanto Setiawan and ART SG co-founder Magnus Renfrew, to Scottish artist Chris Labrooy and a long list of the most promising young Asian artists. The arrival of fashion’s Spring/Summer 23 season also calls for a new wardrobe, so trust us to distil the very best-ofs in our trend report and fashion spread. In our watch and jewellery pages, we also showcase magenta, Pantone’s colour of the year; ’70s designs from Van Cleef & Arpels; Jaeger-LeCoultre’s mastery of artistic crafts; and Chanel’s latest high jewels honouring the vision of Mademoiselle Coco’s first and only such collection from 1932. The inclusion of women trailblazers this edition also extends to a highly exclusive group of brilliant female sportswomen and talents supported by Swiss watchmaker Richard Mille.  

This month, a host of dauntless personalities show us the way to breaching new frontiers. Trained in public policy, our cover personality Grace Chong-Tan takes us on her journey of transforming her dentist husband Rex Tan’s practice into an empire and jumping aboard the hospitality wagon as a hotelier in Hokkaido. This same chutzpah is demonstrated by visionaries across various luxury sectors – from Audi AG’s Hildegard Wortmann to Bulgari’s Fabrizio Buonamassa Stigliani to interior designer Jonathan Rachman. Other forward-looking brands are also reinventing the future, as you’d discover in our report on this year’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. On the fashion front, there is all manner of creative, most unexpected collaborations. Our fashion spread, meanwhile, highlights Spring 23 menswear trends that signal the return of the “bad boy” era of the ’80s and ’90s. The realm of watches and jewels is a mighty playground of innovation, so feast your eyes on high-tech rainbow-coloured watches, Bulgari’s Serpenti tubogas, and Van Cleef & Arpels’ secret watches inspired by romance. Indeed, the most passionate month is right upon us. We tell you which gemstones will inspire epic love, what gifts to buy, which cosy restaurants to sidle up at with your other half, what beauty treatments to indulge in for some self-care, and which resorts to book for couple-time disguised as child-friendly vacations.

This month, our cover personality Dr Claudine Pang gives us a huge of dose of inspiration on how to better ourselves. In the quest for holistic renewal not just for herself but her patients, the accomplished ophthalmologist has launched a new aesthetics clinic, and is currently planning a host of initiatives to empower women as part of her role leading not one, but two, women’s societies. Her enthusiasm for growth and transformation is indeed infectious, for we have also come up with countless ideas on renewing the mind, body and soul. We present the most rejuvenating retreats around the world, point you to a plethora of arts events in town, curate the best Cruise 23 looks, and take you to two wellness resorts in Thailand. As we also know that many of you have gone on that long-awaited city break or ski vacation, our travel feature on the most idyllic and convenient English country estate holidays should set you dreaming again. And don’t you worry about the short runway from Christmas and New Year, to Chinese New Year. Balance your yin and yang through precious jewels that align with the five elements in Chinese culture, or boost your prospects this Year of the Jade Rabbit with new “lucky” timepieces. In addition, take a look at our modern Chinese cuisine recommendations by two freshly minted chef honchos from our favourite restaurants, Cassia at Capella Singapore and Shang Palace at Shangri-La Singapore. We also showcase intriguing new spirits to sample as well as exotic rosé wines – sparkling included – from all over the globe that will spruce up your reunion feasts and possibly make their way into your Valentine’s Day menu. 

What a night it was at the Prestige Anew Ball 2022! To immerse yourself in the amazing ambience and happenings at our most important signature event of the year, head right over to the ball report section for an in-depth look. Together, our guests, sponsors, partners and vendors represent the spirit of this month’s theme: Giving. Let’s bear in mind what was said in the acceptance speeches by our ball award winners. Their resounding message: It’s better to give than to receive. Also, take it from our main interviewees this month: our cover personality, the gorgeous Thai heiress Chayuda “Nina” Jiaravanon, who had returned home to Bangkok after seven years in Singapore; philanthropist Dr Mary Ann Tsao, our ball’s Patron Award winner; AIA Singapore’s trailblazing CEO Wong Sze Keed; and Cortina Watch’s big-hearted CEO Jeremy Lim.

With local and international events featuring the best and the brightest returning in full force, how wonderful that this month’s edition is themed The Edge Issue, for there is never a better time than now to spotlight those pushing the envelope. One of them is Susanna Kang, our cover personality and the Tastemaker Award winner of our upcoming Prestige Ball 2022. Unveiling Susanna as one of our four award winners is a fun little teaser to the Anew Ball, which celebrates our 22nd anniversary, but there’s more. Together with 12 fabulous friends of Prestige, we count down to the highly anticipated gala by marking their key personal milestones through the decades. The convivial mood extends to our report on the Academy Museum Gala’s first anniversary, where the toast of La La Land showed up in full force to celebrate cinema and its most influential figures. As can be seen across the following pages, so many players in the luxury sphere are also taking the lead in upturning conventions and transforming mindsets – from eminent couturiers who are redefining high fashion, to the most prominent watchmakers adopting green as a main colour, to jewellers outdoing themselves in the quest for even more beauty and creativity. In our Cruise and Yacht Special, a slew of new yachts demonstrates what it means to sail into a new future.  

This Bold edition, we bring to you a slew of fresh faces who are taking on life with gusto and fearlessness. Take our cover personality David Z Wang for example. The fintech entrepreneur has found such success with his vision of sustainable finance that within four short years, his firm Helicap has already disbursed over $200 million to help the unbanked and underbanked in the region. Surely, it is also this new generation of power brokers with a heart who are inspiring the younger ones out there. Check out our profiles on four bright, young adults who hail from familiar society families on their purpose and dreams. In the spirit of youth and freedom, we also present a stunning fashion spread highlighting the edgy and enigmatic looks from Autumn/Winter 22. Also, our features on the latest iconic bags to hit the stores should get you set for the year-end festive season. Watch and jewellery collectors will have much to gush over in one of our biggest line-ups of stories ever. We tackle the question of what defines 21st century jewellery art, and dive into the rarefied world of métiers d’art timepieces.

Welcome to the revamped Prestige! On this occasion of our 22nd anniversary, we have taken that big step into the future by updating our aesthetics and format to bring you a more exciting, relevant and inspiring reading experience. Evolution, the theme of this edition, sums it up perfectly. We bring to you an ultra-exclusive cover shoot, produced in Madrid, unveiling Spanish celebrity-model Marta Ortiz adorned with Cartier’s brand-new Beautés du Monde high jewels. Find out more about this exquisite collection and its star-studded launch in Spain in our jewellery report. In the spirit of fresh beginnings, we present our new Boulevard section at the front of the magazine, where we curate bite-sized news across various trending topics. Our relaunch is also about celebrating the people within our community, new and familiar. On that note, we debut this year’s 40 Under 40 list of young achievers who are breaking the mould in their own way. What’s more, we spotlight four next-gen tastemakers – social media personalities who have already taken the digital world by storm with their unique perspectives on the luxury lifestyle, including beauty and fashion. Speaking of style, a highlight this issue is a knock-out spread styled by our fashion director Johnny Khoo, who interprets this month’s theme into an incredible opus of not just otherworldly looks from the Autumn/Winter 22 women’s collections, but labels that are reinventing themselves and challenging conventions. Even as Prestige honours local people and places, we have the strength of a regional brand with an excellent crop of editors across Asia who share updates from their markets. One of our defining traits is that we always offer coverage of regional or even international trends with a local point of view. This edition is no different – just look at our dining feature that crystallises the major fads across Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Thailand; and our travel story that compiles all that you need to know about the future of travel, post-lockdown. As much as we love our new look and content, we hope you will as well.  

As Singapore celebrates its 57th birthday this month and wave goodbye to the challenging pandemic years, Prestige takes this opportunity to showcase what we love about our country. On the cover of this Pride of Singapore edition is the inimitable Kim Lim, who reveals a private side of her in a candid interview with us. We catch the hard-to-pin-down SSO first violinist William Tan, who is one of the leading wildlife lensmen in the world, especially in the field of underwater photography. And in-between rehearsals for The LKY Musical, leads Adrian Pang and Kit Chan chat with us on their take and thoughts on the most important couple in our country’s
history: Mr Lee Kuan Yew and Mdm Kwa Geok Choo. One thing good that came out of the pandemic is certainly the new crop of small and mostly artisanal businesses that have come to amass a cult following. From pastry experts to a rum distillery to a coffee-making machine start-up, we spotlight the diversity of lifestyle brands that reflect Singapore’s buzzing entrepreneurship scene. This red-hot passion is reflected in our high jewellery spread featuring the most extraordinary red gemstones, from rubies to rubellites to spinels. And it is also here that we’re pleased to present an Easter egg in honour of our nation’s 57th National Day – let us know if you’ve spotted it! Over the past months, while most of Asia remains locked down, Prestige has also been proud representatives of the little red dot at the most exclusive luxury launches around the world. Read our coverage of the Bulgari Eden: Garden of Wonders high jewellery showcase in Paris; our quick jaunt to Bangkok to see Louis Vuitton’s new watch novelties; and the incredible experience we had travelling to Maranello, the home of Ferrari in the northern Italian province of Modena, to witness the unveiling of the thinnest watch in the world by Richard Mille and the marque: the RM UP-01.


Everybody seems to be travelling and having a blast this summer. This edition, our focus on thrills and spills takes us across a host of exciting range of topics. We dive into the little black books of three sophisticates-about-town to unveil some best-kept secrets from Singapore. This sultry season in Singapore is usually not associated with dressy soirées or galas. But not this time. In the spirit of summertime glamour, we partner with Cartier to present supple, sleek and captivating high jewellery that complement that sexy number. These jewels, as seen on our cover and cover spread, wear like second skin with just about anything you might slip on. We also flew to Bangkok to catch the Louis Vuitton Men’s Fall/Winter 2022 spin- off show, which is a tribute to the late Virgil Abloh; and toured the Louvre in Paris to bring you the new antiquity-inspired Métiers d’Art collection of watches from Vacheron Constantin. It has also been several years since the luxury fashion industry adopted gaming as an important part of its marketing and engagement efforts – a trend we shed more light on in an insightful report. Meanwhile, our watch and jewellery pages showcase vibrantly hued gemstones, masterful designs, chiming timepieces and even new celebrity ambassadors. More action awaits in the lifestyle section, where we discover new BMW models in Bavaria, Germany and introduce you to the new luxury beach resort of Regent Phu Quoc in Vietnam. Counting wine as one of our passions, we also feature five impressive female winemakers or winery owners from around the globe. While we’re on the topic of women, I’m absolutely delighted to present our inaugural Women of Power project. In the appended booklet are profiles of 30 leading ladies in our midst whom we spotlight for making a real difference to our community and even the world at large. There is no doubt you’d feel inspired and invigorated after learning about their unique journeys and perspectives – as we did.

In this post-pandemic world, the leaders we look up to serve a purpose much larger than themselves and their companies. To these individuals, it is no longer simply about chasing pure profits, but chasing the dream of making the world a better place. And who better to learn valuable lessons from other than our cover personality Jaelle Ang of The Great Room? During an intimate interview with the high-flyer, the mother of four sheds light on what it took to achieve the success she worked so hard to achieve today. With sustainability being one of the hottest buzzwords in the world now, we also profile four young leaders across various consumer luxury sectors who are knee-deep in driving change. Meet Lars Nielsen of BMW Group Asia, Renyung Ho of Banyan Tree Group, Cheng Hsing Yao of GuocoLand, and Ruth Yeoh of YTL Group. The green leadership theme continues into the rest of the magazine, where we chart the kind of transformation various communities are pushing for – from the
most eminent brands in the watch and jewellery world, the reformists in the art world, to the hospitality folks at Conrad Maldives Rangali Island, to our favourite F&B outlets in town. The innovators of the digital fashion world spill the beans on what they really do and their quest to elevate their creations. We journey to Hamburg, Germany, to visit the new Montblanc Haus. CEO of Raffles & Orient Express Stephen Alden details ambitious plans for his brands. And Range Rover
shows us why it is still the gold standard for luxury SUVs, having pioneered the concept in 1970.


In celebration of Mother’s Day, we present three wonderful ladies who have navigated the challenges of motherhood with grace, stoicism and courage. Our cover personality is none other than classy society stalwart Fanty Soenardy. In an intimate interview with the mother-of-two, we find out more about her parenting philosophy and how, after raising two young adults, she’s dedicating more time to herself in this next phase of her life. Not forgetting the indomitable warrior mums in our midst, we also profile two careerwomen – Harpreet Bedi and Nana Au-Chua – who have not just devoted their time to running their companies and raising their brood, but to causes far greater than themselves. These mums showed us that the power of togetherness makes an impact far greater than anyone could imagine – even in the realm of fashion. Learn more in our insightful feature on the trend of bold brand partnerships and the sparks they ignite. Perhaps as a tribute to the style icons of today who were once the iconoclasts of their time, Gen Z has taken the lead in bringing back the experimental vibe of the ’90s and noughties. The topic of legacy continues in the second half of the magazine. From the lesser-known historic symbols of the world’s most well-known jewellers and the latest innovations in fine watchmaking, to the new all-electric luxury sedan Mercedes-Benz EQS and a tribute to Antoni Gaudí, we have it all. We also showcase four talented chefs in town who unveil their family’s own culinary heritage through their childhood stories and recipes passed down through the generations. If dining, shopping and cooking with mummy dearest aren’t enough, we have an even more marvellous idea for you: Indulge her with a luxury wellness holiday of her choice (of an ancient healing modality); we have plenty of suggestions on the best destinations.

As Singapore cheers the lifting of some Covid-19 restrictions and commits to a return to normalcy, let us turn our attention to celebrating the finer things in life. Kicking off this new phrase with a bang is the perfectly timed Louis Vuitton 200 Trunks, 200 Visionaries: The Exhibition this month. In addition to discovering the show’s sensational trunk designs by 200 global creatives, here on our cover is Amber Lee, who for the first time ever, unveils an amazing trunk collection in her home and aboard her luxury yacht. We also present the latest couture fashion, Spring/Summer 2022 bags and accessories, stunning transformable jewels and moonphase watches, new timepieces from LVMH Watch Week, and an interview with Van Cleef & Arpels’ director of patrimony and exhibitions Lise Macdonald. Our Lifestyle section offers a mini masterclass on uni or sea urchin, an interview with Saskia Robinson who sculpted the hands that cradle The Macallan’s The Reach whisky, an intimate chat with wine critic James Suckling on his brave new life and career direction, and a showcase on master painter and architect of the Italian High Renaissance, Raphael. Hope you will be as inspired by the topics and personalities as we are. On the subject of inspiration, we want to know more about the people who have made an impression on you – a woman leader who has changed lives and shaped the world around her, or a young achiever with incredible spunk and talent. Write to us at prestige.nominations@burda.com.sg to tell us more about them, and you could very well see them in our upcoming editions, including our annual 40 Under 40 campaign! 

This month, in celebration of International Women’s Day, Prestige shines the spotlight on the brave few in our midst who, even in the face of adversity, continue to make a difference. Our cover personality is Rebecca Eu, from the illustrious Eu Yan Sang family, who launched her own social enterprise to help local artisans and sex trafficking survivors in the Philippines. Another two outstanding young women also tell us how, in spite of their busy professional careers, they devote themselves to causes greater than their personal lives. Both living a life less ordinary, Thenuga Vijakumar rescues street cats while CrossFit athlete Penny Koo uplifts women in the social and professional spheres. On the lighter and beautiful side of life, we present the key power-dressing trends from the Spring/Summer 2022 womenswear collections, the latest GMT watches for world travellers, stories of humanity and hope from the storied houses of Cartier and Tiffany & Co., and advancements in flower-based skincare science. More inspiring reads await you in our Lifestyle section, where we feature interviews with change-makers such as Art Basel Hong Kong’s Adeline Ooi, and marine conservationist and 2021 Rolex Awards Laureate Luiz Rocha. Looking towards the future, we have in-store a round-up of mind-boggling inventions from the 2022 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, a travel feature on Korean luxury, and a first look at the new Ferrari 296 GTB.  

Our cover personalities this Fun and Fabulous edition are popular society A-listers Adrian Ng and Loh May-Han who have a unique knack of always looking like they’re having a grand time. In our interview with the doctor couple, we find out a little more about their marriage dynamics, and why it’s important that they let loose away from their high-stress professional lives. Also, it’s also never too late to pick up a new active hobby or embrace the outdoors, as three busy individuals will tell you. Rock climbing, cycling, gardening – these activities have given them a new perspective on life. Style-wise, we are never without ideas to brighten up your mood. Our fashion spread on the Spring/Summer 2022 men’s looks and an accompanying trend report will inspire you to dress with sass in the months ahead. Enter our storybook world of jewels and discover different imaginative forms and expressions, or get awestruck by the multicoloured world of high watchmaking that fuses glamour with technical mastery. This season of international design fairs also heralds a new wave of artistic brilliance.

More indulgence and luxury living await, in our report on Gaggenau’s new kitchen innovation, a feature on the takeover of The Savoy Hotel’s Royal Suite by Gucci, an interview on the multi-vintage blended G series red wine with Penfolds’ chief winemaker Peter Gago, and our showcase of nine thrilling cars to covet this year.  

This issue, we celebrate all that is invigorating and exciting. Leading by example is June Goh-Rin, who infects us with her zest for life. Despite a health scare and plenty of challenges at work as a frontliner, the good doctor shows us the transformative powers of belief, positivity and kindness. Private jeweller Vihari Poddar also inspires us with her conviction in launching her first-ever boutique at Paragon. For those of you who have been obsessing over remodelling your kitchen or sharpening your culinary chops, we have great news: Four society ladies well known for being great cooks and hosts share their signature Chinese New Year recipes. We shot them at the stylish Gaggenau showroom, which should offer you plenty of ideas for a luxury kitchen revamp. Meanwhile, our style department delivers the brave and bold. The black-and-white combination makes a comeback in fashion during a season when colours worn by the Chinese are expected to be auspicious. If bright hues are preferred, how about Vivienne Tam’s new and colourful gender-fluid collection? New watches and bling aside, including several timepieces decorated with stunning Year of the Tiger motifs, we point you to fresh ways to wear jewellery. We also present a Singapore-exclusive interview with Anne-Lise Cremona of French perfumerie Henry Jacques, who tells us all about the Clic-Clac, a game-changing solid perfume accessory. And if you haven’t jumped aboard the vacation bandwagon, our features will take you to these following destinations: Dubai, Scotland, Munich and Berlin. We also showcase four restaurants that have updated the traditional method of wood-fire cooking with sophisticated techniques. Happy New Year!  

What got us feeling really warm and fuzzy this edition are stories of home and hearth from the various personalities featured this edition. Our cover girl Tiara Shaw, who models Bvlgari Magnifica High Jewellery creations as gorgeous as her, tells us about the serendipity of meeting her husband Mark Shaw, and the joy she feels from devoting her time to her young family and her newfound passion of horse-riding. Benoit-Louis Vuitton takes us on an intimate tour of his history-steeped family home and atelier in Asnières; Kristina Blahnik talks about her inspiring and famous uncle Manolo Blahnik, and how they joined forces to take on the pandemic; and Sonia Cheng of her family-owned hospitality empire Rosewood Hotel Group sheds light on creating a home away from home for her guests. More on this topic is our feature on the amazing homes of some of the greatest artists who ever lived. The formidable fashion duo of Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana have also launched their first-ever D&G Casa furniture collection showcasing the traditional crafts of their talented countrymen. Back in Singapore, Sonia Ong has transformed an enigmatic century-old shophouse into Baroque House, a multi-purpose event space and art gallery. This issue, we make sure you too are well equipped to honour your loved ones with a wonderful line-up of gift ideas. For the really special folks in your life, look no further than our watches and jewellery section for the most lavish creations. Flora and fauna essentially come to life in our Metiers d’Art timepiece spread, as well as our report on Van Cleef & Arpels’ charming Lucky Animals clip collection. For culture vultures who are thinking of their next holiday, we propose visiting a revitalised Hong Kong for her new West Kowloon Cultural District or the new Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles.

As part of our 21st birthday celebrations, we proudly present an edition that honours our vibrant heritage, dynamic populace and steadfast tenacity that will surely see us through this challenging period. Somebody whose personality and work represent all of the above is our cover personality, Andrew Li, who helms Zouk Group as CEO. You would already have seen news that the iconic Singaporean brand has expanded all the way to Las Vegas, but to know what it really takes, turn to our intimate interview with the man who has transformed Zouk into an international lifestyle force to be reckoned with. Joining him are 21 pioneering Singaporean companies, people and places that we pay tribute to in a special feature. On the fashion front, our Autumn/Winter 2021 haute couture showcase reports a triumphant return to physical shows, and our fashion spread simply oozes the nostalgic charm of the ’50s. Our jewellery and watch section is also replete with reads that highlight legacy, evergreen styles and ancestral craftsmanship that have remained resilient in this modern age. What of the exciting times ahead? You are the first to know here, in an Asia-exclusive for Prestige, what a commercial space flight of the future (in 2024, to be precise) will entail. We also bring you a test drive of the Bentley Bentayga Hybrid, and help you enter the brave new cryptosphere in a feature on how Asian musicians are taking on NFTs in their work. For those obsessed with home improvement, we have the ideal recommendation for a modern kitchen that is as incredibly innovative and functional as it is ultra-stylish – made for the perfectionist home chef with an equally impeccable home, all the way from Switzerland. Reach for our V-ZUG booklet to believe it. As the hectic festive season draws near, pop a glass of bubbly (but not before reading our informative story on Old World sparkling wines), chill out a little, and start making plans!
