Play '90s Guitar With Beabadoobee
Female Singapore
|June 2021
She’s the Filipino-born British musician (real name: Beatrice Kristi) who – with only one self-written album and a whole lot of self-possessed cool – has helped to reintroduce the decade’s alternative sound and style into the mainstream. To think she was born only after it had ended, what with her turning 21 this month. You ready to rock?
THIS IS YOUR FIRST INTERVIEW WITH A SINGAPORE FASHION MAGAZINE. TELL US MORE ABOUT YOUR MUSIC.
“Original Music from the Philippines – or OPM – really helped to develop my sound. Its brand of storytelling is very honest (Kristi’s debut album Fake It Flowers, released last October, is notable for its highly personal tone that sees her opening up about everything from crushes and romance to self-harm and dyeing her hair as a form of empowerment). The guitar and piano used in this genre are also very catchy and memorable. Other influences include The Beatles, Elliott Smith, Veruca Salt, Sonic Youth and Pavement.”
WHY IS THE GUITAR SUCH A KEY ELEMENT TO YOUR SOUND?

STORY OF THE DECADE
The French house of Dior was thinking long-term before the rest of fashion even caught up.

This year marks its 10th edition — proof that the endurance of an icon doesn't lie in hype drops, but in cultural exchange and creative freedom. Keng Yang Shuen takes a closer look at this milestone collection.

Besides bringing in some of the best movies from around the globe (nearly every one is “Certified Fresh” on Rotten Tomatoes), homegrown independent film distributor Anticipate Pictures is known for its hyper-stylish, often-cheeky scroll-stopping artworks promoting said flicks — after all, the company was founded in 2016, when Instagram was starting to seriously blow up.

CINEMA PARADISO
The house of Chanel has been a committed champion of the film world since founder Gabrielle Chanel started dressing the actresses from the United Artists studio at the request of American producer Samuel Goldwyn in the 1930s. Besides styling stars on screen and off, the brand has been an active supporter of international movie festivals, institutions and directors (local auteur Eric Khoo was one of them); has helped to restore classics such as the enigmatic Last Year at Marienbad (1961); and often draws inspiration from cinema. For Cruise 2025/26, it pays homage to the glamour of the silver screen as well as Coco Chanel's decades-spanning friendship with legendary Italian filmmaker Luchino Visconti. Here's an exclusive closeup look at the collection and the many ways it's coded la dolce vita.
