Grazia Singapore - October 2025

I dette nummeret

As we were going to print for this issue, the thunderbolt struck: Giorgio Armani, the colossus of Italian fashion, has left us. Ninety-one years of a life lived in devotion to elegance—so pure, so exacting, that he rewrote the codes of modern dress. In his memory, Fashion Features Editor Pameyla Cambe revisits his penultimate Fall/Winter 2025 collection and reveals how he told stories through fashion until the very end.
How fitting, then, that in our Legacy issue we turn our gaze to a woman who embodies Armani’s maxim: “Elegance is not standing out, but being remembered.” Heart Evangelista, our luminous cover star, is remembered in every city she graces. In Paris, Heart offered herself wholly to the camera on our cover shoot. “There’s still so much I want to share, so many adventures I haven’t been on,” she confessed to Associate Editor Cheryl Lai-Lim.
This October, we debut our inaugural Jewellery Awards—a celebration of the pieces and maisons that defined a year of sparkle. From audacious debuts to exhibitions that stopped us in our tracks—consider this your insider’s guide to the jewels that matter. Elsewhere, Associate Editor Cheryl Lai-Lim and Fashion Editor Kelly Hsu unite in a tour de force shoot with ageless muse Ong Bee Yan. Digital Writer Danisha Liang explores the frontier of beauty—inside the laboratories of longevity now biohacking the body. And in an intimate salon of minds, my fellow editors and I sat down with Van Cleef & Arpels CEO Catherine Rénier, who spoke of heritage not as weight, but as wings.
In the wake of Armani’s passing, in the glow of Heart’s laughter, in the sparkle of a diamond cut true—we are reminded that legacy is not marble statues or fading laurels. Legacy is memory, generosity and glamour eternal.
