Doomers, You've Been Warned. Keng Yang Shuen Finds Out From Four Female Activists Here - Aged Between 23 And 29, And Each Saving The Planet In Her Own Way How And Why All Is Not Yet Lost.

MARINE CONSERVATIONIST INEZ ALSAGOFF

THIS ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES-TRAINED 24-YEAR-OLD IS INVOLVED IN MULTIPLE PROJECTS THAT AIM TO PROTECT MARINE LIFE. AMONG THEM: THE OCEAN CLEAN-UP ORGANISATION SEVEN CLEAN SEAS, WHERE SHE WORKS AS A CAMPAIGN EXECUTIVE; THE INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT @LIMPEHLOANSHARK, WHICH DOCUMENTS THE BIODIVERSITY SHE AND OTHER FREELANCE GUIDES DISCOVER ON THE INTERTIDAL WALKS THEY CONDUCT (CUE THE RARE PINK SAND DOLLAR SEA URCHIN ON THIS PAGE); AND HER LATEST, YUKAN, AN ONLINE RESOURCE THAT ALSO CONDUCTS TOURS TO EDUCATE CONSUMERS ON THE SEAFOOD THEY CONSUME IN SINGAPORE THAT OPENED TWO MONTHS AGO.

DRIVE SUPPORT THROUGH COLLABORATIONS

“One of my personal favourite instances of this happened when it was announced in 2020 that Dover Forest would be zoned for residential use and cleared. My friends and I knew that the only way to draw attention to this issue was through gaining public support, so I connected with a few independent film‑makers and videographers, and we made a short video called A Silent Forest to talk about the importance of saving Dover Forest. Thanks to this video as well as other groups and content creators petitioning for the same cause, we were able to save half of the forest from being transformed into housing blocks. For me, it’s collaborations like this that make the biggest impact.”

FROM A BUZZY FASHION DESIGNER WHOSE GRADUATE COLLECTION BRIDGED TRADITION AND CONTEMPORARY IDENTITY TO AN EMERGING FILMMAKER WHOSE DEBUT FEATURE MADE IT TO CINEMAS DESPITE STACKED ODDS, EVERY ONE OF THEM PULLED OFF PROJECTS THAT MARKED MAJOR MILESTONES.

STORY OF THE DECADE

The French house of Dior was thinking long-term before the rest of fashion even caught up. Cue its Dior Lady Art series: an annual project that represents the bag it gets its name from, the Lady Dior, through the eyes of acclaimed artists from around the world. 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.

WARNING: CONTAINS GRAPHIC CONTENT

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.
