Louis Vuitton New Formal Means Business

1 week ago | esquiresg.com | Asri Jasman

The hallmark of Louis Vuitton’s New Formal collections is, as its name suggests, the Maison’s constantly updated proposals of formal dress. Under creative director Pharrell Williams, the pieces within the collection have been gradually shaped to be more in line with the main ready-to-wear offerings. Read: sleek, cross-cultural, and embellished with finery. With tailoring at its core, the New Formal collection is a showcase of Louis Vuitton’s skill in the highly technical arena.
The Road Continues with the Zegna Mocassin

1 week ago | esquiresg.com | Asri Jasman

If you could have just one word to describe Zegna as a luxury fashion brand, it’s ease. Ease in the way artistic director Alessandro Sartori conceptualises how the modern man’s wardrobe should be, and how that aesthetic translates into the Italian spirit. There is no overcomplicating design in Zegna’s oeuvre. Its billowy silhouettes, while roomy, are impeccably cut in a way that you’re not drowning in them.
A Summer High with Jack Draper

2 weeks ago | esquiresg.com | Asri Jasman

At 23 years old, Jack Draper is quickly making a name for himself in the tennis world. The London-born tennis player achieved his British number one ranking in 2021 and is currently ranked number six in the world, achieving his first major ATP 1000 win at the Indian Wells Open earlier this year. It's little wonder then that Burberry has embraced Draper as its latest brand ambassador.
Esquire 10: The "Breakout" Edit

2 weeks ago | esquiresg.com | Asri Jasman |Wayne Cheong

After smashing success with its smart watches, Samsung surges ahead in the wearable market with a smart ring. Coupled with advanced sensors and Samsung’s AI-powered health ecosystem, the Galaxy Ring makes sense as a wellness monitor: it’s unobtrusive, leaves your wrist free for that luxury watch to flex and still deliver cutting-edge health-tracking in an entirely new form. Maison Francis Kurkdjian’s Grand Soir isn’t a new fragrance by any means.
Fresh Cuts with Brunello Cucinelli

3 weeks ago | luxuo.com | Wilson Lim |Asri Jasman

Creative directors may come and go (the current slate of dismissals and movements within the industry could easily give one whiplash) but what should remain consistent are the heart and values of a brand. It is something that Brunello Cucinelli knows exceptionally well. Despite its relatively young age — it was founded only 47 years ago — Brunello Cucinelli has built quite a reputation for itself based on its signature stylings and colours.
TUMI 19 Degree Lite: The Sky's the Limit

3 weeks ago | esquiresg.com | Asri Jasman

The undulating curves that decorate every façade of a TUMI 19 Degree piece undoubtedly make the collection one of the brand’s signature icons. The design is distinct, easily distinguishable on the baggage belt and elevates what would typically be a utilitarian piece into an accessory. But looks aside, the 19 Degree is also known for its sturdy hardside make, protecting securely while maintaining its form and structure.
Creating a Cohesive Scent-Style Profile

Warm and intense, the latest expression of Terre d’Hermès amplifies the earthy and woody quality of the original with a slight sweet and spicy flavour, thanks to the addition of a middle coffee note. The base lava stone accord drives home the warmth of the fragrance but not in a manner that overpowers. Overall, the Terre d’Hermès Eau De Parfum Intense has a masculine quality but one that isn’t typical of woody masculine fragrances.
Dance, Dance with the Gucci cub3d

The way the Gucci cub3ed sneakers move in its clever Dance Me Out campaign, you’d think that the sneakers were made for dancing in mind. Gucci invited members of French dance company La Marche Bleue, Léo Walk, Hortense de Gromard, and Mamadou Bathily, to celebrate the power of dance—its ability to free the spirit and express emotion through the beauty of movement.

It’s Tough to Be It

1 month ago | esquiresg.com | Asri Jasman

It used to be that a luxury bag would be so coveted that it achieved It bag status, flaunted by those constantly at the pulse of what’s cool in fashion. For decades, the It bag was the undisputed heavyweight champion of luxury fashion. For women, they were cultural currencies—signifiers of taste, wealth and belonging. Women’s fashion has had a long-standing relationship with the idea of the must-have bag, an item that sat at the perfect intersection of exclusivity and aspiration.
