Dressing Like a Sugar Dandy

1 day ago | esquiresg.com | Asri Jasman

When Pharrell Williams was named co-chair for this year’s Black dandy-themed edition of the Met Gala, it wasn’t surprising. The creative director of the Louis Vuitton men’s universe is every bit the modern dandy, with a distinct fashion sense that is neither square nor boring. Williams’ presence and personality are seen and felt through his attire, and it extends to his designs for the House.
Esquire 10: The "Make Time" Edit

1 week ago | esquiresg.com | Asri Jasman |Naysa Subba

These futuristic Visor sunglasses aren’t just eyewear, they’re a fashion statement. Crafted from ultra-light stainless steel and finished with a toric lens shield, they serve up panoramic vision and glare protection. Made for movers, risk-takers, and anyone who prefers their looks with a side of precision, they blur the line between function and fashion. Throw them on and step into the future, because average doesn’t cut it, style-wise.
2025 is the Dawn of New Fashion Eras

1 week ago | esquiresg.com | Asri Jasman

Ten years ago, the beginnings of what is now known as “fashion designer musical chairs” gained prominence. Creative changes have occured every now and then in fashion, but in 2015 we saw a number of fashion designers moving from one fashion house to another at a rate that was unprecedented. There was Alessandro Michele ascending the Gucci throne, Demna replacing Alexander Wang at Balenciaga, Raf Simons leaving Dior, and the late Alber Elbaz exiting Lanvin, just to name a few.
RIMOWA and Vitra Craft an Aluminium Creation You Can Actually Sit On

1 week ago | esquiresg.com | Asri Jasman

RIMOWA knows that while waiting for that Uber/Gojek/Grab to pick you up from the airport, or while waiting in the seemingly endless immigration line, you're sitting on your RIMOWA suitcase. Whether it's the polycarbonate or the heftier aluminium version, it doubles up as a nifty mobile seat. We've done it often too. (Based on personal experience, the Trunk Plus is possibly the best to sit on).
The LVERS Copper Edition is a Top-Shelf Beauty

2 weeks ago | esquiresg.com | Asri Jasman

When Pharrell Williams conceived his first perfume for Louis Vuitton with master perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud, the idea was to capture light—scent and visual—in a bottle. The resulting LVERS eau de parfum reflects the intensity of sunlight with notes of galbanum, cedarwood, sandalwood, bergamot and ginger. The first whiff strikes strong with bergamot and galbanum, mixed in with a refreshing body of ginger, and then settles into the formulation's woodier aspects.
A Prick and a Prod: Getting Facial Procedures in Seoul

2 weeks ago | esquiresg.com | Asri Jasman

On a wintry night last December, I sat at a tiny cocktail bar in Seoul with two Singaporean friends. One has been living in the South Korean capital for close to a decade, and the other, like me, was there for holidays. Our gathering was spontaneous and our conversation swivelled from personal anecdotes to creative projects and pursuits. By then, we were almost through our second drink, not counting the ones we had at dinner and the odeng spot after, as is the done thing there.
Jonathan Anderson is Now the Sole Creative Director of Dior

2 weeks ago | esquiresg.com | Asri Jasman

Fashion's worst-kept secret this year has been officially outed: Jonathan Anderson has been confirmed to be the creative director of Dior, spanning womenswear, menswear and haute couture. Anderson was already announced by the House of his appointment as creative director of Dior Men weeks ago. At the same time, it was already widely speculated that Maria Grazia Chiuri would bow out after the Dior Cruise 2026 collection in Rome last week—one that turned out to be true.
The Coach Bar Opens at Coach Play Shophouse

It's been two years since the Coach Play Shophouse opened its unique concept along the shophouse-laden Keong Saik Road. What once was a three-floored fusion of retail and experience with a Coach Café on the ground floor, has now transformed into a potential nighttime hotspot. The Coach Café has now been reimagined into an all-new Coach Bar. Think of the Coach Bar as a new Coach-branded speakeasy.
Bottega Veneta Celebrates 50 Years of the Intrecciato

2 weeks ago | esquiresg.com | Asri Jasman

The Intrecciato had been a quiet luxury device long before "quiet luxury" was even a thing. When one thinks of Bottega Veneta, the House's signature weaving precedes everything else—even the brand's own logo. The Intrecciato (pronounced in-treh-chah-toh) has become such a synonymous part of the House that it's almost unthinkable that it only came to be almost a decade after the founding of Bottega Veneta.
Made in China

"Some say, as long as there's a tag saying 'Made in China', the bag can never be luxury," says Wang Sen in a TikTok video posted under the SenBags moniker, a handbag manufacture in China. "In fact, more than 80 per cent of the luxury bags in the world are made in China. But those luxury brands just won't acknowledge that."No matter what you make of the video—shot in what looks to be the company's retail space—the claim is certainly a bold one to make.
