As far as festival clout goes, the Colorado desert goes unrivalled. The time of the year comes riddled with a few things, including the bucket list-worthy blowout that is Coachella, spanning over two weekends every year. This year’s run has been one to witness, with the first day having been closed out by the returning queen and headliner Lady Gaga—who certainly brought mayhem to the desert. For her epic stage, she pulled out all the stops, from theatrical set designs to exquisite fashion choices.

What if the quality of your sleep and performance at work could be enhanced by time in a hyperbaric oxygen pod? Or if stress management now means exposing your body to sub-zero temperatures to improve vagal tone? Gone are the days when wellbeing was merely about a 60-minute massage and a cup of hot ginger tea before being booted back out to the real world.

The perfect summer—one might believe it exists. For some, it’s a sun-washed paradise, or the promise of pristine sand. For others? The answer is an escape to twinkling blue waters, disconnected from reality, floating away in oblivion atop the most luxurious of sea travel: a well-appointed yacht.

When she’s on stage, Bibi seems right at home. It’s where she’s her most cheeky, flirtatious and teasing self—having worked through all the big-name festivals, from Coachella to Rolling Loud and Head In The Clouds. Her sizable discography lets her flit through the multi-faceted characters she’s created for herself; from the honey-sweet angel behind the floaty ‘Bam Yang Gang’ to the venomous fire waiting to unleash itself every time she performs the rage-filled shocker ‘Bibi Vengeance’.

An enduring piece of heritage. A marker of respect. A final flourish—to an otherwise incomplete outfit. Such is the kain samping, a traditional cloth which is typically worn over a man’s baju kurung or baju melayu in Malay culture; a skirt-like adornment over the trousers. The outfit formula might be a familiar sight—and one that we’ll certainly see plenty of soon enough—as it is often worn during the Eid or Hari Raya festivities.

If you could own any work of art in the world, what would it be and why? This has been a question art trading platform My Art Broker has been posing to the general public on their social media account—and they’ve been running into all sorts of individuals with all sorts of answers. Perhaps it’s an art enthusiast emerging from the Tate Modern in London. Or a pastry shop’s part-time hands catching a break in the alley. Or an unassuming father-daughter pair.

There’s a time and place for everything. Take the recently-folded awards circuit, for example. Where classic, old Hollywood glamour and vintage curls could hardly feel out of place. Likewise, the fashion week season saw a vivacious outing of avant-garde beauty moments on the runway; running the gamut from operatic blush washes and acrylic lashes to graphic liners and lacquered lips. And soon enough? Heatproof make-up, glowing skin and mussed-up tresses will be par for the course.

Often, when a stylish city is to be named, this particular land of the East comes up in spades. Such is the appeal of Japan, where some of fashion’s greatest designers have emerged from over the decades. There’s Rei Kawakubo of Comme des Garçons, as well as namesake designers Yohji Yamamoto and the late Issey Miyake. In recent years, one might think of the woman behind Sacai, Chitose Abe.
