Cartier’s latest fall/winter 2019 eyewear collection has sophisticated and contemporary designs. Inspired by the brand’s signature watches, the collection comprises Santos de Cartier, Panthère de Cartier and Première de Cartier.
The Santos de Cartier range offers bold full-rim frames enhanced with screws that represent the airplane rivets of the iconic Santos watch, while the Panthère de Cartier selection is embellished with sculptural panther heads with hand-lacquered details such as onyx used as panther spots. The Première de Cartier collection reveals autumn shades and combines the Godron motif with the emblematic C de Cartier detail that marks each piece.
CINEMATIC MAGIC
Bvlgari unveils Cinemagia, its new high jewellery collection. A celebration of the Italian maison’s relationship with the silver screen, Cinemagia highlights the same creativity and visionary expertise at the heart of the finest films. Daring colour combinations, materials, gemstone cuts and artistry come together in the collection’s masterpieces. The Action! necklace introduces zirconium — a new metal in high jewellery design with a striking black/silver sheen. The Emerald City necklace is inspired by The Wizard of Oz and features a show-stopping 21.49-carat emerald. With technical ingenuity driving a new, daring level of artistry in Cinemagia, each necklace demands more than 500 hours of work.
PERFUME FOR YOUR HAIR
How do you remove the smoky smell in your hair after enjoying a barbecue or hot-pot meal? Just spritz some Floraïku Hair Perfume onto dry hair to get rid of the smell.

GET SPINNING
The boombox of the 1980s is back with a touch of luxe by Hermès. It is made of calfskin with a carrying handle fashioned using a saddle nail. Dust off those old records and get them on the turntable for an evening of retro fun.
GET YOUR FILA FIX
Italian sportswear brand FILA has opened its largest store in Singapore at retail and entertainment mall Jewel Changi Airport. At 2,730 sq ft, the huge space not only means more room to shop but also a wider range of products. Feast your eyes on FILA White Line, FILA Originale, FILA x 3.1 Phillip Lim and FILA Red Line, as well as FILA’s streetwear sub-brand FILA Fusion.
SNEAKER CHIC
The sneaker trend is now so big that the comfortable casual shoes seem to be accepted anywhere you go. Longchamp has come up with its own take on it and designed wedge-shaped outsole shoes with a no-tie elastic lace. The Longchamp logo — that of a galloping racehorse — is placed on the sole of the shoe.
