The weeks ahead are studded with immersive experiences and fun events
Dom Pérignon × Takashi Murakami lands in Singapore with a four-day immersive pop-up at Maison Garden from Oct 30 to Nov 2, spotlighting Murakami’s smiling-flower limited editions for Dom Pérignon Vintage 2015 and Rosé Vintage 2010. Expect culinary cameos from members of the Dom Pérignon Society, such as Sebastien Lepinoy (Les Amis), David Pynt (Burnt Ends), Emmanuel Stroobant (Saint Pierre) and Jordan Keao (Butcher’s Block), with menus paired to the new releases. A dedicated retail space lets you bring the art home, from the Murakami editions to Vintage 2015 and Rosé 2009 gift boxes. (domperignon.com)
Skincare that keeps pace with Singapore’s heat: La Prairie’s Pure Gold Collection enters a new era with the Pure Gold Revitalising Essence, designed to soothe, densify and restore radiance, especially when skin feels dehydrated, fragile or dull from hot, humid days and strong indoor cooling. Powered by the Advanced Pure Gold Diffusion System (with the brand’s exclusive Cellular Complex), the essence is the first step of the ritual to help support barrier function, hydration and luminosity over time; pair it with the Pure Gold Radiance Cream for a day-to-night glow.

Sundays are now for lingering at Le Pristine Singapore (Grand Hyatt Singapore), which debuts a lively Sunday Brunch (12pm-3pm) and a convivial Sunday Supper (6pm-9pm), both priced at $135 per person. Chef-founder Sergio Herman’s Zeeland heritage threads the menus — look for Sergio’s Father’s Fish Soup — alongside a seafood bar (think Irish Mor oysters and gambero rosso), live stations (pizzette marinara, ravioli ricotta verbena) and a sweet bar with soft-serve and plated desserts. Add a 2½-hour free-flow package from $50, with options up to Dom Pérignon Brut for those celebratory Sundays. Reserve online. (lepristinesingapore.com)

Baccarat has recently unveiled a newly conceived concept store at ION Orchard, a 320 sq ft “keepsake jewel box” that reinterprets the maison’s French elegance with a modern, interactive twist. Guests are greeted by an eight-light Zenith chandelier that bathes the space in Baccarat’s signature vibrant red, while a central oval podium invites hands-on discovery across curated barware and homeware. Shelves to the left spotlight seasonal creations and a striking wall of tumblers, with playful drawers offering hidden variations, turning browsing into a refined treasure hunt. Mirrors, chandeliers and lacquered panels bounce light throughout, amplifying the brilliance of crystal and blending tradition with contemporary design. Visit the new ION Orchard boutique, or explore sister locations at The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands and Takashimaya.

Lost In Your Eyes is a photobook-poetry collection by Iman Taheri that traces the Iranian doctor-poet’s journey from long hospital nights to conflict-zone volunteering and toward healing through art. Shot across Hong Kong, Macau and Thailand by photographer Sam Wong, the book pairs contemplative portraits with poems written throughout Iman’s life. Personally overseen by singer, actress and producer Josie Ho, the project extends into a short behind-the-scenes film that premiered at the Hong Kong Book Fair and a forthcoming Journey of Spiritual Healing tour.
