In this issue

This March, Prestige celebrates creativity in our Art and Design issue. Red Hong Yi graces the cover as she shares insights into her enigmatic works and her journey of personal growth. As a successful artist who has paved the way for emerging talent to explore new ways of expressing her art, her tale inspires. The dedication to the arts continues with a look at some of Asia’s top artists to watch, casting a spotlight on their much-deserved talent. As Art Basel Hong Kong returns at full scale, Prestige also explores how it will be bigger, bolder, and better than ever!

A DECADE OF RED

It’s been a little over 10 years since RED HONG YI decided to pivot her career from architecture to art. Having initially dribbled her way into viral fame through a video of her painting” with a basketball, the artist came to realise her true calling and now finds joy in turning mundane objects into extraordinary paintings all without a single stroke from a paintbrush.

We are especially enthralled with the dainty caged-style minaudieres, which come in the whimsical permutations of a heart or star, the latter a part of the brand’s universe of astrological symbols Mademoiselle Coco was always fascinated with. The creations offer day-to-night versatility and all the stylistic multi-baglayering opportunities you'll ever imagine.
