Prestige Singapore - April 2023

この問題で

This issue, we dive into anything and everything related to taste-making, be it in the realms of gastronomy, art, fashion, watches and jewellery, travel or your life at home. Our cover personality and second-gen tastemaker, Carolina Kumala, talks about the thrills and spills of self-discovery and new challenges. Also featured are other personalities who have shaped and re-defined our appreciation for the finer things. They include artists Yayoi Kusama and Daniel Arsham; William Drew from 50 Best; sommelier Stéphanie Rigourd; and Peranakan Museum’s Kennie Ting. Our fashion spread delves into the darker and more sensual side of Spring/ Summer 23, while our bag report highlights the most covetable must-haves. Check out our picks of the most innovative tourbillons, in addition to our various showcases on the absolute best in high jewellery. Even as we savour the most exquisite in life, the environment is not far from our minds, especially as we observe Earth Day this month. We chart the achievements of Rolex Perpetual Planet Initiative partner Steve Boyes, and also pick the brain of Guillaume Barraud, a new-guard winemaking expert who is championing the fight against climate change.
