T Singapore: The New York Times Style Magazine - April 2020

In this issue

In our Unconventional issue, we look at the philanthropists, artists, designers and perfumers who are doing things differently. Cover subject Christy Turlington Burns has pivoted from a modelling career to one as an activist advocating for maternal health awareness. Meanwhile, designer John Alexander Skelton is changing the way we look at menswear by focussing on craftsmanship and mining vintage fabrics for his inspired collections. Elsewhere, we explore the changing perfumery scene in Singapore and beyond and how there is now a focus on more unique and bespoke experiences.
