Prestige Singapore - November 2022

In this issue

With local and international events featuring the best and the brightest returning in full force, how wonderful that this month’s edition is themed The Edge Issue, for there is never a better time than now to spotlight those pushing the envelope. One of them is Susanna Kang, our cover personality and the Tastemaker Award winner of our upcoming Prestige Ball 2022. Unveiling Susanna as one of our four award winners is a fun little teaser to the Anew Ball, which celebrates our 22nd anniversary, but there’s more. Together with 12 fabulous friends of Prestige, we count down to the highly anticipated gala by marking their key personal milestones through the decades. The convivial mood extends to our report on the Academy Museum Gala’s first anniversary, where the toast of La La Land showed up in full force to celebrate cinema and its most influential figures. As can be seen across the following pages, so many players in the luxury sphere are also taking the lead in upturning conventions and transforming mindsets – from eminent couturiers who are redefining high fashion, to the most prominent watchmakers adopting green as a main colour, to jewellers outdoing themselves in the quest for even more beauty and creativity. In our Cruise and Yacht Special, a slew of new yachts demonstrates what it means to sail into a new future.

Lose Yourself In New-Age Healing Spa Treatments

If you've had enough of being caught up with revenge travellers and need a sensorial reboot, it's worth considering a trip to the spectacular Italian Dolomites. While traditionally a summer holiday haven for Europeans, the Unesco World Heritage Site offers a quieter, more meditative but still nature-focused respite during the colder season. Then there is Forestis, which was opened as a sanatorium in 1912 and now operates as a luxury hideaway. At 1,800m, the Small Luxury Hotels of the World property flaunts incredible views from the top of the world. After experiencing a breathtaking mountain hike, soothe your soul and body with new-age healing spa treatments that include sauna sessions with sound therapy.
