August Man SG - Issue 193

この問題で

In this issue, we embark on a sartorial journey weaving together the iconic threads of fashion’s greatest marques while being accessorised with watchmaking’s most storied brands, creating a tapestry of style that speaks to the connoisseur in us all. Dior’s haute couture history extends its sophistication onto its accessories and bags (p. 26), Braun Büffel’s more utilitarian roots are finding new growth in aesthetically crafted leather goods as the brand enters a new era (p. 38). It’s a simpatico perspective best described as accessorial grace.
Meanwhile, Hermès adroitly banked on classicism with contemporary appeal peppered with a soupçon of punk (p. 112) alongside the textured logo-mania of Fendi’s Chiodo backpack (p. 36). This subtle interplay of patterns and textures bridging the worlds of high fashion and artistry is a theme echoed in Bottega Veneta’s meticulous weaving of the past, present and future of Italian culture, heritage and art (p. 32). These brands, though distinct, remind us that fashion is a canvas for creativity, offering a playground for self-expression and individuality.
Furthermore, iconic fashion meets iconic timekeeping via Longines (p. 52), Bell & Ross (p. 54) and Cartier (p. 56) – suggesting that style is not just about appearance, but also an intricate dance between form and function.
Finally, what better representation for indulgence and elevated living than a week in the Maldives? A destination (p. 138) that reflects the seamless blend of colours and textures found in the world of high fashion. Its azure waters and pristine beaches offer a serene escape, and a euphoric sensation akin to slipping into a beautifully tailored ensemble like the Giorgo Armani (p. 98) fits that cover star Eddie Peng wears.
