Prestige Singapore - August 2023

この問題で

This issue, we honour 30 inspiring individuals in Women of Power 2023. Hailing from various walks of life, the ladies featured in our signature campaign this year tell us about sustaining the impact of their work, and how we could chip in to carve a brighter future. And the one thing that underscores all 30 of them? Brilliance. This Genius issue, we also feature some of the brightest movers and shakers in the luxury industry. There is our cover girl Zoen Tay, who has already launched a successful career as a medical industry professional, a beauty entrepreneur and a social media influencer. Marcus Lim, a former casino rainmaker who has just published a book on selling to “whales”, tells us how to win in life through sales strategies. And there are many, many more fascinating personalities across the magazine: Mr Richard Mille himself, who revived classic yacht sailing for the inaugural Richard Mille Cup; and the ninth-generation leaders of the Martell cognac-making family. On the creative front, there is multidisciplinary artist Wanbing Huang; the South Korean makeup maven Jung Saem Mool; the gouache master artisans of France, and a slew of talented artists at the Rolex Arts Festival. Even the places and products showcased are of such awe-inspiring pedigree. Take the horological wonders in our Only Watch 2023 spread, for example. Or Cartier’s new high jewellery collection, Le Voyage Recommencé, which was launched in Florence this late spring. We also journey to Taiwan’s Sun Moon Lake to take in its natural wonders and aboriginal culture.

ODE TO THE OCEAN

Celebrating 130 years since it created the world's first cultured pearl, Mikimoto's latest high jewellery collection, Praise to the Sea, pays homage to the origin of its iconic pearls - the ocean. Comprising a variety of astounding necklaces, earrings, bracelets, rings and brooches, the creations highlight the Japanese jeweller's unrivalled craftsmanship and nacre treasures. On one of the collection's largest necklaces, worn by the model above, ocean currents are depicted by a rhythmic web of elegant Akoya cultured pearls, whose brilliance and iridescence are reminiscent of bubbles. Adding more movement to the statement piece is a school of colourful fish, set with precious gems. Another scene-stealer is a single earring with a magnificent teardrop-shaped tanzanite that evokes the organic form of colourful coral or sea anemone.
