January - February 2025

Art has long been in Dior's DNA (fun fact: in 1928-way before becoming a couturier - Christian Dior opened and ran his own gallery that specialised in avant-garde artists of the time). The annual Dior Lady Art project has helped to keep this torch going since its launch in 2016, with renowned international artists invited to put their spin on the maison's most famous bag, the Lady Dior. The latest edition that hit boutiques here recently features collaborations with 11 names. Among them is superstar Canadian painter Anna Weyant, whose Dutch masters-inspired and moody yet humorous portraits of pretty young women were discovered on Instagram in 2019, then sold out in her very first show. Since then, they've fetched as much as more than US$1 million (about S$1.36 million) at auctions and, in 2022, she became the youngest artist to be signed by the Gagosian. Here, a succinct interview with the 29-year-old on herself and what she has designed for Dior.

AND SWEET DREAMS ARE MADE OF THIS

If you've seen Valentino’s cinematic, Glen Luchford-lensed Fall 2025 campaign — with its cast of quirky young individuals captured in front of an ice cream parlour going about their everyday - then you already know the vibe. To usher in the collection last month, the Roman fashion house recreated that same good energy right here in Singapore, taking over the newly opened cult gelateria Messina on Club Street for a lively two-day affair. In collaboration with the brand, Female invited over 60 of our friends on day two for some delectable cold scoops, plenty of warm chatter, and a little taste of la dolce vita.

BOOK SMARTS

Till Sept 22 this year, artist Wolfgang Tillmans — one of the most thought-provoking and influential documentors of youth culture since the 1990s — stages an epic exhibition at the Bibliotheque Publique d’Information, or BPI, in the Centre Pompidou in Paris before the arts centre shuts for a major five-year renovation. Titled Nothing Could Have Prepared Us — Everything Could Have Prepared Us, it covers his entire oeuvre, integrating video, music, sound and personal objects with his prints, and is displayed in response to the architectural surroundings, resulting in a whole new way of exhibiting photography.

Why SO ALL Cute?

CALL IT ADORABLE ANARCHY OR SOFT-POWER SUBVERSION, BUT THE EMBRACE OF CUTE CULTURE TODAY, ESPECIALLY AMONG GEN ZERS, IS WELL WORTH LOOKING AT BEYOND JUST ITS AESTHETICS. SURE, ON THE SURFACE, IT'S ALL PLUSHIES, PASTEL PALETTES AND STICKER OVERLOAD. DIG A LITTLE DEEPER THOUGH AND YOU'LL SEE SOMETHING A LOT MORE POWERFUL HAPPENING.
