Description
This Art & Design edition features the stories behind the most fascinating creators, near and far. On the homefront, we present our cover girl, actress and host Oon Shu An, who has been steadfast in using her voice and work as a platform for the greater good. Generations before her, another larger-than-life personality had tirelessly advocated for hundreds of causes, from climate change to human rights: Vivienne Westwood. But there are more incredible creatives we’ve centred the spotlight on, from floral designer Harijanto Setiawan and ART SG co-founder Magnus Renfrew, to Scottish artist Chris Labrooy and a long list of the most promising young Asian artists. The arrival of fashion’s Spring/Summer 23 season also calls for a new wardrobe, so trust us to distil the very best-ofs in our trend report and fashion spread. In our watch and jewellery pages, we also showcase magenta, Pantone’s colour of the year; ’70s designs from Van Cleef & Arpels; Jaeger-LeCoultre’s mastery of artistic crafts; and Chanel’s latest high jewels honouring the vision of Mademoiselle Coco’s first and only such collection from 1932. The inclusion of women trailblazers this edition also extends to a highly exclusive group of brilliant female sportswomen and talents supported by Swiss watchmaker Richard Mille.
