club 21

“Luxury retailer/distributor Club 21. It introduced some of the most fashion-forward labels like Simone Rocha, Commes des Garcons and Lanvin to Singapore (and continues to do so), and in turn made the local fashion scene international. That and without it, shopping here just wouldn’t be as fun.” – Noelle Loh, fashion editor

 

raffles hotel singapore
“Not even the swankiest six-star hotel today can rival the style, exotic romance and grandeur of Raffles Hotel. If Coco Chanel was living in this part of the world then, this would be her playground.” – Imran Jalal, senior fashion writer

VECL3309

“Tiong Bahru. This lively, lovely neighbourhood is a special kind of haven. It’s old, it’s new, it’s as famous for bak kut teh as it is for artisanal coffee, and I like how it’s always changing.” – Yeoh Jo-Ann, features editor

escentials paragon

Escentials at Paragon. The store has the best selection of luxe beauty brands – both local (DrGL) and international (Glam Glow) – under one, super chic roof.” – Moh Shuying, associate beauty editor

national museum of singapore

“I’ve been to the National Museum of Singapore countless times – for exhibitions, the annual Singapore Night Festival, flea markets and food – but its gorgeous glass-walled interior and beautifully preserved colonial facade never fail to enchant me.” – Isabel Ong, fashion and beauty writer
