This month, the Female team hankers after a relaxing hotel stay in the heart of Japan; a Cartier watch with the most striking story behind it; and resort-ready separates that are big on colour and prints.
“S/S ’16 is the label’s strongest and flirtiest collection in seasons. What I’m eyeing from it: this summery lace maxi that puts me in Insta-holiday mood.” – Noelle Loh, editor
“A loose-fitting, pared-down overcoat in jeans fabric gives new meaning to workwear denim, and my work wardrobe.” – Imran Jalal, senior fashion writer
“This pair of flatforms with cheery woven straps and contrasting patterns on the soles are my idea of fun-meets-fashion-meets-comfort.” – Isabel Ong, fashion & beauty writer
“Nestled within the Ise-Shima National Park in central Japan, this month-old hotel is a modern take on a traditional local village. Complete with private onsens and a watsu therapy pool, I know where I’m booking my next long weekend.” – Lucy Rees, associate editor
“I’ve always liked the alleged story behind this timepiece – a watch that’s damaged in an accident – and its skeletonised back that debuted last year. Now, it comes with striking blue hands and a limited run of 67 pieces. I want it even more.” – Kim Wong, contributing designer
“This gives a natural flush of colour like a cream blusher, with the ease of a compact. And I love how the rosy glow looks as though you’re not wearing makeup.” – Moh Shuying, associate beauty editor
“These contemporary lamps inspired by a Giorgio Morandi still-life painting (MRND, geddit?) are, to me, the perfect union between art and design.” – Rebecca Cecilia Yip, designer
