FJ Benjamin’s new luxury retail concept Avenue on 3, overlooking Paragon Shopping Centre’s atrium, brings together fashion, food and lifestyle under one 8,000-square-foot roof. Shop footwear brands like Aquazzura, Gianvito Rossi, Loewe and Giuseppe Zanotti as well as eyewear, handbags and jewellery.

Stylishly Singapore
Homegrown label Anna Rainn marked National Day with a new limited-edition collection, aptly named Stylish Singapore, and a fabulous launch party at Design Orchard. Guests sipped on tipples and chatted with co-founder Anupama Singal while admiring the pieces described as “love letters to the iconic landmarks of Singapore”. Crafted in 14 prints inspired by Singapore’s unique landscape and vibrant culture, they feature motifs like the flora of the Singapore Botanic Gardens, and lotuses – an ode to the ArtScience Museum.
Fluid Femininity
Is it too early to start shopping for holiday season? Because Fendi’s newly unveiled Fall Winter 2023 couture collection is a dream for any sparkling soiree. Artistic director Kim Jones has created a range of gorgeous full-length gowns, intricate knits, neoprene tailored furs, feathered shearlings and more characterised by soft drapes and fluid silhouettes. Intricate embellishments and tones inspired by black diamonds, rubies and sapphires – a tribute to artistic director of jewellery Delfina Delletrez Fendi’s high jewellery collection – lend unmistakable glamour.
What a Gem!
Jewellery lovers will find their hearts aflutter as they explore Lee Hwa Jewellery’s newly redesigned flagship boutique in ION Orchard. Walk through the lushly coloured space and velvet adorned walls to find displays of various collections, from the iconic ITALGOLD collection and De Beers’ Forevermark, to exclusive new launches like Fabergé jewellery that take pride of place near the entrance.
New Heights
Level up your shoe game – quite literally – with Charles & Keith’s Fall 2023 campaign collection. The Pixie series sees chunky platform heels translated into three different styles: an ankle boot, a sculptural mule and Mary-Jane pumps, all inspired by the sculptures of Constantin Brancusi. The Petra Curved Shoulder Bag from the collection takes on the same approach, injecting an austere, dramatic flair to any look.
Botanic Beauty
Known for its beautiful scarves inspired by local stories and architecture, popular homegrown brand Binary Style has introduced new pieces featuring a symphony of Singapore Botanic Gardens’ iconic elements amidst tropical foliage. These luscious 100 percent silk pieces are not only a must-have for fashion enthusiasts, but also a thoughtful gift choice, with each design capturing the magic of our urban oasis and its botanical charm. The new pieces are available in kaftan and premium silk scarf.
