Listen like a pro
Enjoy your music the way singer-songwriter Olivia Rodrigo does with the latest LinkBuds S earbuds from Sony. Designed in collaboration with the three-time Grammy winner, LinkBuds S X Olivia Rodrigo are wireless noise-cancelling earphones that feature special equalisers tuned by Olivia and her producer, Daniel Nigro. They are meant for optimal listening of her albums which can be accessed through the Sony Headphones Connect app. Parts of the violet-hued body and case are made from factory-recovered plastic and reclaimed water bottles, in addition to recycled plastic materials from automobile parts, which gives them their characteristic marble pattern. The packaging is also free from plastic, so you can recycle the box in its entirety. It is available from November at $299 and comes with a free Olivia Rodrigo Guts Tote Bag.
Flower power
The flower has long symbolised consciousness, from the lotus representing spiritual enlightenment to the purifying qualities embodied by the calla lily. For Chloé creative director Gabriela Hearst, consciousness is the fourth and final element in achieving success in combatting climate change. Now, in Chloé’s Spring-Summer 2024 collection, Hearst delves into the enchanting sacred geometry of flowers. A white strapless ottoman knit dress unfurls into strands of sequins and wool fringing, resembling roots. A sleeveless turtleneck dress is adorned with thousands of shimmering bugle beads reminiscent of stamens. An architectural leather top paired with a gathered wool gauze skirt seamlessly blends structure and flow, while softly draped “petal” sleeves introduce fluidity into otherwise sharp tailoring.

Rabbit tales
Pilot Pen has reached a milestone of 105 years since its inception and celebrates it with the Pilot Limited-Edition 105th Anniversary “White Rabbit” Fountain Pen, with just 100 sets worldwide. This commemorative fountain pen is crafted by the skilled Maki-e artisan, Masahiro Yamada, from the esteemed Kokkokai group. The fountain pen portrays an iconic scene from the “White Rabbit of Inaba”, a tale originating from Kojiki, an ancient Japanese book of myths. In this scene, a deity known as the “Master of the Great Land” is depicted coming to the aid of the white rabbit in its time of need. This folklore embodies essential themes of “honesty” and “kindness”, virtues that hold profound significance in today’s diverse and inclusive world.
The Pilot Limited-Edition 105th Anniversary “White Rabbit” Fountain Pen is housed in an Emperor vest-type pen body. The depiction of the white rabbit on the pen barrel is intricately crafted using the Taka Maki-e (Raised Maki-e) technique, which imparts a high-relief texture to the character, elevating its presence with exquisite beauty. Delicate portrayals of the background landscape are achieved through a combination of Maki-e techniques, including Togidashi Maki-e (Burnished Maki-e) and Raden (Mother-of-Pearl) for the wave patterns, and Shishiai Togidashi-Taka Maki-e (Combined Raised and Burnished Maki-e) for the rocks. These techniques collectively infuse depth and texture into the fountain pen’s appearance, breathing life into the design.
This exceptional fountain pen is presented in a sleek matte black gift box, accompanied by a bottle of black ink, and will be available at exclusive dealers in Singapore.
