Summer love
Meet Tom Ford’s new ambassador, or Attaché, Hyun Bin, for its latest fragrance. In his regional role, the South Korean actor will make his debut in a campaign featuring the new Tom Ford Private Blend Soleil Brülant fragrance. The amber floral scent is a tribute to summer through ingredients such as mandarin and bergamot. For those who need a reminder (as if): Hyun Bin has starred in various drama series and films, including the successful Crash Landing on You, which was the second highest rating drama on cable television in Korean history. Hyun Bin’s next film Bargaining will be released later this year.
Chop, slice and dice
With the right equipment, such as the new WMF Kineo knife series, you, too, can be a Masterchef. Backed by more than 160 years of design heritage and expertise in crafting high-quality knife collections, the Kineo knife series is the latest addition to WMF’s Made in Germany knife range. The eight-piece range has a blade that is made with hardened special steel from Germany to produce a piece with exceptional sharpness, is corrosion-resistant, and has a lasting edge retention.
A new twist
The new Torsade de Chaumet High Jewellery collection celebrates the one-year anniversary of the renovation of the iconic Hôtel Particulier at 12 Vendôme. This is the very place where Chaumet first opened its store in 1812. The jewellery creations feature touches of the frieze that wraps around the Vendôme column to offer a modern and fresh twist (torsade in French), a classic Chaumet style. Through gold and precious stones, the pieces paint a picture of wheat quivering in the wind or birds caught in flight.
Hey Mickey
Inject some fun in your life with the Summer Mickey and Friends capsule collection by LeSportsac and Disney. The bags and accessories feature statement prints that pop, like Mickey Doodle, an all-over Mickey and Friends sketch upon a chambray background, or Donald Composite, a sky blue print featuring a nautical Donald Duck.
Into the mist

The collection features five Jurlique farm-grown roses in the Adelaide Hills, Australia: RosaGallica, Rosa Centifolia, Rosa Damascena, Rosa Alba, and Rosa Rugosa.

Tokyo honoured
Japanese skincare brand SKII celebrates the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, with a new bottle design for their signature Pitera Essence. As a symbol of hope, solidarity and support for the Olympic Games and athletes all over the world, the new Pitera Essence Special Edition comes in five classic cap colours with the word “Tokyo” emblazoned across all-white bottles.
Fashion drama
For Moschino womenswear resort 2022, Jeremy Scott creates a fashion show that has model Karen Elson playing the lead role. Director and designer Scott’s musical narrative features Elson in various settings while dressed in the latest Moschino fashions. An example is one where she works in a coffee shop wearing a rainbow day dress, with extended collars and multi-colour buttons. It’s a riot of colours, styles and so much fun.
