		As an expatriate who now calls Singapore home, Our Editor in Chief explains how Lee Kuan Yew has impacted not just Singaporeans but every other nationality who lives here.<media:description><![CDATA[]]></media:description>

A man whom the whole nation owes their identity and progress to. But it&#039;s not just Singaporeans who&#160;owe &#60;strong&#62;Mr Lee Kuan Yew&#60;/strong&#62; - it is everyone who lives in this multicultural metropolitan,&#160;locals and expatriates alike.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Before I set foot in this little red dot that I now call home, I had no idea what to expect. I remember looking through the history and instantly, I developed respect&#160;for the man who in one generation could transform such a small new nation into the&#160;first world country we know today: Mr. Lee.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Coming from the volatile Middle East region, it first struck me how peaceful and harmonious Singapore was, despite its diversity. Politically it seemed stable and most importantly I could feel&#160;a true &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/lifelove/singapore-events-lifelove/graphic-tributes-appear-online-commemorate-lee-kuan-yews-passing-82667.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;sense of patriotism&#160;&#60;/a&#62;in all Singaporeans, regardless of their age, background or ethnicity. They identified themselves as Singaporeans before anything else. Whether young or old, one needs to only observe the pride in their eyes as National Day approaches every year - it&#039;s such a beautiful thing to watch and envy if I may say.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;But how could there be no conflict in such a culturally, religiously and racially-mixed place? How could a small country fit so much diversity and remain peaceful? And above all, how could a place with no natural resources whatsoever become one of the&#160;strongest economic forces in the continent within such a short time span?&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;I believe one man made this possible. &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/lifelove/singapore-events-lifelove/lee-kuan-yew-20-best-quotes-82388.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;Mr&#160;Lee Kuan Yew&#60;/a&#62; was visionary enough to figure out a system which has made Singapore the envy of many countries, both in the East and West. But most importantly, and unlike many leaders elsewhere, he put the country and people&#039;s benefits first even if sometimes that meant he may not have been&#160;quite the&#160;crowd-pleaser.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;I believe&#160;that makes him a great leader. In fact, one of the greatest in modern history. While many authority figures talk and promise - he took action. His vision must have been so strong that&#160;he never lost his way or determination. He never wavered.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;For me personally, I look to Mr Lee as a leader I wish my country had. Honestly, I wouldn&#039;t have had a reason to leave and seek the not-so-easy and homesick life of an expatriate if that was the case. Don&#039;t get me wrong - I love my country (Lebanon) and I am proud of where I come from, but&#160;continuous wars, corruption and dead ends back home left me with no choice but to seek a better future elsewhere. And here I &#160;am, 8000 km away&#160;yet feeling right at home.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;While Mr Lee&#160;set regulations and protected the citizens&#039; security and welfare, he also made it possible for people like myself to build a future and find a home away from home. Something I will be&#160;eternally grateful for.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/lifelove/singapore-events-lifelove/our-tribute-to-mr-lee-kuan-yew-82415.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#post-82415&#34;&#62;Mr Lee&#039;s Singapore&#60;/a&#62; is a heaven for every hard-working person where dreams can come true with enough effort and determination. At least this is what the nation gave me after so many things in my life - and country - fell apart.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;I can never be thankful&#160;enough for a place and people who took me in&#160;and where I never felt discriminated against based on my skin colour or nationality. Having lived as an expatriate for almost a decade now - 3 and a half years of which in Singapore - I can confidently say that Singapore is the only place where I found a second home and felt like I was a part of the society rather than a stranger.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Again, I believe this was no coincidence. The tolerance and acceptance which he promoted and built this country upon is what made it possible. For that, he set an example that the rest of the world has yet to follow.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;For these reasons and more - I feel very honoured to have the chance to experience and live in Mr Lee&#039;s modern Singapore. This country gave me what my country never has: peace, acceptance and a chance to make my dreams come true. So thank you Mr Lee Kuan Yew, for giving an expat like myself a home, a place where I&#039;d want my future children to grow up feeling safe, accepted and have the childhood I never had.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;May you rest in peace.&#60;/p&#62;  &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Rana Wehbe&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;meta name=&#34;original-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/culture/from-us-to-you/the-editors-corner/lee-kuan-yew-expats-tribute-singapores-founding-father-84299.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;syndication-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/culture/from-us-to-you/the-editors-corner/lee-kuan-yew-expats-tribute-singapores-founding-father-84299.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;robots&#34; content=&#34;noindex, follow&#34; /&#62;]]></content:encoded>

		Feminine and bold - the father of Korean fashion shows his latest collection in New York on February 18 ahead of Seoul Fashion Week. Here's what we thought of it.<media:description><![CDATA[]]></media:description>

As of Fall 2014 - and after showing for 12&#160;years at&#160;Paris Fashion Week - &#160;the designer has chosen &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/fashion/latest-news/new-york-fashion-week-spring-2015-42198.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;New York Fashion Week&#60;/a&#62; to be the unveiling place for his intricate and awe-inducing creations which have never failed to impress the fashion industry in Korea and beyond.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Known for single-handily bringing Korean fashion to the spotlight since the&#160;debut of his ready-to-wear line in 1993, Lie Sang Bong knows how to make an entrance while still keeping in mind that his creations are made to be worn by everyday women. Specifically, women who have an interest in and understanding of&#160;what makes good fashion, and lead busy lives hence are looking for something to stand out yet still be appropriate for their day to day functions: in other words,&#160;modern luxury.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;His latest creations demonstrated&#160;just that. Architectural&#160;and filled with beautifully-constructed details &#8211; the Fall/Winter 2015-16 collection whose unveiling&#160;coincided with the designer&#8217;s opening of his first flagship store in the Big Apple last month, was an epitome of elegance with a dash of quirk.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;What stands out the most this time round is the perfect tailoring which takes on the current 70&#8217;s and &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/fashion/best-dressed-fashion/best-dressed-week-kerry-washington-adam-lippes-pre-fall-2015-74557.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#post-74557&#34;&#62;menswear-inspired trends&#60;/a&#62; but remains feminine while bold at the same time. Case in point are delicate lace wide-leg cropped pant and midi skirts matched with thick oversized leather and wool jackets or coats. The choice of footwear resonated that idea as well and we&#8217;re pretty sure that thigh-high boots and classic pointy pumps worn with plain socks, finishing just above the ankle, will be all the hype next season so much so that we&#8217;re starting to buy our pumps a half size bigger from now.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Other highlights from the collection are the&#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/fashion/trends-and-tips/wear-geometric-trend-18244.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62; abstract floral prints&#60;/a&#62; peeking out from various parts in a now-signature LIE SANGBONG style and a hint of embroidery in the finale pieces which at first,&#160;could&#160;be mistaken as prints.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Mixing prints, fur, leather, lace, embroidery and tartan in one collection probably sounds too eclectic at once but it is no surprise that the designer somehow makes it work and the key might be his ability to be restrained and his keen architectural eye. The classic colour combination of black, white and navy blue mixed with some red and burgundy&#160;also helped create coherence in the collection from beginning to end.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;While some designers&#8217; takes on this season&#8217;s trends have&#160;been a tad too minimalistic and literal, Lie Sang Bong breathes a fresh air into retro style and a &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/fashion/the-editors-corner/oscars-2015-red-carpet-predictions-will-wear-74277.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;sense of modernity&#60;/a&#62; which make the collection unmistakably a current one.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Whether in Seoul or New York, the pieces shown on the runway yesterday would definitely find a place in a chic working woman&#8217;s closet, one who follows the trends but wants that extra touch which would make her stand out from the crowd.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Rana Wehbe&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Photos: Imaxtree&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;meta name=&#34;original-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/fashion/asia-style/seoul-new-york-lie-sang-bong-fw15-16-debuts-nyfw-74970.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;syndication-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/fashion/asia-style/seoul-new-york-lie-sang-bong-fw15-16-debuts-nyfw-74970.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;robots&#34; content=&#34;noindex, follow&#34; /&#62;]]></content:encoded>

		Luxe for less: We scour the web looking for the best pre-loved and vintage designer items which cost a fraction of their original price. Here's what we scored from our top 10 sites. Let the treasure hunting begin!<media:description><![CDATA[]]></media:description>												
								<content:encoded><![CDATA[ &#60;p&#62;While buying new &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/fashion/latest-news/stella-mccartney-asian-expansion-china-tokyo-34320.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#post-34320&#34;&#62;designer clothes &#60;/a&#62;straight off the rack and getting&#160;intoxicated by the whole ambiance of the shop are part of&#160;the shopping experience we&#160;enjoy - frankly, there is&#160;&#160;nothing better than scoring a hot luxury fashion find for a fraction of its price. No, we&#039;re not talking about mid or end-of-season sales. We mean shopping for pre-loved treasures from the comfort of your own home!&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;In recent years,&#160;a lot of&#160;people have changed their perception of &#039;used&#039; items especially when it comes to fashion. While vintage has always had a&#160;&#039;cool&#039; connotation, buying a pre-owned &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/fashion/check-out-our-favourite-picks-from-the-fashion-world-just-for-you/alexander-mcqueen-cuff-2313.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#post-2313&#34;&#62;Alexander McQueen&#60;/a&#62; dress from two seasons back was generally frowned upon. Thankfully not anymore as more and more online - and physical&#160;-&#160;retailers are popping up and offering&#160;a&#160;great and more affordable alternative to shopping for designer items at an inflated price.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;As a lover of everything vintage, antique&#160;or&#160;just great bargains really - I&#039;m always on the lookout for the latest sites offering authentic designer goods for less. Most of the time, these items look just as brand new&#160;in addition to the fact you cannot find them in stores anymore. What more? &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/fashion/trends-and-tips/accessory-trend-slip-shoes-37061.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#post-37061&#34;&#62;Shopping &#60;/a&#62;pre-loved clothes from past seasons makes it less likely to bump into a 100 others wearing the same frock as you are.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Who said you have to be decked out in the latest - sometimes unflattering - trends to look chic? follow my lead and bookmark these online treasure troves where one woman&#039;s garbage is another woman&#039;s treasure. I&#039;ve certainly found a few!&#60;/p&#62;  &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://styletribute.com/?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;Style Tribute&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;This relatively new Singapore-based e-tailer ticks all the boxes when it comes to shopping designer for less. With significantly discounted prices and a great curated and impossibly stylish choice of authentic pre-loved items, you really have to keep an eye on the latest arrivals as they usually sell out pretty quickly. What more? If you&#039;ve got any items to sell, you can do so on the site as well!&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;Best&#160;for:&#60;/strong&#62; Designer clothing and shoes - especially&#160;if you&#039;re looking for a special occasion item like an evening dress or a dressy pair of heels.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;Latest buy:&#60;/strong&#62; &#60;em&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/whats-new/entrez-dans-lunivers-givenchy-34040.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#post-34040&#34;&#62;Givenchy &#60;/a&#62;Birds of Paradise booties (pre-loved - bought for approx. USD410 - original price approx. USD1120)&#60;/em&#62;&#60;br /&#62; I fell in love with these statement heels and they came in excellent hardly-worn condition! I reckon I&#039;ll be wearing them for a few years to come!&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2014/08/1-styletribute-Givenchy-birds-of-paadise-shoes2.jpg?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;display: block;&#34; class=&#34;wrap-img&#34; id=&#34;wrap-img-37699&#34;&#62;&#60;img loading=&#34;lazy&#34; decoding=&#34;async&#34; itemprop=&#34;thumbnailUrl&#34; class=&#34;aligncenter wp-image-37699 img-responsive &#34; src=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2014/08/1-styletribute-Givenchy-birds-of-paadise-shoes2.jpg&#34; alt=&#34;1-styletribute-Givenchy-birds of paadise shoes&#34; width=&#34;330&#34; height=&#34;296&#34; /&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62;  &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.chicstash.com/?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;Chic Stash&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;With over a year and a half on the scene, Chic Stash was one of the first online marketplaces&#160;to specialise in selling&#160;&#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/travel/destination-accomplished/five-best-vintage-stores-in-hong-kong-4053.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#post-4053&#34;&#62;pre-loved fashion&#60;/a&#62;. From Birkins to highstreet buys and limited edition collaboration items, this site has it all. You just have to look hard enough.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;Best for:&#60;/strong&#62; Unique finds on all budgets especially everyday work clothes. I&#039;ve so far been so lucky finding countless items from brands such as DKNY, Lanvin and never been disappointed!&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;Latest buy:&#60;/strong&#62; &#60;em&#62;Isabel Marant for H&#38;amp;M dress (new with tags - bought for approx. USD97 - original price approx. USD233)&#60;/em&#62;&#60;br /&#62; This was the one item I wanted from the Isabel Marant and H&#38;amp;M collaboration of last year, but it was sold out on the launch date. Turns out not a bad thing as I ended up paying less than half price for it thanks to Chic Stash - and a little bit of luck!&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2014/08/Screen-Shot-2014-08-20-at-15.49.57.png?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;display: block;&#34; class=&#34;wrap-img&#34; id=&#34;wrap-img-37810&#34;&#62;&#60;img loading=&#34;lazy&#34; decoding=&#34;async&#34; class=&#34;aligncenter wp-image-37810 img-responsive &#34; src=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2014/08/Screen-Shot-2014-08-20-at-15.49.57-297x600.png&#34; alt=&#34;Screen Shot 2014-08-20 at 15.49.57&#34; width=&#34;217&#34; height=&#34;437&#34; /&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62;  &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;https://www.thefifthcollection.com/?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;The Fifth Collection&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;This new kid on the block&#160;is definitely one to watch out for if you&#039;re a true vintage-loving fashionista! Launched just last April, the site prides itself with a unique vintage collection with almost half of the products dating from the 50s onwards. From 80s accessories to luxe frocks it&#039;s a great place to find chic and timeless classics.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;Best for:&#60;/strong&#62; Vintage accessories from Chanel, Christian Lacroix, Hermes and&#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/whats-new/edie-campbell-ambassador-black-opium-perfume-yves-saint-laurent-20199.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#post-20199&#34;&#62; Yves Saint Laurent&#60;/a&#62;! They&#039;re simply to-die-for, rare collector&#039;s pieces which are worth the splurge considering their prices start at around USD550.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;Latest buy:&#60;/strong&#62; &#60;em&#62;Azzedine&#160;&#60;/em&#62;&#60;em&#62;Ala&#239;a knit dress (pre-loved vintage - bought for approx. USD240)&#60;/em&#62;&#60;br /&#62; An &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/fashion/serial-shopper/little-black-dress-2-7368.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#post-7368&#34;&#62;LBD &#60;/a&#62;is the&#160;must-have item for every woman, but an &#60;em&#62;Azzedine&#160;Ala&#239;a&#60;/em&#62; LBD is the&#160;dream LBD for every woman! While a brand new and even pre-loved frock by the King of Cling usually goes for over a&#160;thousand dollars at least, I was thrilled to score this sexy &#60;em&#62;Ala&#239;a&#60;/em&#62;&#160;number for a fraction of the price - A real bargain!! Sadly it didn&#039;t fit... but while returns are usually a hassle I try to avoid, I was also very impressed by the efficient customer service, super fast delivery (and afterwards pick up and refund) and beautiful packaging which looked truly glamorous just as the dress itself.&#160;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2014/08/Screen-Shot-2014-08-20-at-15.53.33.png?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;display: block;&#34; class=&#34;wrap-img&#34; id=&#34;wrap-img-37814&#34;&#62;&#60;img loading=&#34;lazy&#34; decoding=&#34;async&#34; class=&#34;aligncenter wp-image-37814 img-responsive &#34; src=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2014/08/Screen-Shot-2014-08-20-at-15.53.33.png&#34; alt=&#34;Screen Shot 2014-08-20 at 15.53.33&#34; width=&#34;319&#34; height=&#34;417&#34; /&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62;  &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.reebonz.com.sg/category/preowned?vt%5B%5D=vintage&#38;#038;pc%5B%5D=bags&#38;#038;pc%5B%5D=slg&#38;#038;pc%5B%5D=accessories&#38;#038;pc%5B%5D=timepiece&#38;#038;pc%5B%5D=jewellery&#38;#038;pc%5B%5D=shoes&#38;#038;utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#?productscat=ACCESSORIES,BAGS,JEWELLERY,SHOES,SLG,TIMEPIECE&#38;#038;vint=Vintage&#34;&#62;Reebonz&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;Singapore&#039;s&#160;to-go-to online store for &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/fashion/latest-news/coach-fall-2014-womens-collection-27588.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#post-27588&#34;&#62;designer bags&#60;/a&#62;, Reebonz, has recently added a section for selling pre-owned designer bags, shoes and accessories&#160;at a further discounted price. Especially with handbags and accessories, this is a great option as most of the time the items are almost brand new!&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;Best for:&#60;/strong&#62; Designer handbags, shoes, jewellery and accessories. The collection of Chanel arm candy on the site is drool-worthy... Need we say more?&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;Latest buy:&#160;&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;em&#62;Prada City Calf Borsa Cerniera bag (bought for approx. USD1200)&#60;/em&#62;&#60;br /&#62; It was love at first sight with this understated bag especially that it is one of the few Prada handbags with the logo placed more discreetly on the side of the bag rather than the front. Not that I have anything against the logo, but this particular one shows elegance and I love the colour. Plus, I got it for an excellent deal since any new one would cost at least twice as much.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2014/08/Screen-Shot-2014-08-20-at-15.59.03.png?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;display: block;&#34; class=&#34;wrap-img&#34; id=&#34;wrap-img-37816&#34;&#62;&#60;img loading=&#34;lazy&#34; decoding=&#34;async&#34; class=&#34;aligncenter wp-image-37816 img-responsive &#34; src=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2014/08/Screen-Shot-2014-08-20-at-15.59.03.png&#34; alt=&#34;Screen Shot 2014-08-20 at 15.59.03&#34; width=&#34;265&#34; height=&#34;314&#34; /&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62;  &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.roberaiders.com/?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;Robe Raiders&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;Launched by top fashion insiders, this site offers some great pre-loved luxury&#160;designers&#039; pieces at a good price. From contemporary labels like 3.1 Phillip Lim to Alexander McQueen and &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/fashion/latest-news/alexander-wang-hm-31558.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#post-31558&#34;&#62;Alexander Wang&#60;/a&#62;&#160;to classics from Chloe, Celine and Chanel, there is something for everyone!&#160;The one thing in common every item has: they are impossibly chic!&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;Best for:&#60;/strong&#62; Party frocks from Herve Leger and Dolce and Gabbana, and killer heels from Louboutin and Guiseppe Zanotti.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;My pick:&#60;/strong&#62; &#60;em&#62;Mary Katrantzou Sphinx Crystal printed silk jersey dress (pre-loved - approx. USD280)&#60;/em&#62;&#60;br /&#62; I am a sucker for&#160;printed frocks especially those of Mary Katrantzou! I love this dress but sadly it&#039;s not in my size... so you still can grab it!&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2014/08/Screen-Shot-2014-08-20-at-16.04.15.png?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;display: block;&#34; class=&#34;wrap-img&#34; id=&#34;wrap-img-37823&#34;&#62;&#60;img loading=&#34;lazy&#34; decoding=&#34;async&#34; class=&#34;aligncenter wp-image-37823 img-responsive &#34; src=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2014/08/Screen-Shot-2014-08-20-at-16.04.15.png&#34; alt=&#34;Screen Shot 2014-08-20 at 16.04.15&#34; width=&#34;220&#34; height=&#34;377&#34; /&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62;  &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.vestiairecollective.com/?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;Vestiaire Collective&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;Unlike the above websites, this one is strictly a curated marketplace for luxury and premium fashion&#160;items - rather than an e-tailer in that sense.&#160;In other words, think of it as the chic ebay of fashion (and my personal best-kept secret). With a vast collection of &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/fashion/serial-shopper/wardrobe-stapes-20-jumpsuits-summer-33597.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#post-33597&#34;&#62;designer and highstreet products&#60;/a&#62;, you can spend hours looking for a specific item or just browsing around. The prices here are set by sellers and normally very reasonable. A must-visit for all bargain-loving fashionistas!&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;Best for:&#60;/strong&#62; Anything - especially designer items from previous seasons which you&#039;ve coveting&#160;but hesitating in paying full price for.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;latest Buy:&#60;/strong&#62; &#60;em&#62;Lanvin for H&#38;amp;M colourful pumps (unused condition - approx. USD80 plus shipping)&#60;/em&#62;&#60;br /&#62; I loved these when they launched but only managed to get my hands on the black patent version so finding them in my size and at a discounted price was great. Sometimes &#039;good things come to those who wait&#039; indeed!&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2014/08/Screen-Shot-2014-08-20-at-16.05.04.png?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;display: block;&#34; class=&#34;wrap-img&#34; id=&#34;wrap-img-37824&#34;&#62;&#60;img loading=&#34;lazy&#34; decoding=&#34;async&#34; class=&#34;aligncenter wp-image-37824 img-responsive &#34; src=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2014/08/Screen-Shot-2014-08-20-at-16.05.04.png&#34; alt=&#34;Screen Shot 2014-08-20 at 16.05.04&#34; width=&#34;330&#34; height=&#34;318&#34; /&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62;  &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Rana Wehbe&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62;     &#60;meta name=&#34;original-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/culture/from-us-to-you/the-editors-corner/editors-pick-10-online-destinations-pre-loved-vintage-designer-fashion-37544.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;syndication-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/culture/from-us-to-you/the-editors-corner/editors-pick-10-online-destinations-pre-loved-vintage-designer-fashion-37544.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;robots&#34; content=&#34;noindex, follow&#34; /&#62;]]></content:encoded>

It&#8217;s crazy.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;MFA: You&#8217;re pregnant but you still look really fit. What regime do you follow?&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;F.W:&#60;/strong&#62; I try to rest as much as possible. I do about 30-45 minutes of walk around the pool if I can but that was only toward the 3&#60;sup&#62;rd&#60;/sup&#62; trimester because before that I tried to get&#160;total rest at home and be very careful.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;MFA: You look glowing in&#160;the recent Demi Moore-esque photo (above)&#160;released&#160;for your latest collaboration with Marie France Bodyline slimming centre, how was &#160;the experience of having such a photoshoot?&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;F.W:&#60;/strong&#62;&#160;It &#160;was a good experience as everyone made sure I felt comfortable and I&#039;m happy with the result.&#160;This is something I&#039;ve never tried before and will be a good keepsake to remember at this very precious moment of my life.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;MFA: Beauty-wise, do you have any specific beauty products that you use?&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;F.W:&#60;/strong&#62;&#160;During my pregnancy I try to use all-natural products as much as possible.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;MFA: Are you planning to go back to work after giving birth?&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;F.W:&#60;/strong&#62; I&#8217;ve been reading scripts now but I don&#8217;t know yet. I think I&#8217;ll just hold on and see how it goes after the birth. For now I just want to focus on enjoying the moment of having my baby in my belly.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;MFA: You&#8217;ve been to a lot of international fashion weeks and fashion events, what was the most memorable for you?&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62; F.W:&#60;/strong&#62; The most memorable was when Karl Lagerfeld came down personally for the Chanel event and of course Milan Fashion Week. We went to Milan last September and met Etro&#8217;s family, Kean Etro and Veronica. These were the two most memorable moments.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;MFA: How did you prepare for your pregnancy and any tips for mothers to be?&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;F.W:&#60;/strong&#62; Just enjoy your pregnancy. Read up a lot because there&#039;s a lot of information on the net. Most importantly be a happy mom; happy mom, happy baby.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;MFA: Is it a boy or a girl or do you know?&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62; F.W:&#60;/strong&#62; I don&#8217;t know yet. I don&#8217;t mind as long as my baby is healthy&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;MFA: Would you want your kids to go into the industry?&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;F.W:&#60;/strong&#62; I don&#8217;t know, acting is really tough. Of course I would prefer my baby to choose something else but&#160;because Chris [husband and actor Christopher Lee] and I love this line so much, so I guess our baby might have to&#160;follow this line.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Rana Wehbe&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;meta name=&#34;original-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/culture/from-us-to-you/the-editors-corner/exclusive-interview-fann-wong-32886.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;syndication-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/culture/from-us-to-you/the-editors-corner/exclusive-interview-fann-wong-32886.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;robots&#34; content=&#34;noindex, follow&#34; /&#62;]]></content:encoded>

		Jakarta-based Toton Januar thrills with another original collection for FW2014. Here's why our editor is a big fan!<media:description><![CDATA[]]></media:description>												
								<content:encoded><![CDATA[&#60;img loading=&#34;lazy&#34; itemprop=&#34;thumbnailUrl&#34; width=&#34;750&#34; height=&#34;410&#34; decoding=&#34;async&#34; src=&#34;/rw-placeholder/750/410/image.svg&#34; data-src=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2014/06/Fotor0617140947-750x410.jpg&#34; class=&#34;lazy-load attachment-rw_large size-rw_large zoom-it wp-post-image&#34; alt=&#34;&#34; /&#62;&#60;noscript&#62;&#60;img loading=&#34;lazy&#34; decoding=&#34;async&#34; width=&#34;750&#34; height=&#34;410&#34; src=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2014/06/Fotor0617140947-750x410.jpg&#34; class=&#34;attachment-rw_large size-rw_large zoom-it wp-post-image&#34; alt=&#34;&#34; /&#62;&#60;/noscript&#62;  &#60;p&#62;Very few designers leave an impact on me as much as &#60;strong&#62;Toton Januar&#60;/strong&#62; does.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Ever since emerging on the &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/fashion/asia-style/everything-big-bold-brilliant-vice-vanity-25595.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#post-25595&#34;&#62;Asian fashion scene&#60;/a&#62;, he never fails to impress - season after season.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;For me, Toton represents what fashion is all about: strong identity &#8211; bringing something new and original to the table. It&#039;s true, every idea in fashion might have been there before but until I set eye on his creative interpretations of various traditional-meets-modern&#160;aesthetics and sensibilities &#8211; I never knew there was&#160;still a lot to explore.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;This goes to show that originality indeed does exist &#8211; and is coming from our &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/fashion/asia-style/audi-fashion-festival-ong-shunmugam-fw-2014-20973.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#post-20973&#34;&#62;own Asian designers &#60;/a&#62;nevertheless!&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;A big fan? Slightly more I would say. Being the proud owner of almost quarter&#160;of his first collection, the finale gown from his second, a few gorgeous pieces from his third &#8211;and having just&#160;pre-ordered my pick of the fourth and latest one &#8211; I can say I am probably a huge admirer of the work of this &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/fashion/check-out-our-favourite-picks-from-the-fashion-world-just-for-you/alexander-wang-showed-heat-sensitive-color-changing-clothing-9480.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#post-9480&#34;&#62;young designer&#60;/a&#62; whose talent and passion is one of the most profound I&#8217;ve ever encountered in the region.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;But it&#8217;s not just the clothes I love about &#60;a href=&#34;http://totonthelabel.com/?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;TOTON&#60;/a&#62;. It is in fact, the ideas that lie beneath and inspire Toton the designer&#160;to create these stunning pieces &#8211; and of course the &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/fashion/latest-news/indonesia-knights-its-fashion-heroes-at-jakarta-fashion-week-4523.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#post-4523&#34;&#62;exquisite craftsmanship&#60;/a&#62; which would look right at home at any luxury boutique, next to the big names out there.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Take for example his latest &#60;strong&#62;Fall/Winter 2014 collection&#60;/strong&#62;. Inspired by memories which were triggered as the designer saw his&#160;late mother&#8217;s orchids blooming &#160;&#8211; the collection plays on contrasting colour, texture and shapes which reflect what might be going on in someone&#8217;s head as they recall memories&#160;once one of their senses is stimulated.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;From bright and colourful to black and white &#8211; the collection plays on contrast and randomness - just like the process of recalling memory is. The textures, abstract non-linear&#160;shapes embroidered in white on black chiffon, bright flowers and&#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/fashion/latest-news/valentino-reveals-fallwinter-2014-collection-28689.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#post-28689&#34;&#62; butterflies in 3D&#60;/a&#62;&#8230; what unifies this collection despite its aesthetic contradictions is a strong feeling, just like an idea which sometimes can make us smile and others cry.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;From the traditional hand-woven Lagosi which originates from&#160;Sengkang area of South Sulawesi in Indonesia, to embroidery in the form of Orchids - both elements were integrated in this collection for personal reasons. As &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/fashion/latest-news/indonesia-knights-its-fashion-heroes-at-jakarta-fashion-week-4523.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;Toton&#60;/a&#62; explains: &#60;em&#62;&#039;those two things are the visual stimulant to bring back memories for me. Lagosi always reminds me of my childhood and all those local &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/travel/destination-accomplished/5-different-weddings-in-bali-10220.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;wedding celebrations&#60;/a&#62;, and as for Orchids, they are my mother&#8217;s, in her little garden in the backyard, which happen to be in full bloom the day she died.&#039;&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;&#039;I want to portray the complex work of our mind when it comes to memory into the pieces. All&#160;the different aspects in one piece could be disastrous, but with the right balance it could be&#160;beautiful and exciting. So does the way our heads work, sometimes we remembering different&#160;memories at once but somehow&#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/lifelove/coaching-lifelove/le-tee-shirt-dun-ex-en-photo-30268.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62; all those memories&#60;/a&#62; are the ones that build us as a person.&#039;&#60;/em&#62; He adds.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Philosophical? I would say utterly honest and beautifully rendered into stunning works of art which I&#039;ll leave&#160;you to browse in&#160;the images above - and get inspired just like I was!&#60;/p&#62;  &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://totonthelabel.com/?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;TOTON&#60;/a&#62;&#160;is available at the following&#60;a href=&#34;http://totonthelabel.com/stockists.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62; stockists&#60;/a&#62; worldwide.

And as a result, more often than not, our skin suffers and the confusion on which product resulted in what effect begins.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;A year ago, I vowed to stop and as tempted as I am to try the latest, beautifully packaged creams which promise miraculous results &#8211; I have settled for one which I can confidently say I won&#8217;t be ditching for a while.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;My holy grail of skincare is not just one cream, but rather a set of &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/tried-and-tested/sulwhasoos-evenfair-perfecting-cushion-7394.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#post-7394&#34;&#62;Sulwhasoo&#60;/a&#62; products which I now apply religiously, day and night, to achieve a radiant and healthy complexion &#8211; that I frankly wouldn&#8217;t even trade for &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/lifelove/entertainment-lifelove/angelina-jolie-organizer-dun-top-the-rape-weapon-of-war-26435.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#post-26435&#34;&#62;Angelina Jolie&#8217;s &#60;/a&#62;luscious lips!&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Known for its unique philosophy of merging natural ingredients and science, Sulwhasoo has established itself as a brand which believes that achieving great skin relies on the balance of &#60;em&#62;yin&#60;/em&#62; and &#60;em&#62;yang&#60;/em&#62; and once that happens, true &#60;em&#62;Sangseng&#60;/em&#62; is achieved in the body which cause the&#160;&#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/whats-new/laneige-new-improved-water-bank-range-22101.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#post-22101&#34;&#62;skin to glow from within,&#160;&#60;/a&#62;reflecting true harmony.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Heritage plays a big role in formulating the winning concoctions, including the seriously time and effort consuming Poje Method, which is a combination of various methods of processing that are used to formulate Korean medicinal herbs. The ingredients are baked, steamed, fermented, or vinegared after which they are detoxified, enriched, or preserved for a longer period of time. So it&#039;s clear that what you&#039;re getting is not something produced in a clinical lab, but a much more complicated - and naturally conceived -&#160;product which justifies its&#160;price.&#60;/p&#62;  &#60;h5&#62; &#60;span&#62;&#60;strong&#62;Intriguing for sure, but why do I love the products you ask?&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h5&#62; &#60;p&#62;For the &#60;strong&#62;Timetreasure set&#60;/strong&#62; (which at the moment I only use nightly), it is the immediate rejuvenation I feel due firstly to the herbal scent which is contrasting to all the chemically-scented varieties out there. After using the full range&#160;for a few weeks, I also noticed a great improvement in my skin&#8217;s texture &#8211; as if it became thicker and more fortified and it definitely felt much more supple.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;While applying all 5 products (perfecting water, emulsion, renovating serum, &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/tried-and-tested/beauty-review-laneige-water-bank-eye-gel-moisture-cream-22114.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#post-22114&#34;&#62;eye cream&#60;/a&#62; and cream), in order, can take up to 20 minutes when done as recommended and with the &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/health/natural-healing/well-to-sleep-22811.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#post-22811&#34;&#62;accompanying massage&#60;/a&#62;, the result was definitely worth it.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;The first three products are fairly light so there was no discomfort applying them in the hot and humid weather. The eye cream has a great texture which absorbs in a couple of minutes and while my wrinkles are still visible (I didn&#039;t expect miracles after all), the &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/beauty-sos/killer-question-getting-rid-dark-circles-18986.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#post-18986&#34;&#62;dark circles and puffiness&#60;/a&#62; have decreased significantly. Not to mention how comfortable the eye cream feels especially as this is the most sensitive skin area.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;As for the &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/tried-and-tested/etude-house-face-conditioning-cream-10778.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#post-10778&#34;&#62;face cream&#60;/a&#62;, it was a little tricky to get around it at the beginning. The thickness and richness of it take a little of getting used to and less is definitely more when it comes to applying this strong herbal-scented jar of goodness.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;However, I was surprised at how quickly it sunk into my skin and I felt its effects especially in the mornings, when I woke up feeling like my skin was nourished and rejuvenated. An effect I don&#039;t usually get with most face creams.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;After using the Timetreasure renovating cream&#160;day and night for a month, I decided it is probably more suited for the night, and switched to &#60;strong&#62;Sulwhasoo&#8217;s Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Cream&#60;/strong&#62; which was more lightweight&#160;and hence better&#160;suited for the day. Teamed with the best selling &#60;strong&#62;First Care Activating Serum&#60;/strong&#62; in the mornings, and topped with sunscreen (since Sulwhasoo&#160;products boast all natural ingredients, there is no SPF protection) -&#160;my skin has never looked better.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Using this self-prescribed, complicated - and pricey - skincare routine at the moment seems unbeatable: it is effective, comfortable and most importantly natural with no side effects whatsoever. I could finally say goodbye to dull and &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/beauty-sos/skin-happens-40-years-50-21775.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#post-21775&#34;&#62;lifeless complexion&#60;/a&#62; &#8211; and to turning my face into a lab experiment.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;After all, if it works, why change it, no?&#60;/p&#62;  &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;&#60;strong&#62;Sulwhasoo products&#60;/strong&#62; are available at Sulwhasoo counters in&#160;following &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.sulwhasoo.com.sg/en/store/singapore?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;outlets and department stores&#60;/a&#62;.&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62;  &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Rana Wehbe&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;meta name=&#34;original-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/beauty-sos/tried-and-tested/sulwhasoo-holy-grail-skincare-27661.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;syndication-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/beauty-sos/tried-and-tested/sulwhasoo-holy-grail-skincare-27661.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;robots&#34; content=&#34;noindex, follow&#34; /&#62;]]></content:encoded>

		From red to orange, plum and fuschia, discover the classic - and not so classic - shades of lipstick which our editor recommends, and a few tips on how to rock them.<media:description><![CDATA[]]></media:description>

That&#8217;s my beauty obsession this summer!&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;But not just any &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/beauty-sos/killer-question-2-19732.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#post-19732&#34;&#62;lipstick&#60;/a&#62;. I&#8217;m talking about bold shades and bright colours which are all the makeup I need to instantly add a cheerful touch to any outfit, day or night.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;And when it comes to lipsticks &#8211; I believe in classics. Those basic shades that complement your skintone and instantly steal the attention from the bags under your eyes. I also believe that while experimenting is great, every woman should have THAT&#160;&#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/whats-new/maybelline-rocks-the-beauty-world-11738.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#post-11738&#34;&#62;perfect shade&#60;/a&#62;&#160;of red, orange, plum, pink and nude lipstick in her makeup bag &#8211; and stick to it.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Don&#8217;t know where to start? I&#160;have picked my personal favourites of these&#160;must-have colours to demonstrate how to choose and what to look for when it comes to dressing up your lips this summer:&#60;/p&#62;  &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;Red&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;Every girl should have the perfect shade of red lipstick for her. While that bright Louboutin hue looks great on soles &#8211; it doesn&#8217;t mean it can work on everyone&#8217;s face. Find out what&#8217;s &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/tried-and-tested/beauty-review-body-shops-instablur-20384.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;your complexion&#60;/a&#62; undertone first (warm, yellowish, cool&#8230;) and try as many shades as you can. While classic bright reds work great on cooler&#160;undertones and lighter skin, you&#8217;ll find that a slightly darker shade would complement olive and darker complexions better.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;MY PICK:&#60;/strong&#62; &#60;em&#62;YSL Rouge de Couture in &#8216;Le Rouge&#8217; 1 (approx. USD35)&#60;/em&#62;&#60;br /&#62; This particular shade is slightly darker than classic red and has great consistency and subtle shine which is also long lasting.&#60;/p&#62;  &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;Orange&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;Arguably the hottest lipstick &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/get-the-look/the-perfect-summer-lipstick-1801.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#post-1801&#34;&#62;shade for this summer&#60;/a&#62;&#160;- but also the trickiest to pull off. While donning &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/get-the-look/coral-lips-more-prominent-eyes-2474.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;orange lips is proven to highlight your eyes&#60;/a&#62; and reduce the appearance of dark circles, finding the right hue is key to make it&#160;look flattering rather than clownish.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;MY PICK:&#60;/strong&#62; &#60;em&#62;M.A.C. Pro Longwear in Good to Go (approx. USD24)&#60;/em&#62;&#60;br /&#62; Love the super bright and matte shade which lasts for hours especially if coupled with the matching Pro Longwear lip liner. This particular shade looks great on warmer undertones and is incredibly&#160;flattering especially on those days where you can&#8217;t be bothered to slap on a lot of makeup. Wear is plain with mascara and you&#8217;re literally &#8211; good to go!&#60;/p&#62;  &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;Plum&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;The &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/whats-new/lorde-x-mac-collaboration-9792.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#post-9792&#34;&#62;Lorde plum craze&#60;/a&#62; is still ongoing and while MAC&#8217;s &#8216;Heroine&#8217; shade inspired by the &#8216;Royals&#8217; hitmaker is super, it is really hard to pull off on medium toned complexion. Plum lipstick is great if you&#8217;re going for a more serious or grungy look depending on the rest of your makeup too. I like to wear it with monochrome outfits coupled with light purple-hued eye shadow to finish the look.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;MY PICK:&#60;/strong&#62;&#160;&#60;em&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/whats-new/maybelline-rocks-the-beauty-world-11738.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#post-11738&#34;&#62;Maybelline Color Show&#60;/a&#62; in Plum Perfect (approx. USD8)&#60;/em&#62;&#60;br /&#62; I have to admit I bought all 3 plum shades of this new range to try them on as I&#8217;ve been a fan of Maybelline&#8217;s earlier plum shade &#160;- Dazzling Plum from the ColorSensational collection - since it launched. This particular shade hit the spot! It is&#160;dark enough without being dull, had a bright tint and soft shine &#8211; and is very comfortable to wear.&#60;/p&#62;  &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;PINK&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;When it comes to fashion, I&#8217;m no big fan of anything pink. The only pink I wear is hot pink nail polish and lipstick. Avoid it at all cost if you&#8217;re too blonde as you&#8217;ll end up looking like &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/fashion/latest-news/barbie-dress-blake-lively-zuhair-murad-18461.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#post-18461&#34;&#62;a Barbie&#60;/a&#62; &#8211; in a bad way. But if you have&#160; darker hair, a hot pink lipstick can look very sexy and alluring &#8211; perfect for a&#160; night out.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;MY PICK:&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;em&#62; &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/whats-new/laneige-new-improved-water-bank-range-22101.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#post-22101&#34;&#62;Laneige&#60;/a&#62; K-secret Cushion Tint in Joy Pink (approx. USD17 - available from July 2014)&#160;&#60;/em&#62;&#60;br /&#62; Although this is advertised for cooler skin tones, I found it perfect for me. This lipstick comes with a cushion on the other end which you can use to blend the high pigmented shade to the effect you want. I personally prefer keeping it bold and blending slightly around the edges for a softer contour. The K-secret Cushion Tint will be available in stores starting July &#8211; so yes, I got a few more weeks to be one of the privileged few to wear it!&#60;/p&#62;  &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;Lip Gloss&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;Not many women are fans of &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/whats-new/chanel-reflets-dete-summer-2014-makeup-collection-19157.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#post-19157&#34;&#62;lipgloss&#60;/a&#62; especially as it gets too sticky in the summer. While this is true, we still need a neutral glossy shade to dress our lips when we&#8217;re going for a full-on eye makeup or simply want to plump the appearance of our lips. A good tip would be to apply nude or slightly tinted lip liner and exfoliate your lips well before you apply the gloss. If you have chapped lips, a coat of lip balm would be recommended too. And don&#8217;t forget to clean any excess with a swab once you finish applying.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;MY PICK:&#60;/strong&#62; &#60;em&#62;NARS Larger than Life lip gloss in Gold Digger (approx. USD26)&#60;/em&#62;&#60;br /&#62; The golden hue of this high shine gloss is perfect for tanned skin in the summer. I love its intense sparkly look which give the impression of fuller lips without being tacky. Although can be a little sticky (unavoidable with lip gloss) it is still comfortable to wear and can last a few hours before the need to re-apply.&#60;/p&#62;  &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Rana Wehbe&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62;  &#60;meta name=&#34;original-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/culture/from-us-to-you/the-editors-corner/lipsticks-24820.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;syndication-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/culture/from-us-to-you/the-editors-corner/lipsticks-24820.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;robots&#34; content=&#34;noindex, follow&#34; /&#62;]]></content:encoded>

		This year's AFF showcased the work of young fashion graduates as well as established designers. But what does that mean to the emerging fashion scene in Singapore and what's next? Our Editor weighs in.<media:description><![CDATA[]]></media:description>

For the first time in its 5 year existence, the &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/fashion/latest-news/audi-fashion-festival-thomas-tait-aw-2014-show-20924.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;Audi Fashion Festival &#60;/a&#62;which took place in Singapore has included a show of fashion graduates - that of prestigious &#60;strong&#62;LASALLE College of the Arts&#60;/strong&#62; - as part of its program which boasted names such as &#60;strong&#62;Prabal Gurung&#60;/strong&#62; and &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/fashion/latest-news/oscar-de-la-renta-fall-2014-closes-audi-fashion-festival-singapore-20992.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;Oscar de le Renta&#60;/a&#62;.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;The show entitled&#60;strong&#62; &#039;Between Worlds&#039;&#60;/strong&#62; showcased the work of 20 fashion graduates who experimented with &#60;strong&#62;Creative Pattern Cutting, Meanswear, Womenswear and Textiles.&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Eclectic and varied as it was - the show nevertheless displayed the potential that some of these future designers possess. Yes, the garments might not&#160;be as perfectly executed or thought of as something which you&#039;d find off the racks at the &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/fashion/latest-news/valentino-resort-2014-the-best-of-everything-5588.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;Valentino &#60;/a&#62;store but still, the passion, hard work and excitement were present for sure.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;But, what does including a graduation fashion show in a fashion week of bigger scale exactly mean or achieve?&#60;br /&#62; &#60;em&#62;&#039;I think it is fundamental to showcase talented graduating students. They are the future of fashion in Singapore. Showing them in a platform like AFF is an immense opportunity that I hope they will be able to seize and use as a platform to start a successful career&#039;&#60;/em&#62; - says &#60;strong&#62;Lionel Roudaut&#60;/strong&#62;,&#60;strong&#62; Programme Leader of the Fashion Design &#38;amp; Textiles at LASALLE&#160;College of the Arts.&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;However, showing a beginners&#039; show in between more established - and in this year&#039;s case even legendary - designers has its pitfalls as well especially as some audience might expect the same standards of quality and judge their work accordingly. But does it really matter or is it relevant at this stage? This is where relativity should be considered when judging.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Sitting at the show, I was impressed by a few of the &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/fashion/latest-news/audi-fashion-festival-thomas-tait-aw-2014-show-20924.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#post-20924&#34;&#62;pattern cutting&#60;/a&#62; students who have replicated famous designers&#039; collections and added their own take on it. The results were interesting and varying from the subtle modifications on the original to a whole transformation. The technical skills also varied and some of the garments - especially those by &#60;strong&#62;Lee ZhuEr&#60;/strong&#62; as she took on Yohji Yamamoto FW09 collection - were impressive. So were some of the dresses from &#60;strong&#62;Fonnis Choo&#60;/strong&#62;&#039;s replica of Comme de Gar&#231;ons SS12 collection which took drama to the next level.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Roudaut as well is confident about the efforts done by all parties to represent the best of what&#039;s there &#60;em&#62;&#039;the students that have been selected to be showcased realised collections where the technical skills were supporting their creative concept to high standard of workmanship. We were confident enough to show our best students to a crowd of industry professional.&#039;&#60;/em&#62; he explains.&#60;em&#62; &#039;The Fashion Design &#38;amp; Textiles programme put a lot of efforts to train our students to present collections that can be showcased in professional platforms. it&#039;s a collective effort that requires a lot of energy from all parties, but that is necessary&#039;.&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;And now the inevitable question - &#60;strong&#62;What&#039; next?&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;While having such a show is definitely a step in the right direction, a lot is still needed to boost the &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/fashion/latest-news/singapore-opens-pleatation-entirely-pleat-focused-store-19129.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#post-19129&#34;&#62;fashion industry in Singapore&#60;/a&#62; and make sure these emerging designers have the best chance of succeeding and making it in the competitive fashion world of today. While it is certainly every designer&#039;s dream to start their own label right away, some experience in the &#039;real world&#039; is necessary to make sure their venture is realistic, successful and most importantly lasting.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;This is also echoed by Roudaut: &#60;em&#62;&#039;I always encourage students to work for global companies after they graduate, to understand how the fashion systems work and to gain professional experience. It is such a complicated industry that is functioning at many different operational levels&#039;.&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;&#039;I recommend them to work 3 to 5 years, if they want to start their own label. There are so many responsibilities to be the owner of a business that is better for them to be well prepared. &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/travel/now-or-never/top-10-cheap-hotels-worldwide-hostelworld-19585.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#post-19585&#34;&#62;Going overseas&#60;/a&#62; to intern in companies is also a brilliant way to gain professional experience. They need to be exposed to a different reality, that will put them outside their comfort zone and grow their full potential&#039;.&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;After witnessing numerous promising yet poorly-conceived young labels come and go in this little red dot, I can only hope that these graduates would take their professor&#039;s advice to heart and remember that after all &#039;Rome wasn&#039;t built in a day&#039;.&#60;/p&#62;  &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Rana Wehbe&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;meta name=&#34;original-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/culture/from-us-to-you/the-editors-corner/audi-fashion-festival-lofficiel-singapore-presents-lasalle-degree-fashion-show-20945.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;syndication-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/culture/from-us-to-you/the-editors-corner/audi-fashion-festival-lofficiel-singapore-presents-lasalle-degree-fashion-show-20945.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;robots&#34; content=&#34;noindex, follow&#34; /&#62;]]></content:encoded>
