THE SHOPPES AT MARINA BAY SANDS presents<br />
ALL EXCESS<br />
Expect undivided attention and exclusive<br />
access to fashion treasures with<br />
The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands’<br />
Personal Shopping service<br />

<strong>2018</strong><br />
tyle icon Bo Derek once declared:<br />
“Whoever said money can’t buy<br />
you happiness didn’t know where to<br />
go shopping.” As you can imagine,<br />
she would definitely approve of The<br />
Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands. It is,<br />
after all, home to aisles of sparkling<br />
duplexes, a Louis Vuitton Crystal<br />
Pavilion, and The<br />
Shoppesʼ exclusive<br />
boutiques like CH<br />
Carolina Herrera,<br />
Tom Ford, Balmain<br />
and Chloé. Not to<br />
mention, Chanel’s<br />
largest boutique in Southeast<br />
Asia, which is remodelled after<br />
the designer’s Rue Cambon<br />
apartment and fitted with private<br />
“salons” for clients to peruse in<br />
utmost luxury.<br />
But beyond plush, intimate<br />
enclaves and grand boutiques,<br />
it is The Shoppes’ Personal<br />
Shopping service that takes<br />
retail therapy to the next level.<br />
Unlike traditional concepts<br />
where clients are attached to<br />
one stylist, at The Shoppes, you get a Personal<br />
Shopping Concierge who will escort you to any<br />
of the mall’s 170 luxury and premium boutiques<br />
via a buggy. Here, the phrase “shop till you drop”<br />
really does feel as fabulous as it sounds. Then, at<br />
each store, you will find your very own dedicated<br />
personal shopper who will greet you with a<br />
wardrobe that’s been carefully curated based<br />
on your preferred style, silhouette and budget—<br />
based on the answers you provided in your online<br />
questionnaire prior to the experience. Clients also<br />
get unparalleled first-hand access to collections<br />
and limited-edition pieces debuting in Southeast<br />
Asia; while a Fragrance Profiling Service at<br />
Penhaligon’s will lead the way to your perfect<br />
scent. And to top things off, all sessions culminate<br />
with an exclusive TWG Tea Boutique Experience.<br />
“The Personal Shopping service caters to<br />
the progressive demands from our discerning<br />
shoppers. The new service is not only a great way<br />
to host our VIP customers and royal dignitaries,<br />
it is also a special way of engaging our everyday<br />
customers who appreciate undivided access to<br />
our comprehensive collection of global brands<br />
under one roof,” says John Postle, Vice President<br />
of Retail, Marina Bay Sands. Indeed, the mark<br />
of a luxury shopping destination doesn’t just lie<br />
in the quality of the products it offers, but also in<br />
the immersive experience and level of service it<br />
provides—and The Shoppes ticks all the boxes.<br />
Why would you want to shop any other way?<br />

LETTER<br />
POUR L’ AMOUR<br />
In a speech given by Prince Philip on<br />
his 10 th anniversary to Queen Elizabeth,<br />
he spoke about the depth of their 10-year<br />
relationship and how you had to “take the<br />
rough with the smooth” because “down there<br />
in the rough, in the long reeds of difficulty and<br />
pain, that is where you find the treasure.” He ended the speech by referring to the Queen of England as<br />
“mon petit chou”, which is French for sweetheart—a term of endearment that I found delightfully<br />
charming. I watched this episode in the current airing of The Crown on Netflix and I felt as if<br />
I was watching history repeat itself. By that, I am reflecting on how 60 years down<br />
the line, time is still the biggest test of love. The apps we use today to find “love”,<br />
while immediate, are so different to the acts of courtship and seduction in the past.<br />
What you have now is the fleeting anxiousness of lust, the carnal immediacy of desire,<br />
the desperation of want—all heightened with a shrill “ping” that appears on our iPhone. True,<br />
these are all qualities we associate with love-making—but they are really just one side to the many<br />
levels and layers to uncover what true love is. Our cover model this month, Victoria Secret’s Angel,<br />
Sara Sampaio, embodies lust, desire and want. You want to be her or you want to be with her.<br />
But delving into her story on page 126, 26-year-old Sampaio is actually an old-fashioned girl at<br />
heart—quite different from the sexy siren you see peering from the cover. But oftentimes,<br />
our true selves are the opposite of what we portray in public. Friedemann Vogel, the<br />
German ballet dancer featured on page 136, is the embodiment of masculinity. Yet the<br />
softness with which he caresses spring’s dramatic coats, with every muscled sinew in sight,<br />
attests to his balance of male and female; yin and yang. We can learn a lot from Vogel’s sense<br />
of harmony, which I strive to bring to my relationships. I talk about my memorable “love guru”<br />
session on page 72, and delve into horoscopes, feng shui and the cosmos. Back down on this mortal<br />
plane, you can take a leaf out of our love guide on page 52, which is the definitive edit of all the<br />
must-have addresses to make that date night extra special. You can never go wrong with<br />
indulgent spa treats—the cream of the crop are listed in our annual Spa Awards on<br />
page 89. One piece of advice: Ditch the apps for a moment and return to<br />
the days of eye contact, sparkling repartee and a bottle of bubbly.<br />
A little champagne never hurt anyone.<br />

up an alternative wedding for<br />
the modern millennial bride<br />
When I think about how I would say<br />
“I do”, I don’t picture cavernous<br />
ballroom halls filled with far-toodistant<br />

A sheer, almost risqué dress,<br />

gown would come in floaty<br />

nude lace and satin-trimmed<br />
lingerie (11), topped with<br />
a chic netted beret (2) to<br />

towards the toes for a lengthening effect—<br />
resulting in a pair of boots that belong on<br />

encapsulate the spirit of the modern<br />

ALL THE BUZZ IN FASHION<br />
Speaking to<br />
fashion scribes post-show<br />
at the Tennis Club de Paris, Phoebe<br />
Philo tossed around words such as “joy” and<br />
“celebration” while explaining her desire to spread<br />
love and optimism at Céline this season. Earlier, she had<br />
recreated that warm and fuzzy feeling of sitting around a<br />
bonfire via a Smiljan Radic-designed set that resembled a<br />
gigantic tent, before huddling her guests together on benches<br />
covered with sleeping bags. With everyone in such close proximity<br />
and Mary J. Blige crooning “You’re All I Need to Get By” over the<br />
speakers, Philo rolled out a collection that delivered on the sartorial—<br />
and emotional—front. Double-layered trench coats were installed with<br />
hems that looped dramatically inwards; cropped boxy jackets came<br />
with generously-cut pleated pants; oversized polo t-shirts peeked<br />
from under masculine vests; feathers fluttered and fringes<br />
danced on dresses… She ensured a display of fashion that<br />
filled every inch of the body with good vibes. Now into<br />
the final stretch of her tenure, Philo’s Midas touch<br />
will be missed once she presents her<br />
last Céline collection in March for<br />
fall/winter <strong>2018</strong>.<br />

HARLEM NIGHTS<br />
First there was a capsule<br />
collection; next came a coveted<br />
spot in Gucci’s ad campaign.<br />
Now, Dapper Dan, the legendary<br />
artist and innovator whose<br />
custom-made designs took New<br />
York by storm in the ’80s, has<br />
opened an atelier backed by<br />
the might of the Italian fashion<br />
powerhouse. This comes after<br />
Gucci was singled out for a look from its cruise <strong>2018</strong> show that<br />
bore an uncanny resemblance to one of Dapper Dan’s earlier<br />
designs. “Everyone paid homage to Dapper Dan, but no one<br />
ever paid him,” said Dapper Dan in a statement. “The people<br />
have spoken and Gucci has listened.” Spread over 4,700sqft,<br />
the new studio atelier will allow Dapper Dan to customise pieces<br />
for clients using Gucci’s wide range of fabrics and hardware.<br />

ISLAND LIFE<br />
Braun Büffel’s spring/summer<br />
<strong>2018</strong> collection is an ode to<br />
Greece. However, instead of<br />
studying ancient Grecian<br />
myths and legends for<br />
cues, the brand mined<br />
the beauty of the Greek<br />
islands for its bags.<br />
From the rich blues<br />
that recall the<br />
Aegean Sea, to the<br />
sandy beiges that<br />
mimic the jagged<br />
coastlines of Milos,<br />
the colour palette<br />
has been carefully<br />
chosen to evoke<br />
the charm of the<br />
country. Even<br />
the clean lines and silhouettes of the bags<br />
point to the quaint cottages that dot<br />
Santorini’s picturesque cliffs.<br />

As expected of<br />
Kate Spade New<br />
York, the clothes<br />
are made for<br />
easy wearing<br />
The Sam bag was<br />
one of the stars of<br />
the presentation<br />
AMERICAN DREAM<br />
Kate Spade New York marks 25 years of fashion<br />
with an epic journey across America<br />
What’s your favourite piece from the collection?<br />
I think one of my favourite pieces in terms of handbags is<br />
the Sam bag. As it’s our 25 th anniversary, we’ve brought the<br />
Sam bag back but it’s slightly refreshed. So you’ll see it in<br />
many different iterations from our classic nylon with a little<br />
new twist, all the way through to wicker. It’s really an<br />
exploration of where we’ve been and where we’re going.<br />
You’ll meet our alligator wicker bag, which is going<br />
to be a lot of fun later, but really, it’s about the<br />
Sam bag in celebration of this 25 th anniversary.<br />
Tucked away in one corner of New York’s Grand Central<br />
Terminal is the Oyster Bar, a 105-year-old dining<br />
institution famous for its fresh and delectable seafood.<br />
The 440-seater’s gently curving marble colum mns<br />
have witnessed many a feast both grand and humbl mble,<br />
but this morning, its interiors are covered with<br />
lush green foliage. Even the crisp clink of cutlery and wine glasses<br />
has been replaced by the boisterous strains of music<br />
from a marching band.<br />
“It’s our 25 th anniversary so we’re kicking off<br />
with this joyous road trip across America,” explains<br />
Deborah Lloyd, the creative force steering the quirky<br />
womenswear label for the past decade. “What can<br />
be more of a perfect place to start than New York’s<br />
most famous railway station and this little gem? It’s<br />
really nice to introduce people to this place and it’s<br />
got the spirit of what the collection’s about.”<br />
Commuters in business suits have been replaced with models happily<br />
milling inside the restaurant dressed in Kate Spade New York’s spring/<br />
summer <strong>2018</strong> collection. Regarding her last collection for the brand, Lloyd<br />
talks about flirty dresses, sporty parkas, timeless style and paying homage<br />
to a city where everything’s a celebration.<br />
Bag,<br />
Kate Spade<br />
New York<br />
Did you and your team have to update<br />
the design much?<br />
It’s funny [when] you look at something<br />
and think: “Oh, it’s going to be timeless,”<br />
because nothing is timeless. We had to look<br />
at everything from the inside out because the<br />
ways bags are manufactured then and now are<br />
different. You have to look at proportion,<br />
Deborah<br />
Lloyd<br />
manufacturing, finish, raw materials… So everything<br />
was restudied again. Even though it sort of looks the<br />
same, it feels modern and updated. We did tweak<br />
the labelling on the outside—we’ve gone loud and<br />
proud with a beautiful, slightly bigger logo on the<br />
nylon that looks very fresh.<br />
This is a brand that speaks to 16- and 60-yearolds.<br />
Why is it so?<br />
I think Kate Spade New York really embraces<br />
femininity and the different facets of women. It’s very inclusive. We’re a very<br />
welcoming brand with colour, wit and whimsy. Women love Kate Spade<br />
because it makes them smile. It’s a little bit of a bright spot in their day. By<br />
offering everything, from handbags to ready-to-wear to jewellery to shoes,<br />
you talk to many women.<br />
BY GERALD TAN<br />
Tell us more about the new collection.<br />
The collection’s called “Southern Charm”, and it’s inspired by New Orleans.<br />
It’s the first stop of our American tour. It’s an amazing city with so much to<br />
offer, from the Garden Districts to the magnolia trees, gorgeous Spanish<br />
mansions to the French quarters where jazz and the atmosphere make<br />
everything a party. It really brought the collection to life.<br />
Drawing parallels from the train station, how would you describe<br />
your journey with the brand?<br />
It’s been an incredible journey so far. I love the fact that this is also my<br />
celebration! It’s come a long way, but I feel that as a brand, we’ve just hit our<br />
stride. There’s so much more to do. It’s really exciting. But it’s nice to hit this<br />
milestone and say, “We’ve made it here. Where are we going next?” ■<br />

hues will also be vying for your attention come spring. There’s a good reason why we’re<br />
seeing this parade of soothing tones turn up on runways from Alexander McQueen to<br />
Michael Kors Collection: With the world shrouded in an air of uncertainty, designers are<br />
telling us to step out in the sweetest shades to lift our spirits. So go ahead and take your<br />
pick, whether it’s the layers of delicate pinks on an unconventional ensemble at Miu Miu,<br />
or the sensual sheen of icy mint on a flashy fringed number at Diane von Furstenberg.<br />

Fashion has witnessed its fair share of homages,<br />
but this season’s acts of tribute will be<br />
remembered for the ways the past and present<br />
collided to create a beautiful future. In a moving<br />
ode to Gianni Versace, Donatella assembled an<br />
unbeatable cast of supermodels from past and<br />
present, then dressed them in a multitude of<br />
prints synonymous with the genius of her late<br />
brother. Meanwhile, Off-White’s Virgil Abloh<br />
leafed through the sartorial manual of Princess<br />
Diana to come up with a super-cool collection<br />
fit for today’s style royalty. Gucci’s Alessandro<br />
Michele also got into the thick of the action<br />
with his embellished-to-the-hilt interpretations<br />
of Elton John’s eclectic stage outfits—quirky<br />
jumpsuits and crystal-studded caps included.<br />

Shorts are as ubiquitous in summer as straw hats and pool slides. However, this<br />
season’s discussion isn't centred around their lengths. Instead, it is how designers<br />
have elevated the off-duty staple by proposing novel ways to wear it. At Louis<br />
Vuitton, Nicolas Ghesquière paired running shorts with regal brocade jackets,<br />
while Miuccia Prada imbued hers with an artistic lean by belting them over shirts<br />
emblazoned with cartoon prints. Elsewhere, Alexander Wang devised a denim<br />
shorts-meets-leather pants hybrid at his namesake brand that was full of kick.<br />

climate when he showed a range of waterproof parkas and trench coats. Karl<br />
Lagerfeld also seemed to have fun with the trend at Chanel: Besides installing<br />
a giant waterfall in the middle of the Grand Palais, he had models parade<br />
down wooden boardwalks in plastic bucket hats, capes and boots. Meanwhile,<br />
brands such as Fendi and Salvatore Ferragamo capitalised on their savoirfaire<br />
and utilised sequins and luxurious fabrications to recreate the synthetic<br />
sheen on lightweight see-through shirts and sensual pencil skirts.<br />

Live life in Technicolor<br />
From vivid blues to radiant yellows, bright hues often paint a<br />
picture of fresh and youthful energy. This season’s palette<br />
has gotten even more intense, fuelled by a kaleidoscope of shades<br />
that draw the eye in with their seductive boldness. On the<br />
runways, Donatella Versace jolted the senses with flashy displays<br />
of orange and purple, while Raf Simons engineered vibrant<br />
colour blocks in his re-imagining of the American Dream<br />
at Calvin Klein 205W39NYC. Ease into the trend like how you<br />
would fill in a colouring book: Wear a shade from head to toe<br />
for a high-impact look, or pick contrasting combinations<br />
that<br />

WHAT’S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT?<br />
In his search for the meaning of life, Kenneth Goh<br />
narrows it all down to<br />
matters of the heart...<br />
And a little magic<br />
in the stars<br />
On a recent trip to the Maldives, I had<br />
the chance to experience a special “love guru”<br />
session with a visiting spiritual healer. I’ve been with<br />
my partner for over a decade and thought this might give<br />
us new perspectives and insights into our relationship. My<br />
partner was very sceptical, and when the healer visited our villa,<br />
asking for drawn curtains and lit candles, alarm bells started to ring.<br />
Still we played along, down to the humming mantras being played on<br />
her iPad. The session started with us sitting cross-legged and looking into<br />
each other’s eyes. We prayed hard we wouldn’t laugh as she told us to imagine<br />
that we each had a flower in our own hearts with a light emanating from the<br />
centre into each other’s hearts. Then, we had to place one hand on our heart<br />
and the other on each other’s heart. My partner was then asked to climb onto<br />
my lap, our ears pressed side by side, and hum, so that our souls could hear<br />
the resonance of our love and open our chakras (all I could think about was<br />
the worsening pins and needles in my right leg, but I digress). All the while<br />
we were tasked with stroking and touching parts of each other’s face and<br />
body. I kept imagining an ugly pimple on the side of my face, and when<br />
roaming fingers started stroking my cheeks, the first thought wasn’t “That’s<br />
so soothing” but rather, “Have you washed your hands with disinfectant?”<br />
The effect was nothing short of an Absolutely Fabulous moment—I could<br />
just imagine Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley as Edina and Patsy<br />
having a “love prayer” session; mini cymbals clinking, candles ablaze<br />
and the air filled with the scent of incense smoke.<br />
Needless to say, the session was marvellous for amusing afterdinner<br />
conversation. Have you ever been tasked to look into<br />
your partner’s eyes to see their soul? I thought not.<br />

for living their life according to the stars—astrology is as integral<br />
to the team’s survival as water and air. If there’s any mishap, we<br />
put it all down to Mercury being in retrograde. Even when we moved<br />
into our new offices, we went through a complete feng shui process that<br />
included rolling a pineapple into the premises to ensure good fortune.<br />
Recently, there was a tarot card reader at a Dior event—tarot cards featured<br />
prominently in its cruise collection, after all—and true to tradition, my team<br />
was first in line, asking all sorts of questions. But somehow, it all boiled down<br />
to the one topic that mattered most: Love.<br />
I remember meeting the famed astrologer, Susan Miller, in New York<br />
almost 10 years ago. I was with Senior Fashion Editor, Windy Aulia. To him,<br />
a personal audience with Miller is the equivalent of winning Willy Wonka’s<br />
Golden Ticket in real life. While a love guru and tarot cards weren’t able<br />
to give me serious insights into my relationship, would Miller be able to<br />
help? I turned to the Astrology Zone website and this was Miller’s<br />
summary for Leo that month: “You love to be in love. You love the<br />
thrill of the chase, the candlelit dinners, the romantic text messages,<br />
and tender moments together. You are usually jovial and in high<br />
spirits—this month, you seem uncharacteristically serious. This<br />
can be a good sign, for you and your sweetheart may be getting<br />
ready to wed and discussing your future together.”<br />
Wow! That’s news to me indeed. Sweetheart, are you<br />
reading this? If all goes as Miller said, there might be<br />
bells ringing and champagne glasses clinking well<br />
into <strong>2018</strong>. Perhaps the love guru did open some<br />
chakra th<br />
we never knew existed. If it<br />
calls for us to hum a tune and get our faces<br />
stroked, sign us<br />
up. There’s nothing we<br />
wouldn’t do for<br />
that thing called love.<br />

A 1930s icon from Salvatore Ferragamo’s archives, the Flower Heel was given a<br />
breath of fresh air when Paul Andrew reintroduced it into his collections upon<br />
his appointment pointment as the brand’s first-ever Women’s Footwear Design<br />
Dire<br />
ector in September 2016. From the brand’s beloved Vara<br />
Pumps, to sexy strappy sandals and velvet slip-ons, the<br />
Flower Heel (galvanised in a car factory) made its<br />
appearance throughout Andrew’s debut<br />
collection for Ferragamo—and continues<br />
to do so in his designs. With the newly<br />
int<br />

15 MINUTES WITH...<br />
Dr Yannis Alexandrides<br />
The founder of 111 SKIN tells BAZAAR more<br />
about his high-performance skincare line<br />
ON WHY HE FOUNDED THE BRAND<br />
I found it difficult to find products to offer<br />
my patients for post-surgery reparation.<br />
This desire led me to research into<br />
new ingredients.<br />
ON HIS PATENTED INGREDIENT<br />
I discovered a sponge that was sewn<br />
under wounds to enhance skin healing,<br />
which was soaked in a complex<br />
engineered by space scientists. I contacted<br />
the scientists to see if there was a way we<br />
could create a serum. It was [at that<br />
point of time] that I patented<br />
NAC Y 2 , a unique formula that<br />
has a high level of powerful<br />
antioxidants to restore and<br />
regenerate skin, which instigated<br />
the original Dramatic Healing Serum<br />
I introduced to my patients.<br />
ON CREATING PRODUCTS HIS<br />
PATIENTS WANTED<br />
After conversations within my clinic, it<br />
was clear to me that patients’ concerns<br />
did not stop at healing and repair. For<br />
example, I created the Y Lift Neck and<br />
Décolletage Serum as an intensive<br />
treatment to be used below the<br />
jawline [to meet the] ever-growing<br />
demand for anti-ageing skincare.<br />
From Top: Y Lift Neck and<br />
Décolletage Serum, $495; Y Theorem<br />
Repair Light Serum NAC Y 2 , $380;<br />
Meso Infusion Overnight Micro<br />
Mask, $198 for four pieces, 111 Skin<br />
ON A SOUND SKINCARE REGIME<br />
A good routine would be to simply cleanse and tone, [before<br />
using] serum, moisturiser, eye product and SPF for the day.<br />
ALL NIGHT LONG<br />
Don’t let your makeup mess<br />
up your plans for the night.<br />
Urban Decay’s full-coverage<br />
foundation hides<br />
everything from dark<br />
circlescles to even tattoos<br />
while<br />
controlling shine<br />
for up to 24 hours.<br />
Then, douse your skin<br />
with its Rebound<br />
Collagen-Infused<br />

gives skin a moisture<br />
boost so makeup stays<br />

properties, SK-II’s iconic ingredient,<br />
Pitera, feeds skin with a unique blend<br />
of essential nutrients. To further<br />
enhance the effects of Pitera, the<br />
Skin Clarity Facial combines<br />
carefully selected SK-II products with<br />
effective pore-cleansing techniques<br />
to transform dull and blemished skin<br />
for an enviably clear complexion.<br />
TRANSFORM YOUR SKIN<br />
Designed to deeply cleanse skin<br />
and unclog congested pores, the<br />
SK-II Skin Clarity Facial begins<br />
with thorough cleansing before an<br />
extensive extraction is performed to<br />
carefully remove pesky comedones.<br />
Each beauty therapist at SK-II<br />
Boutique Spa has been formally<br />
trained in manual extraction<br />
techniques as well as the correct<br />
use of extracting tools so that the<br />
treatment can address clogged pores<br />
while remaining gentle on skin.<br />
Next, Ionic Silver Gel and Cryo<br />
technology are used to cool and<br />
disinfect the extraction spots. A face<br />
mask is then applied to replenish<br />
skin with hydration, improve its<br />
elasticity and reduce signs of redness.<br />
Finally, a recovery gel protects the<br />
extracted areas while the rest of your<br />
skin is moisturised.<br />

GET PHYSICAL<br />
With a name like Exilis Skin Gym,<br />
it’s no secret what Moyem Medical<br />
Aesthetics promises to deliver<br />
with its treatment. Just like how<br />
sit-ups strengthen and firm up<br />
the abdomen, and jogging<br />
increases endurance and improves<br />
cardiovascular health, the Exilis Skin<br />
Gym treatment dramatically lifts,<br />
sculpts and strengthens the skin at<br />
problem areas.<br />
NO SWEAT<br />
The treatment combats skin ageing<br />
in three key steps: Warm-Up,<br />
Cardio-Sculpt and Cool-Down.<br />
But unlike a workout at the gym,<br />
you won’t break into a sweat<br />
with this. The procedure begins<br />
with exfoliation to eliminate dead<br />
skin cells and activate cell renewal.<br />
Next, Moyem’s medical grade<br />
monopolar radio frequency<br />
energy is used to boost blood<br />
circulation and accelerate collagen<br />
remodelling and regeneration.<br />
In the final part of the treatment,<br />
the skin is dressed in an antioxidant<br />
cocktail of potent peptides and<br />
vitamins before SkinFit Therapy’s<br />
micro-ultrasound is applied to<br />
enhance lymphatic drainage and<br />
augment the benefits of the infusion.<br />
LIFT OFF<br />
Exilis Skin Gym is a highly versatile<br />
non-invasive treatment that targets skin<br />
firmness and elasticity; and it’s suitable<br />
for all skin types. Another upside to<br />
this facial workout? You don’t have to<br />
own a gym membership to experience<br />
getting toned and tightened.<br />
Exilis Skin Gym starts from $449.40<br />

Skincare fads come and go, but fruit<br />

of time. With the advent of newage<br />
science and technology, we can<br />

Enter Moyem Medical Aesthetics’<br />
Clear Reveal, an all-in-one treatment<br />
that combats multiple skincare<br />
concerns. Thanks to its new medicalgrade<br />
Innovative Peel, a unique<br />
delivery system ensures that the fruit<br />
acids effectively penetrate deep into<br />
skin layers to kick-start sluggish<br />
cell renewal so dullness is kept at<br />
bay. Complementing the Innovative<br />
Peel is the Ultrasonic Deep Pore<br />
Cleansing to purify skin, before a<br />
LED red light therapy session takes<br />
over to accelerate skin-healing and<br />
stimulate the production of collagen.<br />
Finally, the clinic’s Intensive A+ Mask<br />
is applied to seal in moisture and<br />

HEALING FREQUENCY<br />
You might not realise it but the<br />
skin on your neck is subjected to<br />
countless stretching motions during<br />
the day. Regain firm and taut skin<br />
around your neck with Healthsprings<br />
Aesthetics’ Protégé Elite treatment.<br />
Thanks to its radio frequency<br />
technology, this FDA-approved<br />
device stimulates structural proteins<br />
responsible for skin firmness for<br />
visible smoothening and gradual lift.<br />
WAVES OF BENEFITS<br />
As the device tip is applied over<br />
the skin, it emits monopolar radio<br />
frequency energy to steadily warm<br />
skin to about 42 and 44 degrees<br />
Celsius. At this temperature, collagen<br />
undergoes structural changes, which<br />
brings about new collagen growth—a<br />
process known as neocollagenesis—to<br />
gradually improve skin texture by<br />
smoothening fine lines and wrinkles<br />
while targeting skin laxity over the<br />
next few weeks.<br />
MAXIMUM COMFORT<br />
Suitable for use around areas like<br />
the neck, eyes, jawline and lower face,<br />
this treatment is specially devised<br />
to achieve optimum results while<br />
ensuring safety and comfort.<br />
A grounding pad is placed on the back<br />
during the treatment to ensure the<br />
harmless delivery of radio frequency,<br />
and all you will feel is a warm<br />
sensation as the device tip glides over<br />
skin. Slight redness is to be expected<br />
immediately after the treatment,<br />
but this subsides within hours<br />
and you can expect to resume your<br />
daily activity in no time.<br />
Protégé Elite is $180 (for the<br />
first trial) for 45 minutes.<br />

POWER OF THREE<br />
Promising a pain-free fix to body<br />
contouring, the treatment begins<br />
with BTL X-Wave, which directs<br />
the transformative energy of acoustic<br />
waves deep into the skin to firm<br />
skin and reduce the appearance of<br />
cellulite. Next, the revolutionary<br />
Vanquish Me melts unwanted, excess<br />
fat around the abdomen and love<br />
handles. Scientifically proven and<br />
clinically tested, Vanquish Me is a<br />
selective radio frequency system<br />
that delivers energy to heat up and<br />
destroy fat cells without overheating<br />
surrounding tissue like the muscles,<br />
internal organs or even skin surface.<br />
Your body’s natural metabolism<br />
then flushes out the destroyed fat<br />
cells via lymphatic drainage for<br />
a sculpted mid-section.<br />
Lastly, to further tighten the<br />
skin’s problem areas, the Exilis<br />
Ultra machine is then applied to<br />
deliver advanced radio frequency to<br />
stimulate the production of collagen<br />
for a gradual firming and lifting effect.<br />
SHAKE IT OFF<br />
The combination of all three<br />
FDA-approved devices makes this<br />
treatment the go-to choice for<br />
those looking to contour and tone<br />
the abdomen area as it provides a<br />

TOTAL REJUVENATION<br />
Privé Aesthetics’ CALECIM ® Youth<br />
Restore Facetherapy is designed<br />
to make the most of CALECIM ®<br />
Professional’s rejuvenating qualities.<br />
The facial starts with a crystal<br />
microdermabrasion and a gentle<br />
peel to slough away dead skin<br />
cells. Once the skin is primed<br />
for absorption, CALECIM ®<br />
Professional Serum is applied,<br />
bathing skin in stem cell proteins<br />
that can boost skin’s natural<br />
renewal and regeneration<br />
process. Glycoproteins found<br />
in CALECIM ® can help improve<br />
cell metabolism while stem cellderived<br />
collagen, albumin and<br />
fibronectins help keep skin plump.<br />
Hyaluronic acid, which is also<br />
naturally found in stem cell<br />
proteins, binds water so that skin<br />
restores its suppleness.<br />
A REVITALISED MIEN<br />
After the treatment, skin radiance<br />
and hydration are instantly<br />
enhanced. Over the course of the<br />
next four weeks, optimal cellular<br />
renewal continues so that skin<br />
volume and firmness are gradually<br />
and visibly enhanced.<br />
CALECIM ® Youth Restore Facetherapy is $380 for 105 minutes.<br />

RECOGNISING YOUR SKIN TYPE<br />
A multitude of factors can affect<br />
your skin. While some people might<br />
be more predisposed to sensitive<br />
skin due to genetics, lifestyle factors<br />
tend to aggravate the condition and<br />
compromise your skin’s ability to<br />
fend off external sources of irritation<br />
effectively. For example, when<br />
your skin is subjected to pollutants,<br />
temperature fluctuations or certain<br />
skincare ingredients, it can become<br />
sensitised, dehydrated and flushed.<br />
conditions that plague sensitive skin.<br />
Boasting a high amount of essential<br />
fatty acids—the basic components<br />
for the skin’s cell membrane—the<br />
treatment reconstructs the protective<br />
barrier of the skin and locks in<br />
moisture to increase resistance against<br />
environmental stresses.<br />
ALL OF NATURE’S GOODNESS<br />

has been researched and developed in<br />
Korea for natural-looking brows while<br />
remaining gentle to skin.<br />
STROKES OF GENIUS<br />
After an in-depth brow analysis, your<br />
therapist uses specialised Koreanmade<br />
9V Ultimate Nano Embroidery<br />
Needles to embed pigments beneath<br />
the upper epidermis without<br />
puncturing or damaging deeper skin<br />
tissues. The ultra-fine micro-needles<br />
also mean that softer and more<br />
natural-looking eyebrow strokes can<br />
be created with greater precision. On<br />
top of that, the therapists undergo<br />

about the latest brow trends, as well as<br />

artistry to design the ideal brow<br />
shape to flatter your features.<br />

HARPER’S BAZAAR FEBRUARY <strong>2018</strong> 129
The Rocky Buttes Movie Ranch is a panoramic<br />
desertscape east of Lancaster, California. Here, the majestic arid<br />
land stretches as far as the eye can see, dotted with Joshua trees<br />
that stand resilient among dusty boulders. Together with the crush<br />
of sand and gravel under the feet, the howl of the wind washes<br />
over the mind and body like waves from a discordant tune. The<br />
effect is both invigorating and humbling all at once.<br />
Staring pensively into the distance, top model Sara Sampaio<br />
is soaking up the energy of the place. Her head is wrapped in<br />
vintage, gauzy scarves and she is dressed in threads that resemble<br />
finds from a nomad’s cherished stash. From afar, Sampaio’s regal<br />
and proud stature is akin to a desert princess surveying the grandeur<br />
of her kingdom.<br />
This otherworldly landscape cannot be further removed from<br />
Matosinhos, a coastal municipality in Portugal. This is where the<br />
26-year-old head-turner spent her formative years in the warm<br />
embrace of her family, friends and the salty sea air. “It was such a<br />
great place to grow up in. We spent all summer on the beach and<br />
surfing. Taking walks by the beach is my favourite thing to do.<br />
There’s something about the ocean that is so special and calming,”<br />
Sampaio recalls. “Porto (Matosinhos’s more famous neighbour)<br />
has this laidback feeling to it. Their people are strong-minded, but<br />
we’re more go-getters.”<br />
That streak is definitely evident in Sampaio, who launched<br />
her modelling career after winning a Pantene competition at age<br />
16. For clinching top honours, Sampaio appeared in a TV<br />
commercial for the brand. Despite the enormity of the careermaking<br />
gig, Sampaio’s parents were insistent their daughter did<br />
not neglect her studies. “The only thing they expected from me<br />
was that I kept my grades up. And that was a fair demand,” she<br />
remembers. “They were my biggest supporters from the moment<br />
I had the chance to go international after finishing school. They<br />
understood that this was a one-time opportunity. They also knew<br />
the worse-case scenario was me going back to the books.”<br />
There wasn’t any worse-case scenario to worry about. Aided<br />
by good work ethics (plus a little sprinkling of luck), Sampaio’s<br />
career has been on a steady ascent. In the years since her freshfaced<br />
beauty was broadcasted to millions of households across<br />
her home country, the five-time winner of “Best Female<br />
Model” at the Portuguese Golden Globes has modelled for<br />
the likes of Balmain, Dolce&Gabbana, Marc Jacobs and Miu Miu.<br />
In 2013, the pouty-lipped clotheshorse landed the coveted spot<br />
on the Victoria’s Secret roster. Sampaio knew the significance<br />
of the Victoria’s Secret job—she faced rejection for two years<br />
before hitting the glitter-covered runway. Eventually, her hard<br />
work and presence proved formidable, and she earned her Angel<br />
wings in just two seasons: “Being put in the same list with Angels<br />
past and present, such as Gisele Bündchen and Adriana Lima, still<br />
feels quite surreal.”<br />
Sampaio has brought the same determination into her romantic<br />
life. “When I love, I’m there for the long haul. I don’t fall in love<br />
easily, nor have I had many boyfriends. I don’t get into a relationship<br />
just for the sake of it,” she observes. “Love makes you a better<br />
version of yourself. And I’m in it for the long run.”<br />
She is currently dating British investor Oliver Ripley, and the<br />
lovebirds have been spotted hand-in-hand on red carpets in Cannes,<br />
frolicking on board a yacht in Ibiza and most recently, ushering<br />
the New Year in Sydney. Privacy is a valuable commodity in this<br />
social media-driven era, where smartphones are on-hand to<br />
document everything. With more than six million followers on<br />
Instagram, Sampaio has managed to walk the delicate tightrope<br />
of engaging her fans with snapshots from her jet-set life, while<br />
maintaining privacy at the same time. “I share a lot of my life, but<br />
I also like to keep certain things to myself. A relationship is just<br />
between two people anyway. It feels nice to have something that<br />
is just yours. That way, it doesn’t give much room for people to<br />
give opinions on your relationship.”<br />
More importantly, Sampaio understands the influence<br />
she wields in the online sphere. If there’s a silver lining to be found<br />
in this digital age, it’s how hashtags have become vessels for change,<br />
with #lovewins, #metoo and #myjobshouldnotincludeabuse<br />
leading the charge in 2017. Sampaio has spoken out against<br />
harassment and abuse in the modelling industry, bravely detailing<br />
her experience with a French men’s magazine in an Instagram<br />
post that has since garnered her an overwhelming amount of<br />
support. “It has always been important to speak out. Now we have<br />
a direct platform to do so. You have a direct line to millions of<br />
people who care, support and listen,” she says. “And that’s powerful.”<br />
On what more can be done, especially when it comes to<br />
issues such as equality and women’s rights, Sampaio offers:<br />
“Accountability is the most important. Seeing people being held<br />
accountable for their actions has been amazing and it’s going to<br />
start the change the industry really needs. I hope it will come to<br />
the fashion industry because we are desperately in need of it.”<br />
Love comes in all forms, too, and Sampaio hopes to contribute<br />
to the discussion on embracing diversity and celebrating differences<br />
by advocating kindness. “The next time you think about calling<br />
someone fat, skinny or whatever, just stop. Compliment them<br />
instead,” Sampaio says. “No one is perfect. And that’s what makes<br />
us special and beautiful.” ■<br />

Friedemann Vogel is a world-renowned ballet<br />
dancer who has performed in front of<br />
thousands, but today his only audience is a<br />
camera that’s capturing his every graceful<br />
movement. In town to reprise the titular role<br />
of Romeo in the John Cranko-choreographed<br />
re-telling of Romeo & Juliet, Vogel’s talent shines through even when<br />
he’s offstage. As he prances around the photo studio like a bird<br />
soaring through the skies, the ends of a trench coat trailing in his<br />
wake, every elegantly-executed pointe, pirouette and flex of his<br />
sinewy muscles is mesmerising to watch.<br />
With his handsome good looks and piercing gaze, Vogel was<br />
destined to be a dancer. Born in Stuttgart, Germany, the 38-yearold<br />
comes from a family of five brothers whose passion for art<br />
flows through their veins. “It was very natural for me to pursue<br />
something in the field. One of my brothers is also a dancer, so my<br />
parents didn’t find it unusual at all that I’d eventually walk the same<br />
path,” he adds.<br />
After a childhood spent putting up impromptu performances<br />
for his parents, the young Vogel showed so much promise that he<br />
landed a coveted spot in the Princess Grace Academy of Classical<br />
Dance in Monte Carlo. Since then, Vogel has taken home top<br />
accolades at many prestigious international ballet competitions<br />
such as the Prix de Lausanne and the Prix de Luxembourg. His<br />
biggest achievement thus far? His induction into the famous<br />
Stuttgart Ballet in 1998, where he proved his mettle and was<br />
promoted to principal dancer in just a few short years.<br />
What is it that you love most about ballet?<br />
I like how ballet allows you to move and express yourself with<br />
your body. I was a child who had to constantly move. I couldn’t<br />
sit still in one place to read. If you do ballet every day professionally,<br />
it becomes something like bread and water. When I’m on holiday<br />
for two weeks and I don’t do ballet, I find my body needing it.<br />
The body hurts more when I stop than when I train.<br />
Can you remember the first time you stood on stage?<br />
When I was little, I’d wear my costumes and put on many shows<br />
for my parents. However, the first time I took to the stage was in<br />
ballet school. I was super excited to finally get the opportunity to<br />
perform. When you’re a child, you don’t think about the<br />
consequences—you just go out there and have fun. I always try to<br />
remember that and think about the essence of dance. The best<br />
performances I’ve had were the ones where I dove right into the<br />
music. Most of the time, the music comes from a live orchestra.<br />
When everything comes together, it’s like a miracle; an addiction.<br />
That’s the hard part if you were to stop ballet; when the time comes,<br />
that’s the part that dancers will miss.<br />
What role do you think dance plays in the world?<br />
I think it plays a very important role. I believe that everyone who<br />
wants to dance will find a way to do so. Professional or not, it<br />
doesn’t really matter because dance isn’t always about performing<br />
for other people. Dance is about self-expression and finding that<br />
connection. It is not bounded by language or geography.<br />
Do you think talent is born or can it be nurtured?<br />
Talent is something that cannot be described. I think it comes from<br />
a place of love. When you love something so much, you’re deeply<br />
into it. I believe that there’s a strong power somewhere that guides<br />
you. You have to be open-minded about where that takes you.<br />
What’s next for you?<br />
Besides continuing to dance, I want to support young dancers<br />
out there who don’t have the means to pursue their interests.<br />
My parents couldn’t afford the best education for me, but I was<br />
lucky I got a scholarship from my academy in Monte Carlo. As<br />
such, I have set up a foundation to support dancers, choreographers<br />
or anyone who wants to express themselves through dance. I<br />
want to give them the opportunity to chase their dreams—not<br />
just in ballet, but other dance scenes as well. It is so important for<br />
our culture.<br />
If a ballet performance was made about your life, what<br />
would it be like?<br />
There would be a lot of emotions in this performance,<br />
from happiness to self-doubt, and a lot of ups and downs. But<br />
you’ll never know where life takes you. I just hope it won’t be a<br />
dramatic ending! ■<br />

This<br />
month’s<br />
chic list<br />
Edited by Dana Koh<br />
How would you describe your<br />
identity as an artist?<br />
I usually just make what I want to<br />
make; [art] has always kind of saved<br />
me. Whenever I felt down in school,<br />
I would draw; I would make up<br />
stories and<br />
I loved doing that. Art for me, is a<br />
way for me to understand and express myself.<br />
What first made you pursue art?<br />
Art just came naturally to me. My mum told<br />
me I’ve been scribbling since I was about two<br />
years old. Since then, I’ve just been obsessed<br />
with it. It’s not that I’m pursuing something;<br />
it’s something that I just have to do.<br />
How have you evolved as an artist so far?<br />
I’ve always created art as a form of personal<br />
expression, but recently<br />
I’ve been able to work<br />
on commercial projects.<br />
So in that sense, it’s really<br />
been a challenge to figure out how I use art—not only<br />
to make just what I want, but what would work for the<br />
client as well. Taking on jobs professionally pushes me to<br />
create something different than what I normally would.<br />
I had planned on going to art school but it didn’t feel<br />
right for me. I didn’t feel like that was what I wanted<br />
to do with my life at the time. So I’ve been practising<br />
every day by myself. Artists recreate what they are<br />
inspired by every day—new people, new experiences—<br />
and are exposed to different types of art. So your style<br />
will change as well, inevitably.<br />
What are your key sources of inspiration?<br />
Experiences in life and also music. It could be the lyrics,<br />
sounds, song titles—simple, little things. When listening<br />
to music, it helps me think; it helps me create stories.<br />
Like if you listen to music and you close your eyes,<br />
you create an image to the song; that’s how I do it.<br />
What are you working on at the moment?<br />
I’m planning a solo exhibition in Japan and I’m working<br />
on some pretty big art projects, including a collaboration<br />
with a fashion brand.<br />

The Introspection by Natee Utarit<br />
DR AMA QUEENS<br />
Three theatrical maidens take<br />
the stage this month<br />
THE ART OF SATIRE<br />
From afar, Natee Utarit’s works are reminiscent of classical Western art. But upon closer look,<br />
the Thai artist’s masterpieces, which blur the line between photography and painting, are<br />
as modern as it gets—and coded with wide-ranging metaphors that address the satire of<br />
capitalism and its effects on local traditions. Co-presented by The Private Museum and Richard<br />
Koh Fine Art, “Optimism is Ridiculous: The Altarpieces” is his latest exhibition that channels<br />
the divine, the dead and the dictators in diverse ways, painted with the palette, contrast and<br />
finesse of a Renaissance artist. What makes this series, which he’s been working on since 2012,<br />
extra unique is that these 12 paintings form seven works of art—multiple panels that form a<br />
diptych, triptych or polytych that conjure up images of a grand house both haunted and holy.<br />
From now till 11 March at The Private Museum<br />
EVITA<br />
The iconic Broadway production, Evita,<br />
is here to tell a rags-to-riches story of a<br />
different kind revolving around Eva Perón,<br />
wife of former Argentine dictator Juan Perón<br />
and the woman touted as the “spiritual<br />
leader of the nation” by the Argentinians.<br />

Hues: The Power of Red and Gold”, an exhibition at Opera Gallery <strong>Singapore</strong> seeks<br />
to delve into the symbolic interpretations of these shades across cultures from Egypt<br />

Food should always give you deep satisfaction. The act of eating, after<br />
all, is the one thing you do daily that can connect and<br />
pleasure all your senses at once. At Wakanui at<br />
Marina One (which is the famed Tokyo restaurant’s<br />
first overseas outpost), the Ocean Beef, a thick,<br />
succulent bone-in rib-eye, will conjure up sighs of<br />
pure ecstasy. Their fine cuts burst with smoky, meaty<br />
juiciness from being grilled over Binchotan charcoal.<br />
Also chock-full of umami goodness are Neon<br />
Pigeon’s Bar Bites: Think Tonkatsu Po Boy, a shrimp<br />
and pork chop burger slicked with spicy miso paste;<br />
seaweed tempura topped with luscious brie and<br />
wasabi; and creamy cauliflower and bacon croquettes. On the local spice front, nothing turns up<br />
the heat quite like chilli padi, which stars alongside other Asian aromatics in Sky22’s fusion dishes<br />
at Courtyard by Marriott <strong>Singapore</strong> Novena. We are talking elevated favourites, like Tiger Prawn<br />
Laksa Lemak that’s brimming with slippery noodles and seafood in a rich, spicy, coconut-y broth.<br />
Also getting the grand crustacean treatment is The Green Oven at Andaz <strong>Singapore</strong>, where hearty<br />
mac and cheese—with varying flavours of sharp, buttery and piquant—is baked to gooey perfection<br />
with sweet lobster chunks. Fancy something lighter? There are plump s callops grilled over an open fire at<br />
the hotel’s Smoke & Pepper restaurant to devour too.<br />

Hamburg’s new Elbphilharmonie concert hall was transformed<br />
into the ultimate vision of loveliness when Karl Lagerfeld showed<br />
Chanel’s annual Métiers d’Art collection to the soothing strains of<br />
“La Paloma”. Paying tribute to the famous German port—which<br />
also happens to be Lagerfeld’s hometown—the designer put forth<br />
a 76-strong seafaring collection with “sailors” who walked past<br />
rows of seated guests in cashmere caps wrapped around with tulle,<br />
hands swathed in fingerless gloves and legs wrapped in long knitted<br />
socks and heeled brogues. The collection itself was a fusion of three<br />
elements: Images of the Hamburg port, gliding silhouettes of the<br />
merchant navy crew and the inimitable savoir-faire of Chanel’s<br />
Metiers d’Art ateliers. Later that night, guests proceeded to<br />
a go-down that was a recreation of a typical shipyard, where<br />
sailors serenaded guests, including faces of the brand such as<br />
Tilda Swinton and Kristen Stewart, while tattoo artists<br />
made their mark on merrymakers through the night.<br />

Have faith in the fact that you and<br />
a partner or team of like-minded<br />
individuals can make a success of an<br />
innovative and somewhat daring idea.<br />
True, there will be times when you<br />
wonder whether you’re being<br />
over-ambitious. But you must persist,<br />
if only to prove to yourself and others<br />
that you’re not a quitter.<br />
An ambition close to your heart has been<br />
eclipsed by responsibilities you cannot ignore.<br />
That’s fine, but perhaps you now need to<br />
revisit your original idea to see whether<br />
it can be revived. These days, you’re in<br />
a much better position to make it work to<br />
your advantage and enjoy every minute of it.<br />
SCORPIO<br />
24 OCTOBER – 22 NOVEMBER<br />
A means of indulging yourself and<br />
someone special will appeal enormously.<br />
Just be sure to resist a tendency to spend<br />
far more than you can afford in the<br />
process. By 17 <strong>February</strong>, when Mars<br />
confronts Neptune, planet of fantasy,<br />
you’ll be given a stern reminder that<br />
money doesn’t grow on trees.<br />
Avoid excessiveness at all costs.<br />
TAURUS<br />
21 APRIL – 21 MAY<br />
Frustrating though it may be, you<br />
should rethink your career path or<br />
an area of responsibility that’s losing<br />
its appeal. In mid-<strong>February</strong>, a solar<br />
eclipse will illuminate territory in<br />
which you can make a valuable<br />
contribution. Don’t be<br />
discouraged by naysayers or<br />
those who have always been<br />
rather jealous of you.<br />
GEMINI<br />
22 MAY – 21 JUNE<br />
Much as you might like to<br />
think long and hard about<br />
an idea you intend to pursue,<br />
you’ll soon be under pressure<br />
to make a start. You have the time<br />
and the resources required to<br />
make a good job of it. But if you<br />
procrastinate any longer, you’ll end<br />
up jeopardising the entire plan.<br />
CANCER<br />
22 JUNE – 23 JULY<br />
Sharing responsibilities and<br />
rewards with others often works well<br />
as far as you’re concerned. But when<br />
one particular person takes the lead,<br />
expecting everyone else to go along<br />
with it, don’t be afraid to object—<br />
loudly. You’re being given<br />
a chance to show what you’re<br />
made of when threatened with<br />
being taken for granted.<br />
LEO<br />
24 JUNE – 23 AUGUST<br />
You’ve hoped that a difficult aspect<br />
of a close relationship would solve<br />
itself. However, you’re about to accept<br />
that this isn’t going to happen. You’ve<br />
nothing to lose and everything to gain<br />
by voicing your concerns to the other<br />
person involved and initiating a candid<br />
discussion, no matter how painful or<br />
dangerous it might seem.<br />
VIRGO<br />
24 AUGUST – 23 SEPTEMBER<br />
Confronting partnership issues<br />
may not be easy, but it must be<br />
done. The best time to speak up,<br />
politely and intelligently, is between<br />
10 and 18 <strong>February</strong>, a period<br />
during which Venus, Mercury and<br />
the Sun all enter the relationships<br />
section of your chart. Your chances<br />
of achieving what you want<br />
will greatly improve.<br />
LIBRA<br />
24 SEPTEMBER – 23 OCTOBER<br />
Some areas of responsibility<br />
may seem overwhelming.<br />
Instead of being afraid to take them<br />
on, tell yourself you can manage<br />
them and achieve good outcomes.<br />
Many of the people around you rely<br />
on you and respect you for all that<br />
you do. It’s a lot to live up to<br />
but it won’t defeat you.<br />
SAGITTARIUS<br />
23 NOVEMBER – 21 DECEMBER<br />
Having neglected facets of your<br />
home and family life, you’ll want<br />
to make amends. It’s important<br />
not to promise yourself and others<br />
that everything will be put right<br />
overnight. Take a long view and<br />
plan carefully for a slow, effective<br />
return to normal. Your new-found<br />
commitment mustn’t be seen<br />
as a flash in the pan.<br />
CAPRICORN<br />
22 DECEMBER - 20 JANUARY<br />
It’s tempting to ignore an instinct<br />
warning you that a financial or<br />
work-related arrangement isn’t totally<br />
secure. But unless you act soon, you’ll<br />
receive a sharp wake-up call from<br />
those losing patience with you for<br />
refusing to face facts. It won’t take<br />
much to put the situation right but<br />
any further delay could be catastrophic.<br />
