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 />

From top:<br />

spring/summer<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 />

For her debut<br />

collection for Chloé,<br />

Natacha Ramsay-Levi<br />

sent billowy dresses and<br />

with the confident stomp of<br />

in python-printed calfskin, the<br />

distinctive Rylee boots are grounded by<br />

thick leather and rubber heels of a<br />

comfortable height, and its silhouette narrows<br />

towards the toes for a lengthening effect—<br />

resulting in a pair of boots that belong on<br />

any must-have list. The boots seamlessly<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 />

Dapper Dan<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 />

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 />

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 />

Now,I come from a work environment where the<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 />

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 />

Complexion Prep<br />

Priming Spray, which<br />

gives skin a moisture<br />

boost so makeup stays<br />

harmful particles out. Devised to<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 />

now further harness the benefits<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 />

the transformative energy of acoustic<br />

waves deep into the skin to firm<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

But, besides passion and fortune, does one ever wonder about<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 />

and Europe, to the Far East and Africa—like Togolese artist, Kossi Aguessy’s I-Doll,<br />

The Earth sculpture, which is a prosperous-looking depiction of Mother Nature in<br />

the spot and keep you yearning for more<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 />
