Everything's coming up Rosewood

» Rosewood is not a name that rings any personal bells, but I first unknowingly came across it while on a night out in Beijing. The so-far-lousy night took a turn when the social editor of a high-society magazine ushered me to get off my stool at the dingy bar we were in. We were first-timers in Beijing and unlike the Western press in the group, she was in no mood for pole dancers and Mandarin rock covers. She was the most well-informed and refined tippler of the Thai group, so we trustingly followed her taste to Rosewood Beijing, knowing whatever it was, it wasn't going to be the Chinese version of Patpong. It was the right decision, the one we should have gone with three hours earlier. What greeted us upon arrival were stunning high ceilings, stylish understatement and immense relief that there are chic and modern places to head to in the post-Mao capital.

New looks, old values

» 'Whatchu lookin' at?" Rattanarat "Ploy" Aurthaveekul might have yelled back to her husband's stare before they leave the house. Her taunting look is, however, followed by a sheepish chuckle, before she adds: "Gosh, this outfit is actually really uncomfortable and kind of revealing too. I guess I should go change." Gone are her fashionably freewheeling days -- her closet now tipping more mother than model. But that's about the most that has changed for this style icon, best known as one half of the modelling/actress twins Petch-Ploy.

» 'When people say sneakers are comfortable, I just don't find them comfortable at all," says shoemaker Christian Louboutin. "I have delicate feet so I cannot wear rubber soles for a long time, otherwise I suffocate. I need leather soles and yes, plastic is soft, but it's almost like it's intoxicating you. But that's personal."
Keep calm and wear pastel

» Say goodbye to masala red because the colour verdict for next spring's fashion (and everything else on the planet) is out. Colour classifier Pantone has announced Rose Quartz and Serenity as 2016's colours of the year. In the award's history of 15 years, this will be a first where two colours are to share the influential title -- it's also a match made in pastel heaven, where a soft warm pink grazes next to its opposite: a soft cool blue.
