Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 22/01/2025
» Twenty years young and emerging as an even more sophisticated and inspiring go-to could be one way to describe the current incarnation of Siam Paragon. Extensive renovations that began in early 2024 have transformed the luxury mall into an even more glossy Mecca for high-end brands. But the retail epicentre is also trying to make a visitor's experience better by adding an arena of art that shows pieces by internationally-acclaimed artists from around the world. "We are the pride of Bangkok, and we are moving towards becoming established on the world stage," says Salawit Suviporn, executive vice president, Head of Think Tank at Siam Piwat. "Following Siam Paragon's 'luxury for all' initiative, we understand that everyone's [definition of] luxury is different, so we must cater to every group, age and sex. Art is one thing that binds everything together. The public spaces will showcase art to create wonderful experiences for visitors."

Motion shines in Swarovski's new autumn/winter collection
Life, Published on 26/07/2024
» Swarovski takes on motion and organic movement in its autumn/winter 2024 collection which sees a return to the brand's design DNA with mastery of light and expertise in crystal cutting taking centre stage as designs morph and shift into ultra modern silhouettes of mesmerising beauty. The new collection plays with form, deconstructing and reshaping pieces in unexpected ways to realise new visions of signature Swarovski families, including Millenia, Matrix and Hyperbola. Meanwhile, new collections like Sublima showcase unique stone cuts, cool colours and fluid constructions, combined in wavelike structures ablaze with kinetic energy. Building on the marine inspiration that flowed through the spring/summer 2024 collections, the new season designs merge Swarovski Crystal Pearls and Swarovski Crystals in bold shapes imbued with expressive elegance. Clear stones and rhodium plating herald the arrival of glamour, and exquisitely faceted snowflake motifs welcome the holidays with brilliance. The new Swarovski jewellery collections are available at select stores and online at swarovski.com.
