The virtuous one

» Liam Cunningham is quite a funny bunny -- a stark opposite of the character he is best known for portraying: Game Of Thrones' dependably virtuous knight, Ser Davos Seaworth. While in Bangkok earlier this month, he unflinchingly munched the head off fried insects at the street stall and gleefully admitted to nicking tiny props from the set every year, be it the small wooden stag or coins from Braavos. He asks the props man first of course, and most of it ends up on his daughter's "wall of awesome" in her bedroom.

» The marriage between Kate Spade New York and Beyond Yoga first took place in January 2016. Good news for the girly yoga practitioners, because now, the limited-edition athleisure collaboration between the two brands has officially reached our shores. Not all colour ranges are available in the stores right now as compared to the US (sobs), but there's still a good mix of solid pieces, colour-blocking patterns and flower-printed designs to choose from.

Rebecca Minkoff lands in Chidlom

» Giving the Boho girls a decent but affordable handbag since 2009, Rebecca Minkoff is a New York import the college kids are sure to love. Recently arriving on our shores in the department store of Central Chidlom, this accessible luxury brand is your go-to for leather handbags and accessories that flaunt no brand name and conspicuous monograms. The fashion flock knows how to spot a Rebecca Minkoff bag a mile away though: it's all in the hardware. Look for the latch that is usually positioned in the centre of the bag -- clearly serving no practical purpose, but looks darn nice and edgy. The brand has also been presenting embellished straps for a couple of years now -- a trend other bag houses have only recently copied. This is the perfect solution if you can't quite part with your old bag but are equally bored with it: just spice it up with a new strap.
Beyond basics

» The irony of basic clothes is they are extremely difficult to design despite a seemingly simplistic cut. If coming from the higher spectrum of fashion with a steeper price tag, it most definitely must transcend the typical to offer more than what the naked eye can see. A handful of basic authorities are elevating their designs to up their game and giving their starry-eyed fans something to get excited about. We turn the spotlight to Calvin Klein, Uniqlo and Theory to dissect their upcoming plans and current collections.
Smartphone catwalk

» Fashion and technology are meshing to become applications on your smartphone, but most on the market are still painfully rudimentary and extremely laggy. In truth, many are made for the main purpose of making their merchandise available only a click away, but a few we've tried out offer something beyond an online store.
Forget historical accuracy, this is all about Hrithik's abs

» This obviously isn't going to win any Academy Award nominations. Director Ashutosh Gowariker may have been lauded for his taxing period drama Lagaan, which earned a nomination for the Oscar's Best Foreign Language Film in 2002, but his latest film, Mohenjo Daro, is a clichéd period epic that offers a confused peek into the past of a place that is now a Unesco World Heritage site. I mean, if you want "exotic" costumes, epic sets and a hero-unknowingly-related-to-this-city plot, this is just the thing.

Dress for summer

» 'It's always going to be summer somewhere in the world," Juliana Affonso Ferreira says optimistically. What the blonde half of the Brazilian fashion brand Isolda means is that there will always be a place and time for those who want to be dressed in her brand's tropic-appropriate, flowery numbers. Along with childhood friend and co-founder Maya Pop, both of whom were in ravishing dresses with exotic flowers, Ferreira was in Bangkok for the first time last week to visit the Isolda corner at the Beige multi-label store in Siam Paragon.
