» It's something as covetable as a Murakami Speedy handbag or Louis Vuitton Nike Air Force sneakers. Happening from May 8-10, Gaggan at Louis Vuitton has transformed into an exclusive three-day pop-up dining experience where both chef Gaggan Anand and chef Yosuke Suga will be collaborating to whip up a pristine yet playful tasting menu dinner at the fashion brand's fine-dining establishment.

» 'I'd probably just die one day on the job!" is what Sir Paul Smith says when asked if he is ever looking to retire. "Not today I hope, although it is quite comfortable on this sofa. When I retire would be when I feel like I can't contribute to the business any more. But at the moment, I hope and still think I can contribute. Or you can ask Michael [from my team], I'll keep my ears closed."

» Die-hard fans of the Sretsis fashion brand who want a custom wedding dress by the label -- brace yourselves for this cold, hard limitation. Their creative director Pimdao Sukhahuta will only be able to oversee two clients per year to design a brand-new, one-of-a-kind ensemble for special occasions.

» As the Covid-19 pandemic is easing in some places around the world, one city that was among the hardest hit last year is emerging from the desolation in a glittering manner. Earlier this month, Italian jeweller Bvlgari unveiled their latest high jewellery collection Magnifica in Milan, in a spectacular manner nothing short of high-octane lavishness.

» The thing about the Sretsis fashion brand is that they are not only lauded for their clothes but also for magnificent retail spaces that make a trip to their stores a dreamy visit to the galaxy of Victorian fairy tales, among other fanciful backdrops. As the brand's universe has creatively widened in the past few years, the name has grown to encompass food and beverage (a fine tea parlour), home décor (wallpaper with fantastical beasts) and dining ware (ceramic unicorn candle holders). Earlier this month, the three Sukhahuta sisters unveiled a home -- completely fashioned in the Sretsis style -- for anyone who wants to live in the whimsical flair the brand is so well known for.

» When House of Fritz Hansen in Soi Somkid first came to life in 2017, the white house from the 1950s it inhabited was polished into a showroom to display how luxury Danish furniture pieces could fit into a Thai home. Sleek and clean minimalism usually comes to mind at the mention of this Scandinavian name -- but the global rebrand that has been set into motion since last year is injecting quite a popping touch of colours, fun and modernity to its overall aesthetics.

» It was a mixed blessing for Norse Republics when they first added the Swiss premium furniture brand, Vitra, to their roster of high-end, design-savvy furnishings back in February. The global pandemic of Covid-19 meant that the official launch to introduce the brand would have to be postponed, while importing was also met with delays due to hindered cargo transportation. However, there couldn't have been a better time for Vitra to announce itself in Thailand, what with working spaces and workflow drastically changing in these past few months.
