» In a neighbourhood where gold shop signs glow and street food carts putter past century-old shophouses, Louis Vuitton has checked in. Outside five connecting shophouses and its white, balconied façade, flags spangled with the brand's LV logo flutter alongside the glow of an elegantly lit Louis Vuitton Hotel Bangkok sign.

» The hotel founding family's fingerprints are all over the Aman Nai Lert Bangkok. Quite literally. But it's done so in the most magnificent and tasteful way possible. Before arriving at their suites, guests must pass a double-floored atrium, fitted with a stillwater black pool and white boulder oasis that ticks all the boxes of a Zen rock and sand garden. Towering over this peaceful cocoon are discreet but impressive plaster panels textured with curving stripes. These are not sand dune lines, but Thanphuying Lursakdi Sampatisiri's enlarged fingerprints -- a tribute to the hotel founder's grandmother and forward-thinking matriarch that has shaped Bangkok's Nai Lert Park today.

» Befitting the impressive scale and presentation that gallery ATT19 can always conjure, their current exhibition "An Orchard In A Box" is a showcase that brings together two of the buzziest names in Thailand's creative industry together. Multi-disciplinary design studio Vinn Patararin and Thai artist Phannapast "Yoon" Taychamaythakool have joined forces to create a visually-stunning showcase -- one that is filled with paintings, live art and digital projections to outfits with pop-up shoulders shaped like strawberries.

» Evoking the colours of an Italian sunset, a lush display of flowers that deck the Author's Lounge at Mandarin Oriental set the stage for Bulgari's first event of the year in Thailand. This trunk showcased over 100 pieces of extraordinary high jewellery pieces from various collections, 20 of which were exclusive one-of-a-kind. A handful of timepieces for gents were on display too, and the brand's full-scale presentation is an indication that the Roman jeweller is doing well and emerging from the pandemic in strength.
A brush of talent

» "The first thing that happens when I enter a meeting room is we all laugh and this is before we have even started talking about work yet," Seatapron "Bell" Korwanichakul says of the lovely clients he has been fortunate enough to work with. It should come as no surprise that this amicable artist, better known as Painterbell, is the person behind the wildly loveable and joyful characters John and Lulu. Seatapron first started drawing a blond-haired, French-looking boy and girl for fun five years ago for his Instagram account. Slowly over time, the cuteness of the sibling duo steadily found their fame, with countless brands, ranging from fashion, furniture, communications to toiletries, who sought his cartoons to add a touch of cheer to their products. Today, John and Lulu, along with their friends and other Christmas characters, are decking out the squares and halls of CentralWorld as well as of other 33 branches of Central across the country.

Titled "The Dreamers", the fall/winter 2020 collection features truly show-stopping ski suits, down jackets, overalls and leggings that are not a mere slapping on of cloud, floral and leopard prints onto skiwear.

» For the first time ever, heel fanatics will be able to buy themselves a pair of Christian Louboutin shoes for approximately 62 baht. That's a crazy good deal, considering how a pair of shoes from this luxury high-end brand should set you back no less than 20,000 baht. The catch, however, is that all this must be done (and worn) in the Korea-based gaming application Zepeto.

» Sebastian Copeland's upcoming plans include making another trip to the North Pole. It's nothing new for the photographer-cum-explorer, but there is an unsettling condition about this journey he is about to make. Not because he is now 54, nor due to the hazardous method he has chosen: walking. The most disturbing factor is that this is probably the last time he can do something like this.
