» The luxury bodycare and aroma products all boast very traditional Thai scents like jasmine and lemongrass, but the flagship store they sit in is fashioned like a futuristic science lab -- with circular fluorescent haloes and an awe-inspiring line of glass columns filled with perfume.
Bonjour, Loubi World!

» 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.
Who's for seconds?

» Good things don't last forever. But if we're lucky, they morph into something new that carries with it the spirit of what made the original so great.
Feeling all right

» There is a stillness -- borderline boring -- to Scrubb's chosen mode of visual expression. The constant of stony faces and stock-still poses that embellishes all of the band's album artwork, editorial photo shoots and magazine covers is bequeathed on us too, as Torpong "Ball" Chantabubpha and Thawatpon "Muay" Wongboonsiri laugh through gritted teeth that it is actually a strain for them to smile for the cameras or to assume the role of a dancing monkey.

» MCM is ushering in the Year of the Dog with cheerful handbags that flaunt the bubbly works of Seoul-based Korean artist Eddie Kang. Recognised and celebrated for his cute, contemporary and graphic aesthetics, his signature dog cartoon character, called Loveless, moves from paintings, installations and sculptures to the German leather house’s limited-edition capsule collection of monogram shopper bags and totes.

» Central Embassy has worn many faces. Its positioning has shuffled around from ultra-luxury to hipster to a lifestyle hub, but one thing's for sure. When they've reeled in a world-class model like Kiko Mizuhara as the face of their ad campaign, there's no doubt that it strives to be a world-class destination.
Toast of the town

» Without a doubt, Gulapat "May" Kanokwatanawan is the undisputed queen of desserts. "Can I be the princess of desserts instead?" the petite 34-year-old interrupts. "Queen just sounds so old!"
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.
Refreshingly new

» Iconic it-bags are something of a marketing ploy and if they do well, they usually get tampered with and morph into all sorts of variations in order to reach out to different tastes. Rework the colour, size and texture and the old can easily become new. To change its structure and shape though, is a little more dicey (and could end in tears), but this season, some accessories houses have headed that way and with pleasing results.
