» Adding a touch of Thai service and hospitality can make many things in life better -- in this case, it's the newly launched Thai Hammam at Amatara Resort & Wellness in Phuket.

» This is definitely a big hooray for the financially-challenged. Clothing giant Uniqlo's bread and butter of Lifewear, is redefined through a designer lens, with a couple of collections offering distinct characteristics that suit different lifestyles this season. These pieces continue to be functional, but look a lot more fashion-conscious by enlisting big and influential names from the stylish circle to work their sartorial magic.
Colour me bad

» John C. Jay draws you in like a magnet. Nothing short of being a marketing legend, the Chinese-American adman also comes across as a winsome person. When you hear him say that he's known to "stretch the boundaries of the brand, but not break it", he doesn't come across as bragging. Jay gives us the stretched out hand gesture equivalent too, to match his vibrant personality.
Tailored eyewear

» When you sell glasses that don't use a single screw -- that can be sat on, bent and even left under the sun for hours in awkward angles and not break -- the product clearly speaks for itself. In fact, Berlin-based eyewear company Mykita is so refreshingly free from marketing gloss that their spring summer campaign for 2016 simply uses the founder's friend's daughter, his dog and his dog-sitter as models.

» Hopefully, you've got an outfit ready because Elle/Elle Men Fashion Week kicks off tonight at Central Embassy. Throw on as many layers as you like, even break out the boots because gone is the legendary white tent -- this season the event is held on the sixth floor of this hi-so mall, complete with blessed blasts of air-con.
A knack for quality

» As if 40 years of making first-class clothing isn't enough, Giorgio Armani has diversified his business into other industries since the 80s. Food, bars, furniture, hotels, chocolate, cosmetics, flowers -- you name it and it probably exists as an Armani industry. Just as impressive is the fact that the whole world of Armani is still owned and run by Giorgio Armani himself, unlike many brands today that have been swallowed into mega-giant corporations. Across the years, the very term Armani has become synonymous with a luxurious perfection of sorts. This is reflected in all their products, from perfume to real-estate holdings, restaurants to orchids.
The world of Armani
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 17/03/2016
» Armani's Spring/Summer collection is all shades of this year's colours. There are soft pastels that run along the lines of Pantone's Rose Quartz and Serenity that tread lightly -- but there are also hot, bold hues of red and blue to really bring out a vibrant summer spirit. Be it the polished Giorgio Armani or the more fashion-concerned Emporio Armani, a lot of embroidery and see-through are the main kicks for this season.
Look who's popped up — it's LV

» For the very first time in Bangkok, a Louis Vuitton pop-up store has landed in front of their shop in Siam Paragon’s Hall of Fame. Although shaped like a sleek cave filled with a selection of pieces from the menswear spring/summer 2016 collection, the blue, tunnel-like aesthetic is actually modelled to look like a large, silk blanket draping over the store — blankets being something LV men’s artistic director Kim Jones is known to pioneer. To date, the scale of this pop-up is by far one of the largest to have ever opened in Southeast Asia and will be leaving our posh retail artery after Sunday.
