» The Sirivannavari label keeps tallying up more and more with every collection. Last year it was denim. This year sees the debut of S'Homme, the brand's first foray into menswear -- which also meant a much larger male audience and men's magazine presence at the fashion show last Wednesday. HRH Princess Sirivannavari Nariratana's eponymous fashion brand returned to its old stomping ground at Siam Paragon with the familiar stage and orchestra.
Wanna Siwilai and chill?

» The feel and facade of Central Embassy changes more often than the girlfriends of a fickle playboy, but that's OK, because Bangkok's an easily-bored crowd anyway. Give us some new razzle-dazzle to gab about every month and we're good. All the cool peeps are talking about it, so if you haven't been to the latest skyline hangout, which celebrated its grand opening at the luxury mall last week, here's what's up about Siwilai City Club.
Hottest splurging meccas for fashion?

» When shopaholics of the world plan a splurging spree, Kuwait is seldom the first country that comes to mind. It's not the sort of place that registers on the world consciousness, fashion-wise, the way France or Japan does, but this Gulf country, with its population of roughly 4 million, has been home to the hottest names long before Bangkok has -- despite its religious limitations and seemingly sleepy landscape with an even sandier backdrop. While hardly being tourism-amped as a shopping mecca, it does just as well as such much-more-buzzed-about Middle Eastern counterparts as Dubai. So much is the demand for fashion there that two Thai designer brands, Tawn C. and S'uvimol, have set their sights on this lucrative market and celebrate official launches in Kuwait City this season.

The scarlet letter

» The iconic pansy patterns return to Finnish fashion and lifestyle brand Marimekko in deep, scarlet shades that are perfect for this weekend. Pick up their Mini Unikko crossbody bag or mug if you're a fan of this graphic flower -- the colour combo is a lot nicer than last season's olive green and orange. Their ready-to-wear collection also has a handful of bold but easy to mix-and-match pieces that bring back the Adam & Eve and Galleria prints. The Orla shirt is a casual pick that would look great with jeans, while the pieces in Adam print are relaxed yet dressy enough for any celebration.
Tread in (palatable) red

» To be honest, we're on grey ground right now as to how red your outfit should be for this Chinese New Year. Wear bright red and it may raise a few eyebrows among the serious mourners, but wearing black and white is also a no-no for the belief of bringing bad luck to the household on this auspicious day.
A hands-on experience

» Clearly, there would be quite a fuss when a legend gets an upgrade. That's exactly what the Leica M10 is. Launched last week at the Leica headquarters in Wetzlar, Germany, it is handmade in Germany or Portugal, and available on our shores for 256,000 baht.

Riding high in the simulated Wild West

» Looking all parts American perfection and stomaching spicy dishes surprisingly well (according to his bodyguard) for a first-timer in Singapore, James Marsden was in the Lion City last week to promote the season finale of HBO's Westworld. As the human equivalent of goodness and sunshine, it becomes apparent that the Hollywood dreamboat is fittingly well-known for his nice-guy roles (in X-Men, The Notebook, Enchanted, Hairspray) because he is also such a person in real life. In fact, it all feels satisfyingly in-character when the 43-year-old admits that he loves Frank Capra movies and that the violence in Westworld isn't gratuitous.
Seal your memories

» With the recent passing of King Bhumibol Adulyadej, various printing houses have toiled to produce beautiful articles, keepsakes and tributes to the revered monarch. During the past two months, newspapers featured extensive coverage, as well as historical pictures of the late king, some of which were rare and hard to find. Such publications have (thankfully) brought back interest to printed word and has set a flourish of readers eager to get their hands on whatever the press reels out. A picture is, after all, worth a thousand words.
