Prestige Singapore Magazine - February 2023

In this issue

This month, a host of dauntless personalities show us the way to breaching new frontiers. Trained in public policy, our cover personality Grace Chong-Tan takes us on her journey of transforming her dentist husband Rex Tan’s practice into an empire and jumping aboard the hospitality wagon as a hotelier in Hokkaido. This same chutzpah is demonstrated by visionaries across various luxury sectors – from Audi AG’s Hildegard Wortmann to Bulgari’s Fabrizio Buonamassa Stigliani to interior designer Jonathan Rachman. Other forward-looking brands are also reinventing the future, as you’d discover in our report on this year’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. On the fashion front, there is all manner of creative, most unexpected collaborations. Our fashion spread, meanwhile, highlights Spring 23 menswear trends that signal the return of the “bad boy” era of the ’80s and ’90s. The realm of watches and jewels is a mighty playground of innovation, so feast your eyes on high-tech rainbow-coloured watches, Bulgari’s Serpenti tubogas, and Van Cleef & Arpels’ secret watches inspired by romance. Indeed, the most passionate month is right upon us. We tell you which gemstones will inspire epic love, what gifts to buy, which cosy restaurants to sidle up at with your other half, what beauty treatments to indulge in for some self-care, and which resorts to book for couple-time disguised as child-friendly vacations.
