Just for You
In celebration of Chinese New Year, Swedish high-street giant H&M has launched a capsule collection with lots of red, of course. We’re digging the oversized knits and edgy printed skinny pants, plus the stylish accessories to amp up your outfit ($17.90 upwards). For the boys, get your shirts custom-made at men’s shirt bar Marcella. The local label, also the first to utilize clever software that automatically translates your measurements into precisely-drafted shirt patterns, offers more than 125 fabrics for various styles, plus prices are incredibly affordable—$59 upwards for basic shirts and $89 upwards for premium options. Even better, create your fit profile and get your tailored pieces online if you’re too time-starved to head down to the boutique.

Rising Seas
Local jewelry designer Elaine Tan is back in the game after an eight-month-long hiatus, with a new and socially conscious identity for her label Amado Gudek. Titled Sea Invaders, the latest collection, made with ethically sourced, hand-painted corals, eco-friendly bioresin and geometrically cut gold-colored metals, features chunky, statement-making necklaces, earrings and rings with a whimsical, offbeat feel ($89 upwards).

Encore, Encore
Speaking of returns, the folks behind multi-label store Workshop Element have brought it back for a second edition, this time at Jurong East’s latest shopping mall Westgate. At 6,000 sq. ft., the pared-down, warehouse-like space is bigger than its former Wisma Atria outlet and houses 19 established and emerging local labels including Depression, Mu, A.W.O.L, Jaunty Boys, Revasseur and Coupe-Cousu. Lease is supposedly up next month (though an extension is in the pipeline), so pop along before it pops off.
