The shift into autumn always brings the same styling dilemma: it's not quite cold enough to retire the resortwear, but the head-to-toe summer looks need a slightly more grounded update. WISKII's latest drop threads that needle well — pieces built for movement that also happen to transition cleanly from a court session into an actual afternoon out. Here are five we're adding to cart this season. 1. Printed High-Rise Pleated Skirt There's a reason the pleated tennis skirt refus

HONG KONG We visited PRIVATE i SALON's Central Building location last year for a balayage refresh, and it left enough of an impression that there was never really a question of where to go when it came time for another round. This time, though, the starting point was rougher: months of growth had left my roots extremely overgrown, and the length itself had gone dry and brittle — the kind of texture that makes you nervous about adding more colour on top rather than excited abo

HONG KONG The best summer spreads aren't cooked, they're assembled — a good cheese, something cured, something sweet, something cold to drink, and just enough forethought to make it all look easy. This edit pulls together the pantry, fridge and freezer staples doing the heavy lifting at every picnic blanket and backyard table this season, sourced from the kombucha brewers, cheesemongers, butchers and grocers who've made stocking up the fun part. Mix, match, and don't overthin

Summer doesn't ask for much — a good dress, a way to protect your hair from the sun you're chasing, and a skincare routine that can keep up with sweat, salt water, and the occasional overnight flight. This year's edit leans into that simplicity: breezy silhouettes in powder blue and black-and-white, hoops and hammered gold that do the talking, and a haircare-meets-skincare lineup built for humidity, chlorine, and everything else the season throws at you. My Mum Made It: Cheri

HONG KONG Andrew Lloyd Webber's CATS — one of the most successful and enduring musicals in theatrical history — is returning to Hong Kong this summer, with performances opening 6 August 2026 at the Grand Theatre, Xiqu Centre, in the West Kowloon Cultural District. The production is presented by Season Entertainment, GWB Entertainment, and SMG Live, by arrangement with LW Entertainment, and marks the show's first Hong Kong appearance since 2018. Composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber

There's a particular kind of confidence that comes with decades of iconography. Marshall has always known that its home speakers don't just need to sound good — they need to look like they belong on a stage. The Acton has long been the entry point into that world: compact enough to fit on a bookshelf, powerful enough to make you forget you're not at a gig. With the Acton IV, Marshall isn't reinventing the formula. It's refining it — and in doing so, it's produced what may be

HONG KONG The JW Marriott Hotel Hong Kong has long stood as one of its most enduring symbols of five-star hospitality. Opened on 27 February 1989, it holds the distinction of being the first Marriott International property in the entire Asia-Pacific region — a milestone that speaks volumes about both Hong Kong's global stature and the brand's confidence in this storied metropolis.

Stanley has spent a century building things that don't break. Now it's building things you won't want to put down — and this golf-world collab is proof the brand's cultural instincts are sharper than ever. There is a peculiar alchemy at work when a brand that made its name on indestructible steel thermoses decides to enter the soft-goods cooler market. Stanley, which has been outfitting durable-goods enthusiasts since 1913, has in recent years become something far more compli

HONG KONG Mother’s Day has a charming habit of creeping up on even the most organised among us. And while a bunch of flowers and a last-minute card will certainly do in a pinch, why not aim a little higher this year? Whether your mother is a jewellery enthusiast, a wellness devotee, or someone who believes the best gift is a long, lazy brunch with some good company, we have curated a selection of gifts and experiences that truly celebrates her. Wiskii Active – Riviera Floral

HONG KONG There are few weekends in Hong Kong that carry quite the same kinetic energy as the Hong Kong Sevens — that annual collision of sport, spectacle and citywide revelry. This April, just moments from the action at Kai Tak, Dorsett Kai Tak once again steps into the spotlight with the return of its Wine & Dine Village, running from April 17-19, 2026. Set on the hotel’s ground floor, the alfresco concept feels like a well-travelled marketplace — open, energetic and delibe

HONG KONG There’s a particular kind of magic to vinyl — unhurried, a little imperfect, and far more personal than anything a playlist algorithm can conjure. This April, The Peninsula Hong Kong leans into that mood with the launch of its Analogue Record Series at Felix at The Peninsula Hong Kong — a weekly Thursday night affair that feels equal parts listening party and low-lit social ritual. Taking place every Thursday from 8:00 pm to 11:00 pm, the Philippe Starck-designed sp

HONG KONG In a city long synonymous with neon-lit whisky bars and rooftop Champagne rituals, Hong Kong’s drinking culture has quietly undergone a craft revolution. Beyond the imported labels that dominate hotel backbars, a new generation of homegrown producers is distilling, brewing and blending spirits that speak fluently in the language of the city itself: inventive, international and exciting. From small-batch gins infused with local botanicals to playful ready-to-drink co

HONG KONG Hong Kong’s high society has long been a source of fascination — its yacht parties, charity galas, and horse races offering a glimpse into a world of old money and new ambition. This summer, that world takes center stage in The Season, PCCW Media’s premium drama series that promises to be equal parts dazzling and dangerous. Produced in partnership with SK Global (Crazy Rich Asians, Delhi Crime), the six-part saga will premiere globally in June 2026. What Is The Seas

AMSTERDAM From its golden-age merchant houses to cobbled streets lined with cafés, Amsterdam combines history, artistry, and a wry sense of humour that seems stitched into the very bricks of the city.

HONG KONG Long, lifted lashes have become a modern beauty staple — less about drama, more about looking effortlessly put-together. In Hong Kong, where humidity, long workdays and social calendars demand low-maintenance beauty solutions, lash treatments have surged in popularity. From barely-there enhancements to full glamour sets, today’s lash services are as nuanced as they are transformative. Whether you’re lash-curious or a seasoned regular, this guide breaks down the most

Everyone seems to be offering bespoke items and services lately. This trend is prevalent across industries, including jewellery, real estate, clothing lines, and furniture. However, when it comes to authenticity, not everyone can deliver. A recent PwC survey found that around 30 percent of users claim to have stopped buying from a brand due to a subpar customer experience. It is hardly a surprise, as 70 percent of executives complain that customer expectations are evolving m

After years of keeping his private life largely off-limits, Formula One star Lando Norris has been linked to Portuguese model and actress Margarida Corceiro since 2023. The pair were first spotted together in Monaco, where Norris lives, sparking widespread speculation among fans and F1 insiders. While neither confirmed the relationship at the time, multiple public appearances soon followed, placing Corceiro firmly in Norris’s inner circle. When Did Lando Norris and Margarida
