Maximal impact Perhaps it’s the feeling of a world beginning to reopen that gave fashion labels the impetus to let the imagination go buck wild.

This year’s Art Basel Hong Kong was cancelled, part of a sorry trend that has seen the suspension of art fairs, exhibitions and events all over the world. Together these cancellations have left the future of the global art market uncertain. Why art galleries won’t survive after coronavirus – unless they adapt Despite its standing as the third biggest market in the world, chances... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/news-trends/article/3099591/millennial-money-and-virtual-technologies-fuelled-new?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/news-trends/article/3099591/millennial-money-and-virtual-technologies-fuelled-new?utm_source=rss_feed Tue, 01 Sep 2020 00:00:17 +0000 K-pop star Sunmi turns 28 on May 2, but with South Korea’s social distancing measures extended until May 5 due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the celebration will probably remain indoors. Fans are curious about what their queen has been up recently since they haven’t seen her on television since September 2019. Sunmi debuted as a singer with Wonder Girls in 2007. After three years, she took a break from the entertainment industry for the academic world. When she returned to the industry three years... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/celebrity/article/3082136/6-things-know-about-sunmi-k-pop-queen-who-hasnt-been-seen?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/celebrity/article/3082136/6-things-know-about-sunmi-k-pop-queen-who-hasnt-been-seen?utm_source=rss_feed Wed, 29 Apr 2020 10:00:19 +0000 It’s hard to imagine what contemporary fashion would look like without the chic comfort of athleisure. With fitness so integrated to the modern lifestyle, who would know better about the kinds of cuts, silhouettes and fabrics that can help enhance one’s performance in daily life, than athletes? Their gruelling physical training already gives them a deeper understanding of the human body. With the access to designers, brands and stylists that their well-earned celebrity status affords them, these... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/news-trends/article/3079065/serena-williams-david-beckham-and-3-other-superstar?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/news-trends/article/3079065/serena-williams-david-beckham-and-3-other-superstar?utm_source=rss_feed Thu, 09 Apr 2020 00:00:29 +0000 It’s a running joke among the fans who call themselves the BTS Army that RM and Jin aren’t great dancers – but anyone who has watched a music video or live performance by the K-pop supergroup can attest that none of the guys are a slouch when it comes to moving and grooving. Synchronised, intricate, precise and dynamic, the septet’s dancing is integral to their charm, part of the unique way they tell the story behind every song. J-Hope, Jimin and Jungkook, the certified hoofers in the team,... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/news-trends/article/3074297/bts-dance-routines-who-are-genius-choreographers-behind?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/news-trends/article/3074297/bts-dance-routines-who-are-genius-choreographers-behind?utm_source=rss_feed Tue, 10 Mar 2020 01:00:15 +0000 When hit sci-fi series Altered Carbon’s second season dropped on Netflix without its original lead Joel Kinnaman, the inevitable comparisons between him and season two star Anthony Mackie went into overdrive. Of course, it’s totally plausible for lead character Takeshi Kovacs to be played by different actors, given the available technology in the Altered Carbon universe that allows people to inhabit new “sleeves” or bodies through the cortical stack, a disc-shaped device that contains a... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/celebrity/article/3073966/joel-kinnaman-or-anthony-mackie-which-actor-plays-takeshi?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/celebrity/article/3073966/joel-kinnaman-or-anthony-mackie-which-actor-plays-takeshi?utm_source=rss_feed Sun, 08 Mar 2020 22:00:13 +0000 If you’re a RuPaul’s Drag Race fan, you probably know to start your engines again real soon, because the groundbreaking, award-winning reality competition TV series will drop its 12th season on February 28.

For the longest time, myths of witches and supernatural creatures kept people away, but today its white beaches, caves and hidden waterfalls make the small island one of the Philippines’ must-visit provinces. On any given day, some 300 visitors make the careful walk down 135 steep, slippery stone steps from Siquijor Circumferential Road to... https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/travel-leisure/article/3050475/how-siquijor-went-haunted-corrupt-philippine-island?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/travel-leisure/article/3050475/how-siquijor-went-haunted-corrupt-philippine-island?utm_source=rss_feed Mon, 17 Feb 2020 09:30:06 +0000 Everyone wants a piece of BTS, and it’s not just the fan Army.

Exorcism. Psychedelics. Cold therapy. Psychic mediums. Orgasms. Netflix’s new series the goop lab with Gwyneth Paltrow promises to deliver all of these, with the trailer presenting a montage of folks trying out wellness ideas that “may seem out there or too scary”. It’s par for the course when it comes to Paltrow and her “conversation-changing” brand goop.

That puts them right on par with companies such as Samsung and Hyundai. With such a massive fan base and a record-breaking media presence – plus the supergroup’s frequent interactions with the millions-strong fan “Army” on social media – not a lot remains hidden about the lives of the... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/celebrity/article/3043240/bts-rm-5-reasons-why-boy-band-leader-most-fascinating?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/celebrity/article/3043240/bts-rm-5-reasons-why-boy-band-leader-most-fascinating?utm_source=rss_feed Tue, 24 Dec 2019 18:00:11 +0000
