The exhibition portrayed the brand’s 125 years of history, from its birth in1894 in London, its close ties to the British Royal Family and its constant innovations over the years to remain relevant. Also on show was “I am Charles”, a hand-made teddy bear a massive 1.5m high.

The “125th DAKS Anniversary Check” collection is centred on the architecture of the Royal Albert Hall in London and underlines the brand’s expertise in design, use of colour, texture, and details, reflecting British elegance. Designs and colours, namely purple, brown, acid green and grey, are inspired gy British writers and their most important works: “The Moon and Sixpence” by William Somerset Maugham, “The Remains of the Day”, written in 1989 by Nobel prize winner Kazuo Ishiguro, and “Pygmalion by George” Bernard Shaw.

The luxury French jewellery and watches brand has given its Chao Phraya riverside boutique a design amelioration, with a local touch of contemporary Thai architecture with the luxury of Cartier.

The design marries elements of Thai architecture based on inspirations drawn from local beliefs and Thai ways of life. “The result is a boutique filled with contemporary Thai ambience and the magnificence of Cartier,” the company said.

The walls of the VIP Room are inspired by wood gasket of traditional house in the Central Region of Thailand. Teak panels are interlocked with each other and therefore the house is built without using any nails. 

Teak wood is here represented by environmentally friendly recycled leather strips woven with recycled polyester yarn from PET bottles collected from beaches in Thailand.

Another highlight wall within the newly redesigned boutique is clad with ornamental braids inspired by fabrics popular in Thailand since Ayutthaya Kingdom during 1350 to 1767 AD. The fabrics woven from precious metal threads such as gold and silver were once only strictly used in court textiles.

In addition to a beautiful blend, this boutique is noted for its furnishing and decorative items. Among them is a cabinet inspired by the gold lacquer book cabinet during the reign of King Mongkut and King Chulalongkorn — a period of Thai modernisation that saw children of the kings educated in Europe and strong relationships built with European countries.

The book cabinet reflects the change and development education brought to the Kingdom during the time and their effects on present day Thailand.

There are also vases inspired by ancient beads, brassware with crumpled gold texture that looks like gilded gold leaves applied by Buddhist Thais on Buddha images, a sculpture that resembles chor fah gable apex, beautiful cut-glass lamps, a replica of old-styled balustrades, lotus-shaped chandeliers, arched doorways inspired by those found in temples, and use of Thai silk as furniture upholstery and wall cladding.

From the exterior, Cartier Boutique at Iconsiam stands out with an external façade inspired by facets of diamond, making an allusion to the brand’s expertise in jewellery which was once admired by King Edward VII of England who announced that Cartier is “the jeweller of kings and the king of jewellers”.

Iconsiam boutique boasts a spacious area of more than 300 square metres and is one of the brand’s first 10 boutiques worldwide to create such décor styles that subtly embrace local architecture.

Founded by Kokichi Mikimoto, who is credited with creating the first cultured pearl, the company has dedicated itself for the last 125 years to realising Mikimoto’s dream of adorning the necks of all women with pearls and making it possible for women all over the world to experience their timeless elegance.

Dilraba, who is heading up the new #FindYourPearl campaign, has a positive personality that embodies the brand’s image. The campaign itself is inspired by the idea of the “Jeux de Rubans” collection – decorative yet luxurious ribbons of pearls transformed into the luxurious and timeless jewellery design. The necklace and earrings from the collection is designed with Japanese Akoya Cultured Pearls and sparkling diamonds, with the ribbon-styled diamond clasp the main feature of the design, allowing for multiple styling.

In the release photo, Dilraba is seen wearing a piece from the Les Pétales Place Vendôme collection.

Standing out in the collection are the figure-flattering evening dresses, starting with the off-the-shoulder floor-length dress in chocolate-brown French velvet, with artful drapery around the waist and a strategically placed thigh slit for a form-fitting look. To top it off, an Italian silk dress in sorbet shades of lychee and orange blossom, featuring a floor-length train, thigh slit, and cascading diamante detailing from the shoulder to the lower back.

The exhibition takes viewers on a journey to explore the history of the house, which was founded in 1837 by Thierry Hermès, following the thread woven by generations of designers and craftspeople from its origins as a harness-maker and saddler to today’s contemporary designs.

The Rouges Hermès exhibition demonstrates that the house’s attachment to this colour through a spectrum of some 20 shades fluctuating from vermilion to magenta and from bright red to soft red. Ever since Émile Hermès, with the help of skilled artisan tanners, developed a process to dye box calf leather, red has been used to colour a whole range of designs.

The exhibition demonstrates this by featuring not only leather goods but also clothing and home accessories, rounding off with a contemporary jewellery cabinet whose mobile, folding mahogany structure in rouge H conceals a wealth of intricate details. From wood to crystal, leather to silk, the harmonious relationships between colour and matter are clearly discernible.

Bruno Gaudichon, curator of La Piscine museum of art and industry in Roubaix (France) and of Rouges Hermès and worked with set designer Laurence Fontaine on a framework that is flexible yet rigorous. Borrowing pieces from the Émile Hermès collection, the house’s archives and the full range of recent designs, the exhibition is divided into five zones loosely connected by a chronological thread that allows visitors to discover the emergence of new variants of red over time. These ultimately form a subtle and delicate palette throughout the exhibition, which illuminates the history of the house.

Maryse Kraatz, The Mall Group’s Retail Development director, said: “What makes Another Story and Another Man Story unique is our selection of brands and products curated to create an enjoyable shopping experience.
