Paula’s Choice
There are many ways for us to achieve youthful skin, but the best choice out of all of them, is no doubt, Paula’s Choice. You can now teach your skin how to stay youthful with the new Paula’s Choice Pro-Collagen Multi-Peptide Booster! The new booster harnesses the newly researched peptide technology to target key proteins in skin’s extracellular matrix to support collagen and elastin production.
This cutting-edge serum is formulated with pro-collagen peptides, hyaluronic acid, and amino acids to nourish, firm, and support facial architecture. It visibly lifts, firms, and smooths wrinkles in as little as 15 minutes with restructuring peptides that deliver long-lasting results. It also softens the appearance of expression lines and targets essential structural features for a more youthful appearance and feel.

Y’s x G–SHOCK
Marking its 50th Anniversary, Y’s, the very first brand launched by world-renowned designer Yohji Yamamoto, will be collaborating with Casio G-SHOCK for the new GM-S5600YS-1.
Yohji Yamamoto’s philosophy of “conquering fashion through antithesis” results in works that stand the test of time, challenge taboos, and present radical conviction. He envisioned Y’s as a brand focused on the usefulness of everyday wear, which is why the new GM-S5600YS-1 cooperation model comes in two designs. It has a metal bezel, a resin band, and an extra custom-made cloth band that can be simply swapped to suit the mood and style of the day, as well as a cover to protect the watch face.
Available now on the Casio E-Commerce website and G–SHOCK Store @Lalaport, Kuala Lumpur from 12th April 2023 onwards, this new GM-S5600YS-1 will be retailing at RM1,395.

CIGA Design
CIGA Design, the award-winning Chinese watch maker, has released the new Gilding edition of their famed Blue Planet series. It’s the same collection that took home the prestigious Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG) in 2019, and it includes the world’s first non-synchronous trailing technology.
The new Blue Planet Gilding edition, made completely of ceramic with a 24K pure gold dial, is truly an art piece that combines graceful style and innovative technology. It also has the advantage of being less likely to scratch and constantly looking pristine.
Retailing at RM9,900, the new Blue Planet Gilding version is now available on the Red Army Watches website and at stores located in Pavilion KL and One Utama.
SANDRO
SANDRO has collaborated with French artist and designer Louis Barthélemy to express his universe in a capsule collection alongside Evelyne Chetrite, Founder and Artistic Director of SANDRO. Dividing his time between Paris, Egypt, and Morocco, he demonstrates deep commitment to the preservation and revival of traditional craftsmanship. The love for Morocco and an intimate attachment to its crafts were the points of encounter with Evelyne Chetrite.
Evelyne wanted the collection to be in the spirit of a modern fresco. Louis imagined bright graphics inspired by scenes of Moroccan life. These graphics came to life on fluid materials, silk for shirts, T-shirts and scarves, or polyester for shorts and pants. Two Kasbah bags, one of which is entirely hand-embroidered, also reflect this dreamlike universe.
Head on to SANDRO’s website to learn more about the collection.
UNIQLO
UNIQLO is back with a new collaboration with designer Maiko Kurogouchi, creator of the Mame Kurogouchi fashion brand. Bringing together designs with pleasantly curved lines and exclusive UNIQLO fabrics and production techniques, it’s a collection with sensual materials, cuttings, and colour tones. LifeWear that is elegant, while at the same time lightweight and comfortable, brings excitement to everyday, casual moments.
The UNIQLO and Mame Kurogouchi Spring/Summer 2023 collection will be dropping on Friday, 28th April. The full lineup will be available at UNIQLO stores in Malaysia, and the uniqlo.com online store.
