GIORGIO ARMANI
Step into Giorgio’s magical world of nighttime glamour! Giorgio Armani’s 2023/24 collection is like a dazzling night sky brought to life in fashion. Think clean lines, meticulous details, and fabrics that practically glow with sophistication. Imagine yourself in a symphony of three-dimensional jacquard designs, with jackets that sparkle like stars thanks to crystal accents and shimmering materials.
Whether it’s the sleek dinner jackets with shawl or spearpoint collars, contemporary trousers with a twist, or shirts that redefine chic with standing or minimal collars, every piece tells a story of nocturnal elegance. And don’t miss the showstopper: a velvet bomber jacket dripping in rhinestones, the ultimate after-dark twist on a classic city look.
The colour palette, a mix of mysterious black with hints of electrifying blue and ruby red, is the perfect backdrop to these luxurious creations, featuring jacquard silk, velvet, and cashmere. To top it all off, wrap yourself in the warmth of luxurious cashmere coats with shawl collars. For more, visit the Armani website.
BELL & ROSS
Get ready to be wowed by the rebirth of Bell & Ross’s iconic BR 03 watch – it’s like the coolest remix of your favourite tune! This watch has always been the heart and soul of Bell & Ross, and now, it’s reached new heights with some seriously clever upgrades.
Picture this: the BR 03 collection, the crown jewel of Bell & Ross, as a fusion of the brand’s unique style and identity. Since 2006, it’s been a rock-solid pillar of the brand, inspired by the sleek lines of an aircraft’s cockpit. They’ve stuck to their guns with the iconic “rounded square, four-screw” design, but this time, they’ve shaken things up with a 41mm case that’s all about evolution without losing its essence.
But here’s where it gets exciting: that slight reduction in size and those thinner lugs might seem small, but they pack a punch of style. The watch’s rounded corners have been softened, and the hands have been dialled up a notch. This new BR 03 joins a family of watches that are not just good-looking, but also super smart, with the latest BR-CAL.302 automatic movement, a power reserve that lasts a whopping 54 hours, and waterproof up to 100 metres.
Now, imagine this watch in your life with six mind-blowing designs – three in sleek black ceramic and three in polished steel. And wait for it… two new stunners: one with a copper dial (BR 03 COPPER) and another in badass khaki-coloured ceramic (BR 03 MILITARY). Bell & Ross has taken something iconic and made it even more legendary. It’s time to upgrade your wrist game with the new BR 03! For more, visit Bell & Ross’s website.
ASICS
Get ready to celebrate 30 years of greatness with ASICS SportStyle and their hot new release: the GEL-KAYANO™ LEGACY sneaker! It’s not just a shoe; it’s a tribute to the iconic GEL-KAYANO™ series and the incredible journey it’s taken.
Imagine Toshikazu Kayano, the genius behind it all, designing these kicks back in the late ’80s. Fast forward to 1993, and boom, the GEL-KAYANO™ series is born, inspired by the tough armour of a stag beetle. It’s all about protection and stability. Kayano-san crafted 13 stunning silhouettes before passing the torch in 2008, and now, it’s all about legacy.
The ASICS SportStyle team took inspiration from 30 years of epic design, blending the best bits from eight different GEL-KAYANO™ editions, from the 14 to the 20. It’s like a remix of greatness! And the colours? Oh boy, they’re inspired by the classics that have rocked the series from day one.
The first colourway rocks a white base with pops of blue, red, and black – it’s like a techy mashup that screams style. And the second? It’s a nod to the silver era of the mid-2000s. These kicks are the real deal, and they’re ready to rock your world. Get ’em now at CROSSOVER Malaysia’s online store or select Atmos stores ((KLCC, Sunway Pyramid, Mid Valley) for RM749. ASICS SportStyle knows how to celebrate in style!

FENTY x PUMA
Get ready to groove with global icon Rihanna and PUMA as they drop the freshest collaboration ever! Rihanna’s back as the Creative Director of FENTY x PUMA, and it’s gonna be a multi-year party that’ll rock your wardrobe.
They’re blending PUMA’s legendary sports heritage with Rihanna’s unbeatable style and music cred. The result? The super cool FENTY x PUMA Avanti, the first of many awesome things to come. It’s like football meets fashion, with a twist – a mashup of the King football boot’s leather swagger and the Easy Rider’s iconic outsole.
These two have a history of turning sporty styles into fashion statements, starting with the legendary Creeper in 2015. From trainers to fur slides, they’ve been setting trends left and right. And let’s not forget those epic fashion shows in New York and Paris – FENTY x PUMA was the game-changer!
Avanti’s story goes way back to 1968, with legends like Pelé and Maradona sporting the original King football boot. Then came the PUMA miele in ’78, evolving into the Easy Rider. Jil Sander and PUMA teamed up in ’98 with the Jil Sander King, which inspired the Avanti in 2001. Now in 2023, Rihanna’s adding her magic touch, making it even more iconic.
Rihanna’s campaign is FIRE, featuring herself, A$AP Nast, Pure, Felix Mallard, and two cool kids. The collection drops on the PUMA website and PUMA Sunway Pyramid on 15th September, and at ATMOS Mid Valley Megamall on 16th September. But hurry, it’s super limited – only one pair per customer. It’s Rihanna and PUMA’s world, and we’re just living in it!
