THE GIFT OF GIVING

Boutique Fairs Singapore: The Gifting Edition returned to the F1 Pit Building for its largest edition yet in November last year. Held across seven rooms on two floors, the biannual three-day affair saw a well-curated mix of over 300 independent brands—mostly Singapore-based—across fashion, beauty, lifestyle, home and living, and kidswear. Making their fair debut were veteran designers Thomas Wee and Wykidd Song, along with a break room of sorts aptly called Breathe. On VIP Preview Night, a select group was plied with treats at the BAZAAR Café set up by Harper’s BAZAAR Singapore, the fair’s fashion media partner. BAZAAR’s furniture partner Elements Concept cosied up the space while tea partner Nayuki delighted with bubble tea and premium cold-brew teas. A calligrapher also personalised BAZAAR tote bags for every guest.
