Who’s in Charge?
The year-end should be all fun and games, but, let’s face it, finding a
meaningful gift can turn into hours-long hikes through department stores. Instead of endless shopathons, we recommend you kick back, order yourself another glass of mulled wine and flip through our handy guide. This year’s edition still has heaps of great fashion finds, but we’ve also included a lot more tech, home accessories and quirky gadgets. Happy hunting and happy holidays.

SUPER SONIC Where to find retro videogames and consoles
O-CornerIf there is really such a thing as the cov-eted nerd-vana, this is probably it. Stacked from floor to ceiling with retro videogames and vintage toys, this little, tucked-away shop in MBK is co-owned by a Japanese man, meaning all the products in the shop are shipped straight from the source. They also have a pretty impressive stock of vid-eogame merchandise, the likes of which is usually only found in the US or UK, such as limited edition action figures, T-shirts and posters.6/F, MBK, Phaya Thai Rd., 02-611-4880. www.fb.com/OCorner
Love Game ShopInteresting fact: By chance, the owner of this store came upon an abandoned fac-tory filled with unopened retro consoles, so it’s no wonder this place has some of the best-condition gear in town. He even has rare relics from Nintendo’s short-lived days as a toy manufacturer, before they focused exclusively on videogames, like the physical version of the hit Super Nin-tendo game Duck Hunt. Serious collectors should really check this one out.5/F, Mega Plaza, Mahachai Rd., 084-434-5115. kokoshop.tarad.com

ADVERTORIAL
After successful collaborations with prominent designers such as Paul Smith, KENZO and Elie Saab, Evian announces its latest partnership with Alexander Wang, who represents the van-guard of New York’s fashion industry through his minimal, cutting-edge designs known to re-contextualize the typical urban uniform.
Born in San Francisco, Alexander Wang traveled to New York to Attend Parsons’ School of Design, and quickly rose to prominence in 2008, receiving top honors as a recipient of the highly competitive Vogue/Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) Fashion Fund. Wang was crowned Swarovski’s Womenswear Designer of the Year in 2009, which pushed him to new heights in the fashion industry and coin-cided with the launch of his equally-edgy second line, t by Alexander Wang. Two years later, Wang was named GQ’s Best Menswear Designer of the year, and won the prestigious CFDA award for Best Accessory Designer. Worldwide recognition quickly followed, and his avant-garde, ready-to-wear collections can now be found in 25 stores worldwide.
Evian water was born in the heart of the French Alps, and goes through a 15-year jour-ney, over impermeable rocks and through glacial sands. As the water travels, it chemically breaks down and rebuilds to acquire its unique mineral composition. When Evian water finally emerges, it is as pure as nature crafted it, at its freshest and purest state.
Breaking down something orderly to recon-struct it into an enhanced state of purity is com-mon to Evian and Alexander Wang. Wang chose to express that through two contrasting bot-tles this year—one black and one white—to symbolize purity as a duality of two extremes. For the occasion, Alexander Wang puts a tell-ing twist on his signature logo: a new empha-sis on purity through crisp, clean architectural lines. The Alexander Wang bottle is only avail-able during the festive season: crack one open at your year-end feasts to enter 2016 on a note of purity and elegance.
TAPPING THE SPIRIT OF
NEW YORK FASHION
The Evian x Alexander Wang water bottle (750ml only) can be purchased at all leading Bangkok supermarkets. You can also find it served at Sofitel So hotel, L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon
and Blue Sky Centara Grand at Central Plaza Ladprao.
