As the end of the year approaches, we are again inundated with deadlines, the holiday rush and that Christmas shopping list. Hopefully, while flipping through this magazine The Gardens Mall will at least be able to help you with one of those things… your Christmas shopping list.

2015 has been a big year for The Gardens Mall with wonderful, exciting new brands including Balenciaga, Diane von Furstenberg, Emporio Armani, Kids Around and Catimini. Of course, there will be a few more surprises in the New Year, but we will keep you guessing until then.

This holiday season, we will be taking you to two places at the same time. Imagine walking along a Parisian street and ducking into a little café, only to find yourself in a quaint orient-inspired coffee shop. It’s all about East meeting West, and the diversity it brings to this very celebrated occasion. It’s not just the culture that is affected, but the fashion as well.

This season, we see well-defined tailoring of the West intertwined with intricate details and brocades of the East. Brands including Hermes, Prada and Versace Collection take us on a journey of grace and strength with their latest collections.

A big thank you to Dior and HairCo for their support in the making of this magazine issue.

En Avant!

6 Christmas Special 2015

This revered French fashion house was founded in 1937 by Spanish designer Cristóbal Balenciaga, who is regarded by many as one of the leading and most influential couturiers of the 20th century.

Under the guidance of Creative Director Alexander Wang, the brand’s reputation for uncompromising standards and cutting-edge silhouettes lives on in the Balenciaga Fall-Winter 2015 collection, aptly named “The Heirloom of Today”. The heart of the collection is embodied in a bejewelled stickpin that serves as an opulent symbol of the brand’s enduring heritage. It boldly defines the new diverse dress codes of today by deconstructing classic

Balenciaga styles such as the “Cocoon” coat and balloon dress. Above all, the collection flaunts the joyous clash between new and old to create the timelessness of an heirloom.

Balenciaga’s spirit of innovation is also very much present in its Men’s Fall-Winter collection themed “A newly imagined terrain”. Stripped down to the essentials of shape, proportion and integrity of materials, the collection embraces the fashion house’s time-honoured craftsmanship with a wardrobe of sharply tailored luxury sportswear, outerwear, accessories and footwear.

With these new offerings, it’s clear that the Balenciaga brand will continue to be coveted around the world for a long time to come.

EMPORIO ARMANI

BALENCIAGA

Iconic Italian luxury brand Emporio Armani welcomes the new fashion season with a perfect blend of impeccable styling and modern innovation. Its Fall/Winter 2015 - 2016 women’s collection “Crossing Colours” espouses the idea that feminine shapes are to be worn as nonchalantly as if they were menswear pieces. Showcasing an eclectic mix of colours and cross-cultural design influences, the collection includes tailored trousers, knee length skirts, fitted jackets and brightly coloured furs.

The alluring fall colour palette, comprising deep, rich tones of ruby, sapphire, amethyst, moonstone and black onyx, emphasises the purity of the shapes, while textiles stimulate the senses of sight and touch. A surprising element and recurring theme, ruffles are used to adorn belts, collar points, bag straps and necklaces. Likewise, the traditional Eastern pattern of Ikat is featured prominently and becomes a strong motif that closely resembles faded graffiti.

For men, this season’s collection has a strong urban feel and is characterised by the inspired use of jersey as a highlight and knitwear as an unusual detail. Rough-cut cloth jersey gives shape to pea coats and parkas made of needled check and mohair-like fabrics. Key pieces are made from classic herringbone or damier jacquard fabrics that are interrupted by bold brush strokes reminiscent of traditional Japanese calligraphy. A unique detail that helped define the garments is the macro zip, which outlines the shape of the trousers or fully profiles the jacket.

Accessories complete the collection, including unstructured bags lined with knitwear and hand-held bags enhanced with macro hinges. Traditional lace-up shoes feature tips and heels trimmed with contrasting rubber while sneakers are covered in fabric. The colour palette is classic, spanning from black, grey, camel and blue to hints of chocolate and metallic touches of satin gold and silver.

Even while pushing the boundaries of fashion, both collections exude an understated elegance that is so unmistakably Armani.
