Threads of Memory

Singapore’s nostalgic icons and childhood memories reimagined in Fall/Winter 2025 fashion.
HERMÉS top, skirt, brogues heels

For our August issue, we honour Singapore as it marks 60 years of independence—a milestone that invites both celebration and reflection. When we speak of Singapore, one word echoes universally: home. Yet, in a city constantly reinventing itself, what does home really mean?

To explore that question, we turned to the familiar corners of our collective past—places where memory lives, from mosaic-tiled playgrounds to the colour-filled shelves of corner mama shops. And while the city hums with change, there’s comfort in returning to the spaces that shaped us.

This editorial traces that journey. Styled in the best of Fall/Winter 2025—from the quiet luxury of Hermès to the sharp tailoring of Tod’s—we walked familiar streets with new eyes.

Like a love letter. Stitched with nostalgia, layered with meaning, and rooted in belonging. With SG60 in mind, scroll on for a story that brings us back to where we started—and reminds us where we belong.
