THE SHOPPES AT<br />

MARINA BAY SANDS<br />

MOST<br />

MEMORABLE<br />

LONG<br />

DISTANCE<br />

EVENT<br />

This is the ideal place to bring a jaded<br />

anti-shopping partner as there are far<br />

more than just storefronts to view. While<br />

the brands on show will make you want to<br />

dress like a fashionista, you should wear<br />

comfortable walking shoes as there is more<br />

than 800,000 sq ft to cover.<br />

Many of the luxury fashion brands have<br />

a presence here. Seek out the Louis Vuitton<br />

Crystal Pavilion — a glass store fl oating on the<br />

waters of Marina Bay.<br />

Once the credit card is exhausted, there<br />

are more sights to behold — the celebrity chef<br />

restaurants and ArtScience Museum should<br />

keep everyone happy.<br />

IN FOCUS //<br />

International brands are clamouring<br />

to launch their latest flagship store<br />

and nasty y<br />

knock-offs are absent<br />

SINGAPORE<br />

Singapore prides itself on being one of<br />

South-East Asia’s most developed cities.<br />

And that means there are plenty of places for<br />

well-heeled travellers to spend the big bucks.<br />

Commes des Garçons, Issey Miyake, Dries<br />

Van Noten and Balenciaga are just some of the<br />

brands that call this their Singaporean home.<br />

In this refi ned setting, browsing the wares of<br />

Alexander Wang and Marni will be enough<br />

to send your pulse (and your credit card debt)<br />

sky high.<br />
