Paris Fashion Week
never lets us down to be the grand finale
of the fashion month.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic,
audiences were treated to a long-awaited
fashion extravaganza. It was exciting to
see top designers from the industry
welcomed the show in person. Paris
Fashion Week always continue to surprises
the audiences. Emerging from vibrant
makeup statements to celebrate the power
of colours, like shimmering metallics in
new and stunning forms on eyes and lips,
to bold statement-making trends, such like
Balenciaga’s collection honouring
Ukraine.
Let’s take a look at some of Paris Fashion
Week’s highlights.

VALENTINO - PRETTY IN PINK
Valentino presents “pretty in pink” in its
new autumn/winter 2022 ready-to-wear
collection. Just as it was certainly a bold
innovation for designer Pierpaolo Piccioli,
given the potential for the ready-to-wear
styles to appear repetitively pink, he
switched to a brooding black palette. The
transition from glowing pink above
chunky 70s platforms to suspenseful yet
classy black — such contrast unveil his
master design control.
CECILIE BAHNSEN - ELEGANT
LAYERING
Danish designer Cecilie Bahnsen had her
Paris Fashion Week catwalk debut. The
show opened with a reading of Tove
Ditlevsens 'Night Wandering’. "Cecilie
first began to read Tove Ditlevsen’s poetry
as a teenager," the brand explained. "Later,
in her 20s, she identified with Tove’s search
to find her voice. Tove was a prolific
chronicler of girls and women, writing
fearlessly about their complexity and
waywardness and struggle for a place in
the world.” Inspired by Ditlevsen’s poem,
she designed her collection with
shimmering materials embracing the
toughness and ordeal to take a woman
through the day and night.
CHRISTIAN DIOR - CAT SUIT
For the Christian Dior autumn-winter
22/23 ready-to-wear collection, Maria
Grazia Chiuri opens the doors to a new
era! Dior icons, such as the Bar jacket, are
modified through a unique encounter
between master craftsmanship and
technical innovation. The first model to
kick-start this collection wore a body suit
outlined in light-up-in-the-dark
fluorescent green. Behind this collection
is a reflection of Chiuri’s justified
framework of female empowerment.
Needless to say, this has got to be the
jumpsuit of the year!
LOUIS VUITTON - OVERSIZED
HoYeon Jung wears Louis Vuitton readyto-wear
autumn/winter 2022-2023
fashion collection. Nicolas Ghesquière
brings forth young adulthood in his
collection, calling it “an excursion into a
perceptible, fleeting, and decisive
moment when everything comes to the
fore, in all its innocence and insight. The
impermanence and beautiful volatility of
adolescence.” He also played with
androgynous tailoring, mostly in
oversized shapes as a day-to-day look.
The randomness of his design symbolises
“freedom is all,” he added, “without
directive or impediment.”

Balenciaga created a bitter storm
set to honour Ukraine
Balenciaga made a bold statement to show
support for Ukraine at Parish Fashion week as
Russia continues its brutal attack on the
country. The catwalk sets were finished long
before Russia invaded Ukraine, which became
unexpectedly relevant. All eyes were focused
on the creative director Demna as he revealed
his collection. As the show took place during
the second half of the week, Demna however
considered calling off the event, “"Fashion
feels like some sort of absurdity”. Under great
tensions, guests’s seats were draped in the
Ukrainian flag and the designer recited the
poem of Oleksandr Oles in Ukrainian. Not
only did the show shifted to a more personal
perspective, the crowd became a symbolic
gesture as well.
Basing on the designer’s own experience of
conflict and displacement 30 years ago, the
violent weather on the catwalk also reflected
how the Ukrainians were forced from their
homes.

Many clothes were in black and
difficult to see. The models
carried huge drawstring bags, as
if they were running away with
their precious belongings
packed.
To wrap up the show, Demna
sent out models in the colours
of the Ukrainian flag. First, a
men in yellow funnel-neck
jacket with matching trousers.
Meanwhile, the second look was
a blue dress with long train that
danced in the bitter wind. Such
strong voice has been delivered
by Demna at the PFW.

CELEBRITY SIGHTINGS AT PARIS FASHION WEEK
There’s no doubt that we love fashion shows. To be honest, nothing is more
exhilarating than when the lights fade, music blasts and all eyes on the
stylish supermodels walking down the runway. Yet watching celebrities with
the branded style in the front row is just as entertaining! The stars always
serve flawless looks that rival those shown on the catwalk.
Here are the six picks of celebrity styles: (starting from top left), we have
Zendaya at Valentino, Romeo Beckham and Mia Regan at Saint Laurent,
Anya Taylor-Joy at Dior, Emma Stones at Louis Vuitton, Rihanna at Off-
White, and Gemma Chan also at Louis Vuitton.

customer research in the past few years, surveying about
5,000 fashion and luxury customers on their shopping
habits on various categories. Results portrays that a
younger, fashion-forward consumer is becoming the
focus for the brand’s Spring 2022 campaign, which also
introduces a brand-new tagline and refreshing look.
Customers love shopping and find great deals, staying
on top of all the latest trends and they simply love
brands. Saks Off Fifth SVP of marketing Sara Griffin

and self-expression coming out of the last two years of
the pandemic and knowing what really speaks to our
customer and that desire to really live their lives out
loud.”
In addition, Saks Off Fifth has revived its art
direction, with the typeface of its logo renewed, and
is embracing a more vibrant colour palette. The
refreshed “Where Fashion Takes Off ” tagline speaks

hobby and fashion as a way of expressing themselves.
The campaign will play out on all of Saks Off Fifth’s
channels, especially increasing its new media
investment including TikTok, Snapchat, online video
and audio, as well as podcasts till the end of March.
The campaign is kicking off on social media as a new social investment, including TikTok and Snapchat to connect with the younger generations.

MUSIC

Music • CoverDog — “#Lovedust”
COVERDOG MUSIC IN THE TIME OF COVID-19
The pandemic has effected millions of lives, economies, industries, and, the list goes
on. Especially in the entertainment and music industries in Hong Kong, numerous
live shows and shooting has been “repeatedly postponed” to unknown dates. The
pandemic has radically altered the musical landscape, making it difficult to its
former self. However, CoverDog — a local music platform, recognises the
importance to strive for your passion and dream.
CoverDog has been established for 2 years by founders Din Cheung and Hong
Chan. Within a short period of time, they have build up a reputation renowned for
rearranging countless cover songs, shooting music videos, as well as hosting music
live with high profile artistes in Hong Kong. Some of the celebrity guests they have
worked with are Kristal Tin, Zeno Koo, Endy Chow, J. Arie, Fish Liew, Alex Lam,
and much more!
CoverDog continues to organise online live stream shows, hosting a “COVER
SONIC 2022” through end of April all the way to end of May. Exciting enough,
they have recently released their debut original song “#Lovedust”, composed and
performed by Din Cheung, bringing the love of music as well as a message for
everyone to as a support to fight through this difficult time.

#LOVEDUST

CoverDog debuts original song
“#LOVEDUST”
This year's first original song, "#LOVEDUST", was
composed and performed by CoverDog’s founder, guitarist
as well as director Din Cheung. This song uses the
inspiration of day and night, moon and sun, universe, and
stars to express an unforgettable love. The song, both
melody and lyrics wise, are written into 3 stages: being in
love, disagreement and distancing, leading to a break up.
# is a function to help search a topic easily; interestingly, a
# is visible as part of the song name as a connection and
interaction with others who have had the same experience.
Din wrote this song solely with a guitar on a cold winter
night, beginning with just bits and pieces of a simple idea.
He gradually added in more complexity and layers into
the song; for example, he added in violin, drums, bass,
guitar, and inspired Hong (Co-founder of CoverDog) to
design different levels of harmony, transforming from an
acoustic song into a complex song.
CoverDog happened to shoot their song cover on the
coldest day in the winter, at Tai Mo Shan.
Wearing just Atelier Reo Ma’s designer pieces with a
black tee, Din, including other CoverDog members,
shivered in the bitter cold. Yet, hard work pays! Not only
was their song cover beautifully shot, members of
CoverDog appeared with long beard in their official music
video, dressing in mature Western Cowboy styles.
Din also handled the editing and colour grading roles. “In
order to show a contrast between love and heartbroken,
the first half of the song has a warmer feeling like the
sunset and sunrise; the second half of the song slowly
creates a melancholy atmosphere. I put a lot of effort in
the colour grading. The layers mimic the colours of film.
I chose the Kodak 2383 colour for the band shots, and
FUJI-FILM 3513 for the female cast to create a Japanese
tone. Turns out I am really satisfied with the music video,”
Din wrote.
CoverDog will be releasing more original songs
throughout the year 2022. Be sure to check out their
social media for more info! (IG | @CoverDogHK)

Adidas' bare breast
campaign on IWD Month
During International Women’s month,
Adidas’ new campaign, showing a grid of 25
sets of women’s bare breasts seem to move
many women to embrace themselves, and
be confident with their body. Along with
their new sports bra collection, wrote: "We
believe women's breasts in all shapes and
sizes deserve support and comfort. Which is
why our new sports bra range contains 43
styles, so everyone can find the right fit for
them.”
As much as the heated debate was going
around the social media, with comments like
“too explicit”, or “inappropriate”, Adidas
stands to “celebrate bodies in all their glory
and proudly showcase how different we all
are.” Adidas does offer up to a 4X (cup size
G) on certain sports bras.
Many, including myself, were inspired by this
campaign that every woman has different
shapes. You just have to find the right sports
bra that fits you! Love yourself with
confidence, especially on International
Women's Month!

wellness & lifestyle editor. Aside from her
profession, Sarah is a mother, writer, runner,
and lifestyle blogger. She spreads her
positivity through sharing her daily life on
her social media, such as running, fashion,
wellness, and life in general.
Sarah was originally raised in rural southwest
England, “a country life whilst beautiful felt
limiting”, she recalls with nostalgia. After
attending an all-girls school in Bristol and
Law school in Liverpool, Sarah had “itchy
feet” and was eager to travel and to explore
the world.
She was fortunate enough to secure her first
job in marketing at the British Council where
she learned the ropes of the marketing
industry. This is also when Sarah began
travelling. For the first time in 2010, she
discovered Hong Kong and fell in love with
the spirit of this sleepless, energetic city. After
she relocated without hesitation, Sarah spent
the past decade basing in Hong Kong where
she set up her home as well as her business.
Sarah is a highly motivated and experienced
leader with more than 18 years' international
experience in marketing and strategic
communications. Specialized with a
demonstrated history in the education,
business aviation, technology, non-profit and
luxury sectors, Sarah is also actively involved
in a series of CSR and charitable projects,
globally and is Role Model for Inspiring Girls,
the perfect icon to be interviewed on
International Women’s Month.
Before we go into Sarah Keates’ extensive
interview, let’s shake things up a little with a
fun off the wall question!

People
COVER STORY
with Sarah Keates
If an animal can talk and
as smart as a human,
which would you pick to
work in your company
and why?
“Excellent and interesting question.
Cockroaches and elephants have
excellent memories so they would
be useful team members. At WOI,
we need to remember a lot of
names, facts, industry specific data,
acronyms, and so memory and the
ability to retain data is highly
valued. I would also employ
honeybees for their efficiency and
teamwork, spotted hyenas for
problem solving skills; and perhaps
a few wolves for when we need to
work as a pack.
I would avoid peacocks at all costs.
Whilst I respect and admire the
beauty and the usefulness of the
ego (to some extent), I’d prefer
creatures that can cooperate,
collaborate, and communicate in
real, healthy ways.

COVER STORY
People
with Sarah Keates
As the founder and owner of White
Orchid Insights, what inspired you to
develop your idea?
The honest answer is “necessity”. I
was newly separated/divorced and
needed a way to support my family
financially. I was in a great role that I
enjoyed at a highly respected global
agency, but I needed to advance my
career quickly and the only way to do
that at the time was to start my own
business. That aside, I had developed
in-depth knowledge of private jets and
I saw an opportunity to grow an
agency that serves this industry. At the
time (and to date), there are very few
communications specialists in this
space. So, part necessity, part
opportunity. The stars aligned (with a
lot of grit and grind).
What have you enjoyed most starting
your entrepreneurial journey?
Taking our own premises for the first
time. That felt like a big
2
moment. I am also excited
by having the autonomy
to shape the company
based upon my values. There have
been lots of micro-excitements
including working with top tier media
or receiving awards, but truly, I value
choice and autonomy more than
anything else. I am hard-working but
not especially compliant, so I do better
in an entrepreneurial model, it’s
exciting and terrifying that I can call
the shots. Day-to day, the travel, our
clients, and working with the media
has always excited me.
1 3
Q &
A
How have your priorities changed
from when you first started?
Initially, there was a lot of survival
instinct and panic-based work. Now,
we prioritise ensuring the correct client
fit. We have established what we do
best, where we can add value, and
where we should refer the clients to
another expert. It’s no longer about
“any client”, it’s about the right clients
– the ones we can really help.
What entrepreneurial hacks have you
developed to stay focused and
productive in your day-to-day?
My 3 unpopular but effective hacks:
Wake up at 0500, the quietest hour to
workout, think, meditate, or do as you
need to have a positive headspace
ahead of the hectic working schedule.
Don’t go out to lunch – it’s time
consuming and can cause an energy
dip in the afternoon, impacting
productivity. I pack a lunchbox of
proteins and fats to stay fuelled,
“working through” 7am-4pm, and
leave the office early to be with my son.
Work a little on Sunday. Two hours
in your inbox and project management
tools on a Sunday brings enormous
benefits. I delegate tasks, 4write lists, and
know exactly how my Monday
will look. The team can hit the
ground running early
Monday without me,
which means we move
forwards faster. I sleep better
with this hack on a Sunday evening
knowing what’s coming tomorrow.
What does IWD means to you, today?
This is such a challenging 5
question to answer and one I
have debated extensively with
friends, family, colleagues,
and clients. One camp feels
that IWD is a patronising
and pathetic attempt to pay
lip service to gender equality. The other
feels that IWD is an excellent way to
advance gender parity. I sit somewhere
in the middle. I agree that most
companies wheel out images of their
female staff with a half-hearted
accompanying message. Frustrations
come when we all know that this is a
one-off and the company isn’t doing
much (if anything) to improve the
landscape for women. I like to think of
international days of recognition,
including IWD and Pride Month as
reminders and pressure points for firms
and society at large to do better. Whilst I
am not naïve enough to believe that
(many) companies change for the sake of
good and whilst I know that change
often comes from a self-serving place,
change is still good. Example - if a large
company issued its gender statistics in
2021 and they hadn’t improved or had
gone backwards in 2022, then IWD
would (I hope) cause a little panic and
pressure. No brand wants to look bad –
so whatever their motivations behind
IWD messaging, if it leads to change, I
am in support.

What does it mean to be a woman in
your culture?
Expats living in Hong Kong are highly
privileged, I recognise this. What does it
mean to be a woman in this position? I
think we have a responsibility to be
honest, culturally sensitive, helpful,
useful, and speak to important topics
that need airtime.
What challenges did you have to
overcome during your journey?
Being taken seriously was hard initially
because I was young when I started
WOI. I have worked in “old boys club”
type environments that were rife with
bad behaviour that was excused as “the
way it is”. That was challenging,
infuriating, and I lost my arguments
99% of the time in these situations.
Then, reverse engineering a business
that had already taken off was
extremely challenging. Separately, I
have spoken candidly about my anxiety
7
in the past and I
am still asked about
it a lot, but I no longer
feel comfortable“leaning”
on this as a challenge. This
is said with the utmost
respect to anyone out there
struggling with mental
health issues.
What advice would you give to
someone who is trying to become an
entrepreneur, especially women?
Ask lots of questions but think about
what you can bring to the table.
Consider how you can become
8someone that should be
invited along to events
where you can learn. That
might. sound a bit
“tough love” but there’s a
lot of take and not a lot of give in the
business world. See where you can be
helpful to anyone, everyone, and refine
your skills, contacts, and experience
through service and community. Read
or listen, as I do on podcasts and
Audible. Don’t be afraid to express
strong opinions, they’re refreshing, and
ask when you don’t know. I spent too
long pretending I knew whereas now I
often say, “could you tell me more
about that please”. Seek to give,
understand, and enjoy the process.
What was your organizational culture
like 10 years ago for women and
working mothers? Do you feel the
company makes annual efforts towards
improving the culture for this cohort?
I was very lucky at both my previous
9
employers, with flexible
working, understanding
leaders, rooms to pump
and feed, and other benefits.
I believe these companies are
committed to making the landscape
better for women and working
mothers. I opted to work at these
organisations due to their values, so I
would be surprised if they lacked
progress. I am certain the same is not
true to other companies who still have
a shocking approach to gender parity,
equality, and fairness. So overall, the
picture is probably still fairly bleak.
10
How did you balance being a
mother and professional? How do
you set an example as a role model
to people at work vs to your
children?
II don’t believe in pretending we’re
doing it all. When I had my first child at
23 I found this pretence to be deeply
unhelpful and a massive shock when
reality hit me. I don’t think it’s possible
to be an amazing mother, sleep 3 hours,
look perfect, be professionally
exceptional, have amazing sex, social
life, and the perfect home. Instead, I
believe in outsourcing what I can,
getting help, and picking my battles.
I am blessed to have a wonderfully
supportive mother. In Hong Kong, we
also have the blessing of live-in foreign
domestic helpers, which, as a single
parent has been the single biggest factor
in enabling me to work and parent. I
don’t, for example, cook, clean, grocery
shop, or do much in the way of
domestic tasks. I am not ashamed of
this. I can run a family home and have
done so before; what I cannot do is spin
400 plates without dropping something.
So, my approach is: wake up early (for
time to yourself), outsource what you
can, and let go of perfection.

“
Could you contribute your wisdom or
expertise to empower other women?
I am continuously learning and making mistakes
as I go. I encourage others to do the same without
fear of judgement. We don’t need to be perfect; we
just need to keep showing up for ourselves and
others. I would also encourage women to be
kinder to one another – we’re all out here trying,

without us tearing one another down. When you

Lifestyle • SoHo House
Soho House, the exclusive
club worldwide
Soho House comprises more than just its
famously members-only club to connect and have
fun; it is exclusive. From creatives to entrepreneurs,
celebrities to managers, Soho House offers private
yet luxurious spaces such as its hotels, bar &
lounge areas, screening rooms and pools to a
focused range of creative class. Throughout their
25-year history, this multi-continental empire runs
28 clubs worldwide, not to mention, an expansion
of other innovative spaces such like Soho Works,
Soho Farmhouse, Soho Home and their own
restaurants all over the world!
1995: 40 Greek Street, Soho
It all began in 1995 when Nick Jones, founder of a
small brasserie named Café Boheme, received an
offer to acquire the space above his restaurants.
The restaurant's upstairs spaces were accessed
through a small door around the corner from
Café Boheme. This small door to the rooms of
the townhouse inspired Nick to transform it into a
private club for local artists and celebrities, which
later became the favourite gathering place for the
restaurant’s favourite regulars.

This Georgian house in London’s Soho, therefore
Nick named it Soho House. If you’ve noticed the
simple yet classy logo on Soho House, it actually
reflects the layout of Nick’s first space — three
floors across three interconnecting houses.

Culture • Ringo Tang — “Colour of Breath”
RINGO TANG
(Photos by Ringo Tang)
Ringo Tang, a renowned photographer, a
multimedia visual Artist, and TVC director. As a
professional photographer since 1984 and began
filmmaking in 1994, he has received many
international and local awards, such like D&AD
Awards (2011), International ARC Awards
(2003), Full Frame Documentary Film Festival
(2002), Longxi Awards (2000), New York
Festivals Film & Video Awards (1998) and much
more!
Ringo has a sensitive awareness of the art scene
and appears to be in his many faceted art works.
His respectability in artistic creations always
explores new styles and pushes his limit to new
ideas.
Aside from photography and films, Ringo is also
greatly engaged to the community. He has been
developing various cultural projects with the
University of Hong Kong, the Hong Kong
Museum of History and the Hong Kong
Museum of Art.
“Pulse of love” is Ringo’s earlier photography art
project, exploring the microscopic world, and the
extreme close ups on ceramic pieces, guiding
him to a difference space. Ringo finds the
developments interesting, imaginative, going
instinctively with his flow and mind in his
creation. “I sensed the passion from it, the power
and energy of love, it moved my heart, like the
pulse of love!” Ringo explained, heartwarmingly.
Elaborating on his development skills, Ringo
began a recent ongoing project named as
“Colour of Breath”.

Culture • Ringo Tang — “Colour of Breath”
“Colour of
Breath” is an ongoing project
that Ringo began last June, starting with
primary colours. He would develop one unique
colour per day for pleasure. Inspired by the Hindu
concept of seven Chakras, different colours stands for
emotions, subconsciousness, spiritual and physical state of a
human being, like a connection to the pulse of the universe. The
Sanskrit word chakra translates to a wheel or disk, meaning the wheels of
energy throughout your body. To understand the Chakra colours, first you
would have to understand colours. Now, the main seven chakras run up the
spinal cord and ending at the crown of the head. Each chakra has their own
colour, too, follow by red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and violet. So
how does this development works? “I generated the colour rings digitally on my
computer. Each colour has seven steps of density from outside towards to the
heart. The centre point is white, meaning when all colours hit the brightest point,
it is also white!” Ringo explained. Ringo believes that everyone wears their own
aura and own colour. “They should have an equal shot at reaching their dreams.
So what is the aura, colour and dream that represents you”, Ringo asked. So
colours after all equals uniformity, portraying no differences between in or
out, inhale or exhale. The exact point of each colours remains the same. To
Ringo, the beauty of developing colour is like the journey to life, painting
up the world with colours in this time of pandemic. Pandemic is yet a
reminder to us that there is nothing more important than the
strength we have in unity. Even though freedom of mobility
has been restricted, yet no one can assemble one’s
freedom in the space to create art. The admiration
of “Colours of breath” is indeed a soothing
way to put your mind at ease on a
spiritual level.

This chunky beast is the new Apple Mac Studio. (Photos by: Apple)
The Mac Studio is Apple's most powerful custom siliconbased
Mac, offering extraordinary performance and a wide
range of ports in a modular, desktop form factor. This
chunky beast starts at $15,999 HKD, and was released
alongside the $12,299 HKD Studio Display.
The Mac Studio is the newest Mac in Apple's lineup and is
very early in its product cycle. We have no clue in how long
Apple usually waits to update it, since this is an an entirely
new Mac product line and there have been no previous
models.
Now is the right timing to buy the Mac Studio and
customers should not wait for a new model to launch.
While the Mac Studio is now Apple's most powerful Mac,
for an Intel-based desktop machine with an
interchangeable, modular design with more ports (yes!),
there is the Mac Pro, which starts at $45,999 HKD.
However, if the Mac Studio is not within your price range
but you still want a product similar to Apple’s silicon-based
desktop Mac, there is the entry-level Mac mini, which starts
at just $5,499 HKD.

Technology • Mac Studio
Apple has mentioned that the Studio Display offers the “best
combination of camera and audio ever in a desktop display.”
It is powered by macOS Monterey, with macOS Monterey
12.3 slated for release next week.
The slim display has an all-screen design with narrow borders
and an all-aluminium enclosure. Its built-in adjustable stand
offers up to 30% tilt, and a VESA mount adapter that
supports landscape or portrait orientation for adjustability.
Furthermore, it shows off three USB-C ports and one
Thunderbolt port for peripheral connectivity, and its cable
brings 96 watts of power to a Mac notebook, allowing Studio
Display to fast-charge a 14-inch MacBook Pro. For those who
need to work at a computer desk with Muti screens, up to
three Studio Displays can be connected to MacBook Pro
altogether for modular workspace options across all of Apple
devices.
This tech beast has also introduced a new silver-and-black
colour option for Magic Keyboard with Touch ID, Magic
Trackpad and Magic Mouse to complement the new devices.
Both Mac Studio and Studio Display are now available for
pre-order online and will begin to arrive on Friday, March 18.

Hong Kong superstar Aaron Kwok, a super car collector in real
life, to their promotional video.
In the interview “GT Cafe with Aaron Kwok (Car Collector)”,
he recollects and reminisces on how he became a sports car
aficionado. “As a lot of boys do, racing games have given me a
chance to practice to an extent, I can get familiar with tracks
I’ve never done before. I think the game’s graphics are even
more stunning and smooth.”

Aaron also shared how he used to play Gran Turismo

SINGAPORE MADE GRAN TURISMO 7
DREAM COME TRUE
Besides Aaron’s promotional video, PlayStation
Asia also connected with Automotive and
motorsport personalities in Southeast Asia such as
Bobby Tonelli (Singapore), Claire Jedrek
(Singapore), Jazeman Jaafar (Malaysia), IP Chin
(Malaysia), Marlon Stockinger (the Philippines)
and Pete Thongchua (Thailand) to express their
love for car culture and racing.
PlayStation Asia even went as far as transforming
the Ten Square Building in Singapore into a Car
Vending Machine. "Just imagine a building stacked
with all the supercars that are featured in the Gran
Turismo 7 all at the same time – it would be such a
spectacle for all Gran Turismo fans and car culture
enthusiasts alike. Hence, it makes perfect sense for
us to do a unique building takeover of the building
even before it’s the official opening for the launch
of Gran Turismo 7 in Southeast Asia (4 March),
and in conjunction with the 25th anniversary of
the Gran Turismo franchise”, Sony’s spokesperson
explained. Ten Square is such a local landmark
that the visibility of the luxury cars is undoubtedly
the best spot to promote Gran Turismo 7.
In fact, PlayStation had originally intended to
invite fans to the launch event; however, they have
decided to oppose to this idea due to the current
COVID-19 situation.

The building takeover, done in partnership with
creative agency Axis Group Asia, consists 15
floors of the supercars from Gran Turismo 7,
such as Bentley, Lamborghinis, Ferrari, Porsche
and more sports car! Once selected, the car can
be sent down via a lift system to test drive, which
fulfils the Gran Turismo 7 dream come true!
“This is part of its OOH marketing stunt for the
global release of its racing game franchise Gran
Turismo 7 for PS4 and PS5,” according to the
Sony Interactive Entertainment, aiming to
rocket the number of game purchases as well as
its interaction with the PlayStation community.
Sony's spokesperson revealed to MARKETING-
INTERACTIVE that the value of the campaign
is about $200,000USD,” The unique building
takeover is part of our global marketing effort
where the game’s core themes and global
direction are adapted to local activation
featuring unique landmarks in Singapore, as well
as local motorsport personalities”.
In celebration of the game’s release in Southeast
Asia, this campaign will run until the end of the
month, bringing joy and thrill of the game from

(Photos by: Snap)
Snap is now developing permanent augmented
reality overlays for different landmarks across the
world, allowing developers to design custom
experiences that blend the virtual world with the
real world.
This new feature named “Custom Landmarkers”
has now been opened up for early access to various
developers, who will be able to create playful
overlays to iconic locations around the world that
are then curated by Snap. Places involving in this
project include Yu & Me Books in New York, a
historical trip of Union Square in San Francisco, a
Charlie Parker jazz experience at a statue in
Kansas City, and an AR performance by Dua
Lipa and Megan Thee Stallion on the Paul Smith
wall in Los Angeles. Designed for those using
Snap’s mobile app or eventually with AR glasses to
view these creations is the fun experiences Snap
aims to offer.
The effects are created in the company’s Lens
Studio software instead of the mobile device itself.
Therefore, the features will only work on iPhones
and iPads that have lidar, but the overlays will be
submitted to Snap once created, which will then
verify and approve them as they see fit in order to
respect and protect their privacy.
“These use cases are probably interesting on
mobile as well as glasses, and there will be a bunch
of use cases which will only be interesting on
glasses in the future,” Snap’s director of computer
vision engineering Qi Pan explained. “But
investing in these use cases on mobile that are also
interesting on Spectacles in the future, we really
learn: what the value is that people get out of it.”
