In a blink of an eye, we will be bidding 2021 goodbye. When our editor approached me in spring to debut this shopping column, I was thrilled.Having spent years in the fashion industry, fashion has always played an integral role in my life. In this column, our intention is to celebrate every individual’s authentic sense of style. We hope you enjoy it.
For this wrap up issue, we are inviting you to glam up for the holidays! Regardless if your idea of celebration is a quiet evening or a big bash with friends, slipping into something fancy instantly lifts our party mood. When it comes to glamming, I find myself sticking to classic black, but lately, I am inclined to add colours and accessories into my wardrobe especially after meeting Elena Loesch.
Russian-Canadian Elena has been residing in Shanghai for 18 years. She is the designer and owner of label MADAME PURE (WeChat: MADAMEPURE) which produces beautiful dresses for casual and formal occasions. When I visited her showroom, the burst of palettes had me bubbling in a pool of delight.

Try them on:

Accessorise: Accessories elevate any outfit from great to outstanding. If accessories aren’t your thing, try glittery drop earrings for a start since it’s closest to our face, your smile will instantly turn megawatt.
