What’s more magical than a towering Christmas tree filled with sparkly baubles? One that comes with a moving carousel. To mark the festivities, Raffles City Singapore unveiled a first-of-its-kind Christmas tree in collaboration with Jo Malone London. Featuring a gingerbread man theme, the tree brims with folklore and merriment.
As the tree sets the scene for the season’s joyful offerings, shoppers can expect an array of luxury tenants, including new-to-market brands and store concepts making their debut. Those checking off their list of gifts will be elated by the lifestyle mall’s wide array of beauty, fashion, and dining options.
Dressing up for yuletide gatherings are part of the fun, but finding a stylish and comfortable fit is no mean feat. At Raffles City Singapore, shoppers are spoilt for choice by brands like Parisian label Sandro, Swedish line & Other Stories, and China fashion brand Urban Revivo. For accessories, shiny statement-making pieces await at Swarovski.
Sandro
Perfect for Christmas, its fall-winter collection asserts a sense of contrast with playful opposites. The brand reimagines the meeting of minds: a woman who prefers a preppy demeanour versus one who leans towards a sensual, feminine aesthetic. This divergence is explored through rhinestone-covered pieces or lingerie details that liven up banded sweaters and pleated skirts borrowed from college years. The collection highlights contradictions through shine combined with matte, and opaque sublimated by transparency. A great example: a soft satin dress paired with an oversized leather jacket.

& Other Stories
Play dress up for the festivities with & Other Stories’ partywear collection, where entrance-making dresses make their appearance. Expect cascading frills and ruched hemlines, perfect for dancing the night away. The dresses are accompanied by dazzling details, such as jewellery and accessories adorned with rhinestones. Opera gloves in leather add extra drama, while pointy mules and a pair of gold-tone pumps with a chic T-bar strap complete the after-dark looks. When at the store, be sure to check out the holiday window takeover by homegrown florist This Humid House. Customers who spend $280 or more will receive an exclusive hanging holiday arrangement.

On December 1, Urban Revivo makes the holiday season even merrier with the end-of-year sale, which offers discounts of up to 50 percent off. From Dec 12, shoppers who spend $180 and above will receive a mystery blind box gift. Inside lies one of four distinct mini bag styles, in colorways like frosty fuchsia and iconic noir. The brand also launches its men’s partywear collection in time for the festivities. Featuring contrast block colours, bright prints, and jacquard patterns, the genderless streetwear styles fuse fashion and functionality.

Swarovski
Add a glimmer to your outfits with Swarovski’s selection of adornments and gifts. This season’s jewellery highlights mixed cuts and multi-faceted stones, each crafted for maximum shine. Collections include Luna, which transforms the crescent shape into an array of edgy jewellery pieces; and Mesmera, which highlights pieces made with bold and translucent crystals. Evoking a winter wonderland, Gema is a constellation of crystals, clustered together in radiant shades of blue and white. For extra drama, turn to Hyperbola, with its twisting sleek metals and spirals of green and white stones.
