Maison Valentino Pop-Up Store at Dover Street Market Singapore

Coming off the high from the creative directorial debut of Alessandro Michele, Valentino is marking its expansion with the Spring 2025 Avant les Débuts collection — that’s now available to shop at a Dover Street Market near you. And yes, that includes the Singapore iteration of the concept store. From October 31st, all six Dover Street Market stores worldwide will see a harmonious pop-up that introduces the collection. And don’t fret when that wraps, because this new partnership between the two fashion giants is set to persist. Valentino is slated to have a permanent space within the concept store’s London, Beijing, Ginza and New York editions as early as November 2024.

The Pace at Funan

Located on the first floor of Funan, The Pace is the latest speciality sportswear store to grace our shores. The difference?

Stocking labels like Bandit Running, norda, Vivobarefoot, District Vision and more, runners can expect athleisure taken to the next level at The Pace.

Beyond The Vines Design House at New Bahru

Signature vibrant aesthetics aside, the space welcomes a new retail experience that is bound to be novel, even for the most regular of its clientele. An immersive tunnel that invites exploration, a dedicated section reserved for the emblematic Dumpling Bag line, and a new kids’ section conceptualised around the idea of building blocks are just some of the highlights of the space. In addition, the new store also debuts a personalisation space — where BTV Key Tags can now be designed to one’s liking.
