As the crisp breeze of the cooler months embraces us, it’s time to delve deep into the latest arrivals that are set to define this season’s trends.

Cozy couture

The Y2K style is undoubtedly making a comeback, with a resounding roar. The early aughts fervor was first reignited by Gen Z last year, as once-familiar elements like bootcut jeans, chunky belts, beaded necklace and butterfly clips dominated our social media feeds. Embrace the revival of the fun trend with Diesel’s M-Onerva-Top. The cut-out knit top with logo plaque shows a glimpse of décolletage.

The brand has emerged as a highly coveted label among Gen Z fashion enthusiasts, and it’s easy to see why. Stepping into Diesel’s recently opened pop up store at Ocean Terminal, one is immediately captivated by the vibrant clash of red and metallic elements that perfectly epitomize the brand’s bold and fearless attitude.

As seen on style icons like Kim Kardashina, Bella Hadid, Kylie Jenner, Balenciaga’s It bags have taken the internet by storm. The new Balenciaga boutique at Harbour City is where the fashion-forward souls will fall in love with the Le Cagole Bag. It’s a rounded version of the Balenciaga popular Motorcycle Bag. It exudes a Y2K aesthetic, featuring a crescent shape, grained leather, and eye-catching stud embellishments, allowing it to be worn like a shoulder bag.

The KENZO X LEVI’S® capsule collection is yet another formidable player in the nostalgic throwback trend. Comprising approximately 20 garments and accessories, the collection predominantly showcases Kaihara premium Japanese denim. Highly recommending the full set of vintage washed style jeans to complete your y2k look! Make your way to the newly launched KENZO boutique at Harbour City, and discover how the sartorial collaboration seamlessly blends the practicality of Eastern fashion with the timeless essence of classic American denim, to pay homage to the resurgence of the utility trend.

Another East-meets-West aesthetic shines through in the Japanese Classic Small Bag by MM6 Maison Margiela. The distinctive triangular silhouette draws inspiration from the Japanese art of paper folding, origami. The buttons at its edges enable the bag to change shape through folding, while the supple calf leather showcases the craftsmanship of the French fashion maison.

Step into style

To fully embrace the Y2K look, one must wholeheartedly embrace the undeniable allure of a footwear trend that has sparked both controversy and adoration – Crocs. This once-scorned shoe has now become a fashion statement, as evidenced by A-listers like Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber, as well as K-pop idols such as aespa, Jisoo, and New Jeans, proudly sporting them.

Among the myriad collaborations that Crocs has embarked upon, the Crocs x McDonald’s Clog stands out this year. To add a personal touch, five limited-edition Jibbitz™ charms are available, empowering dream chasers to customize their shoes and truly make them their own.

Continuing the journey into an arena of whimsy and unparalleled comfort, we turn our attention to New Balance. New Balance has taken the classic elements of their iconic 99X series footwear and reimagined them. The result is the fusion of the “NB 9060” with a futuristic Y2K style, combining suede and mesh materials in a patchwork design. The shoes still feature the timeless N logo on the sides, becoming one of the most loved sneakers in this season!

From statement to shine

Much like any trend, the choker has experienced its fair share of cycles in and out of fashion’s spotlight, but this season it confidently declares its status as a mainstay.

When it comes to neck-adorning jewelry, the revival of the 90s calls for none other than Vivienne Westwood‘s iconic Mini Bas Relief Choker. Revered by fashion icons such as Rihanna, Blackpink’s Lisa, Timothée Chalamet, Katy Perry, and many others, this statement-making pearl choker effortlessly enhances any ensemble. Whether paired with a dazzling sequin mini dress for a night out or adding a touch of elegance to a casual ensemble, Vivienne Westwood’s necklace exudes timeless charm and versatile appeal.

Mini bags continue to reign as a prominent trend, and among them, Jacquemus presents the Le Petit Bambimou Doux. This charming accessory boasts a lightly padded leather veneer, adding a touch of uniqueness and coziness to your seasonal wardrobe. With the convenience of two shoulder straps, you have the freedom to carry it effortlessly on your shoulder or across your chest, allowing for a hands-free day without compromising on style.

From coveted fashion treasures that span across the realms of classic elegance to nostalgic looks, Harbour City is where you can unlock the trending pieces and revel in a diverse selection that captures the essence of this season’s most captivating styles.
