Crochet shoes are this summer's breeziest staple
No longer reserved for lazy beach days, this versatile material is experiencing a resurgence this year and it's no secret why. Designers have co-signed this trend in a big way. Jacquemus went for a more cheerful route, with their woven slingback pumps in the colour of the season while Fendi opted for a sleek approach with their polished woven slip ons. Then there was Chloé's woven flats and Gabriela Hearst's pointy slingbacks, which proved that crochet could hold its own refined appeal as well.

Off the ss25 runway, however, there are already stylish options available. Consider soft neutral crochet shoes from Prada and Staud that will pair seamlessly with breezy linen sets or cotton sundresses. For the office bound, look to Burberry 's crocheted pumps to ace the corporate core aesthetic. Want to make a statement? The pink Aquazzura sandal, with its playful crochet flowers, will definitely turn a few heads on your next getaway.
So while your entire wardrobe lightens up, consider letting your footwear do the same. Below, shop the ultimate Vogue approved edit of the best crochet shoes on the market. Courtesy of Net-a-porter

How to cop the looks from Babymonster's 'Hot Sauce' music video
Few beats in and I'm already whisked away to a nostalgic time where candy-coated hip-hop was wrapped in loud jerseys and colourful baggy shorts. You know the era—where energy was everything and nobody was scared of a primary colour. The last time I remember being treated to such a visual feast— and a sound that bounced with the same kind of sugar rush (literally) was when I first watched H.O.T perform Candy—that delightfully chaotic mix of colourful hoodies, jerseys, and too many accessories (yet somehow never enough). There's something so comforting about that era of K-pop, like it never took itself too seriously, but still delivered cultural impact in spades. And now, Babymonster's 'Hot Sauce' music video brings it all right back. H.O.T's 'Candy' music video featured bright, mismatched pieces reminiscent of the retro hip-hop style that was popular back then Courtesy of SM Entertainment The girls burst onto the screen like a living moodboard. Fun, vibrant pieces, accessories of all kinds, chunky sneakers—it's all here. There's a real commitment to the mismatched primary colours too: cherry reds clashing with bright yellows and greens, all complemented by blacks and whites for that pop-art contrast. It's messy in a fun way, just like someone raided the kids' crayon box and turned it into a old-school streetwear lineup. Accessories like bandana headscarves and chunky scrunchies added a fun touch to the looks. Courtesy of YG Entertainment Mismatched jerseys layered over t-shirts, and contrasting combos tie-in to the sports-inspired ensembles.

Here's how to style your swimwear this summer the Vogue way
Courtesy of The Mega Agency If you're in a Mamma Mia! state of mind—think twinkling blue waters, tousled beach hair, and chilled proseccos under the sun—then you're not alone. Whether it's a hidden beach in Capri or a yacht cruising along the Amalfi coast, the fantasy is vivid: days that melt into golden sunsets, a sun-kissed glow, and the perfect beach wardrobe to accompany all your summer adventures. But once you've found the perfect body armour deemed necessary for a 'hot girl summer', the question remains—how do you make your swimwear look good outside the clear blue waters? The answer: the right cover-ups. It's not just about what swimsuit you wear, but how you wear it. Do you keep things simple or playful? Minimal or layered? From breezy sarongs and oversized linen shirts to statement jewellery and chic scarves, the right styling can take your beachside fashion to a whole new level. Take a leaf from the book of the ones who do it best—aka our favourite celebrities. Because the unanimous verdict is: they're doing summer right. Like Bella Hadid's now iconic baggy jeans cover-up, think a basic black bikini top paired with baggy low-rise jeans and a silk headscarf—the right amount of cool for her time under the sun. And just when we thought we'd seen it all, Kylie Jenner stepped out in Venice for a pool day and gave us something entirely new to be obsessed with. And obsessed we are. Spotted at Jeff Bezos's and Lauren Sánchez's high-profile wedding, the reality TV star turned heads in a black latex string bikini styled with a matching crochet pencil skirt. Below, find Vogue Singapore's guide to taking your swimwear beyond the waters. @lalalisa_m 1 / 24 Sheer bliss A sheer dress is a must-have for a beach vacay, plus you can take it up a notch by pairing it with a bright coloured bikini for a pop of colour just like Lisa here.

London museum opens vast ‘on-demand' storehouse to public
A visitor looking at the artefacts exhibited in the newly opened museum V&A East Storehouse in East London on June 12. PHOTO: AFP LONDON – Imagine being able to visit a museum and examine up close thousand-year-old pottery, revel alone in jewellery from centuries past or peer inside a Versace bag. Now, London's V&A has launched a revolutionary new exhibition space, where visitors can choose from some 250,000 objects, order something they want to spend time looking at and have it delivered to a room for a private viewing. Most museums have thousands of precious and historic items hidden away in their stores, which the public never gets to see or enjoy. But the V&A East Storehouse, which opened on May 31 in a specially converted warehouse, has come up with a radical new concept. And it is totally free. Senior curator Georgia Haseldine said: 'Museums should be and are for everybody... the V&A's collection is for everybody. It belongs to everybody, and everyone should be able to have free, equitable and meaningful access to it. 'So, this is a world first. Never has anyone been able to be invited freely, without having to book into the same space as a national collection, on this scale.' One-fifth of the museum's total collection is now available to be viewed and enjoyed in the four-storey building on the former site of the 2012 London Olympic Games. No protective glass British drummer Keith Moon's drum kit is among some 250,000 objects available to the public for viewing. PHOTO: AFP 'It's fantastic, it's so much better than an ordinary museum,' said retired physics teacher Jane Bailey as she toured the floors. 'I'm just really, really impressed by it. We've only just heard about it, but it's phenomenal.' She was transfixed by the sight of the drum kit which belonged to Keith Moon from English rock band The Who, saying it would be great to be able to resuscitate the legendary drummer – who died in 1978 – to play a set for them. Jostling for space side by side on shelves in a massive hangar – which resembles a do-it-yourself commercial warehouse and stretches for more than 30 basketball courts – are everything from ceramics and tapestries to paintings and toys from the Tudor period. There is even the whole 15th-century gilded wooden ceiling from the now-lost Torrijos Palace in Spain; and the Kaufmann Office, a panelled room which is the only complete Frank Lloyd Wright interior outside the United States.

Its huge size means it has rarely been seen since its stage debut. There is no protective glass.

PHOTO: AFP One of the first visitors to the Storehouse was Princess Catherine, a patron of the V&A and keen art lover, who took a tour on June 10. She described the collection as 'eclectic' as she used the 'order an object' system to look at a samples book from renowned 19th-century English textiles designer William Morris, as well as rolls of ornate textiles and a musical instrument.

PHOTO: AFP All the works are available to the public seven days a week, and can be reserved via an online booking system for a private viewing at a date and time of your choice. Members of staff are on hand paying close attention as visitors don purple gloves and satisfy their curiosity, spending time with the object of their choice. A love letter to objects It is a huge departure from the usual admonishment of 'Don't touch!' found in most museums seeking to protect their objects from damage. Dr Haseldine acknowledged 'we have certainly met with some levels of scepticism and worry'. But she said once the idea was explained properly, including how meaningful it is to start to open up and give collections back to a community, 'people just start to think creatively about how we can do this'. American national Manuel Garza, who lives in London, thought the V&A Storehouse was 'one of the most interesting spaces that just opened up here in London'. One-fifth of the V&A museum's total collection is now available to be viewed at the V&A East Storehouse, which is in the four-storey building on the former site of the 2012 London Olympic Games. PHOTO: AFP Dr Haseldine said 'this building is a love letter to objects'. 'To be able to see around the back of an object, to be able to look inside a dress, to be able to see the bottom of a pot – all these things are how we really learn about our material culture,' she added.

PHOTO: AFP Expert Kate Hill, who teaches cultural history at Lincoln University, said it is unusual for museums to open up their storehouses. 'Most of the time, they offer some 'behind-the-scene' tour, but their objets are not accessible. It's visible, but not accessible.' Ms Bailey said: 'I would hope that this is the museum of the future because some are very, very stuffy. We went to one recently and it was excruciating.'
