Singapore is the second South-east Asian city where the performance-meets-aesthetic brand has set up a permanent base, after Jakarta. The first floor of the new 9,300 sq ft duplex is dedicated to its athletic range, like bestseller models the Cloudmonster (from $269) and Cloudrunner (from $239). On, founded in 2010, is known for its signature cushioning technology that gives its trainers the telltale 'hole-punched' look and bouncing-on-clouds feel that fans swear by. What began as a mostly Swiss following has, from 2021, gained rapid international ardour. In the centre is a wall of shoes, arranged in cubby hole-like drawers that can be pulled out to access the stock kept behind it. The new flagship is also the first in the world to showcase the brand's latest tie-up with Hollywood A-lister Zendaya. The 'Zendaya edit' includes a modish blue-grey jumpsuit, boleros and a backless tennis dress. In sum, the sort of sleek apparel that the fashion-forward star would lend her name to.

Diesel x Melissa capsule collection Jelly shoe brand Melissa and uber-trendy fashion label Diesel team up for a capsule collection of three shoes. PHOTO: MELISSA/DIESEL Jelly shoe brand Melissa and uber-trendy fashion label Diesel make an odd, but not unlikable, couple. The two names have teamed up for a capsule collection of three shoes. The Quantum Thong, Quantum Platform and Quantum Sneaker X – released on July 15 – fuse Melissa's bubbly look and pop art charm with Diesel's futuristic sensibility. The 'sneaker' ($499) resembles a nautilus in profile and a reimagined duck's foot from the top-down. Coming in red, black or clear green, the model is the loudest statement piece of the latest collection and is meant to be genderless. The Quantum Thong flip flop ($199) is the most muted of the bunch with its classic low-heeled, Y-strapped shape. Available in four colours, the 100 per cent PVC make of the shoes gives the familiar style a punky, clear look. The Quantum Platform ($299), in three colours, is a chunky, open-toe number, with soles more rounded than typical and sporting the same wave-forms as the sneaker model. A notch in the centre of the sole creates a D-shaped 'hole' underfoot, obliquely recalling Diesel's monogram. It is a clever blend of two striking aesthetics – one cutesy, the other sulkily cool. Info: Available online at and and at Diesel's Ion Orchard store at B1-26/27/27A Orchard Turn
