Each month, AnOther's editors give their fashion recommendations for the coming month. April's highlights include Paolo Roversi's exhibition in Seoul, Dazed Live, the launch of Prada's Made to Order service and Dior new menswear fragrance.
Paolo Roversi’s exhibition at 10 Corso Como Seoul, until 8 May
Concept store 10 Corso Como Seoul's third anniversary is celebrated by fashion photographer Paolo Roversi's exhibition Photographs. A rare insight into his work from the last two decades reaffirms him as the master of studio portraiture. Before arriving in Seoul, the exhibition toured neighbouring Beijing, Shanghai and Tokyo.
Cartier’s three new wristwatches
Luxury watchmaker Cartier's dedication to creating second skin timepieces continues with three new models out this month. Gold and steel creations, part of the Cartier de Calibre line, owe their ergonomics to the four horns that curve inwards to embrace the shape of the wrist.
Fly in style with Viktor & Rolf!
Amsterdam-based designers Viktor & Rolf have turned to the sky for inspiration. In collaboration with the Dutch national airline company KLM, they have developed a modern vision of male and female amenity kits for the airline’s World Business Class passengers on intercontinental flights. The kits contain all the essentials: toothbrush and toothpaste, socks, eye-mask, lip balm, pen and ear plugs. Their signature bow-shaped bag for women also contains face cream.
Sanderson Hotel’s Courtyard Garden
Caught up in the chaos of city life? Why not retreat to the private Courtyard Garden at the Sanderson Hotel. A sensual open-air oasis with flowering trees, fountains, mosaics and reflecting pool – take a moment out to relax, drink and dine in this private sanctuary and urban haven.
Dior Oud menswear fragrance launches, 4 April
One of this year’s most anticipated scents is finally making its way into Selfridges. Oud Wood cologne from La Collection Privée Christian Dior by François Demachy is taking centre stage in Dior’s repositioned fragrance corner opening soon on the Ground Floor. With essences of diffused burning leather, cedar and sandalwood, it is the perfect blend of masculinity and charm in anticipation of a long summer.
Dazed Live festival, 9-10 April
Dazed & Confused's first ever multimedia festival takes place next weekend. By day, engage with digital pioneers, musical mavericks, art rebels, evangelists and optimists. When night falls, a legion of innovative bands – including Gang Gang Dance, Black Devil Disco Club and Greco-Roman vs Numbers – and DJs and performers take to the stage.
Prada's Made to Order Service, end of April
Though evading an in-store Prada shopping experience may sound like madness, many will welcome the news of the brand's Made to Order service becoming available online at the end of this month. A dedicated section of the online store will list all the products for men and women that one can personalise, allowing users to add letters to leather goods or even initial their favourite shades.
