“I’m not trying to be a flirt, like in my twenties,” American singer-songwriter Jason Mraz says, laughing. “I’m almost 50, and that’s not the vibe I’m putting out on stage any more.” It has been seven years since Mraz performed at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre as part of his “Good Vibes” Asia tour. Since that visit in 2019, Mraz has kept himself agile, releasing the full-length reggae record Look for the Good (2020), embracing disco-pop on the 2023 album Mystical Magical...

Lalisa Manobal – better known to just about everyone on the planet as Lisa – has never been afraid to stand out. The Thai-born star smashed her way into the K-pop game as YG Entertainment’s first non-ethnically Korean star, broke records with girl group Blackpink and as a solo artist, and has since made the leap onto the small screen as an actress. Somewhere along the way, she’s also amassed a very cool watch collection. She has also become a fixture in the luxury fashion world, favouring chic...

3.5/5 stars If the runaway success of 2023’s Godzilla Minus One proved anything, it is that there is plenty of life left in the old kaiju. This century’s revival of the fabled giant monster has been a sort of tit for tat between Hollywood – with Legendary Pictures’ Monsterverse films placing the creature alongside King Kong – and the Japanese originator, Toho, which has also rebooted the franchise.

Alarm at 6am. J.P. Morgan trading desk by 7.45am. Clock out at 6.30pm. Design custom jewellery until 1am. For months, Koyo Song ran her jewellery business, Benalor, while holding down a full-time corporate finance job in Hong Kong – surviving on five hours of sleep and her ambition to build her own brand. In July 2026, the 28-year-old walked away from her position as a sales associate – and a six-figure monthly salary – to run Benalor full time with her boyfriend and business partner, Avi...

Recently, it came out that Taylor Swift had reportedly distanced herself from Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds’ four children – James, Betty, Inez and Olin – and her role as their godmother.

Lane Kiffin’s decision to leave Ole Miss only days before their first college football playoffs to coach their long-time rivals, the LSU Tigers, has not been received well by his old team – and things got especially heated ahead of the LSU vs. Ole Miss match on September 20, with the latter claiming victory.

In 2024, French artisanal cookie company Sucré did a four-day pop-up in Hong Kong. The response was overwhelming, says Louise Lui, the brand’s Hong Kong-born co-founder. “There was already a queue forming outside 25 minutes before us selling,” she says. “And then I was just like, ‘Oh my God, how do you know about us?’” When developing recipes for the pop-up, Lui and her French partner in life and business, Victor Selle, wanted something that would bridge cultures. They landed on familiar Asian...

Hong Kong designer Kinyan Lam’s autumn/winter 2026 collection, Grounded, is more than a seasonal drop. It sets a clear vision for the future of his eponymous brand: that slowing down is the only way forward. “I heard a saying that plants and trees have two ways of growing: they explode into the world, but their roots continue to dig deep into the soil,” says Lam, who is in his thirties. “Right now, I am just a small tree, and I want to grow my roots deeper so I can grow into a big tree. This is...
