Rad Russel x Simon Carter Exclusive Press Launch

Do you know your Derbys from your Oxfords; your wingtips from your cordovan? With men's footwear going all proper, Publicist PR was delighted to organize a press preview that shared an appreciation for hand-made shoes.

At the press launch of Rad Russel X Simon Carter presentation, Men’s Health, Men’s Folio, Female Brides, Singapore Women’s Weekly & even local celebrity Gareth Fernandez joined the designer himself to champion sartorial sophistication for a male audience.

As one of Britain's popular shoecrafters, Simon Carter believes the must-haves to update workwear is through a pair of well-made shoes and smart accessorizing. Upping your fashion credentials and injecting some sprezzatura in men's wardrobe doesn't have to be complicated, he shared. “Start off with a pair of green socks and a pair of quirky cufflinks.”

“With many male customers developing an appetite for costly "trad" shoes, we will continue building key collections centered on strong craftsmanship and quality.”

Comprising of classic styles such as Derby, Monk Strap and Oxford, the Rad Russel x Simon Carter capsule collection wooed with exquisitely sleek, elongated shapes and painstakingly made texture. Making quite an impression on our fashion press was the woven derbys and navy blue oxfords.

A big thank you to our dear media partners, Rad Russel and Simon Carter for making the press preview a great success.

The Capsule collection for Rad Russel X Simon Carter is available at Rad Russel's flagship boutique on Plaza Singapura.

Bang & Olufsen 90th Anniversary Cocktail

Publicist PR was thrilled to be able to work with Bang & Olufsen Press and VIP event. As the world’s oldest audio brand, B&O Singapore celebrated its 90th Anniversary on 5th March, at Grand Hyatt Singapore. The event saw the world premiere of Bang & Olufsen’s Love Affair Collection. While white gold represents friendship and yellow gold means fidelity, rose gold represents love and is therefore the ultimate inspiration for this collection.

'Girls Who Wear Glasses' Beauty Workshop

A beauty workshop for invited beauty & lifestyle bloggers, brought to them through a collaboration between Tokyo Star Optical and Ettusais over the last weekend of January 2015 has attracted a positive turnout.

The beauty workshop focuses on how girls who wear glasses can still put on make-up and look pretty even though they'll be in their glasses for the entire day, hence the name of the workshop, "Girls Who Wear Glasses Beauty Workshop". 

While Ettusais' make-up artist is demonstrating to our bloggers how to change a day eye shadow to an evening one, our bloggers were pretty excited about in. They had started interacting with each other, exchanging their tips and tricks while listening to the demonstration. 

When the workshop is done, Tokyo Star Optical introduced their new ranges of spectacles to the attendees, trying them out on the make-up model. 

At the end of the workshop, the bloggers went around Tokyo Star Optical store to try out some of their new range of glasses and seeking each other's opinions.
