The luxury lingerie label, La Perla, has unveiled a new Paris space that features the brand’s new menswear collection.

La Perla’s new store concept launched at the label’s historic boutique at 20 rue du Faubourg St Honoré. This 230 square meter space is split over two floors, and now features a special corner dedicated to the brand’s first ever menswear collection. This collection will launch in Spring/Summer 2015.

La Perla’s menswear collection was first debuted at this summer’s Pitti Uomo event in Florence. The collection, designed by Emiliano Rinaldi, features a mix of luxury home wear from silk kimonos to cashmere tracksuits, and super chic two piece sleepwear sets.

The store concept itself was created by Italian architect Roberto Baiocchi who has also worked on boutique designs for Prada and Miu Miu. Key features include a Portuguese marble floor, Italianate arches and artistic touches, with window displays fitted with pink onyx.

Singapore’s position at the forefront of the global fashion stage was sealed Tuesday evening as the Asian Couture Federation (ACF) presented the region’s most prominent fashion awards at Marina Bay Sands. The prestigious event also saw the announcements of the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) Couture Council’s landmark formation and the FIDé Fashion Weeks world tour, which will bring its unique and groundbreaking fashion initiatives across Asia and the world.

Attended by the most respected names in fashion, the ACF awards gala honoured key individuals across a range of disciplines and professions who have made a profound impact on the fashion industry, particularly in Asia. Fifteen awards were presented, including the Lifetime Achievement Award to ACF Honorary President, Mr. Kenzo Takada.

“Around the world, leading fashion federations such as La Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture, the Council of Fashion Designers of America and the British Fashion Council have made it a point to consistently recognise the best talents in their markets. To date, this simply hasn’t happened in Asia,” said Dr. Frank Cintamani, ACF Founding President.

“As part of its remit, the ACF has sought to recognise and promote the very best couture talent in the region. However, our goal of raising the wider awareness of the creativity and ability that exists in Asia cannot be achieved without the support and partnership of a number of individuals and businesses that also strive for excellence within their respective fields of expertise.

The ACF Awards pay homage to these individuals by acknowledging their efforts in raising
the profile of Asia’s fashion industry on the world stage. Each award represents outstanding
achievement and reflects the commitment and excellence of each and every nominee,” he
continued.

Additional awardees include Ms. Silvia Fendi for Outstanding Contribution to the Global
Couture Industry, Mr. Bryan Yambao, more famously known by his moniker Bryanboy, for
Outstanding Contribution to Social Media in Fashion and Rain (Jung Ji-Hoon) as the Asian
Couture Federation Style Icon.

Holiday season is upon us and that means two things are on my mind: shopping for gifts and the state of my bank account. Shop smart this season with these five Fall favorites under $75.

1. The Long Cardigan

Simultaneously chic and effortless, this oversized duster cardigan is just the thing to update your fall wardrobe. This one is from the UK store Warehouse.

2. The Oversized Bag

With colder weather comes layering and unlayering throughout the day. An oversized bag is perfect for stashing a scarf and sweater without being too bulky. Grab this bag on ModCloth for just under $65.

3. The T-Shirt Dress

Transition your favorite t-shirt dress into winter with tights and thigh-high boots. The layering possibilities are endless. This one is a steal for under $40 at Monki.

4. The All-Weather Boot

Nastygal proves that rain boots don’t have to be ugly with their ultra-cool sparkly Chelsea rendition. Buy them online here, before they’re sold out.

5. Tassle Earrings

The best part about these earrings is that they combine two fall trends in one; tassel and art-deco jewelry. Aptly named Hollywood Glam, these earrings by Betsey Johnson will go with just about any outfit this season.

This season, I’m all about mixing different textures together. Whether its velvet and leather or knits and lace, listen to your inner fashion rebel. Anything goes, so break the rules with this one.

1. The Universal Knit

If you don’t have one, invest in one ASAP. The perfect knitted sweater is just the thing to keep you stylish and cozy.

2. The Lace Bralette

Lace bralettes are great for layering over, under, or just by themselves. I’m particularly partial to the She’s a Knockout Bra by For Love and Lemons.

3. The Velvet Pencil Skirt

I find that pencil skirts often teeter on the edge of uptight or cliché. This velvet version, however, is neither and just the right amount of sexy and sass.

4. The Leather Boot

From ankle boots to thigh-highs, choose your own adventure. For this look, I opted for over-the-knee boots for maximum warmth.

5. The Furry Clutch

While (faux) fur coats remain a winter staple, the furry clutch is the perfect way to stand out of the crowd this winter. This one is a one-of-a-kind piece from Etsy designer Joanna Pybus. Definitely a statement piece.

6. The Wool Hat

Some say that people lose most of their body heat through their heads. Whether or not this is true, keep warm and on-trend this season with a wide-brimmed wool hat.
