1. Dive inside the new Winona Ryder book

Gen Z may know Winona Ryder for her role as Joyce Byers in hit Netflix show Stranger Things but older fans remember the 52-year-old actress as a true icon of the 90s and early 2000s. Her androgynous style and elfin beauty, not to mention her high profile relationships with fellow A-listers like Johnny Depp, were widely documented in the media back then.

Ryder has kept a low profile in more recent times but her enduring influence on fashion and beyond is immortalised in The Winona Book, a coffee-table book featuring over 100 photos of her, mostly taken by long-time friend and former Marc Jacobs staffer Robert Rich. Jacobs, one of Ryder’s favourite designers, wrote a foreword for the book, which is a fun and intimate look into one of the most enigmatic and private Hollywood celebrities.

2. Takashi Murakami’s bold new works on display in Kyoto

Japanese artist Takashi Murakami, known for his Superflat art that often depicts cute humanlike flowers and fantastical creatures inspired by Buddhism and Japanese history, is the subject of a large-scale exhibition in Kyoto.

Entitled “Takashi Murakami Mononoke Kyoto” and held at Kyoto City Kyocera Museum of Art, the exhibition will showcase 170 predominantly new works, most of them never shown before in Japan, and also shed light on the artist’s long-standing admiration for Kyoto and its artistic traditions. It runs from February 3 until September 1 – so plan your next trip quick.

Swiss watchmaker Omega has recently made waves in Hong Kong by launching boutiques on both sides of Victoria Harbour, with a four-storey address on Queen’s Road Central in the heart of bustling Central and a K11 Musea location overlooking the harbour on the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront.

 

“We felt there was a lot happening in this city,” Omega CEO Raynald Aeschlimann says. “Thus it was time for Omega to grow. This is a landmark for the next generation of our stores. It’s about time a watch brand like us go to the next step of saying, ‘This is our world – come in and enjoy it’.”

Aeschlimann explains that the two boutiques embrace slightly different approaches to interacting with customers. The Central location has a more traditional storefront and customer service area on the first three floors but introduces “The Suite” on the fourth, complete with a lounge, cocktail bar, dining area and screening room. K11 Musea takes advantage of its harbour views, using a spiral staircase to take guests from a reception area to a second-floor bar and dining space complete with a watchmaking salon.
