SkyAvenue – A Fashion Haven

There’s simply lots to see and savour at SkyAvenue, the latest attraction at Resorts World Genting. Opened to the public last December, this stylish lifestyle mall status boasts of all kinds of trendy things that mark the height of sophistication. Yesterday, a fashion show featuring the latest collections of all the jewellery and timepiece tenants at SkyAvenue was the highlight of the day.

Guests of the event rubbed shoulders with celebrities while enjoying the sensational fashion show featuring renowned brands amid a cocktail session, lucky draws and goodie bags. Former Miss Malaysia Nadia Heng was the vivacious emcee of the event and effortlessly made everyone feel at ease. The participating brands are Thomas Sabo, Tissot, Lazo Diamond, Calvin Klein and Timekeeper, while makeup is by Shizens, and apparels are by Esprit and G2000.

Lucky draw prizes for guests include hotel stay at Resorts World Langkawi and Hotel on the Park, and food vouchers from Coffee Terrace and Motorino—the latter being among SkyAvenue’s list of tenants that includes famous international F&B brands.

Thomas Ng, Resorts World Genting’s Senior Vice President of Theme Park & Tenancy says, “The resort sees the beginning of a new chapter with SkyAvenue, its first full-fledged lifestyle mall—and this new era is one that is filled with many exciting programmes and events. Today’s fashion show is a just a glimpse of more to come.”

According to Ng, the mall is family-oriented and caters to people from all walks of life. “Whether you are here for business or leisure, you will find many things that meet your needs and fulfil your desires. There is variety and vibrancy; this is where you get to follow the latest lifestyle trends, engage in networking, indulge in amazing F&B, and enjoy a sense of togetherness with family and friends,” he adds.

Latest collections in the limelight

G2000 showcased their Autumn collection and Esprit’s Winter collection. Among the main highlights is Thomas Sabo’s new jewellery statement for Autumn/Winter 2017 that connects two central themes: yearning for the faraway and love of the familiar. Avant garde looks, filigree diamond jewellery, elegant sterling silver essentials, and items of jewellery that can be personalised with engraving are what we can expect from the brand.

The collections for 2017 are namely Together, Essentials, Royalty, Mini Chakras, Tree of Love, and Rebel at Heart. There are also Power necklaces and bracelets inspired by Buddhist Mala prayer beads.

The new designs from Calvin Klein are equally impressive, from CK Boost to CK Chic to CK City—the last comprising two distinctive sets. CK Boost is spiritual, bold, symmetric and masculine; the timepiece of stainless steel and black PVD combination comprising a pendant, three bracelets, cufflinks and ring.

CK Chic is a sublime eye-catcher and a beauty in simplicity; finished with a mirror, black or white dial, and satin strap or stainless steel bangle. CK City for men, on the other hand, is timeless and iconic. Available in black, silver or grey dial, it is paired with stainless steel, pink gold PVD, brushed PVD grey or PVD coffee face—coupled with a classic black leather strap.

Tissot’s new designs are breathtakingly lovely as well. There’s Tissot Chrono XL Quartz with stainless steel bracelet; it is characterised by a big case that has a diametre of 45mm. For a sporty look, opt for Tissot’s T-Touch Expert Solar, a water-resistant timepiece that comes complete with titanium, PVD coating and sapphire crystal.

For ladies, Tissot’s T-Wave offers the simplicity of a pure dial with a satin effect. Or they can opt for a touch of design with a discreet yet elegant ribbon complete with a mother-of-pearl or satin face. There are also two designs for the Chemin des Tourelles collection—for him and her.

Charriol’s new collections for Baselworld 2017 are as impressive as the other timepieces, jewellery and accessories by the Swiss brand. Two models with gemstones take St Tropez glamour to new heights—a green Tsavorite variant and an opulent piece set with white sapphire.

The greenlight variant is set with lovely Tsavorite stones on the bezel and lugs. In 35mm size, the stones certainly make a luxurious statement, offset by the silvery tones of the stainless steel twisted cable strap that makes up Charriol’s signature motif. The St Tropez collection is a glamorous feminine collection inspired by the chic city of Paris.

The world of Pandora continues to woo us—this time with its breathtaking designs like the Cascading Glamour Chandelier earrings that highlight sterling silver and zirconic stones. Inspired by Pandora Heart, a new Hearts of Pandora series has been introduced, featuring new band rings in sterling silver, Pandora rose and 14K gold.

There’s also Pandora’s Moment Open Bangle, a versatile carrier in a contemporary form in a choice of interchangeable caps—minimalist polished or glittering pave.
