All Things Women
Women – the personification of grace, selfless love, and ageless beauty. A woman plays many roles, giving their fullest to nurture and be the pillar of strength and support in many aspects of their lives. International Women’s Day is the day we celebrate women – their achievements and their efforts in all that they do.
This month’s issue, in commemoration of International Women’s Day, we focus on all things women. From luxury bags and jewellery brands to pole dancing, we explore how our brands at Downtown Gallery and Mandarin Gallery support and celebrate women in their own unique way. Women are also often personified as ageless beauty and grace, so we’ve also included recommendations from our malls especially for the ladies to find time to pamper themselves. (Psst – we might have also included some special promotions, so keep an eye out for that!) Read on to find out more!

Simone Pérèle

Lingerie is something that is exclusive to women and can represent a manifestation of empowerment. And when we talk about lingerie, Simone Pérèle is not to be left out of the conversation. How did their journey start? It all began in 1948 in a small workshop on rue de Montyon in Paris, where Madame Simone Pérèle’s legendary expertise was shown the light of the day. As a young corset-maker, Madame Simone Pérèle understood women’s desires – all women were beautiful to her; it was simply a matter of helping them to reveal their beauty. That was where she married aestheticism to well-being in her styles, and since then, she went on to create lingerie styles for women who are looking not just for elegance, but comfort as well. Their lingerie styles are designed to enable radiant beauty and empower women.
If you ever need a confidence boost, Simone Pérèle is here for you. Collection after collection, the Simone Pérèle label has created styles that embodied the differing forms of feminine beauty. Check them out today.
