Here’s the rundown on the best of style this April 2025
Once again, style came in full force this month, offering an exciting array of fashion, beauty, and jewellery highlights. We had the opportunity to explore new collections, attend exclusive previews, and mingle with some of our favourite recurring faces in the Tatler sphere.
This month, the spotlight shone on homegrown fashion, as heritage-inspired brand Filip+Inna opened its doors to a two-day pop-up event in collaboration with jewellery designer Natalya Lagdameo and textile specialist Balay Ni Atong. Design duo Construction Layers also kicked off a three-month retail residency at Power Plant Mall’s Comme Çi.
Dive into our monthly round-up of style events, encounters, and other happenings that made April 2025 one for the lookbooks.
