From Shiseido’s skincare grail to & Other Stories’ colourful Sindiso Khumalo collaboration, see what’s new at the shopping destination
Spring is a time of change and possibilities. Aptly, Ion Orchard welcomes the season with a dose of newness, from the launch of irresistible deals for its faithful shoppers to enjoy, to the unveiling of its very own Waterfall Garden.
The latter can be found in all its blooming glory right outside the mall, along the stylish stores of Louis Vuitton, Dior and Tiffany & Co. The centrepiece of the installation is a six-metre-tall waterfall—the tallest of its kind for a mall along Orchard Road. Ion Orchard’s Waterfall Garden makes the perfect backdrop for photos in the day, but over the weekend evenings is when it truly comes alive. You can expect to be dazzled by a sensorial light show, complete with music, between 7pm to 9.30pm on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
