In a time where luxury transcends material wealth, here's how UltraLuxe and CIMB empower individuals and independent creators to build lifelong legacies
A new era of luxury is emerging, one deeply rooted in purpose and a consciousness to give back and pay forward. Today, luxury is no longer measured solely in terms of material wealth or possessions. It's about the richness of experiences, the depth of connections, and the positive impact we have on the world around us. UltraLuxe’s ethos of niche luxury is for individuals to be champions of independent designers, artists, and creators who bring innovation and authenticity to the world.
Every designer, every creator has a journey filled with trials, triumphs, and an unwavering ambition to bring their visions to life. These tales endow us deeper understanding and appreciation of the artistry and craftsmanship that goes into every creation, thus empowering our choices and enriching our lives.
UltraLuxe, which took place from 13 to 22 October, brought together international and Singaporean independent designers and artisans with fashion-forward tastemakers. Visitors to UltraLuxe were able to meet with sought-after independent designers, watch-makers and style icons all in one place without flying all over the globe for this privilege.
Four Asean brands were showcased at Ultimate LuxeScape presented by CIMB Bank in recognition of the talents in the region. CIMB’s commitment to 'Legacy' mirrored the craftsmanship and dedication presented at the curated experience. Ultimate LuxeScape invited guests to explore the brands’ journey of craftsmanship and dedication–each with their own legacy story–as they reflect on their own.
Goodrich Global, a name familiar in the design scene for its quality interior furnishings, was the inspirational co-creator for Ultimate LuxeScape. From the plush carpets to the lush wall coverings, Goodrich’s curated wall coverings, fabrics, and carpets complemented the stories of human craftsmanship and ingenuity, with the aim to elevate guests' experiences and enrich their senses.
