Featuring special Orbit sneakers from Bottega Veneta and bold bomber jackets from Kenzo.

It&rsquo;s the start of 2024 but sometimes it doesn&rsquo;t quite feel like the new year is truly upon us till we celebrate the <a href="https://www.hommessingapore.com/style/whimsical-charming-world-behind-dior-x-otani-workshop-collection" title="The Whimsical and Charming World Behind Dior x Otani's Workshop Collection" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lunar New Year</a>. This year is the Year of the Dragon, the fifth animal in the Chinese zodiac. Think of powerful ambition, tenacity and innate intelligence. So when you&rsquo;re out this month hunting for fresh looks to wear to your distant relative&rsquo;s house for visiting, channel the strength of a dragon with these new collections.&nbsp;
From clothing to shoes and accessories, impress your relatives this Lunar New Year by embracing the festive spirit with your style. For the more daring sort or the type who prefers quiet, timeless pieces, these eight collections have it all.

PUMA

Step into the Lunar New Year with <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/fashion/ive-puma-asia-ambassador-kpop-teveris-nitro-sneakers-streetwear" title="IVE, the K-pop Sensation, Joins Forces with PUMA to Embrace the Y2K Trend" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Puma</a>&rsquo;s special BLKTOP Rider, the perfect casual sneaker for any festive outfit. The chunky sole sits against the clean red lines that run across the shoe, for a decidedly modern take on a retro shape. The other pieces from Puma&rsquo;s festive collection are inspired by Tibetan symbols and motifs, for a subtle cultural ode.&nbsp;

KENZO

The bold language spoken by <a href="https://www.hommessingapore.com/style/kenzo-x-levis-collaboration-collection-nigo-fashion-news-details" title="KENZO Partners with Levi's to Affirm Denim's Timeless Expression" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kenzo</a> has been taken up a notch this year, as emboldened by the symbol of the dragon. In the collection with men&rsquo;s, women&rsquo;s and gender-neutral styles, <a href="https://www.hommessingapore.com/style/kenzo-fall-winter-2023-campaign-with-seventeen-vernon-nigo-fashion-streetwear" title="Kenzo's Fall/Winter 2023 Campaign with Seventeen's Vernon is an East-Meets-West Fusion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kenzo</a> transforms the dragon into a graphic style reminiscent of the &lsquo;80s, along with the number 8 &ndash; Chinese culture&rsquo;s luckiest number which represents making a fortune. Bomber jackets, tees and jeans are all fitted with the prosperous animal, so you can be fully decked out this year.

Corum Watches

For a more subtle nod to the Year of the Dragon, opt for these limited edition timepieces from Corum in their Bubble collection. Each in limited runs of 88 (yet another nod to good fortune), the two timepieces come with the collection&rsquo;s distinct dome-shaped crystal over the watch face for an oversized look. The Bubble Dragon watch features a golden dragon bursting into the night sky, complete with a Mother of Pearl moon.

Emporio Armani

As seen on Chinese actor and Emporio Armani global ambassador Jackson Yee, the brand&rsquo;s dragon-themed collection features intricate embroidered depictions of the animal. In bright vermillion and refined ebony, the pieces from Emporio Armani embody the passionate energy and tenacity of the dragon, in sleek styles that will surely provide all-day comfort as you fill up on delicious LNY treats.

Bottega Veneta

For an elevated fit this Lunar New Year, <a href="https://www.hommessingapore.com/living/radical-thinker-architect-artist-and-designer-gaetano-pesce" title="Radical Thinker: Architect, Artist and Designer Gaetano Pesce" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bottega Veneta</a>&rsquo;s collection is not to be missed. Starring Taiwanese actress and newly-minted brand ambassador Shu Qi, the brand&rsquo;s campaign, titled The First Sunrise with You, embraces the feelings of starting a fresh new chapter with our loved ones close. Of the offerings from the collection, we especially love the new colourways on the Orbit sneakers, for a festive twist on your toes.

Golden Goose

Fronted by global brand ambassador of Golden Goose William Chan, Golden Goose&rsquo;s festive collection combines the traditional motifs of the dragon with the modern peach fuzz shade, Pantone&rsquo;s Colour of the Year for 2024, on their classic sneakers and ready-to-wear pieces. The limited Ball Star and Super-Star styles feature the muted apricot shade, with illustrations of a dragon, birds and plum blossoms all over, paying homage to traditional Chinese symbols of good luck.

BOSS

Combining the traditional art of Chinese calligraphy with the symbols of wealth and prosperity, <a href="https://www.hommessingapore.com/style/lee-min-ho-boss-fall-winter-2023-campaign-maluma-gigi-hadid-suki-waterhouse-celebrity-fashion" title="Lee Min-ho, Maluma and More Front BOSS' Star-studded Fall/Winter 2023 Campaign" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BOSS</a>&rsquo; capsule collection for the New Year taps renowned novelist and calligrapher Feng Tang. Twin dragons dance and travel through jade discs, and circle the BOSS logo in a mystical interpretation of historic motifs. From collegiate-style baseball jackets to casual knit pieces, this capsule collection captures the essence of comfy chic.

MCM and BAPE

If you&rsquo;re looking for something even more unique, look to this special collaboration between MCM and A Bathing Ape that combines genderless streetwear with the sensibilities of the German luxury house. A golden dragon adorns the distinct BAPE STA logo on classic styles from MCM like the Boston bag and handheld pouch, for an unapologetically confident swing into the new year. The playful collection is for the bold dressers, unafraid to step it up this Lunar New Year.
