Bottega Veneta exits all social media platforms
Bottega Veneta raises the question: is exiting social media the new 'it' thing?
Last year, brands — from fast fashion to high street to luxury — did their best efforts to stay afloat despite the uncertainties brought by the pandemic. A big contributor to making it happen was through digital media. However, it looks like 2021 is off to a different start, at least for Bottega Veneta, which exited all their social media platforms. There are speculations about whether or not this is where luxe fashion is headed in the ‘new normal’ in terms of exclusivity. What do you think of this bold move?

The device will be available in Singapore in major electronics and IT stores, as well as Samsung’s official LAZADA and Shopee online stores starting 9 January.
People's mixed reactions about MAC x The Sims latest collab
MAC Cosmetics’ tie-up with the popular world-building game The Sims was met with mixed reviews. The collaboration entailed an "exclusive" eyeshadow palette that can be enjoyed both in-game (during character customisation) and in real life (an actual product).
However, people were quick to sound off that the palette looked like it was just rebranded from a palette that has been discontinued. MAC confirmed the speculation and said in a statement to Nylon that they decided to pull out a "fan-favourite" palette from their archive, which they believe would appeal to different people. This was, they said, in order to champion inclusivity. What is your take on this?
