South Korean band NCT 127 fronts Puma's A/W'23 campaign
Looks like K-Pop fever isn't subsiding anytime soon! Puma brand ambassador NCT 127 fronts the campaign for Fall Winter 2023 (FW23) Army Trainer collection and we're loving it.
With origins in the German armed forces of the 1970s, the Army Trainer is a style that has truly stood the test of time. This re-issue of the vintage icon from the archives oozes timeless appeal thanks to the same leather upper with a suede toe overlay as the original. Featuring a rubber sole for traction and an all-leather body for comfort, this shoe will become your go-to for everyday wear.
Besides the shoes, NCT 127 is spotted wearing the Puma Team Graphic Tee, Hoodie, Crew Neck Sweatshirt, Sweatpants, and Shorts.

Hotel Telegraph celebrates first anniversary with a curated series of heritage tours and cultural experiences
To celebrate its first anniversary on 28 September 2023, Hotel Telegraph has curated a series of activities for guests to immerse themselves in Singapore’s heritage and culture. Working with a local historian, the hotel aims to initiate heritage tours that pay homage to our country’s beginnings. As part of this initiative, Hotel Telegraph invites guests to embark on an intriguing walking tour to surrounding places steeped in nostalgia. The route for travellers begins at the hotel’s 1927 building, which survived bombings from World War II, before continuing to the Civilian War Memorial, passing through Lau Pa Sat, Cavenagh Bridge and Esplanade Park.
Working with Lion Brewery Co, the hotel will also take the heritage tour group on an educational microbrewery tour at the brewlab, which is also located in a heritage building. Built in 1928, the art deco style building used to house printing and bookbinding businesses on the ground level with residences above. At the end of the tour, guests will also have the chance to savour six refreshing craft beers, brewed perfectly for the Southeast Asian climate.
