DFS staff on dream urban escapes and hero pieces to pack
In edition two of our three-part series celebrating the art of escapism, we ask our staff members to divulge what city escape they’re planning for — or dreaming of — this summer. Warning: Wanderlust ahead.
“I dream of heading to Rio de Janeiro for carnival, for a celebratory spectacle where I can mingle with the millions! I’ll be embracing the fun, feel-good trend when it comes to my suitcase and opt for a bright, joy-inducing shade. I mean, why have a black suitcase when you can have something that stands out?”
— Adrian Lam, Assistant Merchandise Manager, Fashion
“Paris is my dream escape, forever and always, and I’ll do the city justice and go for glamor. The top beauty product I’ll be taking in my carry luggage is a vibrant red lipstick to apply as soon as we hit the tarmac.”
— Marion Guillet, Assistant Merchandising Beauty
“I’m doing a staycation in my home city of Hong Kong, but I’ll be embracing the holiday vibe with a spritz of citrusy fragrance that transports me to Portofino. Now all I need is an Aperol Spritz...”
— Jane Yip, Assistant Merchandising Beauty
“I can’t wait to go back to Tokyo and explore the vibrant fashion in Harajuku. I’ll be embracing a fun, feminine color-blocking trend and will opt for pink head to toe — yes, my belt, bag, and earrings, too. I’ll also be going bright with my eyeshadows and lipsticks, because if you can’t embrace color in Harajuku, where can you?”
— Amy Wang, Associate Manager, Planning, Fashion
“I’m usually wearing a smart watch, but there’s something about vacationing in a country known for its dapper style that makes me want to up my game. That’s why next time I go to Milan, I’ll be wearing a luxury timepiece rooted in classic codes. You’ll find me wandering the streets and lingering over a daily aperitif!”
— Echo Yi, Associate Merchandising Manager, Watches & Jewelry
