UltraLuxe 2024, Asia’s foremost festival of niche luxury, returns to Singapore from Oct 4 to 13. Held at the Tent@ Ngee Ann City Civic Plaza, this third iteration brings together a curated selection of niche luxury experiences, from installations and runway shows to panel discussions and masterclasses.
UltraLuxe 2024’s flagship exhibition will be presented in three parts: JewelLuxe, Homme and Advocacy, bringing together over 120 word-class jewellery, fashion, spirits, watches, leisure and living style brands from around the world.
The prestigious 10-day event is anchored by Jeweluxe (Oct 4 to 8), a sparkling showcase of haute joaillerie featuring over US$200 million worth of rare, investible gems from independent jewellery houses and designers worldwide.
This year’s Jeweluxe spans four distinct themes. The Protagonist makes its debut offering fine jewellery based on mindful practices, sustainable sourcing, and responsible craftsmanship – marking its first showcase in Singapore after its last run in New York. Gemagical captivates collectors with rare and unique gems transformed into works of art by top jewellery houses such as Alexander Laut and Caratell; while the Modernissimo segment stuns with cutting-edge designs from iconic European names like Fope and Akillis. The Nouveau Asia theme celebrates local talents, highlighting Simone Jewels and Calla Lily with their distinctive design narratives.
A new addition to Jeweluxe this year, Style Inc, elevates everyday jewellery into fashion-forward pieces, spotlighting trendy, wearable designs from labels like Bakhache (Australia) and Faipo (Hong Kong). Finally, Glamora added a dash of high-octane glamour, featuring time-honored iconic pieces by indie designers that have stood the test of time.
