On the collaboration, Mr Kennie Ting, director of ACM and Peranakan Museum, says: “ACM wishes to be part of the larger local fashion and creative community and ecosystem. We hope that our collection may be used as a resource for designers here, and that our rich pan-Asian, cross-cultural heritage may be the starting point for new explorations of what Singapore fashion and design could be.

Pearl speciality label Pearly Lustre's nine pieces ($88 to $288) - including earrings, necklace, and bracelets - are inspired by antique jewellery pieces from Asia, and given a fresh spin with pearls.

Founders Caroline and Wilson Tan started the brand to make pearls - once the preserve of royalty, the wealthy or elder women - a more inclusive gem that is not limited by age and class.
