SUCCESS

The Singapore Grand Prix 2025 has moved beyond a sporting event to become a stage for brands to merge luxury, lifestyle and high-octane energy. Across the city, global names are leveraging the race not only to release exclusive products — from capsule collections by Christian Louboutin and PUMA for Scuderia Ferrari to Singapore-exclusive fan tees from Adidas — but also to offer interactive showcases that bring fans closer to the world of Formula 1. Immersive pop-up experiences and collectible motorsport merchandise launches experienced through sensory experiences, driver appearances or hands-on activations illustrate how the Singapore Grand Prix has evolved into a platform for curated, collectible and experiential engagements that resonate with sporting enthusiasts and collectors alike.

The release underscores how contemporary luxury brands are leveraging the Grand Prix beyond being just a sporting event, but as a stage to create immersive, limited-edition experiences that resonate with collectors and enthusiasts alike.

Wally is a yachting brand known for doing things differently. From the avant-garde wallytender to its high-performance Wally class of sailing yachts, the builder that’s part of the Ferretti Group made its name in breaking moulds and re-inventing classics. So, it’s no surprise that when Wally waded into the waters of larger motoryachts, it would present models that make people stop and stare.

Following on the heels of the wallywhy200, Wally unleashed its 23.99m wallywhy150. Recently making her Asia debut at the Singapore Yachting Festival in April, the first wallywhy150 is now plying Asian waters.

“The wallywhy150 has been very well received in Asia, as clients appreciate the way this model redefines interior volume and exterior spaces,” said Andrew Pitchford, Sales Director of Ferretti Group Asia Pacific. “The unique wraparound glazing in the high bow gives a 270-degree panoramic view of the sea from the full-beam owner’s cabin, dining or lounge area, depending on the configuration.”

With in-house exterior design by Wally, naval architecture by Ferretti Engineering Group and interior design by Vallicelli Design Studio, the wallywhy150 was developed at the same time as the wallywhy200.

The team at Wally say that the brief for the yacht’s design was clear: create a sub-24m yacht that retained the iconic Wally DNA, delivering maximum liveability, usability and connection to the sea, all enveloped in a bold, futuristic package. It needed to feel like a superyacht in terms of volume and presence, offer seamless indoor-outdoor flow, and challenge conventions in both form and function – and be seaworthy and efficient.

The new offering was designed to distil the best of her big sister in a slightly smaller edition. Yet within her 150GT of volume, the wallywhy150 still packs in quite a lot, pushing the boundaries of what a sub-24m yacht can do. Key to this is the yacht’s full-beam main deck design.

“For the wallywhy range, internal volume is a crucial factor,” says Andrea Vallicelli, of the interior design studio. “To achieve this, a wide-body design was adopted, allowing for an extremely spacious saloon and owner’s cabin on the main deck, while still accommodating three cabins on the lower deck.”

A wraparound swath of glazing runs from the cockpit and around the entirety of the main deck, including across the front of the bow. This not only gives the wallywhy150 a distinct look on the outside, but, coupled with the wide-body layout, it also changes the way the yacht is lived in inside.

The standard layout features the master suite forward on the main deck, while the Asia-Pacific layout is designed with an airy saloon in this space, and a lower-deck master cabin. The forward room offers a panoramic view through the wraparound windows. Positioning the his-and-hers en-suite behind the bedroom bulkhead means not a centimetre of sightline is sacrificed.

“The interior was centred around preserving key features from her larger sibling, the wallywhy200, such as the iconic owner’s cabin at the bow, while introducing new design elements,” Vallicelli said. “One notable innovation was the lowered cockpit area, situated close to the sea, which necessitated a 75cm split level in the saloon to provide direct access to the sea without stairs.”

Views are maximised in the main saloon as well. Instead of a typical saloon layout with the sofas facing inwards, the sofa is specifically positioned to face aft, looking out over the lowered cockpit and the sea beyond. It’s a subtle change from the typical superyacht layout and makes a huge difference. When it’s time for a movie night, a television emerges from a low-slung sideboard that straddles the space between the sofa and cockpit.

The terrace-on-the-sea concept is ingrained in Wally’s DNA

“The saloon, which is split at the deck level, is unified at the ceiling level by a wave-shaped connection between the two heights,” Vallicelli said. “This design element not only serves a formal purpose but also allows the aft section of the saloon to reach a maximum height of 2.75m, enhancing the sense of volume upon entering the boat.”

The main deck living spaces can also be swapped around to best suit the owner. Multiple layouts were developed to cater to different markets while preserving the internal structure as much as possible. The ‘why’ in wallywhy stands for ‘Wally Hybrid Yacht’, but the hybrid refers not to the yacht’s propulsion system but to her flexible layouts and usage.

“Similar to the wallywhy200, the front cabin can be converted into a dining area to cater to the Asian market, resulting in a three-cabin layout,” Vallicelli explained. “Overall, the design prioritises simplicity of use and potential reconfiguration, with a strong emphasis on visibility and access to the exterior landscape and the sea.”

An uninterrupted flow from the saloon to aft deck enhances indoor-outdoor living. And when you’re down at near sea level on the expansive aft terrace, the wallywhy150 really shines.

Luca Bassani, Wally’s founder and Chief Designer, said: “The terrace-on-the-sea is as ingrained in Wally’s DNA as carbon-fibre. It was first introduced aboard Tiketitan, which had a main saloon below deck overlooking the open transom offering unique access to the sea.

“In 2012, the terrace-on-sea concept was reinterpreted for the first wallyace, which featured an aft owner’s suite and VIP cabin opening onto the terrace-on-the-sea. It’s something that has been there from the beginning – and was then carried over to the wallypower range – and it’s one of the key differentiators Wally has versus other boats, which is the feeling of connection with the sea.”

Also in keeping with the Wally family is the characteristic exterior styling. The wallywhy150’s angular pilothouse design is a direct reference to the famed geometric windscreen of the original wallypower118. While the design is reminiscent of previous Wallys, it’s a functional choice as well.

“Wally design always follows function, so the pilothouse’s angular design is a consequence of the T-top [over the flybridge] and is almost a happy coincidence,” Bassani said. “But when you use the same kind of shapes you end up with the same kind of solutions, and that’s also why we have chosen a similar colour to the 118. It’s a little bit of an homage to that iconic design.”

Carbon-fibre was used in the upper structures to reduce weight and lower the centre of gravity, enhancing stability and performance. An evolution of the wallywhy200 design, the wallywhy150 has a full-length flybridge, providing ample exterior space up top, which is mostly shaded by the T-top, and more shade structures can be added as needed. The sail-fabric T-top provides lightweight sun protection while preserving visibility.

Of course, fitting everything into the smaller wallywhy150 created design challenges that the Wally and Ferretti Group team had to solve creatively. One challenge was how to integrate the forward mooring system in the yacht’s more compact layout. To solve this, the forward mooring gear was relocated to the upper deck – an unconventional but efficient solution.

“To preserve the bow cabin on this sub-24m boat, we had to integrate the anchor chains into the interior design,” Vallicelli said. “Rather than concealing them behind a cover, we transformed this engineering feature into a decorative element.

The VIP and guest cabins on the lower deck have en-suite bathrooms

“The two oval columns visible from the bed serve as the minimum chain net-space with sound insulation thickness. Structurally reinforced, these columns enabled us to increase window visibility by removing an additional mullion on the glass.”

The hull of the wallywhy150 was developed by the Ferretti Group Engineering Department using advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to simulate hydrodynamic performance.

Optimised for efficiency and speed, the wallywhy150 offers a range of 370 nautical miles at an 18-knot cruising speed, allowing for amiable coastal cruising, and the yacht tops out at 23 knots with the standard-fitted triple Volvo Penta IPS1350 engines. The IPS system allows for ease of manoeuvrability and responsiveness, whether cruising or docking.

With nimble handling, the design DNA of a Wally, a wide-body build for spacious interiors, and a layout that’s designed to make the most of the views outside, the wallywhy150 will have you asking, why not?

Hello Sabina and Vincenzo! Could you tell me about the story of your favourite Pomellato creation?

Sabina Belli: I’m particularly drawn to our Nudo ring in deep blue London topaz. Beyond its obvious beauty, it represents everything Pomellato stands for: innovative stone-cutting techniques, unexpected colour combinations, and versatility. I’ve worn mine through board meetings and beach vacations — it adapts to every moment of my life. That’s the magic we strive for. And I love to stack it with other Nudo rings, chains, bracelets and bangles from the Iconica collection.

Vincenzo Castaldo: It’s really difficult to choose, to be honest. The Yellow Moon Diamond necklace from Collezione 1967 holds a special place in my heart. We found that perfect 12-carat old mine brilliant-cut fancy yellow diamond. Setting it on natural white gold encrusted with 825 white diamonds felt like capturing moonlight. But what makes it my favourite is the journey — working alongside our gem master Stefano Cortecci to find this special gem, watching our artisans bring this vision to life. It represents patience, passion, and the pursuit of the extraordinary, everything Pomellato stands for.

What does it mean to create and innovate for a jewellery maison that values having a “free spirit”?

S: It means challenging conventions while respecting craftsmanship.

V: Honouring tradition while constantly asking “what if?” Our free spirit is about having the courage to see jewellery differently. For me, this means pushing our master goldsmiths to explore new techniques, setting stones at unexpected angles, and combining colours that shouldn’t work yet somehow do. It’s about maintaining that delicate equilibrium between reverence for our craft and the audacity to reinvent it.

How do you embrace having a “free spirit” in your daily life?

S: For me, it’s about maintaining curiosity despite a packed schedule. I make time for spontaneous gallery visits, conversations with people outside our industry, and yes, occasionally taking the scenic route home.

Leadership requires structure, but innovation demands mental freedom. I protect space for both.

V: My free spirit manifests in how I observe the world. I have a curious mind. I might find inspiration in the curve of a staircase, the way morning light hits a building, or in conversations. I’ve learnt to cultivate flexibility, to view reality from multiple perspectives. Some days I’m in the archives, others I’m travelling to find new ideas. This freedom to move between worlds — art, architecture, craftsmanship — keeps my creativity alive.

Conversely, how has being in Pomellato inspired you to be free?

S: Launching Pomellato for Women remains my proudest achievement. When we started this initiative in 2017 for the brand’s 50th anniversary, supporting women’s leadership wasn’t just about corporate responsibility — it was about living our brand values authentically. We’ve always created jewellery for confident, independent women after all… Over the years, Pomellato for Women has become a platform that has transformed our vision into a global movement for gender equality, diversity and inclusivity. Every year, we create powerful video campaigns that give voice to women from diverse backgrounds to raise awareness about even the most uncomfortable issues, such as violence against women. Jane Fonda, the project’s patron, Cate Blanchett, America Ferrera, Sinéad Burke, Laura Dern, Lucy Hale, Mariska Hargitay, Nasim Eshqi, Valeria Golino, Lucia Annibali, and many others have contributed to telling unique stories of independence and courage, to inspire, to shake, and to build a better future.

The result is not just awareness, but an international community of women — and men — who share our values. Pomellato For Women has created a resonance far beyond the jewellery world, positioning us as a brand that has always stood by women, concretely supporting them on their journey to self-determination.

V: Creating Pomellato’s first high jewellery collection in 2020 and, since then, establishing the brand as a key player in the arena of high jewellery, a segment that continues to grow.

Pomellato’s entry into the high jewellery space is recent, but bold and undeniable significant. How has the direction evolved since the first collection?

S: We’ve moved from proving we belong in high jewellery to defining what high jewellery can be. Our initial collections established credibility; now we’re pushing boundaries. We’re introducing unexpected gems, playing with scale and proportion, and most importantly, ensuring wearability. High jewellery shouldn’t live in a vault — it should enhance women’s lives.

V: Our evolution in high jewellery has been like learning a new language while staying true to our core aesthetic codes.. We began by translating our DNA: chains, colour, volume. However, we’ve become bolder with each collection. Collezione 1967, our latest, is a manifesto written in gems and gold. We’re not trying to be traditional high jewellery — we’re defining what Pomellato high jewellery means.

For those who dream of being creative leaders, what beliefs or words have been your pillars of strength?

V: “Know the rules intimately — then choose precisely when to break them.” Also, cultivate curiosity relentlessly. Leadership in creativity isn’t about having all the answers — it’s about asking better questions. And remember: flexibility is strength. The ability to see from multiple perspectives, to pivot, to find inspiration in unexpected places — that’s what keeps you relevant and revolutionary.

Vincenzo, what do you think about jewellery’s increasingly inclusive, genderless trajectory? How will Pomellato position itself? 

V: This evolution feels natural for Pomellato — we’ve always designed for self- purchase, for personal expression. Our chains, particularly, transcend gender. They’re about attitude. When I see men wearing our pieces with the same confidence as women, it confirms what we’ve always believed: jewellery is about how it makes you feel, not [bound to] societal conventions.

Lastly, in an ode to Pomellato’s colourful gemstones, what are both of your favourite gemstones and why?

S: I love aquamarines and red tourmalines. I recently bought two fabulous Pomellato vintage rings from the Mora collection with these two varieties of gems. I adore them.

V: Perhaps my deepest love is for unusual stones — those with inclusions that tell stories, irregular cuts that catch light unexpectedly. At Pomellato, we celebrate these “flaws” as character. Like people, the most interesting gems are rarely the most perfect ones.

You may not know it yet, but your horoscope just connected you with your sunglasses soulmate. Forget about having to shop in-person or endlessly scroll online for frames, the stars aligned and already picked out your next vibe. In 2025, tinted sunglasses are no longer a “maybe” accessory. They’re front-row fashion, TikTok-approved, and street-style certified. Everyone from cool-girl influencers to actual celebs is trading in dark lenses for colorful moods, and it just so happens your zodiac knows exactly which shade should be perched on your nose.

Here’s the cosmic rundown, sign by sign. Spoiler alert: you’re about to look very on trend.

Aries: Fiery Red

Always first in line, always first on the dance floor. Aries, your tint is red, unapologetic and attention-grabbing. Sporty aviators with crimson lenses are basically your power move, whether you’re leading the pack at work or turning heads at brunch. Red shades say, “Yeah, I’m here. What are you going to do about it?”

Taurus: Luxe Green

Ruled by Venus, you have a thing for beauty and comfort. Enter: green lenses. Soft jade or moss tones feel earthy but indulgent, perfect for your aesthetic of quiet luxury. Imagine you in square green-tinted frames, strolling through a farmer’s market with a latte in hand. Peak Taurus energy.

Gemini: Sunshine Yellow

Witty, restless, and the life of every party, Gemini lives in technicolor. Yellow tints are your perfect partner in crime, playful, a little mischievous, and impossible to ignore. Round yellow lenses practically scream “main character energy.” You’ll wear them with three different outfits this week, and they’ll work with all of them.

Cancer: Cool Silver

Soft shell, tender heart. Cancers need sunglasses that double as emotional armor. Enter silver and gray tints. They’re protective without being harsh, reflective without giving away too much. Pop on a pair of gray aviators and you’re wrapped in a chic little bubble of calm, but still totally fashion.

Leo: Amber Gold

Leos don’t just walk into a room; they arrive. Your perfect shade is golden amber, radiant and warm, just like you. Cat-eye frames with amber lenses? That’s star power in accessory form. These aren’t sunglasses, darling, they’re your spotlight.

Virgo: Timeless Brown

Ever the perfectionist, Virgo prefers style with staying power. Brown lenses are elegant, functional, and the definition of chic understatement. Picture minimalist metal frames with a classic brown tint, they work at the office, at Sunday brunch, and basically everywhere you’ve scheduled yourself to be.

Libra: Blush Pink

Romantic, charming, and a little flirty, Libra gravitates toward rose-tinted everything. Pink lenses strike that perfect balance of dreamy and chic, especially in a translucent frame. These shades whisper “date night,” but they’re also the move for a fashion-week street-style snap.

Scorpio: Deep Purple

Mysterious, magnetic, a little intimidating. Scorpio, your aura is basically a dark filter, so why not make it fashion? Purple lenses are dramatic without being loud, powerful without even trying. Oversized plum frames are your secret weapon: they’ll have everyone asking, “Who’s that?”

Sagittarius: Bold Orange

Adventure? You’re in. Last-minute plans? Already packed. Sagittarius needs a lens that’s as bold as your calendar. Orange tints are fearless and fun, radiating optimism. Paired with aviators, they give major festival-in-Marrakech vibes. Warning: people might start following you around just to see what you do next.

Capricorn: Sharp Black

Capricorn knows one thing: timeless never fails. Black tints are sleek, professional, and effortlessly cool, exactly like your personal brand. They’re the sunglasses you wear straight from the boardroom to after-work cocktails. Minimal effort, maximum impact.

Aquarius: Electric Blue

Aquarius is always two steps ahead of the trend cycle. Naturally, your match is blue lenses,futuristic, refreshing, and a little bit rebellious. Think geometric frames with icy blue tints, serving “I don’t follow trends, I start them.” Which, let’s be honest, you do.

Pisces: Lavender Dream

Pisces, you’re basically a walking daydream. Try lavender lenses to capture your soft, imaginative aura. Pair them with round frames and suddenly the whole world looks like a hazy music video. Ethereal, romantic, slightly impractical, just like you.

The Cosmic Takeaway

Tinted sunglasses aren’t just about blocking the sun. They’re about setting a vibe. The right shade doesn’t just flatter your face, it amplifies your aura. And this year, the stars are aligned with the runway: color lenses are everywhere, from Soho sidewalks to Milan catwalks.

So, what’s your sign’s shade? Find it in the 20+ Vooglam tints and let your sunglasses do the cosmic talking. Because in 2025, your horoscope isn’t just written in the stars, it’s written in your eyewear.
