Lingerie label Perk by Kate and art label Studio Qiling launch peachy CNY collection

Perk by Kate and Studio Qiling launch festive collection

There is no escaping the Chinese New Year collections that have begun flooding in.

Kicking things off is home-grown lingerie label Perk by Kate (PBK) and art label Studio Qiling, back in partnership for a second year running. The collaborative print for 2026 transforms peaches and fans into wearable art across printed bras, bra tops, scarves and kimonos.

The motif is built upon four festive symbols. Most prominently featured is the peach, an emblem of sweetness and longevity that also cheekily mirrors the natural fullness of the feminine body celebrated in PBK silhouettes.

Gold ingots, reimagined as seeds, symbolise abundance and prosperity. Leaves, woven through the print, symbolise renewal, vitality and a life that blooms continuously. And fans, traditionally linked with grace and nobility, represent elegance and good fortune.

The print comes in two colourways – Pink Peaches and Wine Peaches – found on the Mia Lucky Girl Padded Bralette ($69), Padded Crop Top ($89) and Cheeky bottom ($39).

Also featured in the collection is PBK’s first custom-embroidered lace. Named Lucky Girl Lace, this bespoke embroidery has delicately stitched the four symbols into fine lace, and appears on the Soft Bra ($89), Unwire Bra ($109) and Bikini bottom ($49).

With every purchase of $88, receive a complimentary set of limited-edition red packets ($29 for eight).

Jisoo-approved lip oils and perfumes from Dior Beauty

Luxury brand Dior’s first beauty launch of the year is almost too sweet to eat. Under its Dior Addict line are all-new perfumes ($120 for 30ml, $169 for 50ml) inspired by and shaped in the same style as the brand’s beloved Lip Glow Oils ($63).

Peter Philips, creative and image director for Dior Makeup, and Francis Kurkdjian, perfume creation director for Dior, came together to create a coordinated collection of bright, luminous lip products and irresistible perfumes.

A first for the brand, the Dior Addict Perfume comes in three scents: Peachy Glow, Rosy Glow and Purple Glow, composed with a gourmand yet youthful dimension and “that touch of French je ne sais quoi characterised by irreverence crossed with carefree, sensual youth”, said Kurkdjian in a press statement.

The Lip Glow Oil, with its pH-activated colour-changing technology, has also been given an upgrade – with cherry oil said to help lips stay hydrated for 24 hours. There are two fresh finishes, Sparkly and Glaze, and a total of 16 shades.

Brand ambassador and K-pop star Jisoo – one of three faces of the Dior Addict fragrances, alongside actress Anya Taylor-Joy and singer Willow Smith – posted pictures with the collection in end-December when the campaign was announced.
