Puma’s collabs with Pokemon and Jil Sander
From graphic streetwear to performance sneakers, sportswear brand Puma’s latest collaboration with Pokemon marks the pop-culture franchise’s 30th anniversary with a collection drawing on Espeon and Umbreon – the “Sun” and “Moonlight” Pokemons.
The collection focuses on relaxed, everyday pieces like T-shirts (from $59), hoodies ($109) and shorts ($79) featuring clean, minimal graphics, while oversized jerseys ($109) are finished with number prints referencing the two Pokemons.
There will also be a special launch from Puma Hoops – an All-Pro Nitro 2 ($199) basketball shoe in a Pikachu-inspired yellow colourway, with lightning bolt accents and custom details.

Meanwhile, Puma’s collaboration with Jil Sander continues with the launch of the K-Street, a low-profile sneaker designed with a close, contoured fit and an ultra-thin sole.
Designed by the Milan-based luxury fashion house’s creative director Simone Bellotti, the shoe combines elements from Puma’s archival H-Street running spike and karate footwear.
The unisex sneaker ($599) is offered in three finishes: perforated suede in matt bronze, beige canvas, and electric blue with contrast suede detailing. Co-branded elements are kept minimal, with Jil Sander lettering and Puma’s leaping cat logo placed subtly on the shoe.
The Puma x Jil Sander K-Street sneaker is available in multiple colourways in suede and canvas options.

Kosas launches Shiny Objects highlighter with wet-pressed formula
The Shiny Objects highlighter creates a soft, reflective sheen without appearing heavy on the skin.

US-based beauty brand Kosas has launched Shiny Objects ($51), a powder highlighter designed to give a sheer, light-reflecting finish without emphasising skin texture.
The formula uses a wet-pressed powder process, where wet and dry ingredients are combined to retain moisture. This allows the product to sit lightly on the skin, avoiding the chalky or glitter-heavy finish typical of some powder highlighters.
Shiny Objects does not contain silicone and talc, and is hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic and suitable for sensitive skin. It includes passion fruit extract, which helps moisturise and condition the skin.
Swatches of the five shades, designed to suit different skin tones.

Available in five shades to suit a range of skin tones, the dermatologist- and ophthalmologist-tested highlighter can be applied across multiple areas, including the cheeks, eyelids, inner corners of the eyes and collarbones. It can be layered over creams, liquids and powders, and applied with a brush for a softer effect or fingers for a more reflective finish.
Info: Available at Sephora stores and sephora.sg
