Daniel Boulud to open new rooftop restaurant, Terrace Boulud, in Hong Kong at Landmark Prince's in January 2026
The restaurant will be connected to Mandarin Oriental via an enclosed walkway, reinforcing the synergy between the hotel and Landmark's evolving retail and lifestyle ecosystem. The opening comes as part of Landmark's 'Tomorrow's Central' redevelopment, a US$1 billion transformation that will see over 100 food and beverage venues introduced across the four-building complex, including nine with outdoor terraces. Mandarin Oriental already operates 16 venues within Central and Landmark, and its partnership with Boulud is aimed at further engaging Landmark's top-tier clientele, including members of its Bespoke loyalty programme.
Construction is now underway, with more details on the team and launch plans expected later this year. For Hong Kong, Terrace Boulud represents a thoughtful entry by one of the world's most established chefs, bringing not just name recognition but a proven, adaptable approach to modern French dining, rooted in tradition, responsive to place and built to last.
'It is an honour for me to partner with Mandarin Oriental to bring Terrace Boulud to Hong Kong,' says chef Daniel Boulud in the official press release. 'I am endlessly inspired by the flavours and culinary variety of the region, which provides a wonderful interchange with French tradition. I look forward to welcoming our guests to explore it with me in such an iconic location.'

The Shape of Memory: Humberto Campana's Dreamwork with Louis Vuitton
For more than a decade, Humberto Campana's work with Louis Vuitton has drawn on the textures of Brazilian nature and the complexity of his inner world. His latest creations continue that delicate balancing act. In celebration of Louis Vuitton's formidable history of trunk-making, interior design, and artisanal innovation, the Louis Vuitton: Savoir Rêver event, convened at the Riverfront Financial Centre in Ho Chi Minh City, was a compelling showcase of the maison's heritage and craftsmanship. For Brazilian designer Humberto Campana, whose creations were among those exhibited in the Objets Nomades collection of limited-edition furniture and décor collaborations, the showcase marked another meaningful chapter in a career shaped by deep introspection and emotional depth. Above Brazilian designer Humberto Campana: 'All these things that I create are a kind of catharsis.' Visitors to the exhibition were invited into a narrative journey tracing Louis Vuitton's evolution from its beginnings in revolutionary trunk-making to its present-day identity as a purveyor of luxury lifestyle. Archival photographs and original artefacts, such as the iconic flat-top trunk designed for seamless travel by car, train, or ship, set the stage for the immersive experience. A striking highlight was the exclusive pyramid trunk, hand-painted with an evocative depiction of Vietnam's Halong Bay—a poetic tribute to the meeting of French craftsmanship and Vietnamese heritage. Anchoring the contemporary section was the Objets Nomades collection, where visitors could engage with tactile expressions of global design, such as Humberto Campana's Cocoon chair, the plush Bomboca sofa, and the lushly layered Bulbo chair. The tour concluded with a sparkling display of Louis Vuitton's high jewellery creations, featuring patented diamond cuts such as the Star Blossom and Marquise—each piece underscoring the maison's dedication to artistry, innovation, and storytelling. The Estúdio Campana pieces presented at the event stand amongst the most distinctive works to emerge from their long-standing partnership with Louis Vuitton; the works have won broad admiration as masterpieces of innovative form and function. Even in these bright moments of recognition and success, however, Campana remains grounded by a creative impulse that reaches inward as much as outward. 'I deal with a lot of shadow,' says Campana. 'I have a big gap, a dark side in my soul. So I need to bring my best in order to heal. All these things that I create are a kind of catharsis.' Read more: Louis Vuitton brings Savoir Rêver exhibition to Vietnam for the first time It's a thread that stretches back to Campana's earliest memories. Born with the gift of exquisite sensitivity in what he describes as the hyper-macho rural village of Brotas, Humberto and his younger brother Fernando were raised in a strict Italian Catholic household—one not especially attuned to artistic expression. From a young age, the brothers were drawn to a more poetic way of seeing the world. They found joy in the vibrant hues of nature and the dreamlike beauty of cinema at the local theatre. During Sunday mass, while the padre delivered his sermons, they were often mesmerised by the shifting shapes of sunlight and colour cast onto the floor through the stained-glass windows. When free to roam beyond the town, they would delight in discovering botanical wonders, recreating the scenography of the films they loved in the blush of petals and textures of leaves. 'It was an old generation that belongs to the past,' he says. But I'm still dealing with these beginnings. That's the way that I always come back to my childhood—by creating playful pieces that are very colourful, very happy.' Above Bulbo—a chair inspired by blooming tropical flowers, creating a sitting space that is both luxurious and cosy. The Campana Brothers creations on display at Savoir Rêver (perhaps whimsically translated as 'dreamskills') are striking examples of the brothers' work to craft beautiful innovations from the natural inspiration of the Brazilian countryside. The Cocoon hanging chair is an openwork fibreglass shell lined with calfskin, evoking the protective embrace of a butterfly's chrysalis. Suspended like a nest, it invites introspection and serenity, blending organic form with meticulous craftsmanship. The Bulbo chair, unveiled in 2019, resembles a blooming tropical plume flower, its layered petals crafted from Louis Vuitton leather and fabric, offering a luxurious and intimate retreat. Meanwhile, the Bomboca sofa, named after a traditional Brazilian confection, features modular, cloud-like cushions that assemble into a playful yet functional seating arrangement, reflecting the designers' penchant for combining comfort with imaginative design. Together, these pieces exemplify the Campana brothers' ability to transform natural motifs into innovative, dreamlike furniture that harmonises with Louis Vuitton's artistry and travel-inspired design. 'All of our pieces are inspired by nature,' explains Campanas. 'I love nature. I love to plant trees. I love to make drawings about microorganisms; yes, I'm very fascinated by this world.' Above Bomboca, a sofa named after a traditional Brazilian candy, impresses with a playful, imaginative yet functional design approach. Humberto Campana's love for the natural world is part of what attracts him to Asia, a region he associates with the character of grace and gentleness that was absent from his childhood. 'I feel at home here,' he sighs. 'I left the plane and I smelled the smell of Asia. There is a tenderness. A connection with spirituality, all these elements that make me feel relaxed.' This is his third visit to Vietnam; during a previous trip he was captured by a boat ride he took along the Mekong River, where he purchased a traditional folding bamboo chair to commemorate the experience. The piece reminded him of his own work with natural fibres back home. 'I think I am much more like an alchemist,' Campana explains. 'I love to transform things. Two years ago, I worked in India to create a cabinet made out of grass and brass. I also love to work with charcoal. Now I'm creating chairs in bamboo too, piling them, creating a very complicated structure. Our work is not minimalist, it's extremely complex. Like my soul, because I still don't know who I am today. 'More and more I want to focus on this, because natural elements heal you. It's a kind of calm. There is the smell of the wood, there is the colour of the grass. It brings a nice vibe to the ambience.'

At the heart of his practice is a desire to give back to his country, to his community, and to the natural world that has inspired him since childhood. His latest ambitions include establishing a foundation in the Brazilian countryside, where design, environmental education, and poetic beauty converge. 'It's a way to regenerate nature, to create workshops, and to share our journey,' he explains. The foundation will house a small museum celebrating the Campana studio's four-decade legacy, while also offering space for crafts, contemplation, and connection. 'I don't have kids. I'm not married,' he says. 'This is what I leave behind. It's something for my community.' In that gesture, as in so much of his work, Campana moves to resolve the emotional and material threads of his life into a force that heals, uplifts, and inspires. At the same time, Campana was searching for his own sense of self-worth. 'I love the studio. I love my people working with me, and I love creating things that people can use. Maybe it's a way to be seen, to be validated. Because my work goes into people's homes, and I feel welcome. 'I'm a very shy person, I don't have so many friends. I love to be alone. For me, it's wonderful to be in silence, and that's perfect. I need silence in order to create, to deal with my devils.'

What are luxury brands doing in the face of trade tariffs?
Above Maroquinerie de Louviers in Normandy is Hermès' 21st workshop (Photo: Hermès) Many high-end brands have also accelerated domestic production capabilities in the last few years. Whether these were in direct relation to imposed tariffs is unknown. For instance, LVMH has increased its European production capabilities, particularly for Louis Vuitton leather goods. Two new ateliers have opened in France in 2022 and increased hiring has been widely reported. Similarly, Richemont, Van Cleef & Arpels' parent company, has been investing in expanding its French manufacturing footprint for the jewellery brand, including plans to open two new workshops in France by 2026. This will create approximately 600 new jobs. In April 2023, Hermès opened a new leather workshop, Maroquinerie de Louviers, in Normandy. Since 2010, Hermès has opened 11 leather goods workshops in France. Read more: The Arnault effect: how LVMH defines global luxury, indulgence and desire TikTok manufacturing exposé Above Viral TikToks show luxury bags made in Chinese factories (Photo: Screenshot of TikTok) The trade tensions have sparked an unexpected cultural phenomenon that further complicates the luxury industry's narrative. In April 2025, Chinese manufacturers began flooding TikTok with viral videos claiming to expose the truth behind luxury goods manufacturing; factory owners present themselves as the original equipment manufacturers for major luxury brands while standing in front of walls of what appear to be expensive handbags. These 'Trade War TikTok' videos feature sales agents breaking down the material costs of luxury goods, claiming items like Hermès Birkin bags and Lululemon leggings cost just a fraction of their retail prices to produce. However, experts labelled many of these claims as false, noting that the videos represent a form of mass consumer disinformation rather than factual exposés; a well-oiled machine to sell high-quality counterfeit goods. Read more: The best quirky bag charms to Jane Birkin-fy your bag Diversification of materials Above Chanel known for its tweed, recently acquired a 35 per cent stake in an Italian silk manufacturing company () Perhaps the most intriguing development has been the acceleration of material innovation and diversification. Faced with unpredictable costs for traditional luxury materials, brands have invested in alternatives. Since its launch in 2001, Stella McCartney has been committed to using sustainable materials in its products, refusing to use leather, fur, skins, feathers or animal glues. It continues to lead in this area, with garments made from planet-friendly alternatives such as grape-based leather substitutes in partnership with Veuve Clicquot. The vegan leather is manufactured from 80 per cent recycled materials. Chanel has increased its use of French-produced tweeds and Italian silks. In April 2025, after 50 years of working together with Italian silk manufacturer Mantero Setamarketing in Como, Italy, it acquired a 35 per cent stake in the company. Chanel president of fashion Bruno Pavlovsky said before the brand's Cruise 2025-26 show, 'I always say that Chanel is half French and half Italian.' Read more: Kicks by Kibo: The Hong Kong brand making sneakers using apple waste The Asian manufacturing renaissance While Western and European brands adapt, Asian manufacturing hubs have proven remarkably resilient. China's luxury goods production has evolved beyond simple contract manufacturing toward full-service partnerships that include design, materials sourcing and even marketing support. Vietnam has emerged as a particular beneficiary, with leather footwear production increasing by 31.8 per cent since 2025. Bangladesh, traditionally associated with fast fashion, has made surprising inroads into luxury accessories. It is actively promoting its leather, footwear, and leather goods sector internationally and is recognised as a competitive sourcing destination for global buyers.

The Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) has facilitated smoother trade flows within Asia, allowing manufacturers to source materials regionally and maintain competitive pricing despite external tariff pressures. The rise of Asian luxury Above (Video: Shang Xia) Asian luxury brands themselves have turned trade tensions into competitive advantages. Chinese brands like Shang Xia (backed by Hermès) and Qeelin have emphasised their domestic heritage, appealing to both local pride and international curiosity about authentic Asian luxury. Japanese brands have been particularly strategic, leveraging their reputation for quality while maintaining manufacturing flexibility. Issey Miyake has expanded production capabilities in both Japan and selected Southeast Asian facilities, allowing the brand to serve different markets through optimal supply chain configurations. Read more: Chinese designer Yang Li is Shang Xia's new fashion director Strategic moves for luxury consumers Above Savvy luxury customers understand the industry shifts and are adjusting their purchasing decisions () For discerning buyers, understanding these industry shifts presents clear opportunities to maximise purchasing power while building more strategic collections. The most sophisticated consumers are already adjusting their approach to luxury acquisition. Savvy buyers are monitoring production cycles and tariff announcements to optimise purchase timing. Items manufactured before tariff implementations often remain at lower price points until inventory clears. Heritage pieces are also smart pieces to invest in. These items produced in the brands' traditional manufacturing bases are less susceptible to tariff-related price volatility. These pieces also tend to hold value better over time, making them superior long-term investments. As new luxury goods face pricing pressure from tariffs, pre-owned alternatives become comparatively more attractive, often offering items from periods when manufacturing costs were lower. Read more: The Tatler Guide to matching watches according to dress codes A new global fashion geography The long-term implications extend far beyond individual brand strategies. We're witnessing the emergence of a truly multipolar fashion industry, where production decisions are driven by sophisticated calculations that balance quality, cost, cultural authenticity and political stability. Smart luxury brands are treating this complexity as an opportunity rather than a burden. They're building supply chains that are not just efficient but also resilient, creative and aligned with evolving consumer values around transparency and sustainability. For investors and industry observers, the message is clear: the brands that will thrive in this new environment are those that view trade tensions not as obstacles to overcome, but as catalysts for innovation and differentiation. In an industry built on exclusivity and craftsmanship, the ability to tell compelling stories about provenance and production has become as valuable as the products themselves. The tariff era has fundamentally altered fashion's global calculus, but the industry's response suggests that adaptability remains its greatest luxury.
