Cop Kim Dami's preppy style as Yoon Ena in Nine Puzzles
Courtesy of Disney+ In crafting the zany world of South Korean mystery thriller Nine Puzzles , director Yoon Jong-bin wanted its lack of realism to come across. Whilst its plotline—surrounding the case of a serial murder mystery that picks up again 10 years later—might come across sinister, the actual tone of the drama feels novelistic. Like something that only happens in comic books. Kim Dami and Son Sukku play Yoon Ena and Kim Hansaem in Nine Puzzles. Courtesy of Disney+ To achieve this nuance, the artistic direction and overall aesthetic was carefully curated. Much attention was specifically paid to the sartorial sensibilities of its main characters, Yoon Ena and Kim Hansaem, played by Kim Dami and Son Sukku respectively. The latter, whose character is a determined detective who has yet to give up on the cold murder case from a decade back, has a defining trick: every time he removes his hat or beanie, things are about to get really serious. On the other hand, Kim's character, Ena, wears her eccentricity like a second skin. From murder suspect to brilliant criminal profiler, her meddling ways are elaborated through a deliberate wardrobe of preppy pieces, impeccable tailoring and statement accessories.

Courtesy of Disney+ 'She wears the necktie very often—a very important part of her outfit—and wears a lot of colours too. It's a little cartoonish in that way,' Kim tells Vogue Singapore. True enough, a spattering of neckties fill her closet, from leather options to uniquely patterned ones. Throughout the 11-episode narrative, she wears a range of outerwear, from preppy jackets to glossy bombers and strongly-shouldered plaid coats. Yet it's her flawless colour coordination that really gives Ena her sartorial flair; often mixing soft shades of blue with burgundy or bright reds. The use of reds especially, keeps suspense going through the episodes—her beloved crimson luggage becoming a key turning point in the midst of the puzzle-filled mystery. Yet of course, the one thing that bridges Kim with Ena is their shared love for Bottega Veneta. For how often the former has been seen in the front rows of the maison's shows, she certainly brought her sartorial inclinations into Ena's world: her trusty Cassette a mainstay throughout the show.

Inside Dubai's Listening Bars
In a city known for flash, Dubai's listening bars are doing the opposite—curated vinyl, precision sound, and spaces where music isn't the backdrop, it's the whole point. Dubai moves fast. But some corners of the city are slowing things down—on purpose. Enter the listening bar. A concept that originated in post-war Japan, the listening bar is part record library, part sound sanctuary. It's a space where the focus shifts from social buzz to sonic clarity—where music isn't the backdrop, but the reason you're there. Think high-spec analog systems, deep vinyl cuts, and an unspoken rule: listen first, talk later. Once confined to Tokyo's backstreets, the concept has travelled. First to San Francisco (where they're called HiFi bars), then further out—eventually landing in Dubai, where a small but distinct crop of venues is reshaping the city's late-night landscape. Here's where to find them... Honeycomb HiFi Pullman Dubai Downtown, Business Bay Located in Pullman Dubai Downtown, Honeycomb HiFi is the city's original listening bar. The vibe leans intimate—warm wood, soft lighting, Tokyo-laced interiors. The playlist ranges, but the experience remains consistent: sit back, lean in. Whether you're on a date with a fellow music obsessive or simply listening solo, this is where the groove gets taken seriously. Electric Pawn Shop The H Dubai, Trade Centre Owned by vinyl aficionado DJ Lobito Brigante, Electric Pawn Shop trades in high energy and eclecticism. The venue's aesthetic skews neon and underground, while the sound tilts toward soul, funk, golden-era hip-hop, disco, and genre blends that live in the pocket. It's not subdued, but the fidelity holds up. Expect a dancefloor, not a dinner party. Cassette Tucked inside The Courtyard, Cassette blends café culture with crate-digging cred. The selection is sharp—Little Dragon, Lauryn Hill, Jungle, The Fugees—and the space invites browsing as much as sitting still. Vinyl is both played and sold here, with the music folded into the rhythm of the café. Casual, but curated. Analog Room More institution than venue, Analog Room has been a mainstay of the UAE's underground since 2012. Founded by a collective of Iranian music heads, its original home in Q Underground gave local electronic culture a physical center. The venue may have closed, but the programming continues—pop-up sets, deep lineups, and a no-compromise sonic policy that outlives the location. VNYL DXB M Hotel Downtown, Business Bay VNYL trades nostalgia for atmosphere—red velvet lighting, hanging disco balls, a sonic palette that leans toward 70s and 80s soul, funk, and rock. Think David Bowie, Fleetwood Mac, The Doors. It's a little Vegas, a little Tokyo, and very much Dubai 2024. Records line the walls and are available for purchase. No velvet rope, just vibes. Record Room Dubai The Hills, Barsha Heights Record Room doesn't hide its intentions. Late hours (open until 3 AM), heavy analog visuals, and a strict 21+ entry policy signal that this isn't your average lounge. Disco balls, vinyl stacks, and a laser focus on sound make it a space where the setlist is everything. It's less about the hype, more about the atmosphere—exactly how it should be.
