Determinant arrives in Singapore
If you think all dress shirts are made equal, think again. Hong Kong-based, tech-forward menswear brand Determinant has officially arrived in Singapore, starting with a pop-up at Takashimaya's Level 3 Men's Department, and it is redefining what it means to dress smart.
One of the label's talked-about innovations is its 61-size dress shirt range, created to deliver a precise, almost bespoke-like fit.
Determinant's apparel is also powered by a suite of patented technologies – 1,947 to be exact – claiming to solve the daily discomforts of menswear. Think sweat-proof polos (Visdry), wrinkle-resistant cotton shirts (Wrinkle-Free DP 3.5), cooling tees (InstantCool) and garments that resist pilling and fading in high-friction zones (Regal Finishing).
Prices range from $45 to $150, covering everything from functional tees to elevated outerwear. Key pieces include the Visdry Dobby Dress Shirt ($80), Wrinkle-Free Classic Twill Dress Shirt ($80) and InstantCool Dobby Dress Shirt ($100) – perfect for Singapore's eternal summer and packed MRT rides.
Running until Aug 30, the 320 sq ft open-concept store has trained staff on site who are ready to guide you through the fitting experience. For those still undecided, Determinant is offering a no-questions-asked refund policy for purchases made in May.

Following a major renovation, Damai Spa at the Grand Hyatt Singapore hotel has reopened – and it is nothing short of a next-generation wellness sanctuary.
Enveloped in warm stone, soft light and water ripple textures, the redesigned space was conceptualised by Japanese interior design firm Nao Taniyama & Associates and features everything from salt steam rooms to hydrotherapy jets.
The Mind Body Wellness programmes comprise three new signature treatments – The Recovery, The Waves and The Awakening – that combine cutting-edge technologies such as infrared heat, vibroacoustic therapy and negative air ionisation.
Damai Spa's new suite of beauty and wellness treatments uses world-class spa technology from European spa manufacturer Gharieni.

The Recovery ($448++) is a 120-minute treatment using far-infrared heat, LED light and air ion therapy to deeply rest and energise the body, while The Waves ($438++) is a 120-minute sensory detox that uses sound and vibration to clear mental fog and tension.
Finally, The Awakening ($218++ for 60 minutes) is a mind-body reboot that taps meditative brainwave states to support better sleep and clarity.
All treatments are delivered using world-class spa technology from European spa manufacturer Gharieni and paired with potent marine-based products from Dutch wellness brand The|Tides, with more enhancements on the horizon before Grand Hyatt Singapore's full reopening in July 2025.
