US-based ex-model Hanis Hussey at 60: ‘I've grown to appreciate Singapore's order and stability'
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox Former supermodel Hanis Hussey at her home in Dallas, Texas. She moved there in 2016 because of her American husband's job. SINGAPORE – At 18, Hanis Hussey was the first Singaporean model to walk the runway of Paris Fashion Week when she closed the fall/winter show of French label Yves Saint Laurent in 1983. The statuesque teen was even handpicked to be the muse of fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent and became the in-house model for his eponymous brand. Her international career took off and she strutted the catwalks of Paris, Milan and Tokyo, working with luxury fashion houses like Givenchy, Balmain, Christian Dior, Valentino and Versace. In 1997, she graced the cover of Time Magazine Asia as a model for an article on anti-ageing scientific innovations. That year, she retired from modelling to spend time with her two daughters and son. Her American husband Steven Hussey, 68, works in aviation. Hanis Hussey moved to Dallas, Texas, in 2016 because of his job. She went on to become a sleep coach, and in 2020, joined American sleep wellness company Somnvie Luxury Bedding, selling bedroom essentials such as pillows and bedsheets. She also hosts sleep wellness talks and runs a mobile bedding concierge service. Her three children – Chris, 36; Nicole, 31; and Lisa, 28 – are married and have settled in California. She is also grandmother to Nicole's three children – Alaia, nine; Mason, two; and three-month-old Theodore. Hussey, who turns 60 on Aug 16, will be celebrating her birthday milestone in San Diego, California, where she will be relocating to in 2026. Former supermodel Hanis Hussey now hosts sleep wellness talks and runs a mobile bedding concierge service. PHOTO: COURTESY OF HANIS HUSSEY What is your core memory of Singapore? I commissioned a custom painting from Singapore artist Sunar Sugiyou just before I relocated to Texas. Coincidentally, he was my childhood neighbour in our kampung in Jalan Mashhor, near the Singapore Polo Club. I asked him to paint a scene that captured that part of my life – playing outdoors with the neighbourhood kids and moments with my grandparents. He nailed it. Every detail was spot on – the energy, the setting, the spirit of that time. It became the most precious piece of art I own. The painting hangs in my dining room and is often the centrepiece of conversations around the table. It is more than art; it is my core memory of Singapore brought to life on canvas. What do you consider your biggest contribution to Singapore? Representing Singapore internationally during my younger years as a model, especially in places like Paris. It was a true honour. Whether it was on the runway or in public appearances, I always carried the Singapore name with pride. That pride hasn't faded – it is still with me today. Hanis Hussey with the 1997 issue of Time Magazine Asia featuring her on the cover. PHOTO: THE NEW PAPER What do you love or hate about the country? I love the food, efficiency and multicultural harmony, and Singapore's incredible spirit of innovation. If there's one thing I found challenging living in Singapore, it's the constant pressure to keep up – the fast pace of life and the drive for perfection can be overwhelming . But after living in the US for the past eight years, I've grown to appreciate Singapore even more, especially its law, order and stability. What is one thing you miss about the Singapore of your childhood? Running barefoot in the kampung, celebrating Hari Raya and Malay weddings, sharing food with neighbours and the carefree spirit of community life. I often tell these stories to my nine-year-old granddaughter. Her eyes would light up with curiosity. She even asked me to speak at her school for International Day in 2026, about what life was like growing up in a Singapore village. That really touched me. What is the best and worst thing about being 60? Former supermodel Hanis Hussey hosts sleep wellness talks and runs a mobile bedding concierge service. PHOTO: COURTESY OF HANIS HUSSEY Honestly, I never quite remember my age until National Day comes around; I just follow Singapore's age. The best thing? The confidence and clarity that come with experience. I know who I am. The worst? Let's just say the knees don't bounce back like they used to. But overall, I feel strong, grateful and excited for what's to come. SG60's theme is Building Our Singapore Together. What would you like the Singapore of the future to look like? I love this year's theme, it is so powerful. It reminds me of the unity and shared vision that truly set Singapore apart. I'd love to see a future Singapore that places as much value on emotional and mental wellness as it does on academic and financial success. I hope to see a Singapore where the next generation feels safe, heard and supported in every way – mind, body and spirit. And what does your next era look like? It will be purpose over pressure. I want to travel more, spend quality time with my children and grandchildren, and create meaningful connections. I hope to leave behind not just products, but also stories, wisdom, kindness and inspiration, especially for anyone ready to start afresh, no matter their age.

Why Marrakech Should Be Top Of Design Lovers' Travel Bucket Lists
Marrakech's most aesthetically exquisite rental property opened this year, located just a short car ride outside the bustle of the city center. Manou Fatima Dozens of designers have dreamed over the colors, patterns and architecture that define Marrakech. These include the iconic French fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent and American interior designer Bill Willis. In the 1960s, the duo and their laid-back bohemian crowd roamed the streets and souks for inspiration. Today, the Moroccan city is still a treasure trove of maximalist design, unfettered by modern trends or homogenous international styles. Here's how to seek out a feast for the eyes in Marrakech this summer, visit Yves Saint Laurent's eye-popping garden inspiration, and sleep in sumptuous style in a newly-opened Bill Willis-designed property. The warren-like souks in the heart of the city are a mine of joyous, idiosyncratic design. While several stores and stalls have now popped up selling designer imitations and made-in-China mass-produced goods, real quality is still easy to find. A maze-like tangle of narrow alleyways that are shared by tourists/shoppers, bikes, motor bikes, donkeys and carts, lined with souks (markets) selling everything from glass to brass to silver, rugs and leather goods, spices galore and more getty Carpets are a must-have, and where better than the workshop favored by Yves Saint Laurent himself. Dar Haram Cheekh No. 17 is hidden down a dark passageway hung with rugs. In the dim interior, you pick your way between haphazardly stacked, floor-to-ceiling piles of carpets like a labyrinth. It's no hardship to while away a few hours here, sifting through the endless variety of material, texture and pattern. If you love bold color, make sure the gardens of Marrakech that Yves Saint Lauren described as 'an endless source of inspiration' are on your itinerary. Located in an elegant, residential area of the city, the Jardin Majorelle was created over the course of 40 years by French Orientalist artist Jacques Majorelle, starting in 1923. Majorelle conceived of this one-hectare walled oasis as a sanctuary and botanical 'laboratory', cramming it with exotic specimens from far-flung corners of the world. Located in an elegant, residential area of the city, the Jardin Majorelle was created over the course of 40 years. getty In 1980, Yves Saint Laurent and his business partner Pierre Bergé, who first arrived in Morocco in 1966, purchased the garden to save it from hotel developers. Now, it consists of a maze of pathways ensconced in foliage and a boldly-coloured Cubist villa designed by French architect Paul Sinoir in the 1930s. Sleep In A Bill Willis-Designed Dream Property Marrakech's most aesthetically exquisite rental property opened this year, located just a short car ride outside the bustle of the city center. Casa Memoria is a private oasis of refined Moorish architecture, botanical gardens, and quietly decadent living. The villa was designed by Tunisian architect Charles Boccara, who grew up in Morocco, and was finished by Bill Willis, an American aesthete who emigrated to Morocco. The Suite Ocre is filled with intricate Moroccan furnishings. Manou Fatima The six suites, lounges, dining room, courtyards, and pool house are all defined by Bocarra's architectural whimsy and the free-spirited elegance of Willis' interior design. The first-floor master Suite Royale is a lesson in opulence, with hand-sculpted ceilings, a majestic zellige fireplace, and a hammam-inspired emerald green bathing chamber. Next door is the optional adjoining Suite Jaune d'Or bathed in the golden tones of Marrakech's desert sands, where elephants march around ceilings in sculpted relief. The first-floor master Suite Royale is a lesson in opulence. Manou Fatima Downstairs, the Suite Ocre is another standout, steeped in a sensual delight of Oriental ruby tapestries, soft lighting and Berber-style Moroccan furnishings. French doors open onto the arcaded ochre-hued portico filled with wicker furniture and cascading greenery. Beyond it is a three-hectare haven of silvery olive trees, luxuriant Washingtonia palms, and lawns where peacocks wander freely. Across the garden, a pool and graceful pavilion are fringed by trees. French doors open onto the arcaded ochre-hued portico filled with wicker furniture and cascading greenery. Manou Fatima Guests rent out the full estate, which includes a dedicated majordomo, private chef, and housekeepers. The team can tailor meals according to guests' preferences, from sunrise breakfasts in the garden to intimate candlelit dinners. They can also throw lavish parties with DJs and fire dancing, organize excursions into the desert for camel rides or quadbiking, and book yoga and stretching sessions in the grounds.

Cocaine, an Xbox and smoked duck: The man who could smuggle anything into prison
With his socks pulled up and slides on his feet, a Real Madrid flag on the wall behind him, Samy R. posed happily for the photo, as if to say: "Welcome to my cell." The picture was taken in his cell in the winter of 2023, with the door open in the background. He was hugging a young woman whose badge, bearing words written in white on blue, read: "penitentiary administration." The souvenir photo was discovered at the prison guard's home during a police search in February 2025. Investigators had been closely monitoring Samy R.'s activities while he was incarcerated. They did so discreetly, as there were strong suspicions that staff members at the prison in Aiton, in the French Alps, were complicit in his dealings, allowing him to run a thriving trade in all sorts of items, ranging from drugs to meat and even ceramic knives. Repeated searches of his cell revealed his ability to smuggle in anything that might interest his fellow inmates: "a lump of brownish substance and four green tablets" which tested positive for narcotics, two bottles of perfume (La Nuit de L'Homme, by Yves Saint Laurent, and Dioriviera, by Christian Dior), sliced smoked duck breast, sausage, dried lamb and beef, an Xbox 360 console, nine controllers, a blender, a bevy of mobile phones and e-cigarettes, chargers, and even El Mordjene chocolate spread from Algeria, the sale of which is banned in France.
