PHOTO COURTSY OF SAINT LAURENT
Saint Laurent Rive Droite and Bang & Olufsen are a compelling case study in the rising phenomenon of partnerships between fashion and tech. Under the creative direction of Anthony Vaccarello, Saint Laurent’s audacious, rock-n-roll-infused aesthetic meets the minimalist elegance of Danish audio engineering.
There are three key offerings to look out for. Firstly, the incomparable Beoplay A1 (SGD610) speaker, loved for its iconic circular design. This update sees a subtle application of the Saint Laurent logo, a powerful accent that elevates the speaker to a covetable fashion accessory. This statement piece is a dream for the discerning consumer who values both style and technology.

Next, the Beoplay H95 (SGD3,800) earphones similarly receives the Saint Laurent Rive Droite treatment. This Bang & Olufsen flagship model was already celebrated for its audiophile-quality sound and all-day comfort. Now, it enjoys a fresh makeover, complete with black lambskin pads and silver aluminium dials. Accompanied by its own leather sleeve, this powerful headset also dials up the chic factor.
Last but not least, the Beoplay EX (SGD1,100) earbuds also find a place in this curated line-up. Don’t let its size fool you, because it easily outperforms most models in the categories of sound quality, ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) effectiveness and comfort.
All three accessories in the collaboration take an already-premium Bang & Olufsen product and make it a part of a larger narrative. Each joins the design-forward Saint Laurent Rive Droite family without compromising on its core engineering.
