Humbled. Proud. And yes - still very much in the game. Campaign Asia-Pacific has included me in their 50 Over 50 Class of 2026 - a list recognising the builders, architects and entrepreneurs who are not stepping back but stepping up. Out of all nominations across 11 APAC markets, only 37 were selected this year. That means something.
I want to be honest about how this happened. I did not apply for this myself. It took three remarkable younger women -Petra Sekhar, Rahat Kapur and Natasha Damodaran- to put my name forward. And before them, it took my circle of extraordinary female friends and leaders - Circe Henestrosa, Cristina Ventura Serra and so many others - to remind me of something I had to learn the hard way:
Good work alone is not enough. If you want to be seen, you have to own it.
For a long time I believed that results would speak for themselves. That naivety cost me years of visibility I had quietly earned. What changed was the women around me - younger, sharper, and far less willing to let me disappear into the next project without claiming what came before.
So this one is for every woman who has ever moved on too quickly - who finished building something extraordinary and immediately turned to the next blank page without stopping to say: I made that.
Stop. Look back. Celebrate it.
This milestone belongs to three businesses I have poured everything into - Vogue Singapore, Beyond the Boardroom, and RSVP - and to every person who built alongside me.
We are not here to age gracefully. We are here to rock the industry.
Thank you @campaignasia for seeing it that way too.

OFF THE RECORD: Seven years after her last @isaloniofficial , @bschlippe returns to Milan to find both a city and industry in transition.
From labyrinthine pink installations inside Baroque palazzos to furniture sculpted from seashells and ocean-recovered plastic, Milan Design Week 2026 revealed a world moving beyond aesthetics alone. What emerged instead was something more layered. Design as emotional infrastructure, hospitality as storytelling, and luxury as a question of meaning rather than excess.
Somewhere between the endless queues, the Metro rides, the archive revivals, and a Singaporean dinner party that ended with strangers dancing to ABBA around a flaming fish, another truth surfaced too, the best design still creates what technology cannot: presence, memory, and human connection.

Fuorisalone 2026 exploration. Milano was an open air masterclass of Design inspiration. #objectsnomades #triennale #palazzoserbelloni #palazzolitta #fuorisalone2026
After a 7-year pause (Covid, the Ukraine war, and building Vogue Singapore), I finally returned to Salone del Mobile 2026 , where my love affair with design picked up exactly where it left off.
From FuoriSalone wanderings to endless fair discoveries, from old friends to brilliant new minds, this week was a masterclass in creativity, craftsmanship, and why inspiration sometimes requires truly unreasonable step counts (27000 per day!!! and yes, my shoes deserve an award).
Milan was electric. Every corner, conversation, and installation reminded me that design-just like fashion -is not just about aesthetics, but about how we can shape the future.
Grateful, inspired, slightly blistered… and already counting down to the next one.
Salone del Mobile , thank you for reminding me where passion lives.❤️

OFF THE RECORD: At a moment when women are leaving an undeniable mark on business, culture and leadership, many still struggle to fully believe they belong in the rooms they have already earned the right to occupy.
That was one of the clearest themes to emerge at the co-launch of @hermark_world with @beyond_btb , a photography and advocacy initiative founded by @annahomodea , @naomipg2026 , Severine Vauleon, @gerri.hamill and @hinotijoshi , which celebrates the women shaping the marcomms industry by placing them in front of the camera, on their own terms.
Research suggests that as many as 75% of women executives experience imposter syndrome at work, with many also feeling overlooked. The issue is no longer whether women deserve a seat at the table. The challenge is no longer hesitating to pull out the chair.

Story: @bschlippe
OFF THE RECORD: What happens when the leadership tool designed to solve your problems ends up killing the way you think?
Co-founder of @beyond_btb and Publisher-at-Large at @voguesingapore@bschlippe reflects on an unexpected gift from her husband: a digital notebook that promised efficiency, organisation and searchable thoughts, but failed almost instantly.
What follows is a meditation on why old rituals still matter. From Marie Curie’s notebooks to Gen Z’s revival of vinyl, film and print, von Schlippe explores what analogue methodologies reveal about how we think, remember and protect the luxury of our attention in a world built for distraction.

OFF THE RECORD: In this edition of her fortnightly column, Co-founder of @beyond_btb and Publisher-at-Large at @voguesingapore@bschlippe goes behind the scenes of fashion trailblazer @ggpanther ’s exclusive Singapore showing with @melange_singapore , steps into the pulse of @spikes_asia , and encounters a new generation of Asian creatives and entrepreneurs already in motion.
What unfolds is not coincidence, but pattern. Like the fluid threads of Gupta’s now famed twin dress, these moments are woven into a sharper argument. While the industry debates its own reinvention, the ones shaping what comes next are busy creating.

On International Women’s Day these photos resurfaced in my album. Coincidence -or a gentle algorithm reminder of the person who has stood beside me and supported me every step of the way.

Welcome to Off the Record, your new pass into the margins of luxury leadership. Each fortnight, @bschlippe , Co-founder of @beyond_btb and Publisher-at-Large at @voguesingapore distills what’s shaping the region’s luxury landscape. From closed-door perspectives to unfiltered insights and the quiet shifts that haven’t made the headlines just yet.
In the first edition, von Schlippe finds herself at a private dinner with 10 strangers and no agenda, and walks away with the most honest conversation she’s had this year so far. What are luxury’s most powerful leaders really saying when no one’s taking notes? More than you’d expect.

“I became an artist when I became a lobster.”
In conversation with the extraordinary @philipcolbert -a mind that travels effortlessly from art history to Nietzsche, from classical symbolism to the age of robots, from Pompeij to a Vogue cover shoot. This is an artist who doesn’t just make works, but builds an entire universe: bold, playful, and sharply intelligent.
Led by humour and an unwavering sense of optimism, his art pops on the surface yet reaches something deeply human beneath it-reminding us of one essential truth we so often forget: to live fully, to stay curious, and above all, to be happy. #PhilipColbert #artistalk #PopArt #ArtSG @bailey_studio
