The Ordinary Unveils New Sunscreen: UV Filters SPF 45 Serum

In case you missed Takashi Murakami's whimsical cherry blossom oasis at ComplexCon Hong Kong 2025, Ohana Hatake has made its official debut in the city at Pacific Place in Admiralty. 

Step into the retail destination this August and you’ll find its Garden Court transformed into a mesmerizing dreamscape that’s blooming with imagination. From July 31 to August 13, the mall’s latest campaign, Summer in Full Bloom, brings Japanese artist Takashi Murakami’s Ohana Hatake to Hong Kong for its official launch, in a pop-up that’s part art installation, part retail experience, and all sensory delight. 

Presented in collaboration with Complex Chinese, the event marks Murakami’s footwear brand’s debut in the city, coinciding with Pacific Place’s role as the official mall partner of ComplexCon Hong Kong 2025. 

At the heart of it all is a surreal floral dreamscape, showcasing a large-scale hanging cherry blossom centerpiece surrounded by blooming trees and vibrant florals, all echoing Murakami’s signature Superflat aesthetic. The result is a space that feels more like a garden in motion than a shopping mall. 

Inside the installation, visitors can browse exclusive Ohana Hatake merchandise, including two footwear styles in twelve colorways, with four new shades released in phases over the two-week run. The pop-up also offers an incentive: spend HK$800 or HK$1,500 in same-day electronic purchases at Pacific Place or Starstreet Precinct to redeem a specially brewed Ohana Hatake coffee or limited-edition tote bag, respectively. Redemptions are available daily while supplies last. 

Beyond the retail and rewards, the installation invites guests to linger, explore, and engage with Murakami’s world, where nature meets pop art, and summer feels like a canvas. With opening hours from 11am to 8pm, it’s a perfect midday escape or post-work wander. 

Whether you’re chasing cherry blossoms or just looking for a fresh way to experience the city, Summer in Full Bloom offers a rare chance to see Pacific Place through a more whimsical lens.

This summer, give your jewelry box a sprinkle of stardust with Pandora’s new ESSENCE collection.

Timed perfectly with the release of KATSEYE’s second EP Beautiful Chaos, out on June 27, 2025, Pandora's new campaign stars global sensation KATSEYE and draws from Pandora's Summer 2025 collections, with.

Each member of the powerhouse girl group Daniela, Lara, Manon, Megan, Sophia, and Yoonchae have handpicked a charm from the PANDORA ESSENCE Collection that represents their individual essence and story, to style with their own personal touches.

From Sophia’s Anchor Mini Dangle Charm to Megan’s vibrant Cherry Dangle Charm and Manon’s regal Queen and Regal Crown, each piece adds a distinct individual touch to the signature KATSEYE look, whether through layering or wearing it boldly as statement pieces.

The PANDORA ESSENCE Collection captures love’s dual nature – strong yet gentle—echoing the graceful flow of sand and waves. Two signature textures take center stage: twisted (recalling windswept shores,) and rippled (evoking the ebb and flow of water). 

Sculptural rings, earrings, and bracelets are available in luminous 14K gold plating or 925 sterling silver, adorned with freshwater cultured pearls and glittering cubic zirconia. These are great for stacking or layering, if you want a chunky effect. But what really shines are the quiet details, such as asymmetrical heart shapes, dual-toned arcs, soft curves that speak to love in all its rawest forms.

Some pieces, like the Rippled Stacking Ring and Rippled Gold-Plated Hoop Earrings, inspired by shifting sands and natural textures, shimmer like sunlight skipping across the sea. But side note, make sure to keep your Pandora jewelry from touching sand and saltwater if you want to keep it shiny all summer!

Other pieces like the Gold-Plated Necklace and Twisted Gold-Plated Open Bangle feature fluid lines and double circles with shifting metallic hues. 

For those who like to wear their heart on their sleeve (or wrist, or neck), Pandora allows you to customize your ESSENCE Collection. Selected pieces can be engraved with a name, date, or private message at select Pandora stores. Whether it’s for a best friend, a partner, or yourself, let the jewelry speak for itself!

Engraving is available at: Hysan Place, IFC, Langham Place, Harbour City, Telford Plaza, New Town Plaza, Metroplaza, V City, and YOHO Mall in Hong Kong.
