The Shilla Seoul and The Shilla Jeju are welcoming autumn with a series of special offers and unique opportunities.

Embracing traditional culinary customs, tThe Shilla Seoul’s fine-dining Korean restaurant La Yeon will present an autumn menu showcasing seasonal ingredients, including pine nuts, sweet potatoes and seafood. At the 2015 Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants awards, La Yeon debuted on the list at No.38 and earned the coveted One To Watch award.

With Mt Namsan framed by The Library’s full-length windows, The Shilla Seoul’s guests can enjoy the picture-perfect view while indulging in scones, pastries, cakes and various premium teas. The tea menu includes flavours as crème Caramel, Moroccan Mint and ‘Anniversary’, combining black tea, Mint, blue Mallow, Marigold Flowers, Rose Petals and Cream and raspberry flavours.

The Pastry Boutique at The Shilla Seoul embraces French flavours with its own interpretation of the Mont Blanc dessert, which traditionally consists of sweetened chestnut puree topped with whipped cream. The Boutique’s chefs offer a twist on the chestnut based classic with pistachio and pumpkin.

Last but not least, The Shilla Seoul boasts a private Sculpture Garden which showcases autumn’s changing landscape and rich-red colours to perfection. Aside from the natural beauty, visitors can also admire the 60-plus sculptures dotted throughout the 40,000 sq m garden.

At The Shilla Jeju, a Mediterranean-style resort, autumn is the season of outdoor movies. Movies will play each evening on a large poolside screen next to a fully heated outdoor swimming pool.

The Shilla Jeju’s Guest Activity Organiser specialises in arranging outings and guiding visitors to Jeju’s autumn experiences. Each GAO manages every detail of the outing and accompanies guests on outdoor activities such as horseback riding and sunset yacht cruising.

Guests looking to bring a touch of glamour to the camping experience can choose the Glamping Village. The cabana-style tents comprise a large comfortable sofa, dining table, heater, Galaxy tab, private stereo and a docking station for individual devices. Adding an extra level of luxury, a special lunch and dinner menu is available with chefs preparing dishes at the on-site barbecues. The meal concludes with a dessert being prepared live, in front of the guests.

Fashion designer Mary Katrantzou, well known as the “Queen of Prints”, has collaborated with sportswear specialist adidas to create the adidas 
Originals by Mary Katrantzou collection. The collaboration sees the launch of a series of apparel and footwear inspired by Katrantzou's designs.

Katrantzou’s work often blends bold graphics with architectural shapes and the latest technologies to convey a modern feminine aesthetic. In this collaboration, Katrantzou draws inspiration from past adidas shoe silhouettes and has incorporated product features like outsoles, laces, and pop icons into her own unique collection.

"When adidas first approached me, I took time to think about what I could offer that’s different, what I could say through the collection that they haven’t said before. I grew up, like so many other kids around the world, wearing adidas sneakers, and bringing my vision to such a global brand is a great challenge. They have a fantastic heritage and their ability to innovate in sportswear makes them the perfect partner for us to work with in this market. I believe that print and colour can come together to communicate perfectly to a wider audience,” 
she said.  

The collection is available in Singapore stores at the adidas Originals store at Pacific Plaza and online at shop.adidas.com.sg. Footwear from the collection will be available at the Limited Edition store at Marina Bay Sands.
