M Residences Unveils Its Fifth Development in Katipunan

VCDC continues to redefine metropolitan living by providing strategically located, thoughtfully designed homes that cater to each buyer’s unique preferences.

A convenient city location in a secure and private community has always been a hallmark of luxury living. Everyone dreams of a private enclave tucked away from the rush of the city, yet with all the access to everyday conveniences—an exclusive neighbourhood where comfort meets contemporary design, and a home with liveable spaces that reflect your needs and style. But this luxury can come at a cost—a hefty one.

M Residences, the estate development by Victor Consunji Development Corporation (VCDC), defies this notion by providing attractively priced landed homes that unlock a wealth of possibilities that can boost one’s life and style.

Saint Bella Founder Danny Xiang on the Evolution of Luxury Postnatal Care

Postnatal care has never looked this glamorous, but what Saint Bella is delivering is peace of mind.

In the ever-evolving landscape of luxury services, few sectors have been as transformative as postnatal and maternal care. At the forefront of this revolution is Saint Bella, a pioneering brand group dedicated to providing high-net-worth individuals (HNWI) with a unique and luxurious experience during one of life’s most significant transitions: the arrival of a new child. 

The driving force behind this revolution is Danny Xiang, the company’s founder and CEO, whose blend of elite academic credentials and entrepreneurial grit reads like a modern legend. A quintessential “golden child” by any measure, Xiang’s trajectory has been extraordinary. 

At 18, Xiang received admission offers from seven world-class institutions, ultimately choosing Oxford, where he fast-tracked and completed a master’s degree in Biomedical Engineering by 23. From there, he launched a successful career in finance with UBS, and was swiftly promoted to director of UBS Asia’s Healthcare Investment Banking division. It was during this period that he identified untapped potential in the wellness consumer market. Never one to shy from bold decisions, the tenacious visionary walked away from the security of a lucrative banking career in 2017 to pioneer China’s postpartum care centre industry—a niche he would redefine through entrepreneurship.

In a mere seven years, Xiang has steered Saint Bella to become Asia’s largest and fastest growing postpartum care and recovery group, expanding its footprint to nearly 80 high-end locations across more than 25 cities worldwide. Leveraging its unique asset-light business model, the company has achieved rapid year-on-year growth. Based on revenue growth rates from 2021 to 2023, Saint Bella is also the fastest-growing large-scale postpartum care and family wellness group in China.

A jewellery and accessories shoot from... 2017/2018

Personally thought all the images came out great but by then editor didn't and refused to expense or sign off on it. Instead of a kill fee of 15-25%, I paid the entire team out of pocket. 

Lessons learned. Trust your own taste and conviction. That editor didn't last that long. Poor judgement and choices tarnished her rep. 

The images did.  

BTS: Behind the Scenes of a Fashion Shoot

Knew a few things from the start; Karen Yiu (and her team) for hair and makeup, Dino Busch as photographer and Bhisan for Styling and getting all the looks together. I've worked with Taner S since 2009 (Model One agency FYI) so we didn't even need to cast him. The entire team had worked with him at some point or another, Hong Kong's resident super model. 

Shot entirely on location at the fab Island Shangri-La in Hong Kong. We've tried to present some of the best facets of this hotel...
