Reporting from the fashion metropolis of Singapore

For those of you that do not know, I am now living in Singapore and so I am reporting to you all from over here amongst this modern metropolis of style and fashion.

Last week, my friend Sabrina (the exotic combination of Suisse/Philippino) invited me to an exclusive fashion show here in Singapore so of course, I didn’t hesitate to accept as I am here to experience new and exciting inspirations from the fashion scene of South East Asia.

The name of the show was
Guild by Grey Goose – it was their first event in Singapore and they chose the fabulous location The White Rabbit, which is an old church converted into a restaurant.

In total there were three designers presenting their collections:

NOCTURNAL by Reshan Melwani
WYKIDD and Jade Swee 
TIME TAKEN TO MAKE A DRESS by Letitia Phay

While each of these designers brought something different to the night, a common vein brought them together as each brand designed an exclusive Grey Goose inspired dress. NOCTURAL’s design was a black leather top, with a flowy skirt (very rock chic). WYKIDD’s design was a beautiful white gown. While, TIME TAKEN TO MAKE A DRESS’s design was a  sheer long black dress (very vampy in style). Each of the designers donated the dresses for an auction with proceeds going to The UN Women Committee of Singapore.





I was most taken by NOCTUNAL, I felt the designs in her collection were the most modern, girlie and cohesive. While NOCTURNAL was flowy and  feminine with a dash of bling, WYKIDD (men’s wear brand) took on the challenge of a very solid presentation of women’s fashion and TIME TAKEN TO MAKE A DRESS brought more of a bold look, incorporating a lot of black, open backs and a 'dare to wear' style.

As always, no matter where you are, “Come Bien, Compra Bien, Viste Bien, Siéntete Bien".

Keep following our blog for all the latest updates on fashion and event from around the world... I am off to find more fashion inspiration from this amazing corner of the world!
