Singapore Fashion Festival 2006
It’s one of Asia Pacific’s most exciting fashion festivals for international and local designers, and it’s set to be even bigger this year with the presence of international top model Lily Cole, making her debut on an Asian catwalk.
The Singapore Fashion Festival, held from 24 March-2 April at The Tent at Ngee Ann City is where foreign visitors and Singaporeans get a chance to experience a range of premium fashion events featuring the best trend-setting looks hot off the world’s top catwalks and when Orchard Road, Singapore’s famous shopping street, becomes ‘Fashion Central’.
Building on last year’s success, more than 50 events are expected to be scheduled for the 2006 Festival which will showcase a range of luxury designer brands, cult and “underground” fashion names, high-street fashion, emerging designers as well as eminent regional and Singapore labels.
As the most fashion forward event in the region, Singapore Fashion Festival 2006 will offer a rare glimpse of some Autumn/ Winter collections from international brands, seen for the first time in the region.
To date, highlights include the launch of Unique (a first for Asia, outside of London) by Topshop, Fox Kids, the new exclusive labels of Machka (Turkey), Trucco (Spain), Coast (UK), Part 2 (Denmark), Robert Cary-Williams (UK), Jessica Noy (UK), Robinsons department store, Marks & Spencer, Wardrobe & Martini Pink (Tangs), Island Shop (Gamut) and The Link Group. The Festival schedule also features L’Oreal/Marix and Lancome Shows as well as a designer discovery program with regional designers vying for the coveted top prize.
Lily Cole will be 'The Face of the Festival 2006', appearing in a number of high-profile collection shows that will be part of the Official Schedule, and attending gala events. Tipped as one of the hottest and most in-demand international catwalk and campaign models, Lily has been described as a British girl who resembles a maiden in a pre-Raphaelite painting — a signature look that is influencing and exciting fashion insiders throughout the world. |
