Hot new clothes to go on show at S'pore Fashion Festival

The latest trends in fashion will go on show at one of the
biggest fashion extranvaganzas in Asia, the fifth Singapore
Fashion Festival from March 24 through April 3.

Presented by the Singapore Tourism Board and automaker
Mercedes Benz, collections of international designers will be
displayed on a glamorous catwalk built under a gigantic tent in
Nge Ann City.

Among collections to be displayed during the festival are
those from Givenchy, JPG, Kenzo, Guy Laroche, Alberta Ferretti,
Roberto Cavalli and Chloe.

Tickets are available for free at the festival's website:
www.singaporefashionfestival.com.sg.

The event is billed as the biggest and most glamorous fashion
and shopping extravaganza in Asia and is expected to draw buyers
from India, China, Japan, Australia and Indonesia.

"Shoppers can pick the shows they want to watch, enjoy the
experience, buy what they like from the shows immediately, and be
among the first to wear the season's best picks," festival
director Simon Lock said.

Besides collections from international designers, Singapore
Fashion Festival will also display items from street-wear stores
like Topshop, The Link, Pois, and Singapore designer-label
Hybrid-O!.

It will also exhibit fashion photographs by Leslie Kee,
customized sneakers by Mark Ong, as well as shoes by Salvatore
Ferragamo. Meanwhile, the Takashimaya Square will set a stage for
beauty events and workshops by brands like Lancome and Vichy
Skincare.

Singapore holds the event annually in its drive to become a
world fashion center. -- Ve Handojo
