Isn't it hard to disagree with those who think there is always a reason to visit Singapore? Whether it is for a real holiday, a fun weekend getaway, a romantic escape, or just to catch your favorite superstar idol so you won't miss his performance, the island is like a magnet that pulls you with its endlessly inviting events that you find hard to resist. The glamorous Singapore Fashion Festival is one of them.
Renowned for being one of Asia-Pacific's most exciting events for international and local designers, retailers and the public at large, Singapore Fashion Festival will be held from March 28 to April 6 in Ngee Ann City, which is located in the most famous shopping havenOrchard Road.
Featuring world-class designers in town, international top models, fashion exhibitions and club parties, the 10-day festival has lured various fashionista, shopaholics and fashion enthusiasts from the region and from different parts of the world. And again, some of the biggest names in the international fashion industry will be presented, together with the season's hottest buys. As for the catwalk, it will come back to shine with exciting brands and trend-setting collections straight off the runways of New York, Paris and Milan, and cutting-edge creations by talented home-grown designers, all brought and shown by top international models. For this year, be prepared to sit there and witness from a close distance the beautiful face of Erin O'Connor, who has modeled for Chanel, Christian Dior and Valentino. Another eye-turner on the catwalk will be the new up-and-coming Chinese supermodel Emma Pei, aka Pei Bei, who recently graced the runway with her slim and enchanting figure in Dior Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2007. But probably, ladies (and gentlemen?) the most sizzling appearance that will heat up the catwalk will come from the perfect 6-pack body of Marcus Schenkenberg, named one of the 50 Most Beautiful People on the planet by People Magazine. Obviously, it came as no surprise to anybody*
As for the designers, participating at this year's festival are those who have shown their fabulous talent in the fashion industry like Ashley Isham, Francis Cheong, Izumo Ogino, Sven Tan, Carlos Miele, and Matthew Williamson to name a few. The latter was also one of the designers to take part in last year's Singapore Fashion Festival, closing it with a full-scale runway presentation for his dazzling Spring/Summer 2007 collection.
Showing its success as one of the most prestigious fashion events in Asia, Singapore Fashion Festivals is indeed one of the most-awaited annual events in the country. Last year's festival was colored by more than 100 local and international designer*labels hitting the catwalk.
The Singapore Fashion Festival 2007 has lined up a range of premium designer collections, from*Vivienne Tam, Matthew Williamson and MARC by Marc Jacobs, as well as local talents behind such home-grown labels like Baylene and alldressedup.
