SHOPPING THE GSS
If you’ve spent any time in Singapore then you’re likely to have heard
about the Great Singapore Sale. It’s going on until the last week of
July, and many stores are offering 30 to 50 percent off their products.
Having been working as a personal stylist in Singapore for almost
seven years, JULIA BLANK has honed her shopping techniques, and
this month clues us in on the best places to shop during the sales.
1.
Club 21.
This is a collection of high-
end designers such as Calvin Klein,
Dolce & Gabbana, Lanvin, Marni,
Moschino, Paul Smith and many
more. If you’ve already joined the
loyalty programme, you’ll be notified
when pre-sales begin, but make sure
you head down on the first day as
the good items sell out. The Club
21 Bazaar Sale is a mega-sale that
takes place in August and September,
and I promise you it’s worth the long
queue. Clothing for men, women and
children is all marked down by 60 to
80 percent.
2.
Jimmy Choo.
Needs no introduction.
This brand is one of the first to go on
sale, and its shoe stocks clear fast
thanks to discounts of more than
30 percent in its stores in Paragon
and MBS.
3.
Raoul.
This local brand features a
collection of trendy women’s pieces.
During the sale, it will be cutting 40
percent from original retail prices.
Raoul provides very attentive
customer service, too.
4.
Metro.
This big department
store has four locations within
Singapore, and you can join
its loyalty programme when
you spend $300 within three
months. Metro runs big sales and
promotions throughout the year
and is well worth a visit.
5.
Diane Von Furstenberg (DVF).
DVF’s classic wrap dresses make
women of all shapes and sizes look
gorgeous. I often bring my clients
here to find that special occasion
dress or casual-chic clothes that
are so hard to find elsewhere. The
loyalty card will get you an extra 10
percent off, as well as an invitation
to VIP pre-sales. DVF is offering
discounts of up to 40 percent in
its ION and Takashimaya stores
during the GSS.
IT’S A TREND:
SLIP-ON SHOES
What can be better than gliding into
a pair of comfy slip-ons? Luckily, it’s
a big trend this season.
4. Leather slip-ons,
Vans, $60.
1. Printed slip-ons,
Zara, $149.
2. Nautical slip-ons,
H&M, $24.90.
3. Koop e r s l i p - o n s ,
