Formerly Audi Fashion Festival, the newly named
Singapore Fashion Week (#SFW
)
is back in May for its ninth edition.
This year, we’re thrilled to hear that none other than the iconic Diane Von Furstenburg
will be opening the shows. Named the most powerful woman in fashion by
Forbes
in 2012,
her fashion-forward interpretations of the wrap-dress and her signature prints are loved
the world over, and we can’t wait to see her latest designs strutting down the runway.
And thanks to a new partnership with the Council of Fashion Designers America
(CFDA), we can also expect a showcase from more acclaimed designers – previous years
have seen of garments from the likes of Prabal Gurung, Carolina Herrera, Oscar de la
Renta and Zac Posen take the stage.
What’s more, this fashion event is really pushing exposure for Singapore designers,
aiming to launch them into the global marketplace. With partnerships with UK Trade
& Investment (UKTI) and e-tailer Net-a-Porter, we’re sure to see our local design talent
stocked up there with the big names soon!
