In recent years, there has been a growing appreciation for small, homegrown labels, particularly in the realm of fashion. These brands are redefining the local fashion scene by embracing innovative fabrics, unconventional construction, and unique silhouettes – all without compromising on craftsmanship and quality. Stepping away from the usual fare seen in streetwear, many local brands offer a diverse range of ready-to-wear pieces, catering to various styles and body types.
For those seeking stylish outerwear, Cherub’s Ariel jacket stands out. Made from water-resistant nylon, it offers protection from Singapore’s unpredictable weather. The concealed side pockets and integrated cord system provide utility and convenience, aligning with the ever-popular gorpcore trend. Fassbender & Mellon Collie takes a different approach to upcycling with their use of natural dyes on vintage rags, promoting sustainability while staying stylish. When it comes to everyday essentials, Veblen Supplies and Arcade clothing deliver quality basics at affordable prices.
On the accessories front, Denise Chong’s new collection of beaded necklaces and handbags offers timeless versatility while embracing the mermaidcore trend with aquamarine shades and butterfly pendants. The meticulous attention to detail and unmatched craftsmanship solidify her position as a favorite among local style icons.
