Midnight Brights


L- Fla, Creative Brand Manager, Dress from Armoire, Shoes from Charles & Keith.
R- Evon, Designer, Dress and Jacket from Armoire, Shoes from Pedro, Earrings from By Invite Only.

Standing out in a palette of electric brights, Evon and Fla were looking all pretty and full of zest. In a dress and jacket from her own label Armoire, Evon's combination of grey, blue and yellow was a bold, fun choice for the night while Fla's fuchsia one-piece was a simple, fuss-free option that could double as a piece for work. Evon shares with us her biggest challenge would be learning everything from scratch and figuring things along the way. She counts Madonna and Lady Gaga as inspiration at the moment. She is local while Fla is Thai.

Casual Cruisin'



Chris, Designer, Shirt & Pants from SIFR. 

Rocking a casual, no-frills ensemble from his own label, Chris keeps its simple with this liberty print button-down shirt, chinos and sneakers. Accessorizing with bracelets and a ring that are self-made, we couldn't ignore the assortment of pens lining his shirt pocket. As it turns out, the man is obsessed with stationary and would be a stationary designer if he weren't in Fashion. His favorite local food? The laksa.

High Shine




Vicky, Fashion Consultant, Dress from Johnny Hates Jazz, Clutch from W Planet, Chain Bracelet from Private Icon.

Togged in a slew of emerging Korean designer labels, Vicky was a portrait of easy-glam. Clad in a midnight-blue shift dress paired with a bronze sequined jacket and silver glitter clutch, her buoyant, out-going personality shines through with her outfit choices. Adding extra glitz with jewelled accessories, she was definitely working the party look to good effect. Vicky counts Korean labels Kaal e Suktae and Jardin de Chouette as favourites at the moment.

Bejeweled Blitz



Imran, Journalist, Jacket from Pattric Boyle, Jeans from Depression, Clutch from 4X4 Man.

In a bejeweled shade of turquoise, Imran was looking dapper in his double-breasted jacket and jeans getup. Playing it up with a pair of grey patent tasseled loafers, he accents the look with a simple black clutch and assortment of colorful bracelets. Imran's favorite colour is sand brown and he is currently obsessed with Tom Yam flavored seaweed. Yummy.

Grunge Meets Gloss



























Jasmine, Student, Top from Forever 21.

Rocking a grungy, 60s-inspired look with her tinted round-framed glasses, ribbed beanie, slouchy knitted top and bodycon skirt, Jasmine was in her element that night. Keeping it comfortable and accessible with a pair of cut-out oxfords and envelope sling bag, she balances the look just right. A portrait of youth and spunk, Jasmine counts designer Gareth Pugh as a favourite and describes her style as 'grunge meets futurism'.

Trix Or Treat





Trixie, Jewellery Designer, Top from Soon Lee, Shorts from Armoire, Shoes from Charles & Keith, Ring from By Invite Only.

Sporting a soft palette of neutrals, Trixie's fuss-free top-and-shorts ensemble works. Subtle in its beading detail, she pairs the top with a pair of high-waisted paneled shorts and keeps it simple with a black leather sling and ring from her own label. For her upcoming collection, she is inspired by Pocahontus and is currently experimenting with a variety animal bones. Her favorite local food? The carrot cake.

Owning The Quirk




Antti, Top from AKA Wayward, Pants from Depression & Shoes from Raoul. 

Rocking a part-sailor, part-preppy look replete with quirks, Antti was a standout. Sporting a cute denim-blue shirt accented with a contrasting printed fabric and carrot-cut trousers, he rocks the head-to-toe locally-designed look with aplomb. Heartening to see a non-Singaporean take such healthy interest in local products, Antti cites SIFR as one of his favorite local brands and describes his style as 'positive, imaginative and comfortable'. Awesome.
