" We don't eat during Fashion Week, we pretend to. " - Part 1

Fide Fashion Week, hosted at The Shoppes at the Marina Bay Sands late last month, was probably the highlight event 2012. Featuring dozens of designers, both aspiring and renown , old and young, Fide was an amazing platform for these talented maestros to showcase their work.

With the well-respected fashion editor Suze Menkes as the guest-of-honour, & the youthful and bubbly face of Style Network, Jeannie Mai, as the head correspondent , Fide Fashion Week was the epitome of all things French, Asian & Japanese Couture!
I managed to attend some shows, in-between my exams and soaked in the sights of some lovely couture pieces, have a look!

Thomas Wee

Stunning shades of burgundy, wine and chic black for his collection. It's effortless yet classy & one of Asia's Next Top Model's judges, the fabulous Mr. Danial Boey, loved the first look so much he tweaked it a little and pulled it off! But try as I might, I couldn't find a single photo on the Net of him :( MOVING ON NOW. 

Alexis Mabille 

Well known for his intricate and delicate designs, Alexis Mabille held true to his trademarks. The cohesive designs had Asian influences but still remained largely French, imbibed from his childhood days in Lyon, France ! Well, what else could we expect from someone who designed exquisite fine jewellery for John Galliano during his apprenticeship at Dior!

Julien Fournié

As you might've guessed from Mr. Julien's expressions, his latest collection has "FUN" written all over it ! Carefree and fabulous, his couture pieces steer away from safer, stereotypical darker hues and is interpreted in a different, more unique manner! 

Part Two will be up soon, till then!
