I’ll
admit. It’s probably the only time I miss being in Dubai, even though I lived
there for many years before moving to Singapore, I've never really had any feel
for the place.
That was before the
Fashion Forward event, which took place recently and could be the first step
towards nurturing a real fashion scene in the desert
When people complain to me about the ‘lack’ of a proper
fashion scene in Singapore, I always tell them to compare it to Dubai, where
there is hardly anything interesting fashion-wise. The first vintage shop in
the country opened only a couple of years back while the concept of ‘local’ and
‘independent’ designers was non-existent bar for a handful of individuals who
introduced this idea not too long ago.
But when I learned about Fashion Forward happening in Dubai,
I breathed a sigh of relief that perhaps the city has finally started
celebrating the young talent and giving them a proper platform and the exposure
they deserve.
