About

Fashion Nation covers fashion on the Internet and blogosphere, including independent fashion sites, online fashion magazines, and the latest trends. At the same time, the Fashion Nation creators place emphasis on the fashion scene in Singapore, where they hail from.

Fashion Nation is a joint effort between two childhood friends, Dottie and Stephie, whose ten-years-old friendship has been strengthened through activities such as scouring through fashion magazines, discovering quirky vintage shops, uniting over beer and a lot of good food. They grew up in Singapore – the Land of the Eternal Summer, living as citizens of the Little Red Dot.

They’ve been saying that they will do this for ages, and now that they’ve gotten down to having a real fashion blog, they hope you love reading Fashion Nation as much as they love writing it.

Dottie and Stephie are currently plotting to take over the world. Watch out!

About the Fabulous Writers

Stephie (left) & Dottie (right)

***

Stephie is a freelance writer, currently working on various digital media projects. You can get to know more about her on her personal site where she writes about opinions, reviews, and life in Singapore.

Dottie is the Eternal Optimist, the Emancipated Mouse and the (imagined) Queen of the Little Red Dottians all rolled into one tiny girl. Being somewhat obsessed with grand-sounding, self-conferred titles, she takes a gleeful pleasure in churning them out.

She is a shoes addict and completely agnostic except for when it comes to the religion of SHOES – because she thinks they have magical transformative powers which must be venerated. She wonders when she’ll finally be able to afford $2,000 shoes without having to eat just bread for a month.

She is not snobbish nor does she discriminate where clothes are concerned (she loves cheap clothes). Anything goes if they do it well. For the girlie girl in her, she adores Marni and Chloe because they make her feel like she can be a live-size doll and never ever need to wear ‘grown-up’ clothes. For the boyish boy in her, she thinks that the perfect androgyny of Alexander Wang and Acne really rocks. In her books, Alber Elbaz and Marc Jacobs can do no wrong.

In the time when she is not surfing and blogging about fashion, she hatches schemes about her next Great Escape from the Little Red Dot, watches an unhealthy amount of cable, reads hungrily (her love for books rivals that of shoes) and daydreams a lot.

She works hard to make her dog, Coco, as human as possible, and thus Coco now enjoys wearing cute dresses. Coco’s favourite piece is a very French, navy & white striped tee.

She’d nicknamed the love of her life ‘Mr Man’, and she hopes fervently that she’ll have her happily ever after, eventually
