Apart from all that theatrical designs off the runway, I’d often take some time out to browse through what local jewelry designers are up to. While customization tend to border on business on the small scale, it isn’t often that I see designs I want to blog about.
Sparkle Thots offer a very different take on [...]
I’m going to spare you all that “Fashion Nation supports local fashion efforts” speech, because you’d probably know that by now. It’s really great to get mail from readers suggesting new sites which we have not featured before. In this case, a lovely reader T. pointed us in the direction of the Livejournal site Get [...]
Stephanie Simek of gave our mail some love and pointed us to her amazing collection aptly named Wearables:
A project involving precious and experimental materials, Wearables evolved from being a part of a series of objects, photographs, and installations Stephanie was working on called Systems, Functions, Circuits, Dreams to a collection on its own. Working [...]
We received an email from Joy *wave* who asked us about flea markets in Singapore - like which are the ones held regularly and are worth spending your precious weekends on.
So here are a few that I find interesting :
Singapore River Market
For once a month until March 2008, the Singapore River Market will be [...]
In an increasingly globalised world, and with Singapore becoming one of the most ‘connected’ cities in the world, we Singaporeans find that we have access to many things which were previously out of reach (sometimes literally).
MacDonald’s used to be the only true MNC, with outlets practically everywhere. But its monopoly on the trans-national business is [...]
Cindy from Finger Magic dropped us an e-mail to tell of about her new line of silver jeweller, Origami Bijou.
I hopped over to her site, and was duely impressed - apparantly, Cindy folds silver into origami (that Japanese art of paper-folding). Cindy explains that the silver she uses is super pilable and she simply fires [...]
As we have mentioned here, the Fashion Nation writers are always receptive to supporting local sites.
Upon recommendation, we discovered Anais, a range of jewelry which embodies simplicity and chic. While it does not follow any trend per se, the great thing is that you can wear it season after season without being afraid that it [...]
At Fashion Nation, we believe in supporting and creating exposure for creative efforts of Singaporeans, and we’ve unearthed yet another site created by Little Red Dottians. As these are young, enterprising Singaporeans… I suppose they can be classified as little Little Red Dottians.
Noir et rougeee is a joint effort by two junior college students. Their [...]
I’d never liked digital watches because I find that they lack a certain soul. Analog watches on the other hand, are very soulful, or should I say, full of character.
For me, watches should be as classic and timeless as possible, because time itself is a classic and is timeless - therefore, the keeper of time [...]
Presenting to you Little Red Heels, which is set up by two undergraduates. I love featuring and chancing upon creations by local undergraduates, because it counters the arguments that Little Red Dottians aren’t creative. It’s not true, because we are overflowing with creativity!
Let’s talk about the things I love about this site:
1. The [...]
