The wave of local labels sees each brand bringing their own unique touch to the style scene in Singapore offering a range of clothing pieces for every style and occasion. For those of you who are in dire need of some retail therapy, these are some home-grown fashion brands you need to check out.
Singaporean fashion label Arcade Clothing was founded by Collin Goh and Min Poh in 2012. They sell women’s, men’s and even children’s clothing, with a focus on crafting designs which are timeless yet trendy.
