Singaporean fashion brands that are making significant strides overseas

 Whether it’s shoes, womenswear or menswear, these Singaporean fashion brands have proven that their designs and aesthetic are making waves with overseas buyers and shoppers alike.

Charles and Keith

From one store at Amara Shopping Centre in 1996, siblings Charles and Keith Wong have built a business that now has 500 stores worldwide, with flagships in Beijing, Dubai and Seoul.

The brand has expanded its offerings to include bags, sunglasses and even a range of shoes and bags for kids.

Aijek 

Danelle Woo launched Aijek in 2010. Aimed at the modern woman, the style is effortless and versatile. The brand has over 40 stockists which include Neiman Marcus, ASOS and Revolve.

In March 2018, the  brand evolved to include a Aijek Bridal collection.

Beyond The Vines 

Simple, minimalist designs in soft hues and sleek textures is what Beyond The Vines is all about. The Mall Group, one of Thailand’s largest mall operators, brought Beyond The Vines into the country through its luxury department store, Emporium.

In Singapore, Beyond The Vines has standalone stores at Mandarin Gallery and Downtown Gallery and stocked at Tangs at Tang Plaza.
