Organised by the Textile and Fashion Federation (Taff), Singapore Stories 2021 wants to promote local design and find tomorrow's fashion design maestro. Tatler Singapore will join in the search and produce a four-part reality TV series about it
Who will become Singapore's next big fashion designer to follow in the footsteps of luminaries such as Thomas Wee, Andrew Gn and Lai Chan? And who can design the most outstanding six-look capsule collection, themed "Fashion and Technology: A New Era", especially since Singapore embraces digitalisation and technology as a smart nation?
This creative mind will be discovered at Singapore Stories 2021, a fashion design competition organised by the Textile and Fashion Federation (Taff). Taff is a non-profit organisation that supports and develops Singapore's textile and fashion industry and positions the country as an innovative fashion hub that focuses on technology and innovation, sustainability, and Asian craftsmanship.
Candidates who fulfil the requirements and impress with their sketches and moodboard will undergo structured mentoring sessions throughout the competition. They will learn the ropes from business and design mentors such as Essec professor Sonja Prokopec and Mollie Jean De Dieu, general manager of Longchamp Singapore and Malaysia, who will be able to provide feedback and offer guidance to them. Semi-finalists will get to showcase one look from their capsule collection at Design Orchard and on Taff’s online platform, OneOrchard.Store.
