Gallery: Singapore street fashion
After several months in countries where pyjamas are casual street wear and face masks are as banal as earrings (I’m looking at you, Indochina) it was a delight to arrive in Singapore and walk among such well-dressed folk.
It felt like the “work chic” and “party dress” pages of a BCBG catalog had sprung to life with thousands of women around me.
Not that their styles are particularly trendy. But what they lack in daring they compensate with good taste and elegance. What I saw was an excess of fine fabrics, tailored pants, uber-feminine dresses and hardly any jeans. The accessories were always smart and exact.
It’s also no handicap that the women had, in great numbers, slim bodies on which anything looks good. The financial district, in the heart of the city, is where men and women triumph in the looks department.
It was fun doing a street fashion shoot. Many women, by modesty of shyness, didn’t want to be photographed. But I like to think that with or without their participation, I gave a nice ego boost to women who are probably seldom recognized or complimented, inside or outside their borders.

De fato é um show de elegância, seja pela composição das roupas e acessórios, seja pela pela estampa das ‘modelos’. Todas em ‘perfect shape’.
I’m definitely jealous!
Nice pics. Bravo!
Yes, Hussaini, your post is very offensive. The phtoos exist and are real, so however rare, some significant number of people interpret your same bizarro sky fairy tale differently than you do. Blame your (non-existent) allah-walla-walla for that, since he’d be the one too incompetent at the god game to get a consistent message out.But your last line is great. I have a coldless heart, for sure. Allah-walla-walla-shebang-bongo-boingo to you, girlie.RAmen.
