Our Favourite Designer Looks From The Zalora SGFW18 Show You Can Shop Too

Singaporeans are realistic people, correct or not? We’re very aspirational when it comes to dressing ourselves up, but the insufferable weather can often impede our choices, and even our moods. That’s one of the many reasons people have turned to online shopping as an outlet for convenient, weather-inconsequential shopping. Especially during the later months of the year, it definitely sucks to walk into our favourite high-street stores and find displays of thick sweaters and layered jackets meant to insulate against freezing temperatures. Sure, it may look chic then, but we all know we’re not impervious to the scorch and humidity of our surroundings.
Speaking of, one of our favourite online shopping sites, ZALORA, recently showcased the latest collections of four local designers they partnered up with at their Fashion Futures 1.0 show during SGFW18. Always at the forefront of the fashion market, they presented a shoppable live stream at the event, much like many global luxury brands have done as part of the see-now-buy-now movement, where attendees could purchase their favourite looks from the collections as soon as the models appeared on the catwalk. After seeing the clothes up close, we can forge that they check off every requirement we have as Singapore shoppers. Mostly basics with an unique twist, the pieces are definitely transferrable from school to work to going out and having a fun time. In fact, we loved our local designers’ collections so much that we bookmarked some standout looks so that you can find inspiration and shop them now too! As always, we have a promo code for everyone — scroll all the way to the end!
Ying The Label

Lovelle Dress $199, Pastel Canopies Top $189, Undiscovered Beauty Pants $249, Conquerer Pants $209

Being feminine doesn’t mean we have to be submissive. We love Ying The Label’s collection for its soft silhouettes that we know will keep us comfortable all day long paired with statement prints that won’t fade into the background of our closets. Take for example this slip-dress that’s colour-blocked right in the centre, navy and sky blue. It’s irreverent yet eye-catching, and it gives the illusion of the outfit consisting of colour-blocked separates when it’s actually a one-piece. Or these white palazzo trousers with bold pocket outlines near the waist and sunny tropical prints at the bottom. The subtext? I’m serious on the outside, but look further and you’ll realise I’m super fun to hang around!
Weekend Sundries


Organic Cotton Button-Up Blouse $139, Bloom Maxi Dress $248, Kimono Box Outer $179, Diagonal Dress $179

Weekend Sundries is for the girl who loved her secondary school uniform so much she will only wear variations of the same colour and vibe as an adult. Think basics with a unique twist. This person’s aesthetic is normcore, the idea that being plain is as valid a choice as any other. One of our top must-haves include a white button-up blouse with a revere collar. It’s intellectual yet sensual, two traits every woman aspire to have. Another is the diagonal dress, an otherwise plain outfit if not for the hint of lavender that slashes at one side of the hip.
Gin Lee


Studio Naka Coat In Light Blue $268, Studio Verti Top In Red $148, Studio Wave Trousers In Grey $188, Studio Snow Top In Yellow $168

If clothing reflects our mood, then wearing anything from Gin Lee’s collection means that we’re super excited about life or we’re in a desperate need of a sartorial boost to get through the day. With more covered-up pieces like the bright-yellow drop-shoulder sweater and pastel blue trench coat, we are looking forward to spend the hours in our chilly office feeling cosy and special. We dare you to try on the rose red sweater and report the reaction you get on the street. We bet you’ll stop traffic, and rightfully so.
Ling Wu


LING WU X ONLEWO SIU JIE Pink Botanical $320, Jamie Mini Blue & Brown Mix $128, LING WU X KRISTAL MELSON Asasara $680, Torres White $480

Dare we say Ling Wu’s extravagant bag designs feels like the lovechild of Gucci and Kenzo? With an overarching sense of oriental influence, we’re largely impressed by the croc-embossed bags that look luxurious yet never overbearing. The collection features across a spectrum of maximalism, which frees our imagination and increases our choices. One day we want to blend into the crowd carrying our blue and brown-mix snakeskin clutch, and the next we want to wear the actual snake hissing with its fangs out printed on a maroon box cross-body bag!
