Men's Fashion Week 2011

Yeap, you heard it right. In 2011, Men’s Fashion Week (MFW) is going to be held outside the fashion walls of Paris and Milan. Where else could It (New York? Tokyo? Maybe London?) Well, if I’d make a guess or hold fashion week somehow I’d pick Antwerp for I believe that brilliant minds congregate there.  Point is that all those mentioned were WRONG! For the first time EVER...MFW is set to be held HERE in Singapore..  I know some of you are going “ OMGGG WTF??? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? ” I am not, but I share your sentiments and reactions.

Though the thought of just having Men’s fashion week here in Singapore sends tingles up my spine, I actually do have mixed feelings about it . By spending so much time on the streets and traveling frequently, I somehow get the impression that people here aren’t that experimental and creative with what they wear compared to other cities.  Adding those characteristics with the tropical climate we have here, is no good news. I mean isn’t one of the highlights of fashion week, the people who goes to the shows and the eye-catching clothes they have on? Eye-catching clothes for men means layering, yes?  How is that suppose to be done with such a weather restricting them? Also, with the lack of people whom are willing to experiment, i doubt (but would love to be proven wrong) that the clothes worn for the shows here would be as extravagant compared to the ones before.

Anyhow, I’m still proud and excited about MFW and hope it encourages more people living here to be more adventurous and creative when dressing up-  so taking street snaps wouldn’t seem like such a chore!
