Fashion Expressions at Suntec City Mall

EcoChic Singapore will open two weekends of fashion-related activities at the ‘Fashion Expressions at Suntec City Mall’. This exciting event will celebrate all things fashionable and trendy with a dose of eco inspiration. Looks from around 40 international designers representing some 25 different countries will hit the EcoChic runway, proving to Singapore’s weekend shoppers that sustainable fashion is fun and stylish.

The participating designers will showcase their work in two categories: eco and ethical ready-to-wear fashion and accessories and eco-couture.

The aim of EcoChic Singapore is to raise awareness about sustainable fashion and highlight how consumers and designers can minimize their impact on the environment. The event, which will include a catwalk show and exhibition, will provide a great learning experience for Singapore’s fashionistas about the advances in eco-fashion on the style front!

EcoChic Singapore coincides with a government-backed initiative called Asian Fashion Exchange. This scheme aims to develop the fashion industry and position Singapore as a fashion centre, paving the way for innovation and creativity. We hope to find shoppers particularly receptive to the ‘EcoChic’ concept and to attract the attention of many more fashion industry professionals to the growing opportunities in sustainable fashion.

Rest assured, we will be taking measures to ensure that the biggest impact of our event is on the audience, not the environment. We will be striving to limit our carbon footprint wherever possible and we will have an independent carbon audit performed so that we can offset the carbon produced in holding this event.
