Went for two fashion shows, which were part of the Singapore Fashion Week 2005, on Wednesday night at The Arts House. Saw a few luminaries including Hong Kong stripper singer, Alex To, who was standing just less than a metre away from me, and MediaCorp actress Lynn Poh sporting a hairdo that would make an Afro wilt in shame.
The first show was from the Posse label, which was held in the tiny room aptly known as the Play Den. The organizers clearly underestimated the size of the crowd, started the show 40 minutes late and left many people stranded with no way of squeezing into the room to catch the show. It was just awful.
Thank goodness for my friend Denise, who had the foresight to stand inconspicuously at the head of the queue, and who out-yelled some bossy auntie in order to grab us seats.
The second was from Indonesian label (X)S.M.L and held in the larger Chamber room, where parliament sessions used to take place. The collection was funkier, larger and pret-a-porter. Pity the designers did not take a bow at the end.

hello added these pithy words on Oct 26 05 at 11:48 pmAm curious.. I wanted to go..but decided not to. Was it open to public? Can anyone just get in? Lastly, can anyone just take photos while inside? Your photos are not bad!
