Who’s excited for the biggest, baddest, and glitziest event on Singapore’s fashion calendar? We sure are! With Audi Fashion Festival set to be one helluva party, here are our top 10 picks of the biggest names in fashion (and their Instagram accounts) that’ll be gracing the red carpet and the runway!
Who: @oscarprgirl / Oscar de la Renta
Tribe of followers: 317,574
Follow them: simply because this is one of the world’s most prestigious fashion houses – and especially if you’re fans of this brand’s feminine, sophisticated, and regal red-carpet style. Expect loads of runway shots and video; just remember not to drool on your phone.
Who: @ongshunmugam / Ong Shunmugam
Tribe of followers: 2, 709
Follow her: for a glimpse into the life (and inspiration) of one of our fave local designers, Priscilla Shunmugam. We love her re-interpretation of traditional Asian dress that goes against the grain (in a good way). Plus, if you’re looking for some eye candy, Priscilla herself is gorgeous!
Who: @godfreygao / Godfrey Gao
Tribe of followers: 178,623
Follow him: ‘cause this Taiwanese-born Canadian model is gonna be the most delicious male specimen at Audi Fashion Festival, that’s why! And if you really need another reason, we reckon his super-cute white Pomeranian, Theo, will garner him a whole legion of followers.
Who: @tjinlee / Tjin Lee
Tribe of followers: 10,658
Follow her: for cool things, awesome travel destinations, and plenty of baby swag. Head honcho at Mercury PR, Tjin is the festival director of the AFF. So expect this fashionista mama of baby Tyler (affectionately known as Bubu) to post behind the scenes photos at the festival.
Who: @iwearsaturday / Saturday
Tribe of followers: 390
Follow them: for uber cool, edgy photos representative of the label’s minimalist, clean-cut silhouette with quirky accents. The brainchild of Singapore veteran designers Nic Wong and Daniel Loh, it pays to follow them since our favourite day of the week never fails to perk us up!
Who: @prabalgurung / Prabal Gurung
Tribe of followers: 163,048
Follow him: for an insider’s peek into the fab life of the hottest designer of the moment. Can’t wait for the Prabal Gurung opening show, come 14 May? Neither can we! In the meantime, we’ll just distract ourselves with stunning runway shots, his vacation photos, and adorable selfies off his Instagam feed.
Who: @songofstyle / Aimee Song
Tribe of followers: 1,395,833
Follow her: because no one does California cool like she does. The insanely popular blogger (with over a million followers!) will be one of the biggest names to grace AFF and for good reason: she’s a bonafide style star in her own right with an inimitable chic-ness.
Who: @ashleyisham_ldn / Ashley Isham
Tribe of followers: 1,081
Follow him: because he is arguably Singapore’s biggest fashion success story. The designer will be presenting his capsule menswear collection at AFF 2014 for the very first time and it’ll feature one very tasty male supermodel (ahem, Godfrey). That’s reason enough to be a loyal Instagram follower, isn’t it?
Who: @farahkhanrtw/ Farah Khan
Tribe of followers: 3,530
Follow her: because it’s time you take note of Malaysia’s most esteemed designer. If you’ve never heard of Dato’ Farah Khan, it’s high time you get acquainted with the fabulous, jet-setting dame behind the label’s super glam designs before the presentation of her Fall/Winter 2014 collection at AFF.
Who: @jonathanlianglive / Jonathan Liang
Tribe of followers: 1, 324
Follow him: because he’s a rising star who’s about to make it to the big leagues. The Malaysian-born, Paris-based wunderkind may be young, but we’re betting that Jonathan has what it takes to be the next Jason Wu or Ashley Isham. One look at his designs and you’ll see why.
