COLLECTION
Diane von Fürstenberg for
GapKids and babyGap
The Belgian-American designer known for
her loud prints and the iconic wrap dress has
created a collection for girls, from newborns
to 14 years old. It’s a bold yet relaxed and
playful range: the wrap dress gets reinvented
with a higher waist detail and vintage DvF
prints are made into cotton shift dresses.
There’s also a range of accessories to match.
$29-$179. #01-18/23 Wisma Atria, 435
Orchard Rd (6732 7051).
COLLECTION
ReConnisseur by AshLee
Thirty-three-year old former professional secretary Ash Lee got set back on her fashion career path when she took part in a T-shirt design competition, coming in second among 300 entrants. She launches her Homebound collection next month: 30 different styles created using techniques like slicing, braiding and laddering on 100 per cent cotton t-shirts in five categories – from reconstructed pre-loved tees to collaborations with local and foreign artists. Why the t-shirt? ‘It is the most basic item in the wardrobe and everyone owns more than a dozen at home,’ said Lee. $49-$129. PARCO next NEXT, #03-02 Millenia Walk, 9 Raffles Boulevard (9474 1588).
