Asian Civilisations Museum

#SGFASHIONNOW returns with its final and largest edition at the Asian Civilisations Museum (ACM) on 27 June 2024. Co-curated with students from the School of Fashion at LASALLE College of the Arts, the series returns to Singapore after premiering in South Korea. It brings together the works of 28 established and emerging designers, and adopts a sustainable exhibition design with upcycled materials.

The #SGFASHIONNOW series celebrates contemporary Singapore fashion through the lens of our multicultural, cosmopolitan port city heritage. Exploring the themes of craftsmanship, innovation in tradition, and urban styles, the stunning pieces on display include iconic works by Benny Ong, Time Taken to Make a Dress, and Harry Halim, once worn by the late Princess Diana, Singaporean actress Constance Lau, and singer Lee Chaelin (CL), from K-pop group 2NE1. This edition also includes a commission by Baëlf Design that pushes the boundaries of fashion and art, on display in Singapore for the first time.

#SGFASHIONNOW: Runway Singapore will be accompanied by talks and a catalogue that provides a unique snapshot of ACM’s continuous, evolving conversation with the fashion community.

Asian Civilisations Museum

The Asian Civilisations Museum (ACM) debuts #SGJEWELLERYNOW, its first showcase of contemporary Singapore jewellery, on 27 June 2024. Staged as an intervention in the museum’s Jewellery Gallery, this unique display highlights works by three prominent Singaporean jewellery designers and houses – Edmond Chin, State Property, and Foundation Jewellers. Each work reinterprets aspects of Southeast Asian heritage, including a Peranakan-style brooch design once worn by the late Queen Elizabeth II. In conversation with the museum’s permanent collection, they celebrate the multicultural influences and exceptional craftsmanship of Singapore jewellery design.
