Returning for the second year at the Men’s Fashion Week and the only Singaporean label is Reckless Ericka. Designer Afton Chen and Louis Koh took inspiration from the works of Michael Garlington, an acclaimed Northern California photographer. Both male and female models were styled uniformly, emphasizing its androgynous theme. Patterns, solid colors, volume and layering best describe Reckless Ericka’s collection.

True to its name, BODYBOUND’s collection showcases its new take on menswear at the Singapore Men’s Fashion Week with a bondage-inspired aesthetic. The collection was a concoction of wild yet tailored pieces, from button-down shirts detailed with bronze tartan patterns; textured, metallic fabric panels and scarves; as well as buckled silver harnesses – a daring mix of structured menswear and unabashed, sexy rock and roll.
The show took the audience to a dystopian and futuristic era with its cohesive collection.
