In October, a black and white wave is set to crash over Singapore with renowned local and international artistes, designers and retailers pledging their support to the Black & White movement - a public education movement that is helping Chengdu Pambassador raise awareness and support for the endangered giant panda.

Rising star Cher Lloyd (famous for her No. 1 debut single “Swagger Jagger” and appearance on Britain’s version of The X Factor) will headline the event.
The Great Spy Experiment has been featured in internationally renowned events such as the Baybeats, Mosaic, ZoukOut and South-by-Southwest festivals.
Singaporean designers DEPRESSION and Dresstronomy will be showcasing exclusive black and white pieces created in support of panda conservation during the event.
The competition is organized by the Chengdu Panda Base, the world-renowned breeding and research base for giant pandas, and co-organized by WildAid and Yao Ming Foundation.
In addition to the artistes and designers, key retail and corporate partners have come on board to help spread the word about panda conservation by both supporting Chengdu Pambassador events in Singapore and encouraging Singaporeans to learn more about panda conservation. These include 7-Eleven, DFS and Redken. 7-Eleven will be introducing a 16oz limited edition panda cup at the event, in addition to hosting in-store promotions in Singapore starting 3 October.
The recent arrival in Singapore of two giant pandas from China has sparked increased interest in panda conservation, making the country ideally suited to help increase awareness of the need to protect the endangered species.
