Hi Huneybees,

Last night, I caught Ashley Isham's new collection launch at his Boutique by Ashley Isham in Orchard Central. Ashley Isham has always been my idol and made the red dot on the world map prominnent by making an impact on the world's fashion scene!

A photo with my idol!

Having dressed celebrities such as Florence Welch in 2010′s Brit Awards, Christina Aguilera in the 2007 Grammy Award, Kylie Minogue, Cheryl Cole, Nicola Roberts, Sarah Harding, Nadine Coyle and Kimberly Walsh from girls Aloud, Erin O’Connor, Camilla Rutherford, Shinghai Shoniwa from the Noisettes, Pixie Lott and Lady Gaga. Ashley's high profile clientele includes stars of film and television, catwalk, music and many royalties. With such an impressive list of clientele and achievements, how can I not go support my idol right?

The launch was at Ashley’s 4th retail store Boutique by Ashley Isham in Orchard Central and the collections we were introduced are - A.I. by Ashley Isham S/S 2012, Christian Siriano S/S 2012, Catherine Deen S/S 2012, Ashley Isham A/W 2012 and Ashley Isham Menswear A/W 2012; accessories were by Sara Taseer, all of which, could be found in the store.

Whislst waiting for the show to begin, we shoped around the store...

On the econd floor is a tea room that serves crepes, cakes, Piper Heidseck champagne and cocktails, named Parlour by Ashley Isham.

After Bobby Tonelli's introduction, the show began with the A.I. by Ashley Isham S/S 2012 collection, followed by Catherine Deen S/S 2012, Christian Siriano S/S 2012 and the climax was definitely Ashley Isham A/W 2012 for menswear and womenswear. It's an unconventional fashion show where models had to move up and down the long staircase. It's amazing how they strut their stuff in those 8-inch heels....

Special guest made a special appearance, with her long gorgeous hair, she strut through the store like a DIVA and lept the guests entertained and giggling with her jokes.

Christian Siriano pieces reflected his daring and individual style, making every piece his signature. He has come a long way since Project Runway and I am very thankful to Ashley Isham for letting me catch the first glimpses of Christian Siriano S/S 2012 collection. :)

Yipee! And now for Ashley Isham's A/W 2012 collection. The colours are so bold and every piece is a wow factor. I'm loving the strong green snake skin lookalike fabric.
