Huney'Z World: URBAN REVIVO

*Finally got the video uploaded*

Hi Huneybees,

SHOPPING - a "sport" that I love indulging in every day, there is always an excuse to go shopping, be it for a new pair of shoes, to check out the latest beauty product or simply just to enjoy the air conditioning, there is no way I would reject going shopping. LOL!

With the change of weather, comes a new season and maybe it's time to change up your style and closet? Raffles City recently had a refreshing new take on the fashion runway, sending models dressed in fashion pieces and accessories that the mall carries, showing their customers that you don't have to play safe and shop in just one store to get your style going, it's fun sometimes to mix and match across their stores and see what special "concoction" style you can come up with.

Themed as "Your Gateway to Style", new styles are created as the familiar classic get restyled, reworked and reimagined. Retro prints of the '80s as well as the voluminous shapes of the '90s, get updated on the runway of Raffles City's Spring/Summer 2019 showcase under the hands of fashion producer and stylist Jerome Awasthi. He pairs the season's hottest style and trends from international names such as Shanghai Tang, MAJE, Mango, Kate Spade together with Singapore's very own brands such as SABRINAGOH, GINLEE Studio, KLARRA and Womb.

Take a look at the fashion show below...

Hi Huneybees,

There's a new fashion player in town all ready to change our fashion scene - URBAN REVIVO. They are set to take on global competitors such as Spanish clothing retailer Zara, British brand Topshop and Swedish label H&M.

Founded in 2006, URBAN REVIVO officially opened its first store outside of China in Raffles City and Plaza Singapura. Stepping into the store, you are immediately welcomed by the brightly lit, spacious shopping space, where each collection is nicely segregated and arranged for the best shopping experience. You can have your very own private shopping space without having to fight with another browsing customer.

As you walk into every section of the store, there's a showcase of what's new and recommended. Alongside, there's beautiful installations to make the pieces shine even more and its all part of a collaboration with Hong Kong based artist - Pauline Yau to bring her artwork to life in all 180 stores, globally, including Singapore's.

The new collaboration is in line with the brand’s core concept of Play Fashion and marks the latest installment of the brand’s ongoing passion and support for the Arts. URBAN REVIVO x ART is an ongoing collaborative project with various artists. Previously, the brand worked with artists such as Janine Rewell and Juslin Maunula.

Entitled as Motion in Flight, we can experience the pairing of Pauline's organic creations with the softness to URBAN REVIVO's Fall collection. The design concept was selected to create, inspire and evoke a sense of nature, ever changing landscapes and the beauty of Fall, much like the ever-changing fashion cycle each year (Fall-Winter and Spring-Summer).

The artwork will features elements of movement, flashes of colour and pulsing vibrancy of life in nature. You can also find beautiful circular wire-framed structures willing the windows and pillars in stores, with elements of gold butterflies dancing, bringing a pop of vibrancy into the store.

URBAN REVIVO not only carries fashion pieces for the ladies, they have it for the guys and kids as well; with shoes and accessories, this could be your one-stop shop for all your wardrobe needs. Their design are nothing short from the European designs, very in line with what's hot in the fashion scene these days.

For those who are skeptical of a Chinese label, you can throw that behind you as they are very careful with choosing their fabrics, every hem is stitched nicely, you won't find running threads. It's definitely a label that can be on par with those big labels as mentioned above.

The price range is a little steep though, I would say it starts from S$30 and above for each clothing. I would have loved to purchase more, but sadly their range of sizes were not too "big girls" friendly. For those size 14 and above, you might have to try your luck. I really do hope that they cater more sizes, coz I'm pretty in love with their designs.

See! I even picked to wear this adorable suede jumper/dress to attend the Singapore Fashion Week 2017. It's a design you don't see everywhere and it's so vibrant, I definitely stood out from the crowd.

So, if you are interested to check out Urban Revivo, do pop by their stores at Plaza Singapura and Raffles City. More on their website - http://www.urbanrevivo.sg/urbrand.htm?type=home.
