Hi Huneybees,

After much anticipation, the i.t store in Singapore is opened on level 3 (#03-15) of Wisma Atria!

Check out the store!

Since the media launch, I've been waiting in excitement for the opening. Too bad I couldn't make it as I was overseas, but it was great that Isabelle went on my behalf and provided the photos (together with media photos) for this blog post...

At the event, there was a fashion show to showcase the apparels from the in-house brands - izzue, b + a b, 5cm, tout a coup, fingercroxx and Venilla Suite, as well as three imported Japanese brands, namely as

know as de base, mysty woman and Pageboy.

Amongst the 500 invited guests were media, VIPs and celebrities. To name a few were - Daniel Boey, Kenny & Andrew from Depression Singapore, Kovit Ang, Trey Wong, Clarence Lee, Larry Yeo, Chua En Lai, The Muttons, Dasmon Koh, Eunice Olsen, Hossan Leong, Kelly Poon, etc...

Mr Sham Kar Wai, Founder and CEO of I.T Ltd and his wife (Famous HK actress - Chingmy Yau 邱淑贞), also specially flew in from Hong Kong to grace the event.

As Piper Heidsieck champagne, Kronenberg beer and Perrier natural mineral water flowed freely, guests also engaged themselves with the first-of-its-kind Insta-Prints in Singapore, where they were able to take photos, hashtag #itsgp and post on Instagram. Within a minute, the photo is printed out for them to take home as a keepsake.

Other engaging activities included two “Button Bars”, where guests can get customised button badges drawn on-the-spot by artists, and a “Braid Bar”, where guests can get their hair braidedwith different ribbons by hairstylists from The Atelier by Shunji Matsuo. Three handsome “Snack Studs”, dressed in crisp white and black, walked around the store to hand out retro sweet treats, in the form of kachang putih and gem biscuits, to guests.

For the snack or the stud?

Woohoo! i.t Is Landing In Singapore!!

Hi Huneybees,

I am trembling with joy! i.t - the Hong Kong-based fashion conglomerate will be making its mark here in Singapore! I don't have to specially fly to Hong Kong for these labels anymore!!! 

For those who have waited long and turning into giraffes, be sure to save up now as i.t steps into the heart of Orchard. Collaborating with Wing Tai Asia, the i.t concept store will be located at #03-15 of Wisma Atria in June. It will be a 10, 200 square foot store, full of spacious space with 9 avant-garde new-to-Singapore, cutting-edge street fashion brands - izzue, b + a b, 5cm, tout à coup, fingercroxx, Venilla suite, as know as de base, mysty woman and Pageboy.

I can totally see the flood of fashionista-s (including me) when the store opens. The brands target both male and female young adults,  between 20-35 years old and they are simply not to be missed if you love layering and standing out from a crowd.

The store would be inspired by i.t Hollywood Plaza store and would be using different woods to construct a variety of patterns, creating i.t's signature edgy look with a touch of different themes for the individual brands. However, before the store is opened, let's take a look at what's to come. Shall we?

The media preview was hosted by Rozz and she was dressed in izzue. Joining her on stage was Deborah Cheng, Vice President of i.t. Ltd. and Helen Khoo, Executive Director at Wing Tai Retail Pte Ltd.

Are you ready to check out the apparels? I know I am!

First up, izzue! It's a brand that all Hong Kong visitors will recognize. It's at almost every corner and has been a leading member in the city's creative design scene. It's original, eccentric and fashion forward. What's best is that it caters to both male and female!

Starting from a mere counter in a shopping mall, b + a b has over 20 stores in Hong Kong now. Endorsed by Angelababy, the brand focuses in designing fashion for a younger target group and has created its very own distinguished image. The brand has different lines - High Fashion, Fashion Line and Jeans Line as well as shoes and accessories.

i.t's house brand - 5cm has been a well-loved label for local fashionista-s since its launch. Here's a brand dedicated to the men who loves different style of dressing. Their signature is the use of classic black and white, and this year 5cm ushers in the brand's 15th anniversary with a collaboration with Terry Richardson. He is the world renowned American fashion, portrait and documentary photographer and he has come up with an ad campaign for 5cm.

tout à coup is established in 2007 and it offers an eclectic wardrobe for young ladies. It has classy fabrics and trendy silhouettes with 3 lines - Tailor, Casual & Fancy Line, and it's definitely something the OLs should check out.

As one of double-park’s house lines, fingercroxx designs clothes inspired by the daily occurrences in life. fingercroxx’s brand logo featuring two crossing fingers delivers a positive message yet carries the meaning of street slang. Also, designers reinterpret the brand logo according to the different seasonal themes. The logo, consistent with the design theme accentuates the wearer’s individuality. fingercroxx focuses on the pattern and fabrics as well as infuses trendy elements and detailing, making the brand a pioneer of the local street fashion scene.

i.t started its first fashion accessories store, Venilla suite to cater to the new generation of office ladies who looks to fashionable products. I.T named the first shoes and accessories shop “Venilla” after the sweet ingredient Vanilla, illustrating an irresistible temptation. Venilla suite’s footwear collection covers every occasion, from work to smart casual or off-duty casual. Comfort is highly regarded at the house of Venilla suite as well as trendiest designs fresh off the runways in Europe. The designs focus on curves and details as well as delicate craftsmanship to create must-have pieces in your wardrobe.
