What: The six-year-old Israel-based label of Singapore designer Gin Lee is carried in over 20 stockists worldwide, including the Tangs department stores here and multi- label store Kapok at the National Design Centre. Last year, the Central Saint Martins alum won “Emerging Designer of The Year” at the Singapore Fashion Awards.

Why know it: For her elegant and minimalist take on wardrobe classics such as column dresses and kimono- inspired frocks – the sort of designs with a broad appeal, whether you like monastic silhouettes or relaxed staples.

What to expect: Lee distils the conceptual and highly geometric  works  of  feted  Japanese  architect  Ryuji Nakamura into wearable designs that are also perfect for layering. Among them: a blouson with origami folds in millennial pink, and a petrol blue maxi dress rendered with multi-directional pleats. Look out for Ling Wu’s signature exotic skin wares as well – the bag maestro will be showcasing her new range of leather handbags together with Lee in her Singapore Fashion Week debut.
