DE:CENTERING

DE:CENTERING signals a deliberate shift in perspective—foregrounding fashion practices shaped by Southeast Asia’s cultural landscapes, material conditions and lived realities.

In response to the structural challenges of the global fashion industry, these designers propose considered, meaningful approaches to creation and production—speaking not from the margins, but from within place.

From explorations of cultural identity and gender to an emphasis on materiality and craft, this year’s graduates refocus fashion’s gaze toward the tropics. Singapore is positioned not at the periphery, but at the centre of an evolving fashion geography—where fashion becomes a site of reflection, regeneration and renewal, uniting creativity, ecology and enterprise in shaping future identities from this region.

Collections will be unveiled on 14 May 2026.
