Following the successful collaboration with the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) and One Kampong Glam Visit Kampong Gelam on recapturing the textile culture at Arab Street, Singapore, we are proud to debut Season 2 of Recapturing the Textile Culture Heritage & Memories of Arab Street.

After the virtual walkabout of Arab Street conducted by Ms Stella WEE of URA, and with the overview of the history and current development of the precinct, Raffles Fashion and Jewellery Designers headed down to Arab Street to commence their research for their fashion collections. In support of the Arab Street merchants, Raffles Designers sourced all the textiles and haberdashery within the precinct to share their stories of Arab Street through their designs.

Eight collections drawing inspirations from the architecture of Sultan Mosque, woven baskets once sold at Arab Street, Malay literature, kebayas, batik printing, kris (an asymmetrical dagger with distinctive blade-patterning), etc, were created to illustrate the rich culture of the street.

This Industry and Community Engagement project offers Raffles Designers the opportunities to apply their design thinking skills to provide creative solutions for a real-life challenge.

Another successful collaboration by Design!
