Don't get me wrong - I love luxury and haute couture. I enjoy buying bags from French design houses, shoes from Italian brands, and clothing from English, Swedish and American labels.

Some of them have made it to local fashion weeks and international competitions, and even ventured out of Singapore by setting up brick and mortar stores worldwide.
Here are six local brands you should take note of the next time you go shopping:
