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.

However, when it comes to standing out at events and functions, I often turn to local designers to get my dose of fashion inspiration. Why? I personally feel that they are on par with many international brands worldwide.

Local designers have an acute sense of fashion, and draw inspiration from personal experiences and all things familiarly Singaporean.

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:

Shop here if you wish to build a dream monochrome-only wardrobe because black and white combinations never fail to amuse you.
