Drama was clearly where Singapore fashion label Zardozë’s Autumn Winter 2013 collection was heading. The opening soundtrack featured a quote from The Great Gatsby, “I like large parties. They’re so intimate. At small parties there isn’t any privacy†before piping music from the soundtrack of the Baz Luhrmann-directed movie.
If that was to indicate the collection would reference the glitzy 1920s, you guessed right. The Zardozë ready-to-wear collection was designed around the concept of nostalgia and the pinning for a time long past. However even though there were sparkling embellishments aplenty, it was hard to see what was retrospective about the collection.
Metallic snakeskin in electric blue and silver appeared on the runway for the Zardozë ready-to-wear line on tailored blazers and pants, alongside modern day gowns and shift dresses that were perfectly wearable, but didn’t do much to excite. What it did however, was whet our appetites for the highlight of the show, the Panthea line.
The Zardozë Panthea line, the Singapore-based label’s couture line came up trumps with spectacular gowns, each more amazing than the one before. The proof was in the pudding; with front row A-list stars Fann Wong and Rui En showing their support in bespoke Zardozë Panthea gowns, Wong in a jaw-dropping floor-sweeping black gown and Rui En in a emerald green stunner.

More than just fashion shows — we check out what else to put on your must-do list for Audi Fashion Festival 2013
1. Celebrity-watch and gawk at the most outrageous fashion getups.
We might have neither Anna Wintour nor a bevy of Hollywood A-listers gracing the front rows of the fashion shows, but fashion festivals are nevertheless a chance for the rich and the famous (and quasi-famous) to make an appearance in all of their sartorial glory.
Besides designers Mrs Herrera and Carolina Herrera de Baez, Tsumori Chisato, and Hussein Chalayan who will present their respective shows in person, expect also appearances by local celebrities like Fann Wong and Rui En for Zardoze, and Victoria’s Secret supermodel Erin Heatherton, who will open Raoul’s A/W 2013 show.
