Singapore HeritageFest 2009 :: Ethnic Runway @ Centrepoint :: Overview

Feel the heritage vibes all around you as six festival satellite hubs will be visiting your neighbourhood this Singapore HeritageFest. Each featuring insightful exhibitions, interesting programmes, and performances that will tell you more about your neighbours and people living around you, it will be an activity-packed weekend for everyone in the family!

The world is a melting pot. This is never more stylishly reflected than in the realm of fashion. At this colourful satellite hub, you will be dazzled by our showcase of ethnic wear that is meticulously curated from all over Asia. Check out how patterns and motifs across the various cultures in Southeast Asia are similar, and yet wonderfully unique at the same time!

You will also catch glamour and elegance in action as traditional costumes dominate the limelight in ethnic fashion shows. And if you think the traditional ethnic garb looks out of place in the modern world, think again. Right here at the hub's exhibition, you can have fun trying out various traditional costumes and get tips from our fashion stylists on-site about how to sport a traditional look with modern-day aplomb. So bring the cheong sum, sarong kebaya or sari out of the wardrobe and learn creative ways to don your cultural costume!

Due to unforeseen circumstances, the Mother and Child Fashion Show Competition is cancelled.
