New Byzantium : Raffles Graduate Fashion Parade 2013

Considering Byzantium was the height of civilisation of the old world perhaps New Byzantium is a truly fitting title for the 2013 Raffles College Graduate Fashion Parade; Which was, in terms of the creativity and quality of the fashion on show, a truly stunning fashion spectacle. Yes you don't hear me talking like that very often now do you!

And in amongst a consistently high standard were to my eye a few outstanding designers - there must be something in the water at Raffles at the moment.. Sharon Widjaja, stylishly elegant in white; Matiny Ng's over-the-top yet, still wearable designs; Rebecca Chen's tasteful futurism in whites and pinks; Skye Hays soft feminine dresses.. Great menswear that I will blog separately too, yes I will; along with more shots from some of the designers I enjoyed the most.

Here are 30 talented emerging designers in 54 pictures; my largest post ever, and I am not through with these designers yet so DO follow here or on Facebook to be sure you stay up-to-date. And please DO use the Share buttons below to share this fashion story with your friends. Enjoy; Kent Johnson.
