You may recall sometime ago I wrote a post about French fashionista – so what about Asian fashion I hear you ask? Well, what could be more fitting than to talk about Asia’s fashion queen, Singaporean-born Christina Ong, owner and managing director of the wildly successful fashion group, Club 21. We know Christina and she is a lovely, elegant lady with impeccable taste. I recall having dinner in Paris during Fashion Week with Suzy Menkes (yes the Suzy Menkes, fashion icon writer from International Herald Tribune) who spoke admirably about Balenciaga, Lanvin, Balmain etc. – all of whom feature in Club 21. So you know that the company must be on the right track!
We adore Club 21 in Asia – men and women alike – and it’s impressively present in Australia, China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan, UK and USA with a huge range of fashion and accessories from the well-known to the funky to the hot up-and-coming designers such as Kriss Van Assche, Dries van Noten, Junya Watanabe, Yohji Yamamoto, Issey Miyake, Neil Barrett, Peter Pilotto….
So here’s just some of the designers we find at Club 21 that we Asians love to rock out to.
Donna Karan, DKNY
Dolce & Gabbana, D&G
Emporio Armani, Giorgio Armani, Armani Collezione…
AX Armani Exchange
Balmain Homme
Paul Smith
Marc Jacobs, Marc by Marc Jacobs
Alexander McQueen
Mulberry
Balenciaga
Comme des Garcons
Lanvin
Calvin Klein, CK for Calvin Klein
Jil Sander
Oscar de la Renta
So the next time you’re in any of these cities, don’t forget to join the Club.
