The inaugural Orchard Road Fashion Week turned SCAPE into a five-day showcase for more than 40 independent labels from Singapore and beyond, spanning 25 solo and group presentations across six categories from emerging designers to sustainability-focused brands.

Homegrown names including Keya Studio shared the runway with regional labels like Malaysia's Red Bean and the Philippines' Milkwear, while Finnish design house Marimekko made a guest appearance to show its latest collection. The week closed with a presentation from local designer KINGAMIR, whose collection reworked traditional garments into sleek, contemporary silhouettes.

Organised by the viral street-style page Orchard Road Fashion, best known for documenting Singapore's best-dressed on the street, the event doubled as a natural extension of the page's existing community.
