Cheongsam Search in Singapore

I had just visited Arab street in Singapore to look for the materials I will be using in my made-to-measure cheongsam (aka Qi Pao). Having to choose something out of the myraid of possibilities is very taxing for an indecisive person like myself. I think I may be much more suited for off-the-rack purchases. I did, however, enjoy walking through Arab street and realizing that LA Fashion district does have cheaper fabrics. I happen to think that the cheongsam and the kimono/yukata are essential in an Asian woman's closet. And for other ethnicity, well, let's just say WHY NOT? It's pretty!!

Delectable, ain't it?

Well, with the exception of a few pieces, you could probably recreate these Edun looks by shopping your closet a little. But I can't help wanting it all, which means that the people styling Edun's lookbook has done a marvelous job of creating the air of allure that mystifies the product of fashion. Plus, it's youthful AND sophistication. That is, ages from 18 to 38 are all looking to wear these. Edun is just casual enough to live in and just edgy enough to stomp in... ... ...I really do want them all.
