[edit] 2006 Festival
The 2006 Festival was a ten-day event held from 24 March to 2 April 2006. It was considered the best fashion festival for international and local designers in Singapore. The most featured model taking the catwalk at this festival was British supermodel, Lily Cole.
The festival's main venue was located in a tent at Ngee Ann City, on Orchard Road. More than 30 brands signed up, with most of them displaying their spring-summer designs, and with some displaying their autumn-winter designs. The collections on display were also sold at the event.
In addition to the catwalks, MTV's Fashionably Loud performed at Ngee Ann City. Featured in the performance was UK’s rock favourites Placebo who performed a mixture of old hits and new tracks from their upcoming new album Meds. They were also accompanied by a variety of fashion labels showcasing designs inspired by "Rock Resurrection" portraying themes of destruction, renewal, grief and joy.
