Grade A
A/X Armani Exchange’s (#02-13/14 Paragon, 290 Orchard Rd., 6732-5726) collection for Spring is understated yet rebellious. Eastern influences collide with west coast rocker chic through a collection that fuses neutral colours such as navy, black, white and grey. The mix of organic fabrics and elongated silhouettes ensure that the cuts are always flattering (especially if you’re well-toned as well), while for the ladies, look out for floral printed dresses, striped knit polos and willowy tops.

All Geared Up
Denim lovers must not miss Diesel’s (#02-40 Paragon, 290 Orchard Rd., 6732-3525) hot Spring/Summer collection. Ensuring boys and girls that they look good all the time, the jeans are cut in such a way that waistlines are semi-low, and look best when cinched with big multi-buckle belts. The cut is also slim, with small embellishments and functional pockets ensuring that the look remains accessible yet rugged.
