From high-end fashion to exclusive local and<br />

Asian labels—<strong>Singapore</strong> has it all.<br />

Shoppers in <strong>Singapore</strong> are<br />

certainly spoilt for choice,<br />

and the arrival of various<br />

acclaimed international brands<br />

in recent months means more<br />
