Audi Fashion Festival Singapore

Not to be confused with Singapore Fashion Festival, which is now known as Asia Fashion Exchange.

The Audi Fashion Festival Singapore (or Singapore Fashion Week) is a series of annual fashion trade events held in Singapore since 1988.

It was known as Fashion Connection between 1988 and 2000, Singapore Fashion Week between 2001 and 2008, and Audi Fashion Festival Singapore after gaining titular sponsorship from Audi in 2009.[1][2][3][4] The event was again rebranded as Singapore Fashion Week in 2015 despite still being known as the 'Audi Fashion Festival Singapore'.[5][6]

The event is not to be confused with the Singapore Fashion Festival, which also ran between 2001 and 2008, but was supported by the Singapore Tourism Board (STB). The Singapore Fashion Festival eventually became the Asia Fashion Exchange (AFX) in 2010,[7] and hosts the Audi Fashion Festival Singapore as part of its flagship event.[8]

The last event is expected to be in 2017 as current event chairman Tjin Lee is setting her sights on expanding regionally.[9]
