To uncover the next local fashion design star, Nokia has launched the Nokia Singapore Designer Award. Nokia has invited students from LaSalle-SIA College of the Arts, Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts, Raffles Design Institute and Temasek Polytechnic to enter, which will lead to three finalists being selected and one collection making it onto the SFF catwalk. The winner of the award will have his/her collection showcased alongside four established young designers’ collections, and on the same catwalk as the world’s leading labels.

The Nokia L’Amour Young Designer Show features the latest collections from the five designers. Each designer had also included a unique L’Amour-inspired piece as part of their collection. The designers found L’Amour-inspiration in the faded luxury of exotic architecture from far-flung continents, and interpreting the decadent glamour of a starlet’s boudoir.

“We look forward to seeing how the designers interpret the exotic and romantic themes that are found in our L’Amour Collection of fashion phones,” added Mr Carr.
