The house of Qiu Hao presents “Something Growing” at the Singapore Fashion Festival 2008.

Shanghai-based fashion designer QIU Hao (邱昊) presented his spring-summer 2008 collection at this year’s Singapore Fashion Festival. Mr. Qiu’s new collection is entitled “Something Growing”, inspired by quietly confident women the world over.

The collection, created using silk, leather, lyocell, lambskin, snakeskin, wool and cotton, will be in the palettes of beige, milk-white, snow-white, grey, moist green, black, muted silver and dark gold. Qiu Hao’s aesthetics of fluid lines, stark shapes and immaculate cutting to create clothes that are to-the-point, wearable and timeless will continue to be featured in this collection.

For his debut in Singapore, Qiu Hao has also created several pieces exclusively for the dynamic and witty Singapore woman and the Festival. These include lambskin jackets that are meant for the summer, avant-garde chandelier crystal necklaces and intimate lingerie created using unconventional fabrics and fibers.

Visitors have also seen pieces that feature Qiu Hao’s signature knot design.

Qiu Hao commented:

“My clothes are designed for the women who enjoys going on a journey of discovery, and can be worn endlessly. Each time they wear my clothes, they gain a new insight about themselves, they find new confidence in themselves, and it amuses them.”
