And that’s not all: True to its name, the open-to-all event will take place right in the heart of Orchard Road at the bustling intersection of Grange Road, Cairnhill Road and Orchard Road – a fitting way to pay tribute to Singapore’s iconic and beloved shopping district.

So mark your calendars for June 21! But before that, here is a teaser of some of the names you can expect at the Orchard Road Fashion Scramble.
