This year marks the 10th anniversary of the infamous Rana Plaza collapse. For the uninitiated, the incident took place in a building known as Rana Plaza which was known for churning out garments for the fast-fashion industry. The incident killed more than 1,100 people and injured 2,500 others. This incident, considered the deadliest garment-factory disaster in history, is the key focus for this year’s Fashion Revolution Week, a not-for-profit global fashion activism movement.

To mark this solemn event and to demand a safe, just and transparent global fashion industry, the Singapore outpost of Fashion Revolution Week has created a zine titled Singapore’s Manifesto for a Fashion Revolution, which will be published on the organisation’s website on April 29. There are also workshops where you can learn mending (an act that is small but significant in resisting the buy-and-dispose forms of fashion), how to use natural dyes, clothing swaps and more.

Head to their Instagram for more details.

April 22-29, various times and locations

If you love a good dance-off battle, Phuture is the place to be this weekend. Queer house music party series Mismatch is back with another instalment that features a dazzling array of house heavyweights like Shigeki, Meraki Soul, Bobby Obby Obby, as well as local stalwart Jeremy Boon, to celebrate the queer roots and the many sounds, flavours, and vibes of the genre. Go-go dancers Glenn Mizrahi and Icar Marciano will be on hand to tear up the dancefloor, accompanied by drag queens Sapphire Blast and Vexx Amen. Veteran dancer and choreographer Amin Alifin will also be on hand to take part in the dance-off against a “mystery battlecat”. Take part in the dance-off and the top winner will walk away with $300 for the top nod, as well as $150 for the runner-up, with winners being booked as dancers for the next Mismatch party.

Last Friday saw the opening of the world’s first Coach Cafe and it’s right smack in one of Singapore’s most buzzy dining enclaves: Keong Saik Road. The American label has taken over an entire shophouse on the road, and the menu, devised in collaboration with local F&B powerhouse Brains & Brawn, is nothing to sneeze at (read: it’s not just finger food). There’s both a day menu comprising of items that nod to both American and Singapore food histories (check out the pancakes with homemade kaya) as well as a well-stocked dessert menu. Of course, the cafe itself is but one component of the overall concept store – here, you can find vintage pieces from the brand’s extensive archive, personalise your purchases with an on-site customisation booth, an art gallery and more.

Ongoing at 5 Keong Saik Road

In recent years, there’ve been more people taking a stab at setting up their own labels, often retailing through social media platforms. This weekend, you can find many of them at a pop-up market titled Graveyard Shift, curated by the conceptual local label An Asylum (their work pictured above). The market serves as an extension of the founders’ belief in creating a community of like-minded creatives within a casual, intimate space and for the inaugural edition, they’re launching with six artists and designers whose works inspire them, including sensual beaded accessories label Denise Chong Adornments and ceramic artist Synceramic.
