Sometimes you really don’t want to fight the crowds on Orchard Road, mashing yourself in with all the other fashionistas looking for the perfect fashion-forward bargain.

If you’re tired of meeting yourself when you walk down the street and want to expand your fashion horizons, you need to go out of your way and check out one of the interesting new breed of multi-label boutiques popping up around Singapore.

While any Singapore fashion-lover worth her salt will know about the cutting-edge international, regional and Singapore brands carried at the godmothers of Singapore independent fashion – Front Row and Blackmarket, now known as Blackmarket No.2 – but there are new stores out there to discover.

Check out these four interesting stores we think you should know about:

The Society of Black Sheep at The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands is multi-label store stocking brands including British fashion label Bolongaro Trevor, Australian clothing brand Injury and jewellery by Singapore designer Carrie K.

5:10 Concept Store at 49B Kreta Ayer Road, stocks Singapore fashion labels, including Max Tan, Ready Made and Two of Us (pictured above left), as well as accessories from Malaysia, Thailand and the US. Expect to find young and new designers; some real gems.

Nana & Bird at Tiong Bahru Commons is only open on Saturdays and Sundays from 11am to 7pm. On weekdays, you need to call 9117 0430 to make an appointment. The boutique carries a large number of independent brands including Patouf Christelle, Tatty Devine and ila (pictured above centre) from Shanghai, London and New York. Expect to see the unexpected.

Threadbare & Squirrel on North Bridge Road, near Bali Lane, is a multi-label store that carries menswear and womenswear brands, including Singapore labels (pictured above right) Primary and Wander Wonder, and accessories brand Josie Chen from Shanghai.
