SURRENDER
CHANG LING LIN, 25, MERCHANDISER
The SS ’20 mood There’s a playful, free and energetic spirit across most collections. Pastel colours, such as pink, blue and green, plus bandana prints in red and blue, are dominating. I think vintage, luxury streetwear is going to blow up in 2020 – think vintage bags (LV, Gucci, Fendi) paired with oversized ’80s tees, baggy ripped jeans, cropped tops, worn sneakers, and bucket hats. This trend has been steadily growing since FW ’19.
Surrender is at #01-03 268 Orchard Road (tel: 6733-2130), open daily from 11am - 9pm.
