New Arrivals : Ace & Jig Summer'13



We’re not chasing trends, we want to make special pieces that you can wear year after year, with an effortless kind of styling. - Jenna & Cary, Ace&Jig





The latest Summer Collection from Ace & Jig (New York) features pieces made in a delightful spectrum of pastel candy colours. Fancy yarns are thrown into fabrics for added dimension - metallic yarns in lurex stripes, a neon pink in their fabrics, and several twist and slub yarns in their grainsack fabrics.





Our love for Ace & Jig ... cannot be put down into words. But we can surely list our reasons -

(1) Each collection is designed to transcend seasons. Meaning you buy this Spring/Summer 2013 piece, and it should still look relevant in 2016. (2) Every single piece of textile used in their collection is custom designed, and created hand in hand with weavers in India. How rare is that level of dedication? (3) Their allegiance to, and rare understanding of colour. Throwing colours like lime, mango, neon pinks and browns into the mix, and still making it work? We're impressed.


* Ace & Jig is available exclusively at Rockstar at Orchard 22.

New Arrivals : Loreak Mendian


Joyi T-shirt & Gona Skirt


LABEL DEBUT : Founded in 1995 with with more enthusiasm than experience, two Spanish lads embarked on the adventure of creating a clothing brand - and Loreak Mendian was born.

And what an adventure it was. Creating pieces that draw inspiration not from glaring runways, but from the experiences, sights, and sounds of real life, their understanding of a women's form is evident in their bright billowly pants in canary yellows and florals, forgiving A-line dresses in nautical patterns, and tie-back dresses in pretty Bahamas prints.

Each piece is proudly manufactured within the EU.

Loreak Mendian is now available exclusively at Orchard 22.

New In : Knowledge Cotton Apparel



40 years of family experience + responsible environmental practice + passion for quality = The winning formula of Knowledge Cotton.

A Danish company founded in 1969, Knowledge Cotton prides itself on using only high quality and handpicked, 100% Certified Organic Cotton in their apparel. Armed with the knowledge that conventional cotton farming is one of the most water-intensive and cotton is one of the most toxic crops across all types of agriculture, the greater emphasis on using only organic cotton is based on not only on sustainability, but also for the fact that it is softer and gentler for sensitive skin.




The Spring/Summer 2013 collection was designed and developed with nature in mind, and inspired by the big Atlantic waves of Southwest France! Immersed in the local culture, and battling the waves while at that, it led to a whole new understanding of comfort between the beach and boardwalk.

“More than anything, we came away with a new outlook — Remember to take a break. Break out of the box. Get away from the crazy hectic world of ours. Go out and explore the nature. Battle her, taste her, study her details. But treat her well! Above all, enjoy life.” - We couldn't have said it better ourselves.

The Knowledge Cotton Apparel Spring/Summer 2013 collection is now available at both Rockstars (Cineleisure and Orchard 22). From SGD89 to SGD159.

SIFR Clothing: Expect the unexpected





Newest in store are pieces we've handpicked from - our good friend, homegrown label - Sifr's latest drop.

This time round, they looked to the colours of the Earth and the Sky, and referred to the rich textures of South Asia to come up with a winning warm colour palette: You will see breathable jersey knits, dressy shirts with fabrics that have gone through micro-sand finishing (to give unusually soft textures), and an interesting crinkle resin finish. As always, the details are refined, thoughtful, and innovative.

We have come to really enjoy expecting this kind of unexpected from them.

A good range of shirts, knit tops and jersey pants are now available at Rockstar. Have a try and tell us your thoughts.

Brixton wear: Calling all office troopers


Harbour, SGD 59


Lewis, SGD 59


We want you to look at this and think to yourself: You're never too old for great-looking T-shirts on weekends. Think of the concrete we walk on, the sun that beats down our backs, the skyscrapers and carefully pruned plants as our version of sun, sand, and sea.

Go out there, drop your worries about work, and enjoy your urban beach.
