Denim Shirt As Outerwear

Ever been called a complete loon for donning double layers in Singapore?

When weather is on full-blast tease mode (in this case - torturous all-day-drizzling), it's hard to predict how much you should be throwing on without being one sloppy, sweaty mess by the end of the night. We're not encouraging reaching for the nearest double breasted suit, but rather breaking up the normal layering routine (the cardigan, anyone?), and playing it up with a an easy denim shirt.

It's the perfect layering tool.




For Him - Aiden shirt by Dr Denim, layered over a WeSC Alonso S/S Henley, paired with berms from Jack Spade. Shoes from Jack Purcell, and accessories from Komono, WeSC & Kiel James Patrick.




For Her - Dark Denim Shirt from WeSC, layered over a Twist & Tango Tiffany Dress. Classic 2750s from Superga, and accessories from Baggu, Komono & WoonHung.


Featuring new arrivals in store from WeSC, Twist & Tango, Jack Purcell & Komono. All products can be found at Rockstar, Orchard 22.

Out & About : Play Tourist for a Day

Pick a day - Go offline with your other for a full 12 hours (we dare you to). And we mean offline; no facebook / instagram / twitter. You have to be serious about this mini expedition, so be your own conscience!

Play tourist for a day with a film camera. Snap away – skies on windows, old alleys, a crack in a beautiful tiled wall.

 FOR HER - Dress strategically. Al&Alicia Poppy Print Blouse (latte) & a Loreak Mendien Pirata Pants (twill blue) keeps things breezy. Ensure drinks & dips stay cool in a SoYoung Cooler Bag, and be kind to your feet with all that walking with TOMS' Classic slip-on (faded tropical). 

 FOR HIM - Keep things interesting with a Sifr Henley Ice Wash Shirt (olive) and Jack Spade Shorts (navy), complete with a multi-tone Timberland Heritage Boat Shoe (earth tri-tone). Don't forget that analogue cam - La Sardina Lomography (moonassi edition).

All products can be found at our Orchard 22 boutique.

To the Screening of : THE GREAT GATSBY

We really like being housed in a cineplex: We're always the first to know when new movies are released, and always inspired by the buzz that comes from big/good/innovative films. This time round, the one that is getting us all geared up has to be The Great Gatsby. Despite the varying reviews, we are completely sold by their over-the-top trailer. 
The glitz, drama, and extreme decadence of the roaring 20's is so captivating. While we're decades late, how fun to relive the era (in our 3D glasses no less) for one night.  To complete our inspiration, we've put together our best Great Gatsby ensemble for you: From the cutest art-deco necklace, gold leather tote, to the smartest suede shoes and handsome well-cut shirts.

And while you're at it, we found this super cute tutorial on grasping the Charleston dance. Did somebody say after-party?

Our newest baby... Rockstar at Orchard 22

2012 has been a crazy year for us.

We walked barefoot for a day in store on April 10 for One Day Without Shoes, inspired you to go Live your Story and who could forget the much-talked-about and completely sold-out Warehouse Sale?

Whilst our store at Cineleisure steadily tides you through your festive shopping with our annual Festive Market, we're bringing the big guns out and ending the year with a different kind of bang... At the other end of Orchard Road.

Last Friday, we officially threw (flung!) open the doors of our newest, and our biggest Flagship Rockstar store at Orchard 22.



Housed on the ground floor of a newly revamped building that is currently under conservation, Rockstar at Orchard 22 is located at the end of Orchard Road - right next to the Macdonald House, and a stone's throw away from Dhoby Ghaut MRT.

We want to run you through the store, starting by introducing you to a collaborative project that we've been working on together with, hands-down (!), our favourite Singaporean designer -



The debut Rockstar X Al&Alicia apparel collaboration!

‘We’re paying tribute to the gentlemen around us while we pinch style ideas from their wardrobes'

Inspired by the great pillars of strengths in our lives, our debut collection 'The Boy in Me’ features a collection of easy-to-go separates - everything from light tees, fitted shorts, flowy trousers, printed skirts, loose cotton shirts and shift dresses. Al & Alicia’s signature “effortless chic” is present in everything from the spot-on tailoring to the wearable design.




The sassy ladies from Al & Alicia could not have summed up it up more aptly. This on-going collection is only available at Orchard 22.

Kiel James Patrick : New England Sophistication

The inspiration for the Kiel James Patrick brand was brought on by years spent exploring vintage clothing stores, antique shops and friend's attics in search of the age-old quality, style and construction once easily found in American made goods.





Soon, those aspects of classic wares became a starting point for the KJP brand, which embraced the simplicity of design and regal nature of old family tartans, regimental stripes and high quality woven goods from Scotland, England, Ireland and the USA.







From humble roots as a personal hobby, and now selling out inventory at craft shows throughout New England and being stocked in the finest stores worldwide, the Kiel James Patrick brand has always maintained its commitment to solid construction and American Made virtue. From the buttons to each individual stitch, every KJP bracelet is 100% USA Made.
