Out & About : VANS x Liberty of London

VANS are our go-to shoes for brave mornings.

On days like these, instead of decking out in the usual fitted outfits (where you have to worry about every pinch of food you take), we pair loose-fit pieces with equally voluminous counterparts - Cuffed boyfriend jeans with an oversized printed cardigan; A denim outershirt layered over a worn-in t-shirt. We complete the look with a pair of chunky VANS thrown into the mix - The heavy silhouette anchors the baggy look perfectly, and the extra bounce it gives with every step scores you extra debonair points.

Here are our top 3 favourites from the capsule VANS x Liberty collection -



VANS Era in Mountains/Army - (Clockwise from top left) Sifr Essential t-shirt, Monocle magazine, Sifr denim jacket, Komono Sunglasses, Vans X Liberty shoes, Jack Spade L/S shirt, Jack Spade camou structured pouch, Dr Denim chinos, Komono Magnus Watch




VANS Authentic in Leaves/Pink - (Clockwise from top left) Twist & Tango zipper shirt, accessories from Komono & WoonHung, Dr Denim Chino pants, Baggu re-usables, Vans x Liberty shoes, SoYoung lunchbox, Baggu small suede pouch, MCMC Eau De Parfum, Rockstar x Al&Alicia poppy print blouse

Orchard 22 Special : The Unusual Super Kids!

It's an ERP gantry for Unusual Super Kids!


Converse for kids - find them at Orchard 22


This June, Rockstar is honouring the underdogs - The Unusual Super Kids.

The Unusual Super Kids come in all shapes, sizes, colours and smells; The timid bookish one, who always prefers the great indoors; The boisterous one, who never takes it down a notch when it comes time to stand up for a friend against a big bad bully; The funky-smelling one, who finds solace not in plastic dolls, but in dirt, mud and earthworms; And the truly stubborn one, who never lets the jeering during his unusual performance on Teacher’s Day get him down...

Sounds familiar? You probably were one of the rare Unusual Super Kid too. Chances are you were unknowingly moulded by caretakers and guardians who left you to explore without restriction, to learn before understanding reason. The result is something quite brilliant.

We say help break the mould for your little ones once again, won't you? This June, we're pairing our instore kids curation with the unlikely toys available at local toy specialist, Zero2Six.

zero2six carries toys that are safe, innovative and educational - filling a gap in a market saturated with branded toys made out of synthetic materials. They pick well-designed toys that encourage imagination and creativity.

Take Flight - Rockstar x AL&ALICIA Collection.02

Take Flight - The Rockstar x AL&ALICIA Collection.02 is finally here!

A collection inspired by travelling and discovering cityscapes - from Paris to Berlin to Tokyo - and made for the girl who’s young, colorful, girly yet adventurous all at the same time. It's everything we've dreamed about in a collection and more.

The 20-piece collection features stylish, wearable and travel-friendly pieces, ranging from fluid pleated tops to casual shift dresses. The Tencel Jacket, for example, is made from the magical material Tencel that has all the qualities of Silk minus the hassle (machine washable, wrinkle resistant).

An Interview : Rockstar X AL&ALICIA Collection.02

So admist the hustle and bustle of the Weekend Market we threw the long weekend back, we've also found time to sneak in a little interview session with local designer, Alicia Ong from AL&ALICIA.

We've spent the last few months poring over their sketches, attending countless fittings,  and cutting styles we think don't quite make the list. Many adjustments later, we're finally getting things together in preparation for the launch of the Rockstar x AL&ALICIA Collection.02. Mighty excited!


TAKE FLIGHT - Collection.02. More sneaks over here.

Before the 2nd collection hits the stores, we thought we'd reintroduce you to the brains behind AL&ALICIA - So we sat Alicia down for a little chit chat...

Hey it's Alicia!

Rockstar approached you guys to collaborate on a capsule collection. What made you say yes?
Itʼs easy. We like everything Rockstar; from the shoes to the accessories and even the plants! So when we learned they think well of us too, we were more than happy to be able to work together on something special.


What is the difference between this collaboration line and your own line, AL&ALICIA?
AL&ALICIA caters to the contemporary global market with a higher price point, containing a few dressier pieces. The AL&ALICIA X Rockstar (by soon lee) collaboration allows us to explore our casual and fun side with an injection of quirky-ness.


The 1st collection was a success and sold really well - was it challenging to create Collection.02? What was the inspiration for this particular collection?
The hardest thing about creating new collections is to maintain that same consistency but yet bring something new to the plate. The inspiration for Collection.02 is all about traveling and discovering cityscapes from New York to Paris to Tokyo.


With Collection.02, who is the girl you are designing for?
Sheʼs young, colorful, girly and yet adventurous at the same time.





What can we expect from this collection and in what ways are the clothes travel-friendly?
Lots of easy-to-wear separates and chic dresses for day to night travel. Collection.02 features classic silhouettes like the first with an extra dose of prints, patterns and gamine touches.


Plan an AL&ALICIA x Rockstar travel itinerary for a day - Where would you recommend a tourist to visit in Singapore for a truly unique experience?

• Coffee and croissants at Café Oʼbatignolles or Club Street Social
• Take a walk along Ann Siang Hill and visit little shops, bakeries and quirky corners in the area.
• Head to Little India, visit the cultural sights and soak up the vibrant lifestyle along the streets. Pick up interesting finds at Mustafa Shopping Mall thatʼs open 24hrs!
• A stop at the 8Q SAM (Singapore Art Museum) and Art Science Museum is mandatory and we’d suggest heading over to Gardens By The Bay right after Art Science Museum.
• For shopaholics, Orchard Road (as cliché and crowded as it is) is where youʼll be headed. Donʼt be fooled by just the big brands and names; thereʼs plenty of cool shops around Seah Street, Raffles Hotel, Orchard Central and of course, the lovely Rockstar in the heart of it all.
• First time visitors should definitely have Singaporeʼs infamous Chicken Rice. Our favorite would have to be Wee Nam Kee along Thompson.
• End the night with a quick visit to Haji Lane and have a drink at indie Blu Jaz Café.

Lastly, recommend an outfit for this day from Collection.02 -
We love the wearable Jersey Tank Dress thatʼs versatile for day to night travelling but weʼre also torn between the Peplum Pleated Blouse paired with our Poppy Shorts that makes such a whimsy and sassy outfit to walk the streets in.


Stay tuned to be the first to view Rockstar x AL&ALICIA Collection.02. If you loved the pieces from the first collection, trust us - this one won't disappoint.

A Rockstar Exclusive : The ABINGTON Series

6-Eye Canoe Boot, constructed out of full-grain, premium Horween® leather


Lodge Moccasin Ox, a traditional moccasin silhouette on a wedge sole


Lodge Chukka, a contemporary take on the traditional vintage desert boot


As with the debut Abington series in our store last year, only the most premium of materials are used - Vintage Leathers for the uppers and Vibram® soles to take on the harshest climates



ABINGTON Footwear reflects the values, traditions, and work ethic of a time long past. Built by hand, forged with sweat, crafted over time. Things meant more because there was nothing disposable.

This latest collection is inspired by a time when the mountains of New Hampshire (US) were looked at as obstacles to avoid rather then challenges to conquer. That was until a young English gentleman, Frederick Strickland, became the first recorded man in history to conquer it during winter.

His strength, determination and resilience is the driving force behind this hiking-inspired footwear collection.

Exclusively at Rockstar.

Timberland Men's: The Abington line

Something very special came our way last week.

Timberland, the outdoor footwear specialists we have come to really endorse, just launched an exciting line with us: The Abington Collection, a premium extension from the Timberland main line, features exceptional leathers and suedes and even Vibram soles (the very same soles that have conquered Mount Everest).

There is a special sense of refinement and ruggedness to the Abington series that we really like. Particularly how these shoes display dignity on the working men's feet.

Available only at Rockstar and absolutely no where else (not even Timberland boutiques), these shoes are very limited in quantity. The Moccasins come in 3 colours, and are priced at SGD 259, while the Brogue Oxfords come in 2 colours and are at SGD 279. These shoes deliver sure footing in both wet or dry conditions, so you can walk with ease.
