In addition to the tradition hardcopy graduation book, Raffles Singapore produced a pioneering standalone e-Graduation book – providing a uniquely eye-catching, seamlessly user-friendly avenue to highlight, chronicle, and re-live the accomplishments of the entire December 2015 cohort of Raffles graduates.

With Raffles Education’s network of colleges having consistently produced an illustrious stream of successful alumni through the years, the fashion show captivated audience with 27 stunning collections produced by promising Raffles Fashion Designers, including award winners – Harvee Kok who is a masters graduate, previously won Harper’s Bazaar Asia, New Generation Fashion Designer Award at the Bangkok International Fashion Week in 2013 and Emerentia Wardoyo Ong who was the 1st runner-up in the Ecological Green Award in Frankfurt Style Award 2015.
The well-orchestrated fashion showcase has attracted an overwhelming number of guests, VIPs and industry partners. Among the notorious VIPs and guests, we are honoured to have Daniel Boey, Fashion and Lifestyle Event Producer and Fashion Creative Director; Tim Daly, University of Chester Deputy Head (Partnership Management) and Senior Lecturer in Photography; Michelle Chong, Left Profile Artiste, Director of Huat Films Pte Ltd. They were enlivened and impressed with the standards, bursting with creativity from the diversity of students’ backgrounds.
“It was a really interesting fashion show. I love the menswear and I had my eyes on several pieces. I thought the students were very clever in pairing the creativity with wearability because fashion nowadays is all about being able to relate to clothes and be able to wear it. I am huge supporter of Raffles Fashion Shows and I have been there at every single fashion shows and I think the designers have evolved. I can see how they incorporate more trends into their collection and that is very important because as a designer you need to be on trend, in fact you need to be ahead of trend and that’s what I see with Raffles Designers. “Daniel BOEY exclaimed.
