Over the next week, caughtcouture will be bringing you profiles of a few of the online boutiques behind the exciting upcoming event THE FASHION UPRISING.
Without further ado, let us present the first store in our series…
Foggiare was born from a desire to turn a love of fashion into a way to make money during university. Founders Evan and Jo started with a vision: to make fashion-forward, quality pieces at an affordable price.
A little over 4 years later, they have expanded to 2 retail stores and a huge team of ‘fun, happy & friendly fashion-loving people!’
In their words, Foggiare is…
“Feminine, chic with a touch of printed playfulness.”
While they draw inspiration from popular brands like Marc Jacobs and other online retailers like ASOS and NastyGal Vintage, they also believe that there is a lot of Singaporean design talent that goes unnoticed.
“[Singaporean designers] bring fresh ideas to our Singapore-style fashion, but do not have enough support from the locals to bring their collections further. It’s a waste really, there’s a lot of good designers, but few survived. It’s all about cost of doing a business in Singapore and striving in a highly saturated environment.”
Here are a few of Evan and Jo’s favourites from the store:

Oakleys are still extremely popular with celebrities, sports stars, and people all around the world. This firm, now based in Italy, creates extremely fashionable designs every season that quickly find their way to the top of that year’s “must-have” list and into stores like Sunglasses Hut. Their iconic styles are still their top sellers, however. Once you start looking, you will see Wayfarers and Aviators everywhere!
