It’s more than an event; it’s a space where innovation thrives and new ideas come to life,” says Bettina von Schlippe, publisher of Vogue Singapore.

1. Tune in to dialogues themed on ‘AI and I’ 

As technology continues to evolve, it’s only natural that Artificial Intelligence emerges as the key topic of conversation, investigating its impact across various industries and the crucial role of human interaction in our ever-more digital landscape. On the first day of Next in Vogue, the focus will be on the dynamics between emerging technologies and the future of creative industries. Day two will examine this idea from a human perspective, analysing how businesses, artists and leaders are adjusting to rapid change. 

Among the esteemed speakers are Academy Award nominee Stephanie Hsu; Cyril Foiret, founder of Maison Meta; Calum Knight, creative director of SHOWstudio; and Mollie Rogers Jean De Dieu, Managing Director of Longchamp Singapore and Malaysia.

In addition, Vogue Singapore will introduce a special instalment of the Next In Vogue Conversations podcast, exploring themes tied to the event. Produced by Poddster, attendees can look forward to enjoying live podcast recordings at an on-site station created in partnership with the podcast production studio. 

2. Admire the elegance of red carpet styles by Asian designers

Vogue Singapore is set to unveil an exhibition showcasing red-carpet looks by Asian designers, many of whom will be debuting their creations in the Garden City for the very first time. The ‘Vogue Closet’ section features Asian-American designer Chet Lo, Vietnamese designer Cong Tri, and avant-garde Indian couturier Gaurav Gupta, who has dressed Hollywood celebrities like Beyoncé and Cardi B.
