Art enthusiasts should be sure to put aside some time during their trip to Singapore to check out an exhibition of photographs taken by fashion icon and superstar designer Karl Lagerfeld.
Although more famous for his distinctive silver hair and iconic fashion creations, Lagerfeld is also passionate about photography.
Visitors to Singapore can see the fruits of this hobby by heading to The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands later this month, where a selection of pictures taken by the designer are on display.
The exhibition is brought to Singapore by Men's Fashion Week, the marquee event on Singapore's fashion calendar in 2011.
Speaking ahead of the opening of the exhibition, Lagerfeld described how photography has helped widen his "vision", since he was previously completely involved in the world of fashion.
What interests me, what I am passionate about, is the different developing techniques, all that we can do - and what we can no longer do. It is as important as the photography itself"
The word is that Lagerfeld first picked up a camera when he was working for Chanel and disliked the images being produced to advertise certain items. He was told to go take the pictures himself if he did not like what was on offer, Lagerfeld - which is exactly what he did.
Men's Fashion Week 2011 in Singapore takes place from 30 March to 3 April 2011.
The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands are open Sunday to Thursday 10am to 11pm and on Friday & Saturday from 10am to Midnight.
More details on this exhibition will be provided soon. Please check back on this space for updates!
