Singapore’s Surrealist Love Scene
Author: SamIn the realm of accommodations, Singapore luxury hotels are a whole world apart. Nestled in one of the world’s most interesting and livable cities, the hotels are a beautiful combination of old-world traditions and absolutely contemporary style. There is an extremely lively youth culture here, and they have a fascinating way of adopting the latest trends, recycling them, and then turning them into something entirely local. Art, design, and visual culture generally are watched and absorbed very carefully, and then refabricated in new and innovative ways. The hotels are a mirror of this, where the best of the old world, with traditions of hospitality and graciousness, are added to the most cutting edge trends in hotel living, to make for a very lovely experience for guests. With incredible food, and a very knowledgeable staff to help you plan your days, your stay here is destined to contain adventures.
Some of these things will become apparent as soon as you walk outside the door, where the incredibly lively urban scene will play out before your eyes. People watching is at a premium here, and there are way too many things to do. With restaurants featuring delectable meals, clubs playing some of the hottest beats in Asia, and live performances that demonstrate the best in live art, this is a place to see and to be seen. Fashion, of course, is a big part of urban life, and one of the coolest places in Singapore is Surrealist Love Scene.
Started by a group of four like-minded (read: extremely hip) individuals looking to unite fashion and rock culture, Surrealist Love Scene is a physical store in Singapore with an interesting on-line presence. Too cool even for a website, their store is a blog, with updates on some of the newest trends in fashion in Singapore, Asia, and the world. The writing is incisive and witty, and their taste is really impeccable. They carry and distribute some of the coolest labels out there, and their world of fashion has a global scope, and a local feel that is utterly modern.
