This study examines the popularity of local clothing brands within young Singaporean women and their ideas of style and fashion. Through qualitative in-depth interviews with 10 women aged 22 to 26 years old and thematic analysis of social media pages, findings reveal that while ideas of fashion is largely individualistic, it is heavily influenced by content sharing online.
