Style collaborations by S’pore brands for National Day

“To celebrate Singapore’s 57th birthday, batik-centric fashion label YeoMama Batik has created a new print and collection, Bloom.

Inspired by national flower Vanda Miss Joaquim, the original orchid batik motif is illustrated in delicate continuous strokes to represent “strength and resilience through both memorable and challenging times”, says the brand.

It does not end there. As part of an upcycling initiative, the label is collaborating with two other Singapore brands and a charity organisation.
