— Jasmine Tuan, Zouk senior media designer
WHEN it comes to cutting edge fashion, Jasmine Tuan knows whereof she speaks. Jasmine is Zouk's senior media designer and she has been organising the club's popular Flea & Easy bazaar that takes place once every three months. She's also a presence in Blackmarket, a new fashion boutique on 19 Jalan Pisang which sells works by either independent or up and coming designers from Singapore and the region. It's a veritable fount of inspiration to people searching for creativity that is more spontaneous and less formulaic. If for nothing, take a look at the chandelier that's made from used Orangina bottles, and the video installation that works like a security camera.What would you like to recommend today?

What makes it special?
Blackmarket (boutique) is a project of Blackmark (a local design studio). It recognises, embraces and gathers Singaporean talents (in terms of fashion, art and design) in one rocking boutique.
What sets it apart from others offering the same thing?
You find unique one-off designs by Singapore fashion talents. Most boutiques in Singapore carry international labels only -- they fail to realise that some local labels are actually of the same standard, if not better, as international labels.
Blackmarket, on the other hand, puts the spotlight on our local labels. It also carries selected regional and international labels alongside. Visitors who come to Singapore can go to Blackmarket to check out a variety of fashion, art and design created by our local talents.
Exactly how good is the service?
Excellent!
