SINGAPORE - The retail space built to showcase local designers in the heart of Orchard Road will be undergoing a change of management after operator Naiise decided to pull out early.
Design Orchard, which features about 60 local brands, was launched in January last year as part of government plans to rejuvenate Orchard Road and boost up-and-coming local designers. Mr Tay said Naiise had met most of its targets for the first year of the Design Orchard's operation, helping to showcase more than 90 new-to-market and emerging local brands, as well as running a mentorship programme headlined by industry leaders.
"As part of their plans for the retail showcase, they will enhance the existing mentorship programme and increase the number of open calls to widen the range of local brands and new products," said STB. RE:ERTH was one of the brands that pulled out of Naiise after experiencing payment delays, but Ms Toh said there have been no issues at Design Orchard, which has a separate finance team accountable to the STB. She said the brand's presence at the Orchard Road showcase has led to higher sales and several distributorship enquiries.
