The Haute Couture Exhibition by Women's Fashion Week, running from 26 to 30 October 2011, is a selection of carefully chosen pieces from the designers who will be showcasing during the Haute Couture Week at Marina Bay Sands from 26 to 30 October 2011, including Anne Valerie Hash, Atelier Gustavolins, Christophe Josse, Stephane Rolland, Dominique Sirop, Alexis Mabille, Maxime Simoens and Eymeric Francois.
Following the immense success of Men’s Fashion Week 2011 (MFW 2011) Singapore, held in March/April this year, is the inaugural Women’s Fashion Week 2011 (WFW 2011) Singapore to be held at the Expo and Exhibition Centre, Marina Bay Sands once again, thanks to the event’s Title Sponsor, The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands.
Organised by SENATUS and Fide Multimedia, WFW 2011 Singapore will present a season of exclusive shows which will showcase the Best of Haute Couture from 26th to 30th October.
Frank Cintamani, WFW 2011 Singapore’s Chairman and Founder of Fide Multimedia, says, “Throughout its rich history, both Haute Couture and the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture which regulates it, have been regarded as representing the most exceptional, refined and skilled fashion and couture in the world. With Singapore's evolving position as a sophisticated and affluent global centre for fashion, it is both timely and appropriate that Haute Couture, which is the epitome of fashion talent, expertise and craftsmanship, should be so extensively represented here at the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore”.

A beautiful piece by Maxime Simoens
Maxime Simoens' pieces have always been memorable (especially since hoards of the high profilers have been spotted wearing them) and the above dress too might seem familiar to you - it was the same number that music superstar Beyonce put on for the fabulous promotional photo shoot with Greg Gex for her latest album '4'. It is the same dress that is on the cover of the deluxe edition of the album. Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester (as the poor little rich girl Blair Waldorf) also donned the dress on the show.
We can clearly see that Blair Waldorf is a fan of Maxime Simoens. The above picture features Waldorf in Gossip Girl Season 4, Episode 1: "Belles De Jour".
