Early bird tickets are now available for the second edition of Vogue Singapore’s landmark event. Below, a rundown on the events taking place at this two-day extravaganza

Mark your calendars this October as Vogue Singapore’s multi-day landmark event Next in Vogue is returning for its second edition. Following our inaugural event last year that celebrated the realms of fashion, innovation and culture, all whilst building a holistic community that’s constantly on the pulse of the industry, this year’s iteration endeavours to serve the same vision—and more. 

Held from 16-17 October 2024 and proudly supported by The Singapore Tourism Board, Next in Vogue 2024 will bring together global and regional thought leaders to share their insights on the future of fashion, beauty and culture, all through the lens of innovation. 

“Vogue Singapore has always been committed to exploring the intersection of fashion and innovation and the impact it has on the creative economy”, says Desmond Lim, editor-in-chief of Vogue Singapore. “Next in Vogue encapsulates the ideas that are driving the next generation of creatives. It’s important for Vogue to spotlight this talent”.

Taking place at the Capitol Theatre and The Capitol Kempinski Hotel, ticket holders will be privy to insightful panels, beauty masterclasses, a fashion exhibition featuring designs never seen before in Singapore, as well as a first-of-its-kind digital showcase. Tying it closer to home, in this year’s edition, Next in Vogue will also include a special regional focus by gathering designers from Malaysia, Vietnam and Indonesia during the by-invite-only Vogue Singapore Gala hosted at The Capitol Theatre on 18 October. 

Bettina von Schlippe, publisher of Vogue Singapore, adds, “Next in Vogue highlights our role as a catalyst for change in Southeast Asia, bridging global trends with local talent to create a dynamic platform that fosters collaboration and shapes the future of our industry. It’s more than an event; it’s a space where innovation thrives and new ideas come to life.”
