If you’re looking for something educational to do this weekend and have a personal penchant for fashion, don’t miss these two exhibitions focusing on Singaporean style both past and present. Modern Women of the Republic: Fashion and Change in China and Singapore displays close to 100 artefacts and photographs, focusing on Chinese women’s clothing, accessories and lifestyle in China and Singapore for the past century. Sun Yat Sen Nanyang Memorial Hall, 12 Tai Gin Road, 327874. Until Dec 12. sysnmh.org.sg/en
Bringing fashion into the new millennium is Asian Civilisations Museum’s latest exhibition, #SGFashionNow. Highlighting cross-cultural ideas and works by eight local practicing designers and future creatives, it also features curator tours and craft and design workshops. Also, it makes a nice change to staring at yourself wearing trackies in the mirror. ACM, 1 Empress Place, 179555. Until Dec 19.nhb.gov.sg/acm
