Just as Singapore has flourished through harmony and diversity, this tapestry is a symbol of our nation’s unwavering spirit as we step into the next chapter of our journey.
SG60 is not just a milestone, but a celebration of the unity that makes us stronger together. The intricate motif reflects the rich cultural tapestry that defines our nation, drawing inspiration from the diverse ethnic groups that have shaped Singapore.

"I hope the collection brings out a sense of quiet pride — the kind that comes from recognising small, familiar details that reflect who we are."
— Designer, Nicolette Wong
