On 6 and 7 June, Upstairs Garments—the shophouse attic store at 75B Tanjong Pagar Road that has quietly become one of the city’s most respected archival fashion destinations—is staging See See Look Look, a retail-gallery popup market at Supper House, Tanjong Pagar Distripark. 33 vendors. Eight countries. One space where you can pick up a Comme des Garçons AW93 dress, browse a rare Yohji Yamamoto photo book and stand in front of a teamLab installation—all on the same afternoon.
Behind it are four friends in their early twenties: Vegas Lee, Adrienne Chrisdee, Ong Ker Hsien and Xavier Eger—a filmmaker, a graphic communications graduate, an engineering student and a business student. They opened Upstairs Garments in a shophouse attic in March 2024 with a very specific vision: serious archival fashion, priced and presented for people who actually want to wear it. Two years later, the international clientele has grown, the reputation has followed and See See Look Look is the next, logical, considerably larger step.
The event is also a quiet provocation. “Compared to other cities, we still have some catching up to do,” says co-founder Ong Ker Hsien. “KL has a more diverse scene, Bangkok has arguably the best archival fashion scene in Southeast Asia. That’s exactly what we’re trying to challenge.” By bringing together vendors from Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines, Japan, the USA and beyond—alongside 19 homegrown Singaporean brands—the market is making an argument about what Singapore’s creative scene is actually capable of when given the right space to do it in.
“KL has a more diverse scene, and Bangkok has arguably the best archival fashion scene in Southeast Asia. That’s exactly what we’re trying to challenge.”
The venue helps make that case. Supper House is a multidisciplinary creative space that houses three teamLab artworks—among the only works by the Japanese collective accessible to the public in a gallery setting in Singapore—alongside rotating contemporary art. It is a fitting backdrop for a market that refuses to separate fashion from culture. Among the archival grails expected on the floor: a Saint Laurent Paris SS15 “Psych Rock” Napoleon Jacket, a Comme des Garçons AW93 “Synergy” Floral Dress, a Christian Dior by John Galliano 2004 “Rasta” Saddle Bag and an Issey Miyake SS10 Striped Panel Circle Skirt. Be sure to head down early.
Here is a look at some of the vendors worth knowing before you go.

Comme Please
Archival fashion for mid-sized bodies—an important and often overlooked perspective in a space that can default to sample sizing. The selection reframes archival dressing through a more inclusive lens, focusing on fit, proportion and wearability without losing the integrity of the original pieces.

IscariotPisces
Iscariotpisces works primarily through metal, shaping and assembling jewellery that leans into raw textures, precision detailing, and an almost sculptural sensibility.
