SINGAPORE'S list of shopping haunts has just got better.

Two new BCBG Max Azria outlets have joined the ranks of shopaholics' must-visit stores.

The stores, in Ion Orchard and Paragon Shopping Centre, opened on April 1.

The day before that, the brand also held an exclusive fashion showcase of its Spring 2011 collection at Paragon.

Miss Zelia Tan, 21, was impressed with the store's decor. And so was her sister Cyntherea, 17, a finalist in The New Paper New Face contest in 2008.

"It has a fresher feel and is also well-organised, so the shopping experience is better," said Zelia.

"The collection is also impressive. We're both getting a dress each."

There's definitely something for everyone in this Spring 2011 collection.

If you prefer understated chic, then the collection's nude and neutral hues, as well as dreamy drapes, are likely to appeal to you.

Alternatively, if glam is more your thing, the evening gowns in beautiful splashes of colour and daring details would be right up your alley.

Right touch

Expect bold prints and glitzy embellishments for just the right touch of charm.

The fashion showcase was one of the many events held as part of Fashion Season @ Orchard.

You can also look forward to the Fashion Styling Workshop from April 15 to 24.

BCBG Max Azria is located at #02-10/11 in Paragon Shopping Centre and at #B1-28 in Ion Orchard.
