Shopaholics and fashionistas will find themselves in fashion heaven as Blueprint Emporium 2010 debuts with one-day only shopping and party lifestyle event next month.

Visitors will have an opportunity to view and shop collections that are not readily available in Singapore.  There will also be cruise collections and diffusion lines made especially for Blueprint, as well as labels that don't have a presence in Singapore. Look out for Al&Alicia from Singapore, Johanna Ho from Hong Kong and KTZ from London.

Be sure to look out for limited edition and sample piece items at the various pop-up stores too.

And if you haven't got enough of fashion after all that shopping, there are treats of catwalk shows by AWOL, benWU and Vice & Vanity, hair shows by Shunji Matsuo, bites and beverages, wine and cocktail bars, as well as styling sessions by long-time fashion editor Cat Ong to pick up tip and tricks.

Once you have gotten your fill of retail therapy, the Blueprint Emporium will then be transformed into an alternative fashion club space called Dresscode from 10pm to 1am. The after-party is hosted by Zouk and Blueprint with Japan's Fantastic Plastic Machine helming the decks.

The one-day shopping event at Blueprint Emporium happens on 1 May 2010, from 2pm - 10pm, at the Pit Building. (OCBC Mastercard holders get a shopping preview exclusive from 12pm - 2pm).
