Italian fashion accessory house Furla celebrated the opening of its world travelling pop-up showcase, Candybrissima at Paragon mall atrium in Singapore on Thursday, May 23, 2013.

The opening party was graced by the Ambassador of Italy to Singapore, H.E. Paolo Crudele and his wife, Mdm Sara Crudele Fernandez, together with Mr Alessandro Bartoli, CEO of Furla Asia Pacific.

After travelling to various cities including Milan, Paris, Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Beijing, the much anticipated fashion-meets-art opening night peaked with more than 200 guests including notable faces from the local fashion and arts scene.

They include New York based Singaporean actress Elizabeth Lazan, local film-maker Royston Tan, and award-winning Singaporean illustrator artist Tan Zi Xi.

The highlight of the evening was friends of Furla making their very own art version of the candy bags at the creative laboratory.

MTV VJ Hanli Hoefer, model and journalist Stephanie Chai, project director for Blueprint 2013 Tracy Phillips, and local designer and artist Grace Tan celebrated the opening and kicked started with a showcase performance/creation.

The guest performers created unique art designs of the Candy bag from deconstructed parts of a typical Furla candy bag using a variety of materials like yarn, chain, studs, cord, and ribbons.

At the Candybrissma creative laboratory, guests were greeted by the quirky pink-lights of Candy Bag resembling that of a 60's music jukebox.

The showcase also featured a unique white light-box cube art installation display starring the colourful bags from the newly launched special editions of the Candy bag - Candy Sunset and Candy Cookie.

The well-heeled crowd partied to the slinky tracks spun by the popular DJ Two-Face as well as indulged in the delectable spread of canapés and drinks, including a bespoke vodka cocktail drink concocted specially for the celebration, named the Candy Cookie.
