Following a slew of store openings at Marina Bay Sands plus even more to come — remember the Kurt Geiger store news? — here’s one more to add to the list.
The first-ever Tom Ford boutique in Singapore is opening tomorrow on April 29, 2014 at The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands.
The store will carry the American luxury house's full range of womenswear, menswear, shoes and accessories, with prices expected to start from $950 for accessories.
Those hoping to catch an eyeful of the designer himself will sadly be disappointed. A local publicity representative confirmed that Tom Ford is unlikely to attend store opening launches in Singapore anytime soon.
Singapore fashionistas however, can look forward to more shopping options at Marina Bay Sands. A Givenchy boutique next to the Tom Ford boutique is also due to open soon in May; this marks the French luxury house’s second store opening in Singapore.

Tom Ford brings his vision of modern luxury to Singapore with the opening of a new store at Marina Bay Sands in January 2014.
For a long time, the only contact Singaporean shoppers had with sexy cool American designer Tom Ford (seen on the right) was through his beauty line available at Tangs Orchard; but now, the wait is almost over. F J Benjamin announced on July 24, 2013, that a Tom Ford store will open at the Marina Bay Sand in January 2014.
The Singapore boutique will be modeled after the brand’s Madison Avenue flagship, so expect the designer’s signature palette of greys and deep browns with chrome and glass accents – this classy sleek interior will envelop the shopper in exclusivity and refined comfort.
Shoppers won’t be short-changed as the complete range of men’s and women’s ready-to-wear and accessories, eyewear, fragrance, beauty and fine jewellery will be available at the Marina Bay Sands store.
The Private Blend Atelier D’Orient Collection will also be introduced at the Singapore store. The collection is a new quartet of Tom Ford fragrances inspired by the sublime beauty and exquisite luxury of Asia and are the latest innovation from his Private Blend Collection of artisanal scents.
“The Singapore opening is very significant because there is a very sophisticated client who wants the finest accessories and clothing for all aspects of their life, and they want it presented in a modern way that resonates with the new world that is fast emerging in Asia,” said Tom Ford.
Now the big question is will Tom Ford himself grace the opening of the Singapore store?
