Raffles City reveals more
The newly-renovated Raffles City Shopping Centre promises to be a sartorial haven for fashionistas.

The Level One atrium where shoppers used to enjoy those annual festivities such as Christmas shows and Chinese new year bazaars now sports a spanking new three-storey island podium block that houses flagship stores by Spanish brands Cortefiel, Pedro del Hierro and Springfield.

And there is a mix of high fashion and high street fashion from Aigner, Agnes b., Bally, Kate Spade, Stge, Anteprima Plastique and Coach to concept stores by Topshop/Topman, Dorothy Perkins, River Island and French Connection.

The little ones get a space of their own at Level Three with French brand Okaidi Obaidi, while shows and activities will take centrestage at the atrium there.

Although the dancing fountain has always been a favourite with the dining crowd at Basement One, it has made way for The Raffles Marketplace, which is now 30 percent larger than before. Dining options such as Shokudo Japanese Food Bazaar, Lulu, OChaCha and Epi'dor are among the offerings here.

Second home for Bally
