Singapore - The Singapore Fashion Festival is one of the biggest and most important fashion events in Asia. Featuring designers, retailers, models and fashion-obsessed members of the public, the festival introduces the latest styles, trends and fashions from around the world. The event took part along the Orchard Road in front of the Ngee Ann City shopping mall. Lighting designer Javier Tan and programmer Fares Aljunied combined their talents for the show which they controlled with a grandMA full-size.

"I have been using other consoles for quite a while and I was looking for a new challenge," explained Tan, "I am very pleased with the grandMA. Despite being relatively new to the board it is already obvious to me that the grandMA is very powerful and gives plenty of options unheard of in other consoles. It's also very user-friendly."

Having designed the show in the run-up Tan had prior commitments and was only able to take over the show two days after it had already started. In this situation the flexibility of the grandMA played a helpful role. The layout of the groups on the touchscreens had been arranged in a topological way that they represented the actual stage.

Lighting equipment was provided by SCM Productions.
