Team Info >> Attire

Official Ceremonial Attire
The official ceremonial attire comprises an important part of a national representative’s dressing, when he or she attends an international competition.

Official attires generally are worn during the opening and closing ceremonies, as well as other important functions during the Games.

Local athletes with disability have traditionally worn two types of official attire before 2006:

1. Red blazer with state crest on left breast, with beige pants
2. Red bomber jacket with state crest on left breast, with beige pants

             

Beginning from 2006, however, SDSC decided to make a bold move to engage designers in creating new and innovative ceremonial attires for local athletes with disability. This was to counter the warm weather conditions that the athletes had to face in the host countries, as well as to adjust to the needs of the athletes. Functional and easy-to-wear attires were some of the key requirements, especially for athletes who rely on wheelchairs to travel around.

Thus, 2006’s FESPIC attire was designed by Mr Hayden Ng, celebrated local designer.

Background of Jo and Hansel
Hansel blends quirky playfulness with understated minimalism. Jo pulls together unexpected elements, creating highly-wearable pieces that suit spunky, confident women who can’t help standing out in a crowd.

Hansel made its debut at the Mercedes Australian Fashion Week in November 2003. Hansel has since garnered many accolades and won many fans. London-based trends watchdog WGSN.com described Jo as a “total original”. The Sydney Morning Herald praised the label for being “ultra modern and
fresh”. During their world tour, The Veronicas were spotted wearing Hansel. Kiwi actress Emily Barclay, star of Australian feature film “Suburban Mayhem”, arrived at 2006 Cannes Film Festival decked out in Hansel.

Jo’s designs have also captured the eye of industry critics who hail her as rising star. Jo clinched the FRESH Designer Label of the Year at the prestigious Singapore Fashion Awards 2004. In 2005, she was one of Singapore’s top 20 designers during the Singapore Design Festival. She was nominated for
Singaporean Designer of the Year at the inaugural ELLE Awards 2006, and has been nominated for The Singapore Women’s Weekly Great Women of Our Time Awards 2006, in the Design & Style category.
