LOCAL DESIGNER, AFTON CHEN

Reimagine Fashion With Us

Reckless Ericka was co-founded by fashion designer Afton Chen and Louis Koh in 2009 and has been contributing to Singapore's fashion scene for the past 10 years.

The brand was featured in local and international media, taken their collections onto runways in fashion shows, and steadily grew a following of customers who values her craftsmanship- from inspiration conception, design and drafting processes, down to material selection. Reckless Ericka brings authenticity to every piece time after time. Her brand is loved for its quality and designs that last through wears and beyond fashion trends.

"Our studio is a busy place filled with crazy amounts of multi-tasking. We like to push boundaries and love to meet people who view fashion as an expression. It’s not about what’s new or what’s next, but all about embracing the now."

Reckless Ericka curate styles and silhouettes with your comfort and confidence in mind. And we boldly invite all fashion consumers- to reimagine fashion with us.

WE ARE RECKLESSLY SPIRITED, INCLUSIVE AND EFFECTIVELY DESIGNED.

We are committed to craftsmanship, becoming the alternative voice to fast fashion and bringing you the highest quality apparel. Our collections are designed in-house and made at ethical factories using quality materials, because we believe that our customers deserve the best at an affordable price point without traditional markups.

We want you to wear our pieces for years, even decades, to come. We really want you to have it all!

RECKLESS ERICKA

Inspired by the short story in Paul Arden’s book “Whatever you think, think the opposite”, we were inspired by the title character’s RECKLESS spirit – enthusiastic, popping with daft ideas, adventurous, always having wild and fresh ideas. Ericka's whole life is a series of ups and downs,
doing what she likes and fearlessly refusing to conform.

Naming our brand goes beyond choosing a label. It conjures up images, ideas and our aspirations.

RECKLESS, that’s what we want to be.

IN-HOUSE LABELS

The Reckless Shop currently carries our 3 in-house labels, Reckless Jersey, Reckless Ericka and Still.

Reckless Jersey features functional, urban designs from Singapore made with luxe jersey.
It strives to capture the youthfulness and energy of women, featuring drapes on jerseys that stresses on basic silhouette, yet enhances the femininity of a woman. There is focus on functionality and versatility with a wide range of multi-wearable pieces, where the wearer can transform their look in an instant.

Reckless Ericka is a men, women and kidswear brand that has always been off-kilter, not taking fashion seriously. Everything is infected in some way with colours and patterns. We focus on balancing classic tailoring with edgy use of silhouette and colours, and constructing quirky silhouettes with classic details.

Still is a high quality, faith-based, Spirit contemporary apparel - an alternative to chasing what's new or what's next.
