Developed under the College's Industry & Community Engagement (ICE) Programme — a collaboration between Raffles Design Institute and SunSmart's parent company, Atticlo Singapore — the project brings students into live design briefs alongside SunSmart and sister brand OhSunny Singapore.

A Collection Rooted in Research

The SunSmart 2026 Collection balances youthful energy and femininity with the realities of the sunny, urban outdoor lifestyle. Every piece emphasizes ease of movement, everyday versatility, and reliable sun protection.

The six-look collection includes the AirShield Utility Zip Jacket with BreezeFit Tapered Comfort Pants; the AirSoft Utility Pocket Tee, BreezeFit Adjustable Pants, and UVGuard Bucket Hat; the AirSoft Adjustable Knit Tee with FlexWaist A-Line Midi Skirt; the AirSoft Structured A-Line Dress; and the AirShield Light Zip Hoodie with BreezeFit Cropped Comfort Pants — all built on SunSmart's UPF 50+ fabric technology, blocking over 99% of harmful UV rays.

Praise from Industry and Academia

Faculty at Raffles Design Institute highlighted the collection as an example of the confident, market-ready thinking the ICE Programme was designed to nurture. Ada Guo, General Manager of SunSmart Singapore Pte. Ltd., commented:

"Celine's collection captures exactly the spirit we hoped students would bring to this partnership — youthful, considered, and genuinely wearable. It's a strong example of how fresh creative perspectives can push SunSmart's sun-safe philosophy forward."
