Continuously at the forefront of Fashion, Music and Design, W Hotels Worldwide has sound tracked numerous fashion festivals from Bangkok to New York and worked with many immerging designers to infuse the passion points. "Fashion is a key passion point for W" explains W Singapore General Manager, Stephane Fabregoul. "And the Audi Fashion Festival celebrates exactly that, in a spectacle of glitz and glamour. It's the perfect partnership of two like-minded brands."

Rounding out the night is Kate Elsworth from W Hotels DJ Lab 2013 programme.

She later spent time in Ibiza, developing an ear for house music.  In 2011 her singles where released on Hed Kandi, a collaboration with DJ Exacta, "Empty Spaces and "Bow & Arrow".

As part of W Hotels' efforts in supporting emerging designers and providing them with a platform to showcase their works, W Singapore's AFF after party will set the stage for a Fashion New/Next Showcase, a high octane fashion show featuring outfits and vignettes from Singapores very own Zardoze label including some rare and beautiful creations. Zardoze is an international fashion brand focusing on high-end fabrics and hand-made embellishments. Officially launched in Singapore in August 2012, Zardoze has set out to reward the confident woman. Assembled with a strong creative framework and a culturally diverse team of top designers, Zardoze encourages, supports and represents their freedom of expression. Zardoze looks to disseminate from the ordinary nucleus of fashion and create its own individuality. In bringing together all essential elements, Zardoze's collection is synced to style

Headlining the party and flown in specially for this event by W Hotels Worldwide, the hottest American Hip Hop star of the moment, Azealia Banks will electrify the night at her first ever performance in Singapore lending her New York cool to the party. Azealia Banks has been described by Billboard as having "shaken up the blogosphere like a snowglobe." Her simple black and white video for "212 (featuring Lazy Jay)" has racked up nearly 30 million views since she posted it in the fall of 2011, propelling Azealia to the top of NME's Cool List and into the pages of The New York Times twice - months before her debut EP, 1991, had even been released. She was the face of designer Alexander Wang's T Fall 2012 campaign and the way she fuses street sensibility, iconic fashion and musical sophistication made her the natural fit to front W Singapore's collaboration with Audi Fashion Festival.
