Girls' Generation, Daniel Henney, Bryan Boy - these celebrities were just some of the stars that turned up and drew throngs of Singapore fans to the opening of a new Charles & Keith store; all there just for a chance to get a glimpse of their idols in the flesh.

The Singapore shoe and accessory brand Charles & Keith celebrated its Ngee Ann City store opening with a star-studded guest list and a runway show on August 23, 2013, proving just how wide its global reach has grown, since its humble beginnings in 1996.

Singapore stars Zoe Tay, Fann Wong and Singapore model Sheila Sim also graced the Charles & Keith store opening.

Fans started to crowd around the Charles & Keith Ngee Ann City store at 2pm, waiting patiently until they could start shrieking as the celebrities made their appearances at the store.

The newest boutique, which has a retail space of 170 sq metres, is the brand's 389th boutique across the world, including South Korea, Japan, China and the Philippines.

The Singapore brand Charles & Keith is now partly owned by French luxury giant Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy (LVMH); L Capital Asia, a subsidiary of LVMH bought 20 per cent of Charles & Keith in 2011.
