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. Zardozë is an international fashion brand focusing on high-end fabrics and hand-made embellishments.

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.
