From Uniqlo sweatpants and Birkenstock clogs to oversized basics, Gen Z fashion has become instantly recognisable. While some see this shift towards comfort and practicality as a reflection of changing priorities, others argue that individuality and creativity are slowly being replaced by trends driven by social media. So, is Gen Z really taking the art out of fashion? Or are they simply redefining what fashion means today?

On The Agenda, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Mark Heng, Founder and designer of Maroon Clothing, to explore how Gen Z is shaping Singapore's fashion culture, whether social media is diluting personal style, and what it will take to build a more creative fashion identity in Singapore.

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Dr Jayant Menon, Senior Fellow at the ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute in Singapore, to find out more.
