As the only daughter of Singaporean football player Fandi Ahmad and South African model Wendy Jacobs, Iman Fandi has lived under the shadow of her family for as long as she can remember. But despite her famous last name, she’s been working tirelessly to forge her own path. At just 21, she ventured into the music industry, signing with Universal Music Singapore and releasing her debut single “Timeframe,” which amassed a staggering 100,000 views within the first two weeks. She also made her mark on the fashion world, collaborating with renowned fashion houses and gracing the covers of prestigious magazines. Now at the age of 24, she’s making waves as a model and singer, proving to be a multifaceted talent in her own right.
In celebration of Fandi’s 24th birthday, GRAZIA Singapore takes a closer look at her best fashion moments over the years.
Colour Pop
Unsure how to incorporate color into your wardrobe? Let Fandi show you how it’s done. For the opening of Fendi’s newly renovated boutique at Ngee Ann City, the model wore a multi-coloured geometric sweater paired with a turquoise tulle skirt and a black Fendi baguette bag.
Christmas Spirit
When Fandi took the stage at Celebrate YOUth! : Electric Garden last Christmas, she stole the spotlight with her electrifying stage presence and glamorous style. Embracing the festive spirit, she slipped into a velvet green bubble mini dress from & Other Stories, complemented by shimmery black stockings and ballet flats.
Casual Chic
For a delightful afternoon high tea, the model rocked a baby tee and a matching white skirt adorned with roses. Her bag of choice? The Gucci Diana tote bag featuring a bamboo top handle and a soft baby pink hue that instantly added a feminine charm to her look.
Edgy Street Style
While Fandi does wear a lot of colour, she loves embracing a neutral palette as well. As she strolled along the streets of Hong Kong, she opted for a black turtle neck, a brown trench coat and grey baggy jeans. She added a pop of colour to her ensemble with a pink Prada Moon nappa leather hand bag.
Bold and Neon
Fandi is also known for her daring fashion choices, often seen experimenting with different styles and trends. She elevated her outfit by styling her black asymmetrical shift dress with striking neon green accessories. Who knew that the Givenchy Shark Lock boots could look this chic?
Girls Night Out
For a fun night out with the girls, Fandi chose to wear a sequined halter top paired with a black leather mini skirt and a cosy furry blue cardigan. She styled her hair into playful baby braids, completing her trendy and chic look.
Red Carpet
For a red carpet event, Fandi wore a navy floral evening gown from H&M‘s 2019 Conscious Exclusive collection. Part of the brand’s sustainability efforts, the dress is fashioned in recycled polyester.
Keeping It Classy
Fandi kept it classy with a Valentino tweed blazer and matching skirt accompanied by Rockstud Ballerinas featuring a mini bow detailing and criss-cross studded straps.
Micro Mini Skirt
For Valentino’s Spring/Summer 2024 fashion show, Fandi tapped into one of the biggest fashion trends of the season: the micro mini skirt. Her entire look was plucked from the runway of the Italian fashion house’s Fall/Winter collection that featured a white tuxedo blazer, blue linen button up and a red mini skirt adorned with roses.
Double Denim
Double denim can be a tricky look to master but let Fandi show you how to pull it off with style. The model layered a denim top with cut outs over a white singlet and classic blue jeans. The key to achieving this look? Simply opt for a coordinated set like what Fandi did or pair denim pieces of the similar washes.
