Fashion lovers and tourists have enjoyed an open-air fashion show on Singapore's iconic commercial street Orchard Road on Saturday. It is also the longest runway, with a record of 176 models strutting down the 550-meter long street.

This is the sixth edition of "Fashion Steps Out at Orchard", and is part of the six-week long fashion extravaganza from April 10 to May 24.

The fashion show raised its curtain with the launch of the latest Samsung Galaxy S6 products. After that, over 170 models donning the latest designs from 13 brands walked the longest runway, attracting thousands of visitors.
