SINGAPORE - Multi-label retailer Naiise, once the biggest platform for local designers, is winding up.
It stopped operations late Wednesday night (April 14), after years of payment delays to its vendors.
In a Facebook post early Thursday morning, Naiise founder Dennis Tay announced the decision to liquidate the firm. It has been an extremely difficult two years, and the last few weeks have been the darkest of my life, he wrote. I cannot apologise enough to the brand partners whose trust I ve misplaced, and to whom monies are still due. I assure you all that the situation remains so because of an inability to pay, and not unwillingness.

Radio personality Teresa Berry says goodbye
Longtime radio host Teresa Berry has left Full Power Radio’s morning show on Soft Rock 106.5 WBMW, based in Ledyard.
In a press release, she declared herself a “free agent” after being a major voice in local radio for more than 20 years. Her last day was Jan. 15.
“She continues to do voice work for stations around the country,” according to the release, which compared her change of venue with that of Tom Brady, who won a Super Bowl last month in Tampa after leaving the New England Patriots.
