By day, Edlan Chua is the COO of the Paradise Group, which operates 32 restaurants and employs more than 1,000 people. But back home, he’s simply dad to two adorable boys: Edison, aged seven, and 19-month-old Jonas. His wife, Joyce, is a stay-at-home mum who loves dressing her kids up in the coolest designer threads. So, at first glance, it seems fairly obvious which parent is more sartorially savvy.

To put Mum and Dad’s styling skills to the test, the family headed to The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands to pick out the perfect outfit for Edison and Jonas. Who will come out on top in the Style My Little Fashionista challenge? Watch the video to find out.
