So I first noticed it when I was scrolling through my reddit homefeed and I came across an /r/askSingapore posts asking about their thoughts on the Zoe Gabriel situation
However, the post was deleted but luckily an archive was available
Anyways, the important part of the post was this
But recently, a lot of videos are popping up saying that she isn't as "poor" as she claims she is. Dior products, Louis Vuitton handbags, grand piano, aircond in her room, a family trip to Dubai; it's something that strays away from the "poor" narrative that she painted. Some online heroes stood up for her by saying," poor means cannot go overseas meh maybe save up eh" "You so kepo for what let her be". But some had that "oh, interesting" moment. Depends on how you perceive it.
So anyways, I tried to do some digging but nothing came up: reddit threads, news articles, YouTube videos, all nothing.
But, I managed to find a thread on edmw talking about her
Going to the last page, an article from Malaysia in mandarin was posted 'exposing' her:

I would say at least for Uniqlo it's more mid range but it's definitely not on the level of Chanelle/Gucci, that scale might be different depending on country though

Uniqlo's (and H&M) where we go to grab cheap plain tees and shit, might be less expensive here since it's asia lol

H&M is budget but uniqlo is considered on the slightly expensive side in quite a few some asian countries like not at the levels of proper premium prices but priced at where most middle class dudes cant just buy without thinking.
