High school could be the best time of your lives where you discover your disposition, make long-lasting friends and form great memories. Or it could be a time of confusion, figuring out where you belong and navigating bullies if you don’t fit into any social groups. Following our vibrant Seasons of Queer: Spring Fling chapter, […]

Inspired by the unpredictably multiple personality disorder of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, DUALITY, an editorial for Huf Magazine, questions what tailoring means to tradition and redefines it for a new generation. Once again, I teamed up with Genesis Mansilongan – a frequent collaborator who have styled the Seasons of Queer series – and turned […]

Spring is that time of the year when you put away the jewel-tones in exchange for pastels and citrus hues. We thought what better way to welcome longer days, clearer weather (in the Southern Hemisphere anyway) and our third shoot, Spring Fling, by featuring an array of fresh colours like chartreuse, orange and lime. For […]

Winter is that time of the year where our predilection for a hot cup of soup or tea and thick layers of wool or cashmere is prevalent. We find ourselves preferring to curl up on the couch or in bed, watching the latest episodes of our newly favourite shows on Netflix or getting nostalgic on […]

Seasons of Queer: Autumn Dreaming started as a project trying to capture the concept of longing. What did queer Asians long for? How did we define ourselves? Longing in so many senses of the word, compounded by the various definitions we give to ourselves. As the stylist of this story, I was well aware that […]

Sly Blue is about a story that tells of a song that is over but the melody lingers on. This sense of poetic energy is narrated through the colour sky blue with hints of black and white. The rest of the styling notes read plastic, cellophane, crepe paper, dried up tears, minimal grooming with lots […]

Tae-min is the tough romantic who never texts you back but fires up your heart every time he speaks or looks you in the eye. He’s the guy with tattoos and exquisite sartorial taste. He’s the James Dean, the Michael Hutchence, the one that mama and your friends told you not to mess with but […]

Let’s Not Fall In Love is the sad boy editorial inspired by Leonardo Dicaprio in Romeo + Juliet where our male lead is pretty when he cries. He exudes the melancholy vibe that emanates from the loose silhouettes and jewellery but is soften with florals. It’s the vivid romance that you can’t refrain from but […]

Prior to the arrival of Dior Homme’s AW18 collection – Kris Van Assche’s swansong – the French house has released a capsule range titled Gold Bee, featuring classic pieces like suits, knits, shirts, bags, leather goods and shoes. The bee was first introduced back when Hedi Slimane was at the helm, paying homage to Monsieur […]

The detachable arm sleeve warmer was ubiquitous at the AW17 shows. Raf Simons sent models down the runway with knitted arm warmers, worn over outerwear, at his eponymous presentation. He did so too at his debut for Calvin Klein, where fitted versions sit fashionably on the arms of female models. Delada, a Russian label founded […]

The relationship between fashion and art was historically non-existent – where the art world viewed fashion as whimsical – but look at where we are now. Designers like Kim Jones has incorporated works from artists like the Chapman brothers and Christopher Nemeth for Louis Vuitton while Gucci continues to present us with an onslaught of […]

The Dior Homme Autumn Winter 2017 collection sees Kris Van Assche pushing the art and fashion collaborations and sub-culture references. There were models who walked down the runway in the usual variation of black suits but many others who adorned streetwear, punctuated with New Wave, skate and hardcore influences, a mosh pit print by artist […]

Men’s bags have gained more and more attention over the last few years, thanks to the rise in social media and menswear publishers. Gone are the days where guys are scoffed at for carrying anything that makes them, well, less of a man. No longer available in just your average black or brown leather, designers […]

“I’m a fountain of blood in the shape of a girl,” I thought of these lyrics from Björk’s hit, Bachelorette, when I was writing this. A friend suggested the pattern on this Louis Vuitton SS17 mohair pullover reminded her of a vagina when she first saw it. While I’d vehemently contest that description, it’s after […]

Street style is a game – I know this because both Glenn and I’ve played it before at New York Fashion Week and Seoul Fashion Week.
