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 […]

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 […]

“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 […]

While I’m savvy about dressing for trans-seasonal weather, I’ve nonetheless copped a few side-eye for wearing a jacket on a sunny fall day or chastised for not covering up on a cool evening. Are you hot or cold, boy? Guys scratch their heads, unsure of what’s appropriate sartorial selection but the concept of trans-seasonal layering is […]

Once in awhile, you come across a creative whose works are so sublime, you instantly believe that there’s hope for this fame-thirsty generation again. Matt Chu (@mattchuupicchu), whose Instagram account recently surpassed 20k followers, is the modern romantic that I knew I had to meet when I came across a photo of him effortlessly swinging […]

In collaboration with East Dane The perks of having a style and travel blog can be enticing but there’re few unexpected surprises that make those late nights of hard work even more worthwhile (not referring to the sneaky Nutella snacks though). I was flung into Toronto recently to work with The Drake Hotel and while intensely photographing our […]

Every visual creative has their source of inspiration. Be it a painting, a photo or even a song, I’m always eager to find the connection between a designer’s influences and their works. Sure, I get stimulation by such and such photographer or painter from time to time but I’m really more partial to music as an inspiration, […]
