VOGUE SINGAPORE

_NOV ISSUE

I was the assistant stylist for the November Issue of Vogue Singapore, featuring ​H&M and Paco Rabanne. Together with the stylist, Nicholas See (@nicholas_see), ​we came up with the storyboard and the styling board together to best pay ​homage to Paco Rabanne and H&M.

During the shoot, I was tasked me with dressing the model according to the ​styling board, making last minute changes and arrangements where I saw fit.

Hard Boil, Soft Centre is a film made as part of @scapesg MOV:MENT Lab, ​exhibited for @sgartweek from 13 to 28 Jan 2024 at *SCAPE.

It is a surrealist short film that reimagines four female archetypes, threaded ​together with the symbol of the egg. During the shoot, I had to be on top of all the ​different costumes, and carry out many costume changes.

This was my year 1 project in Lasalle: A Fashion Photo Story

We were tasked to choose a magazine and shoot an editorial for said magazine, ​using a cultural phenomenon as a direction. We chose a Japanese cultural ​phenomenon, Hikikomori syndrome. It is a form of social withdrawal whereby one ​does not perform social responsibilities. Rather, they choose to recluse in their ​parents’ home for long periods of time. The following narrative depicts someone ​dealing with Hikikomori syndrome. He finds initial joy and comfort in solitude. ​However, subccuming to by his mental disorder, he is unable to leave his room. ​Thus, though he finds solace in being alone, he still longs for social connection.

RECLUSION

ART OF RECLUSION + FINAL ​IMAGES: I wanted to showcase a ​person’s state of mind in this ​spread, dealing with this syndrome. ​The spread started of with lots of ​colours and chaos in terms of set ​design, but as the spread ends, it ​becomes quieter and less ​happening, to showcase his ​loneliness.

SOLACE

IN GENESIS

This was my year 1 project in Lasalle: Solace in Genesis

We were tasked to pick a local brand and curate a fashion campaign for them. We ​picked Youths in Balaclava as our brand, and analysed the brand’s values and ​visual identity. Our campaign for them titled “Solace in Genesis” explores unique ​self-expression while embracing our roots. The visuals follow four different ​personas in distinct Youths in Balaclava styled clothing as they explore and ​interact with the world around them.

Role: Creative Director/ Stylist

Deliverables: Magazine Spread, Fashion Film

EXORDIUM + FINAL IMAGES:

I wanted each persona to represent a brand ​value of Youths in Balaclava, specifically ​“Leader, Rebel, Realist and Wanderer”. The idea ​of nature comes from the idea of “going back to ​their roots”, paying homage to your origins.

This was my year 2 project in Lasalle: sa iyo

In this project, we had to create an eyewear brand and design physical eyewear ​for said brand, relating cultural aspects in its design element. “sa iyo” was ​created as a Philippine-based contemporary unisex eyewear brand that uses ​transparency as a way to embrace our natural facial feature. The eyewear took ​inspiration from Pagtatawas, a Filipino pre-colonial practice of pouring hot wax ​into water and reading the unique shapes formed. We conducted a social ​experiment to further support our eyewear brand and message.

The final images were chosen and will be displayed at the Cross Pollination: ​¡Moda Hoy! exhibition held at the Museum at Fashion Institute of Technology in ​New YorkvCity.

Role: Creative Director/ Designer

Deliverables: Zine, Fashion Film, Physical Eyewear

Designed in Blender and 3D printed by me. This eyewear, ​Tulo, takes on a more fluid form as it represents melting ​wax. It is also designed to be smaller and sleeker than ​normal eyewear to take us less space on the wearer’s face.

As a creative director, I took inspiration from Sharna ​Osborne’s photography style and edits, as well as the fun ​and quirky mood of her images.

! ZINE + FINAL IMAGES:

Inspired by Bottega’s Zine, I ​oversaw the creation of this Zine as ​a way to showcase our eyewear and ​show our dedication to embracing ​facial imperfections. We wanted this ​Zine to be expressive and unique.

SOCIAL EXPERIMENT VIDEO

This social experiment was done to support our brand and ​its message. We gathered strangers on the street and shot ​this in a photo booth, where they spoke about what they ​were insecure about and at the same time, had their picture ​taken as a way to embrace that feature.

This was my second year project where we explored the idea of rapid decay in ​the event of extreme high temperatures from global warming.

“BODIES ABODE: THE TEMP ISSUE delves into the intriguing realm of decay ​amidst soaring temperatures. Through meticulously crafted images, we unravel ​the mesmerising narrative of transformation as Mother Nature personified ​gracefully yields to the relentless heat. Each chapter bears witness to the subtle ​yet captivating dance of deterioration, following the gradual time of day to ​depicting the cyclical nature of life and death. Decay becomes a poetic ​expression, inviting reflection on the ephemeral beauty that emerges amidst the ​sweltering tropics of Southeast Asia”.

This coffee table book was made to look like an accordion book as we ​explore the visual representation of the circle of life, the idea that ​everything will eventually come full circle.
