Behind the scenes

These few days have been packed with preparing my portfolio and working on a campaign at Saught. There have been plenty of shoots on alternate days and tons of planning to do so I thought I'd share some behind-the-scenes photos with you guys.
One of my school module required an evening wear and I would have shot myself if I designed floor length satin cliches. I went with my favorite sports wear inspired theme and created a cocktail dress. I was rather pleased with the results so I teamed up with the talented GwenJanelle and beautiful Eunice Annabel for the shoot. Of course, the bestie came in to help with the make up and honestly speaking, I'm pretty pleased with what we came up with.
Working on all these photoshoots made me realise that I do really enjoy the whole process of translating the abstract emotions in my head through directions and discussions with the model and photographer. Clipping clothes and flipping hair didn't feel like a chore and I was honestly quite happy doing it. I'm not sure what that means for now but I'm definitely excited to work on more shoots. AND SO.
please email me if you would like to collaborate on a shoot or sth. I love ideas.

Into the wind

My favorite part of every production module is making the mood board. It takes ages and it frustrates me to search for images that translates the fleeting thoughts in my head. And yet the thrill you get when you finally do is so gratifying that the previously mentioned pain-in-the-ass process seems okay.
The current production module is about kites; those brilliant colours floating about in the skies, translucent with the bright sunshine gleaming through makes up a tiny bit of this project. I was interested in fighting kites; in the less whimsical, more realistic aspect of kite flying. The utter boredom of holding a kite string since my favorite part was just getting it up there, the cruelty of glass adorned strings cutting wings off birds that do actually fly free and I was interested in tangled strings.
And so whilst the moodboard shows a strong sense of freedom; of flight and wind, there is my mental state staring back at you, questioning kite flying and how free it actually is.Labels: School
Unruly hair

Last weekend, I finally took the leap and got a perm. I love the effect. It's unruly and a little crazy adding character to the plain outfits I find myself in. I've got plenty of comparisons with korean pop stars and remarks of it looking 'cui' but I'm really loving the hair. In fact, I secretly think curly hair girls have a bit more fun!

Trolley Fun

To be honest, a trolley has been one of the top few things I've wanted in a photoshoot for a while. So when we chanced upon a parked trolley in a small alley that we were passing through, we literally jumped at the opportunity! What a day it was, meeting the girls of Eriin.com and the conversations I had at their Pop & Loft event today. Really got me thanking my stars at how I always meet all these wonderful and supportive people whenever the going gets tough (or just plain exhausting).
Love,

A few of my favorite things

I think these photos gives good summary of what my one and a half month of 2013 has been about.
Fashion. Community. Music. Photography. Craft
So I didn't really spend 30 minutes each day on something I like but I did however spread it across the day/week. Designing a new garment, debating on social experiments, meeting new people, dancing to Kimbra, picking up the camera again and drawing has been a few of the many things that I've done in 2013. It has been exhausting but nonetheless exciting. I've haven't got any big projects planned for the year but I'm embracing them all anyway.
Love, pixie

the after party

This collection of pictures marks a start of my little project called 'the30minutesbreather'. It gives me 30 minutes (or more.) each day to create/design/shoot and gives me no reason to say that I have no inspiration. Hopefully this means that I have more to share with you guys on this space!
Day 1 is a small collection of pictures shot at a little forest near my place with a backpack full of miscellaneous items. I must have had brought a least 15 random objects but I've only managed to shoot these because of the rain. There isn't much of a story to tell but I would think that this is what you'll find if you walked into an after party of confetti eating meth heads.
I'm looking forward to Day 2. I think I might bake.Labels: Designs, Photo Diary, the30minutesbreather
Integrity X Saught

Less than 2 months ago, I went to Cambodia for a collaboration between Temasek Polytechnic School of Design and Saught. There, I worked with artisans to create a collection for Saught, a social enterprise that uses deactivated landmines as raw materials for jewelry. 2 months later, the collection has finally launched and I can't be more happy to present to you 3/4 of the collection 'Integrity'. The party was held at The Public Domain on 14th and almost everyone who I loved and believed in me was there. It was definitely one of the happiest moments in my life. Thank you to everyone who came to see 'Integrity'! The collection will be available soon on Saught.Labels: Designs, Fashion Scene, Photo Diary, School, Travels.

Remember how I said I will bug you guys about shooting for NYLONSG? The pictures are up but this month Adele from NYLONSG decided to change things up this month by uploading the looks on Facebook as an collaboration with Topshop! Seeing that this season's collection is so lust worthy, NYLON is giving away a $200 Topshop gift card to the model of the most 'liked' look. So head over to the Facebook page to tag your friend if you see them there or just like your favorite look!
