How would you describe your style?
I think a lot of Singaporeans feel that because we’re in a very small place, we need to fit in. But I’ve realised that what I wear is a way of communicating who I am, so I like dressing up in strong colours, bold prints and textures. The biggest style rule for me is to dress in what I feel comfortable in. I know there are certain things I don’t do well with, like the whole oversize streetwear look, so I just stay away from that.
How has your style evolved over the years?
I’ve actually become more daring! You’d think that one becomes more conservative as one gets older, but I’m more daring in the sense that I’ve been there, done that—I know what works and what doesn’t. If I want to wear a certain colour, I will jolly well wear it because
I feel like it and it makes me feel great.
What is a go-to item of clothing for you?
Definitely a statement jacket. Even if you’re in a shitty t-shirt and jeans, you put on a jacket and it just changes the whole look. It could be a great denim jacket—I love the London-based brand Mother of Pearl because I think the combination of pearls and denim is really interesting. I also love oversize jackets in bold colours and prints.
