Transformative designs from local fashion are no longer fantastical stories of futurism.
While one may interpret heroes in the form of an object or subject that is larger than what life may present —as with the theme of our August 2021 issue— photographer Kendrick Choo and stylist Yuan Kun investigate exceptionality in the everyday with compelling twists in fashion.
Featuring the work of young local designers, the transformative aspects of these garments are heroes in their own rights. A Ther Yang thermochronic jacket projects any print imaginable with a heated surface. The work of Justin Chua transforms into a series of different garment types — from a shirt to a skirt and then a bag. And if that’s not enough, a tent transforms into a dress engineered exceptionally by Stemple Haeun are objects of desire beyond comprehension.
