In a joint effort with photographer Zantz Han and 3D artist Phua Juan Yong, the art of fashioning unravels as a poem by famed American poet, painter, essayist, author, and playwright, E.E Cummings, and as popularised by Björk in “Sun In My Mouth”, narrates the poetism of the looks from Fall Winter 2021.

Each persuasive intention from the poem and its suggestions for blooming ideals — such as yearning for growth, the trials of growing up, and the passages of time — informs the November 2021 fashion spread portrayed by Model Of The Year semi-finalist Hamzah Abdul Rashid, and up-and-coming female model Tharra Lee-Ning from local agency Mannequin Studio.
This finale of Fall Winter 2021 closes the chapter on its new take on modern classics; as if, for a moment in fashion – the trails of time has stopped to focus on clothes that truly matters.
