The Advanced Style of Four Local Gentlemen
As fashion begins to move beyond seeing glamour as youth to embrace inclusivity for all, these four local gentlemen demonstrate enviable advanced styles and being a state of the here and now.

Jebson Tan aka the coolest man around the corner cuts a suave silhouette in a Graye Studio Cotton-blend patchwork vintage shirt, cotton pants and Celine Leather sneakers. For th final flourish, he’s wearing his own cotton scarf. The location? The Corner Shop (杂货店) in Far East Plaza that he owns.

Sanip, a delivery man and a relative of one of our team member’s proves that the leather biker jacket knows no age. And like the handsome handlebar mustache he sports, the Coach wool turtleneck he’s wearing is equally fetching.

By day, our Associate Sales & Marketing Director Yewmeng is brokering deals but on the weekend, he suits up in a full Louis Vuitton look with an Everyday LV Soft Trunk leather crossbody bag in his hands — proving that advanced style for the local men is well, advanced.

Prashant, the General Manager at The Projector suits up in a Gucci wool waistcoast and as a nod to the quirks of his job, puts on a pair of the Italian House’s canvas and leather boots.


The advanced style of a local gentleman: Jebson dons on a Prada Re-Nylon trench coat with a Graye Studio cotton jumpsuit. His kicks of choice? The easiness of Gucci Leather slip-on shoes. Location The Corner Shop (杂货店).

Yewmeng goes West but not too far (you know the reference) in a printed Versace Wool and silk sweater and a stylist’s own suede jacket.


Cutting a lean and mean figure, Prashant slinks in a  Bottega Veneta cotton and wool appliqué turtleneck sweater and leather vinyl pants. A stylist’s own leather jacket punctuates the point. Location Projector X.


Sanip proves that advanced style can be joyful: our local deliverman is all smiles in a Celine wool jacket and Gucci wool cable knit sweater with jeans. His bling is his own: a silver chain necklace and platinum ring.
