Behind This Season:
/ REFRACTION /
/ Introduction /
There is a moment, just before the light bends, where all that was seen blurs into something new. REFRACTION is the continuation of REMEMBRANCE—both collections born from a quiet tension between reflection and revelation, where what is remembered gives shape to what is next. If the past whispers lessons, the future beckons with a challenge: to see clearly, to look beyond the haze, and to step into the vision, assured in the knowing that the path ahead has already been made ready.
This collection draws inspiration from the subtle shifts in vision— inspired by Leo Lionni’s Fish is Fish, the way a fish, once bound by its own understanding of the world, glimpses the broader horizons above the water's surface. REFRACTION celebrates the beauty of change, the power of perception, and the expansiveness of discovery. When we open our eyes—truly open them—we realize we were always part of a larger story.
In REFRACTION, light bends, but it never breaks. It reveals. And those who can see it, possess it.
Colours shine here, with the clarity only seen after the rain has washed the world anew. Tropical greens mingle with the subdued tones of dusk, recalling the luminescence of Singapore after a downpour, where even the most familiar streets seem otherworldly. There is vibrancy in this collection that reflects life as it is—complex, layered, and resplendent with hidden light. The lotus blooms softly, a symbol of growth from murky waters, reminding us that beauty often rises from the unseen depths.
In Singapore, a city that mirrors this refractive quality with its blend of tradition and modernity, the tropical heat meets the coolness of rain-soaked streets. Here, balance is everything between nature and urban life, between heritage and the future. REFRACTION takes these dualities and transforms them into something wearable, something tangible. It is for the woman who sees with eyes unclouded, who finds peace in the in-between spaces, and who knows that true beauty lies in the interplay of contrasts.
REFRACTION blends architectural lines with organic forms, offering a sense of structure without constraint—clothing that moves with the body, designed for the modern woman who navigates life's complexities with grace and purpose. Retro-feminism is infused within the designs, with bold silhouettes tempered by softness, reflecting a balance between strength and sensitivity.
There is a quiet harmony here, an equilibrium that speaks to the art of seeing. As Haruki Murakami writes, “Colours shone with exceptional clarity in the rain,” and indeed, this collection captures that fleeting clarity—where the world, for just a moment, reveals its true hues. Each piece is a reflection of individuality, a halo of color that surrounds the wearer, as though they are illuminated from within, their own light refracted through the prisms of fabric and form.
