There is a moment before light bends—where what we know shifts, blurs, and transforms. REFRACTION is the continuation of REMEMBRANCE— existing in the quiet space between reflection and revelation. REFRACTION is the evidence of what lies beyond perception. As we step into the unseen with quiet assurance, we know that what is beyond our sight has always been there.
The heart of REFRACTION lies in the way light transforms—how it touches the surface of water, refracting and breaking into a spectrum of colours. To see what others overlook is to possess something rare, something divine. For within that bending light is the possibility of an oasis, a place of promise.
Inspired by Leo Lionni’s Fish is Fish, this collection explores the shifts in vision—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 realise we have always been part of a larger story.
Blending architectural lines with organic forms, REFRACTION creates structure without constraint—clothing that moves fluidly, designed for the modern woman who navigates life’s complexities with grace and purpose. Retro-feminism weaves through the designs, where bold silhouettes are softened with fluidity, balancing strength with sensitivity.
As Haruki Murakami writes, “Colours shone with exceptional clarity in the rain.” In that fleeting clarity, the world reveals its truest hues. Each piece in REFRACTION is a reflection of individuality, a halo of colour that surrounds the wearer, as though they are illuminated from within—their own light refracted through fabric and form.
Singapore, a city of contrast, mirrors this refractive quality—where tropical heat meets the coolness of rain-soaked streets, and tradition stands alongside modernity. Here, balance is everything, and REFRACTION translates this duality 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 exists in contrast.
In REFRACTION, light bends, but it never breaks. It reveals. And those who can see it, possess it.
