ARTSYFACT BEFORE THE WORLD ENDS
if only i am living in a warehouse or the Taj Mahal, i would have scavenged, salvaged, make love to every pre loved furniture in the world. unfortunately, i live in a 4 room apartment in Buangkok and my room is quite small that i have to sleep like Mr Dracula. hanging from above. fortunately, the […]

PAPERCUTS
as a visual communication student, i’m constantly dealing with paper stocks and its not uncommon for me to get papercuts which i hate with a vengeance. like a sneaky ninja, papercuts strikes when you’re not watching. the damage will only be realised when you’re in the shower and it hurts. the beautiful pictures titled Papercuts, […]
my kinda house.
from the founders of one of my favourite sites – treehugger.com this is right up my alley. P.S. for some weird reason the new youtube makes the video on the site kinda wonky
easy peasy trashy fashy
found it among the many files revived from my dead hard drive. easy ingenious styling with trash. so easy even my unborn baby son can do it. so can you. Photography: Mark Pillai Styling: Bryan McMahon
SIR, YES SIR!
i’ve been through 2 years of national service. in these 2 years, there was alot of tears, sweat, vulgarities and blood. but, one of my fondest memory was when me and my friend Alfri (who was a fashion graduate) created an army inspired fashion show for our company as part of recruits’ night. the entire […]
happy halloween!
you know every halloween people on your facebook friends’ list will start posting photos of them in costumes, frolicking away. and its always that same old costume. super heroes, zombie nuns, angry birds, undead grandmother etc. same old same old. no one seems to be putting any effort in their costumes. until this. my friend […]
crouch, touch, pause and engage.
so as you all know, im currently in New Zealand and living like a cool kiwi. and we all know New Zealand is known for their kiwis (the fruit, the bird, the people), sheeps, lord of the rings, cows and rugby. and this video has pleasantly surprised me with the its humour towards littering. enjoy! […]
Comme Des Garcons S/S 2013 RTW
i’m developing a huge crush (pun intended) for Comme Des Garcons this Paris fashion week. i quote style.com‘s Jo-Ann Furniss saying ‘ “Crushing” was the answer.’ it seems like the collection itself was extracted from the recycling plant where all materials fuses and interact with each other. the crowns made with biscuit tins and parts of a […]
Dolce & Gabbana S/S 2013 RTW
burlap is what’s hot for spring according to designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana. just make sure you have lots of baby power on. helps with the itch. but on a serious note, these burlap pieces and the earrings (just look at them!) are sex. couldn’t find a better word to describe it. image credits: style.com

its a bats cave, a bird house, a garden and its 8 floors high.
Christopher Kane S/S 2013 RTW *edited
i see electrical tape (or even the furry side of a velcro), paper dollies and telephone cords. don’t you just love fashion week? *edited i must be blind to have missed out on another great piece from this collection. LIKE OMG PLASTIC BOLTS AND NUTS?! comes in transparent one as well. *image credits: style.com
family jewels
Denise Reytan could be the only jewellery designer i have seen that has placed so much effort and creativity through her design process. the story in every jewllery does not require a very complicated plot nor it requires fluffy vocabulary or words. but all it requires is chemistry and soul which i think Reytan has […]
going a lil’ crazy for fashion
Agatha Ruiz de la Prada S/S 2013. Agatha’s fashion can go a little crazy at times, not forgetting how Bruno (a character portrayed by Sacha Boran Cohen) actually managed to crash into one of her shows wearing a full velcro suit. definitely one of the most memorable fashion moment compared to Naomi Campbell’s fall during […]
ART-er rubbish 2
i’m sure everyone is familiar with the kryptonite. yes the dreaded crystal superman will pee in his underwear for. or if you’re more ferosh, you should know about the Chanel fashion show for Paris fashion week where gigantic purple crystals graced the runway. what makes these 2 crystals coming from very different background so captivating? […]
ART-ter rubbish.
Austrian artist Christian Grillitsch is doing “Velodrawings,” which is a hybrid of controlled chance. His tool is not a brush, pen, pencil or anything conventional but rather his handy BMX bike. Oh yes we have seen many delinquents (i mean active teenagers) partaking in extremely skilled stunts at parks but i personally do not see the connection […]

from foam balls to laundry bags
when is the last time you happen to look at something so common and had a eureka moment? Aisling Farrell did when she witnessed a magical moment with fabrics like organza n chiffon n PVC were rubbed with styrofoam beads. The static electricity causes the balls to hover in between them like a snow globe. […]
having fun in kiwi land
sorry for the lack of updates for the past week because i was preparing for my student exchange trip in NEW ZEALAND! will keep you guys updated once i settle down in this merciless cold weather. i wonder how the kiwis actually adapt to such crazy weather. meanwhile keep you eyes peeled for more posts!

exciting and biodegradable. check it.

i love corks. i mean Ostwald Helgason.
what are the odds when you see cork being used in fashion? fashion has always been a risk taker but eco-fashion opens up your vision for alternative materials. Ostwald Helgason is a creative duo made up of Susanne Ostwald and Ingvar Helgason from UK who are very proficient in textile creation n manipulation. but what caught my […]
trash bins. what?
one of the treasures revived from my dead hard drive. coco rocha with twix wrappers. on her head. with everything ostentatiously placed on her, it was the wrapper head dress that took my breath away. tell me again why we need trash bins?
GaryCard’s appetite
GaryCard has done it again. previously featured on our site here, GaryCard challenged himself to create dynamic styling and art direction for the editorial titled ‘Salad Days’ for T Magazine with Richard Burbridge and Robbie Spencer. Using only salad ingredients such as seafood, meat, noodles and vegetables. He sure knows how to whet my appetite. […]
