So the day has come for us to showcase our works at Mangosteen Singapore Fashion Show for RÊVE – Dream Away Internationally. It was pretty nerve-wracking as I will be opening the show for the team. I actually spent time looking at runway shows and the first model enters with a bang to attract the crowd’s attention. So I decided… Read more →
Faced a few setbacks with the lighting. Its hard for the LEDs to light up so I had to rewire them again. Furthermore, the pressure sensor’s spoilt on the day itself so I have to edit the threshold for the sensor in my coding on Arduino to zero and make the lights blink together instead. Initial concept: Light’s supposed… Read more →
Make up wise, I’m going for a dramatic look with strong, harsh contouring to highlight the cheekbone and jawline. Disney’s Maleficent truly inspire my make up direction, conjuring up a dark and sombre look for a dystopian feel. The day before: Test run of the make up after rehearsal to see whether it fits the theme. Read more →

Dinie showed me a better way of sewing by simply fastening the skirt and elastic together with the foot and stretching the elastic while putting my foot on the pedal instead of fastening the elastic with lots of pins (which is what I’ve been doing). And since I… Read more →
As the dress will sag once filled with water, Galina suggested making a strap to hold it in place. Hence, I used leftover plastic to create a wavy strap that mimics the movement of flowing water. In fact, the other plastic pieces are created by cutting from leftover plastics or by fusing smaller pieces of plastics together. This is in line… Read more →
Tried fusing black plastic and I like the colour so decided to work with that material instead. The images below detailed the process in making the conical skirting. Read more →
Fusing plastic for the cones in order to create a waterproof lining and then wrapping it with satin. However, after experimenting with fused plastic, including the types of plastic used and amount of heat exerted on the plastic (which affects how much air bubbles will be trapped inside; more air bubbles give a more crocodile-like skin texture at the expense… Read more →
