The Black Market Spring @ Demsey, great crowd and really cool DJs spinning inhouse. David Gan’s stall was just opposite ours, selling his stash for charity. Special thanks to our buddies, Steven & Michelle for helping us out.
There is another interesting flea market coming up at Illuma Shopping Mall, happening every weekend of June as well as first 2 weeks of July. A pity we are unable to participate. But do hop on down to Bugis to have a look!

Greetings Peeps! Here’s a quick intro to a website where you can find all kinds of lovely hand-made & customised items: www.esty.com
From accessories to clothing, art handicraft to paper products, this is just one big online marketplace you won’t want to miss out.
Do check out the little shop-front which MoreThanArtToWear has set up on Esty: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=7972105
For aspiring designers & blogshop owners, you may wish to consider setting up a shopfront there too. The cost is pretty minimal and it definitely gives exposure to the products & services you are offering.
For fellow Singaporeans, you may also wish to check out this Singapore initiative for local talents to showcase their offerings @ www.singaporeetsy.blogspot.com.
Though from what we read they are not affiliated with Etsy.com in any way but still its a great effort for them to organise this website to promote local design! So Yeh!

For fans of designer labels, rejoice! Yet another exciting collaboration coming your way. The very-talented music producer, Mark Ronson, who is also top on GQ’s list of best dressed man, will be working hand-in-hand with Gucci to produce limited edition sneakers.
For monogram-haters who are inclined to snub off this project, do hold your judgement first. It seems from the published photos that the interlocking-Gs will be very subtle. And why Mark Ronson, you may wonder? Commercial reasons aside, apparently he is an avid collector of sneakers. A man with great fashion taste who loves his sneakers may just nail it right.

Here’s a sneak preview of the shoes I am working on for Henry. It’s a tribal theme and the leather is great to paint on:

It is interesting that Timberland has introduced a “customise-your-own-moccasins” service in Singapore where you get to decide what colors goes into your pair of shoes.
But expect to pay from S$279 onwards for your very own design. Read here for more details.

Recently just completed a cap design for friend, Chris. He first saw the chinese opera theme caps in NewUrbanMale. He wanted something similar but with a more personalised touch.
To start off, alittle research was done for the sketch of a opera face. Thereafter paint was added to the plain cap:
To add on alittle more creativity, lace was bought and hand-sew onto the cap for the opera face’s crown:
Was pondering whether to add on some fabric for the opera face’s beard but decided to do away with it as the crown was supposed to be the highlight of the cap and viola, it was completed:
If you like what you see, do get in touch with us. Right now for SGD 59, we will provide customisation which comes with the cap =)

It all started when we eye a pair of white Adicolor sneakers in the Adidas boutique. It was like a canvas waiting for the splash of colors. The idea of making wearable art – that was what really got us started on customizing sneakers.
Currently we are working on cap customization for a friend. Will be sharing some pictures of work-in-progress later.
For peeps who like customization, later on we will be sharing links to our fave customization forum. Whenever we come across any interesting news or articles on customization, we will also share it here in this blog.
If you are also into customizing stuff and will like to exchange information about getting good paints or painting technique, do feel free to get in touch =)
