This week in style: quirky tees, pop-up stores and jewelry from emerging designers
From artist’s work on t-shirts to jewelry from emerging designers – we're showing you everything that's hip and happening in style this week.
Get shirty
Cool new e-store Hyphen is collaborating with Singaporean artists to produce a t-shirt line. The idea is for artists to develop their brand and for everyday folks to enjoy art outside galleries. The current artist in residence is Jingle Drew, a Singaporean illustrator who has created a quirky line of tees with famous musicians redesigned as potted plants—we particularly like the one of Jimi Hendrix. All t-shirts are $50 and are available from Hyphen’s Facebook shop.
The bee’s knees
Elsewhere in the local e-store scene is jewelry boutique Annielka which stocks unusual and quirky pieces from emerging and off-the-cuff designers. All items on the site are handmade and designers include Daisy Knights, who creates bold rock chick style necklaces, and Mezi who designs chunky silver statement pieces. Do check out the range of whimsical animal-themed jewellery by Alex Monroe which includes bees, hummingbirds and foxes in silver, gold and rose gold. Pieces range from $30-$300.
Walk the line
Pedder Red has launched a new collection of shoes paying homage to Hong Kong style. The eclectic line is bright and vibrant with lots of shiny metallics and clashing monochromes (perfect if you already own 20 pairs of black shoes). There are also plenty of patterned styles including florals, checks, snakeskin and camouflage prints. Prices start at $160.
Stop press
Pop-up store Fashion Pitstop is back for the month of September. Organized by Asian fashion e-retailer SHOPTHEMAG, the temporary store will showcase the latest collections from prominent Asian designers. Expect to see fur tops from experimental Singaporean brand Koonhor and hand woven dresses and accessories from Malaysian label Duo by Joyce Wong.
