In the spirit of new British talent, I would like you to meet, Vivien Chong! Vivien recently
graduated from the Ba (Hons) Fashion Print course at the world renowned Central
Saint Martins. Her hand-pleated graduate collection was inspired by the amazing
architecture of Steven Holl, where light and shadow seem to dance through the
buildings he designed.
What do you do
and why do you love your job?
I just recently graduated from Central Saint
Martins last summer with a degree in fashion print. After graduation, I kind of
took a breather for a few months and I am now currently working towards setting
up an online store. Why do I love designing? I guess its because my imagination
could run as free as possible and everything is a possibility. I love being
creative and making the final product from my sketches a reality.
Where do you get
your inspirations from?
Anywhere and everywhere! Usually my starting
point comes from images I gathered during one of my travels or a piece of art
work that I came across and love.
What's next for
your brand?
I am in the progress of making an affordable and
wearable version of my collection as well as making accessories to go with the
look as well. So stay tuned!
Where can we buy your label?
It's still work in progress at the moment but
you can visit my blog vivienpeixuan.tumblr.com.
The link for my soon-to-be-launched online shop would be posted on there.
How would you
describe your personal style?
I don't really have a specific style, I usually
just wear what I think looks good on me. I do love clothes with an interesting
texture though or an interesting print.
Where do you like to
shop?
Everywhere, but I do shop on the high street as
it's affordable otherwise I like going to vintage shops such as Rokit as you
will never know what you could find with every visit! Also, ebay.
Favourite
designer at the moment?
Humberto Leon and
Carol lim at Kenzo, Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig at Marchesa.
Five items you can't live without?
My phone, macbook,
reading glasses, this white gold ring my parents gave me, as vain as it sounds
... my hair straightener.
