TW: I’m 31 this year, a simple guy who wants to live simply. I wanted to design clothing with pockets, but not pockets that would be too obvious, so I had them concealed. I also tried combining fabric of similar colours for the cut and sew pieces, and I was quite satisfied with the outcome. I tailored the pieces to follow the loose cutting from the previous collections, cause it’s better to wear more loosing fitting pieces in tropical weather.
I wasn’t really sure where to shoot the lookbook. It just so happened that we were in Penang for a pop up, so we just decided to shoot it in Penang. My father is from Penang, and I used to visit Penang during every school holiday. Ever since Penang became a world heritage site in 2008, I stopped coming so often because of the massive traffic jams. This year George Town is much less crowded because of Covid, and for this reason I was able to shoot photographs with ease. In an empty George Town I wandered about with ease, and ate whatever I wanted to, that was what it felt like when I was a child.
Special thanks for our model, TE. Love you<3

This lookbook titled - "A Man With Only One Pants" follows a Man without a name,
living the simplest of life, trying to get on with his routines.
Here, his leaking sink forces him to step out in the middle of a pandemic to find supplies for the quick fix.
With the only pair of pants he possesses, he managed to carry out this mini-mission, swiftly.
Man with only one pair of pants —
if his pockets were full, could dream perchance.
He hit the 4D jackpot at 18 years of age,
though now a beautiful loser, TVB is his cage.
If nothing outside the television is real,
how can Man fix his leaking sink ordeal?
To the hardware store now, Man must go, but first one cigarette, nobody will know.

"Hands holding this new product.
Identical to the last
And too the ones before it
Artisanal nature: all are without
Save imperfections divined
Divine imperfections
All because of my machine error‽ "
