The Red Moment


This is CHALK's Nation Pride outfit! We re-made it in a luxurious red sheen jersey in the ever popular Sally dress style. Why this design?

On our Nation's birthday, we specially designed a versatile and multi way dress that represents the unique and diverse culture of our country. With every twist and turn for a new look, it symbolizes how Singapore has transformed and developed into such a stunning cosmopolitan country of today! This is a limited edition outfit designed specially for Nation Pride event.
Come by Millienna Walk soon to take a look at this installation all the designers worked so hard to put together! We cut, folded, sticked, pasted and stamped all the boxes and covered them into a mini Singapore map:) For more details on how to win VIP tickets to the opening party, all you need to do is to share a comment here.

Movie Still

Such a good twist to the typical movie poster!

Classic Tip

I totally agree!

Stamp of Pride


Here's a glimpse of the upcoming Nation Pride installation! All designers have to make our own paper boats filled with details about our inspiration and brand philosophy. Every one of them is handmade so if you're there at the event, remember to pick up one of the boats and give it a good read! Btw, it's also my first time making a paper boat:P
(For more details on how to make your own, check this link out!)

A New Kind of Nap

Mini Us

This morning, Evelyn from Swirl texted me congratulating me on our new collection and she started to send me texts with really adorable icons via Emoji! Next thing I know, I broke into a long laughter when she sent me a pocoyize version of me inspired by our latest collection! wahhaa..
And this will be very cool Evelyn with her bob hair cut and those aviator glasses!
And Suzanne in her china doll jacket from her childhood which she can still fit in! Whahaa..this app is free and is super adorable!

We're featured in La Mode OUTRE blog!

Imagine our surprise when we saw our designs featured on James's blog from the Nafa fashion show (We were invited as guest designers for the diploma show) a couple of months back. I love the lighting in the picture and as I recalled it was a frantic mad rush backstage as we tried to fit 20 models in less than a few minutes. Looking at the pictures again really brought back the fun and crazy memories we had!
