Ah, where do I start?
Growing up in a strict traditional Asian household felt like being snuggled in a tight embrace of cultural roots. Modesty was the holy grail of fashion, and my mom was the reigning stylist queen—whether I vibed with her choices or not. Think awkward outfits sans my personality. Can anyone relate? #MomKnowsBestButNotAlways
But life took a chic turn when I hit Melbourne for Uni. Suddenly, I was immersed in a world of self-discovery and killer streetwear.
From punk rock rebellion to vintage elegance, people wore their personalities like badges of honour. It was the beginning of my style evolution amidst a vibrant fashion narrative.
And let's not forget my love affair with art. Discovering trendy and motivational art prints was a total game-changer. Scrolling through Insta and seeing those aesthetic wall gallery in trendy homes? Talk about #HomeDecorGoals! It was like unlocking a visual realm of freedom and beauty I never knew I craved.
At my parents’ house back home? It's a different story. The walls are adorned with family photos, degrees, and some Chinese calligraphy paintings that are like, “Hello, traditional vibes!” And let’s talk about my room makeover each visit - we’re talking walls painted in hues far from my ideal palette, and decor pieces that aren’t exactly my vibe. Don't get me wrong, I respect Mom's domain, but every girl needs her space to truly reflect herself, right? Can I get an amen? 🙌
"Style is a deeply personal expression of who you are, and everytime you dress, you are asserting a part of yourself."
Nina Garcia
To me the the clothes we wear and the things we choose to surround ourselves with are like the unsung heroes of self-expression; They're your silent storyteller. No words needed, just pure emotion. And TBH, I craved a space where my voice could shine without anyone else's vibes crashing the party. 💫
So when the opportunity arose to blend my two loves—fashion and art—into a business, I was all in. I had a vision for a brand that goes beyond just aesthetics; it's about delving deep into your creative essence and embracing what truly resonates with you.
