Well, everyone needs a change! Sometimes it is good to be radical and the best place to start off is with your hair,” says Joe T’ng.
Faevien Yee, creative director of A Cut Above @ Bangsar Village II and his creative team produced “Colourful Minority” another collection inspired by one of the fashion spreads in Italia Vogue and photography by Nick Knight. Faevien Yee commented, “The message that I want to bring out is forget about the grunge, minimalism, basic, nude colour and etc which had left us a little too flat for long. Yet right now the creative use of wigs, fake lashes, vibrant colours of eye shadow and outfits and six inches of heels are the fashion for today’s women. Other than that, I am also trying to bring colours to the global recession!”
