Hello, I am Christy Chow and I am an apparel designer. I have a fashion label, Tangle, which was started in late 2006. Currently under the collective Studio Privé, the label will take flight independently in 2008. The label envisions the beauty of mixed movements and embraces the love for texture. Come December, Tangle’s 2nd collection - We Are Obscene: The Obscenity of Rock, hopes to incite and excite in different planes. Envisioning an age of uncensored voices from the backlane, the pieces encourage you to take a moment and waste time in them. Being erratic and influenced by too many wonderous things, the label is also a platform for me to explore different areas of art and design. To me, music is about infusing a state of mind. It need not inspire, so long as I have fun and indulge for that brief moment.

Hi, my name is Justin Lee. I am a fine artist and graphic designer and my work has been recognized through commissions by the Singapore Art Museum, the Esplanade and the New Majestic Hotel. My art reflects a fine sense of contemporary design flavored with an essence of Singapore traditions. The themes in my work underscore familiar Asian cultures with a pop treatment that celebrates Asian values in an endearing tongue in cheek manner.
