Browsing “Pants”

"I don’t believe that good taste equals paying more for huge brands. I’ve seen people with great style, with zero brands on them. Good quality can come out of small brands!”

“In terms of my everyday style, some days I’m into streetwear, and other days I really enjoy Japanese styling. It really depends on how I’m feeling that day.”

"I collect Japanese city pop vinyls. I like how they look and how they spin. It gives me a certain vibe—the kind of calm you get from listening to music on vinyl instead of apps.”

"My new anime fixation this past year has been Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss. I like grittier shows, and these are both adult series, so there's a lot of swearing, love, sex, and drugs in them.”

“You can define growth in numbers, like how much you make, but I see it more intrinsically—it's creating a space where employment is sustainable, healthy, and fulfilling.”

“A brand that I’ve been loving recently is Sandy Liang. It's a very interesting brand—playful, but also nostalgic. I like the little elements and details that they do.”

“It’s really therapeutic watching my pet fish. I catch myself just staring at the tank for a long time. Then I look at the clock and realise I’ve been watching them for 30 minutes.”

“I run my own café, but some others I usually go to are Apartment Coffee and Maxi Coffee Bar. I usually go back to the same places to visit friends and to get my coffee fix.”

“Should I go and get a nice dress to change into for you?” Vicki, who's from the Philippines, joked in between shots, as we had her pose for the camera.

“I picked up sewing in 2023. With that skill, I’m trying to start my own sewing business. I sew 1940s dresses, which is in line with my personal style, but I’m dressed down today.”

“I used to collect sneakers, and though I’ve since sold most of them, I have a pair of Nike Air Forces One’s x Comme Des Garçons and Supreme that I’ll never get rid of.“
