SHENTONISTA

"Being a lawyer is definitely an option, but after interning in a law firm, I realised that this is something I don't really want to do for the rest of my life. I believe that my interest lies elsewhere and I want to do something related to writing or journalism.”

One of the rare luxuries of any working life is to be able to find the time to sit down and read for pleasure and without distraction or interruption.

“If I had more time, I’ll probably take a design class. I feel that I can be creative, but I don't know how to draw, so I want to learn the skill to execute it.”

“My fashion tip: just be yourself. Easy. Don’t try too hard.”

“I like to read a lot but I don't come across as a bookworm.”

“I usually like to zone out when I travel, listen to music, and I will just take the bus; it’s quite simple actually.”

“Moving to Amsterdam is the best decision I’ve ever made.”

“I think like most people, I didn’t really know what to do, so it was based on elimination.”

The jumpsuit works like a one-for-all: just slip it on, pick shoes to match, and you’re ready to go.

“I paint in my free time. I like Picasso and Frida Kahlo, and some of the more recent Korean artists are pretty good as well. Not paintings, but more art installations.”

“I was born in Russia, grew up in Germany, and have lived in Singapore for seven years now. My favourite food to eat is satay.”

"I just like anything that’s classy and simple. For shoes, comfort is more important; but for bags, it’s quality over quantity—I like bags with a simple, structured shape.”
