Dani talks about visiting The Original, an exhibition at 21_21 DESIGN SIGHT in Tokyo. Together with Nadya, they talk about the subtle nuances among terms that describe being “influenced” by the original, based on thought-provoking wall text at the show, from referencing to paying homage, and from reproducing to copying.

Dani and Nadya chat about two fashion shows they recently attended in Singapore. The first is Tirados 01 - ANINO by Josh Tirados (@__tirados) supported by @An_Asylum at Figment (@figment.live) Club House. The second is Transition, the first in-person fashion show featuring the work of graduating students from the School of Fashion (@1mcnallyfashion) BA(Hons) Fashion Design & Textiles programme, which took place on the sky bridge at LASALLE College of the Arts (@lasallesingapore). They talk about the unique performative experience that is the fashion show, and what it can mean for participants behind the scenes, on the catwalk, and in the audience.

Dani and Nadya chat about what they have been working on and inspired by. There was Women in Design: A Global Conversation and Showcase at Middlesex University, and the inaugural Women in Design Week in March, which ITV launched in the previous episode. Dani talked about attending a talk by Carla Fernández as part of Printing Fashion Festival organised by M.A. Fashion Studies of Parsons Paris. Dani also recounts experiments on natural dye for workshops she's going to facilitate with students for Fashion Revolution Week. And Nadya reflected on a special conversation between Tory Burch and LASALLE alumna Oon Shu An at LASALLE last week.

Nadya and Dani welcomed 2023 by plunging headlong into the whirlwind that was Singapore Art Week 2023. In this episode, they focus on ‘The Salesgirl who Became Boss’, a video installation and window display by Dani for ‘Pictures in the Mind’ with DECK, and Nadya’s participation in the UBS ‘Silent Insights’ series at ART SG. Wishing everyone a 🐰appy Year of the Rabbit, with good health and an abundance of wealth!

For the final ITV episode of 2022, Dani and Nadya first talk about their weekends. Dani was at the Kuala Lumpur Art Book Fair with Magazine for Young Girls, and Nadya was at the ANCER (Asia Pacific Network for Cultural Education and Research) conference at LASALLE College of the Arts, then the talk with Doug Aitken, co-organised by MACK and STPI. They wrap up their chat by discussing what 2022 has brought for each of them, and the value of In The Vitrine.

Bodybuilding conjures up images of well-defined muscles slick with oil. We talk first about why it’s been on our mind, from Dani seeing models in a Shushu/Tong photo story to Nadya watching Killer Sally on Netflix. Nadya reflects on exercise culture in the 1980s and thinking about how hard bodies can be echoed in the artificial forms of mannequins.

Dani has worked with Josiah Chua on CAPSULE 2009, an exhibition of garments and other materials from Singaporean designers and brands in the 2000s, who launched their labels at or around the time of the fashion incubator Parco Next Next. Nadya reflects on the key takeaways from the accompanying talk between Dani and Josiah, moderated by Weiqi Yap at Fashion on Display, and how the project as a whole advances the conversation on Singapore’s fashion identity. CAPSULE 2009 runs for a final weekend, on 22 and 23 October 2022, from 1pm to 7pm.
