In this episode, we explore @WearWhatOnSet, dedicated to documenting the outfits of production crews in Singapore. While selected for functionality, these "uniforms" also incorporate pops of individuality, which are echoed in the tongue-in-cheek captions for each post. We also talk about two of our favourite workwear brands: Chota House Collective and Labour and Wait.

Episode 60: In this two-part episode, we welcome guest speaker Kae Hana, fashion educator at MDIS Singapore. She shares with us the organic materials she and her students have been experimenting with to make "fabric", including nettle and banana peel. Tune in to view delicious, mesmerising examples of kombucha scoby leather and (almost) edible bioplastics.

In this episode, we introduce Nadya's new portal Fashion & Market (FAM), the sibling site to @artandmarket. We speak about pieces we are excited about unveiling and what to look forward to on the platform. Hop over to @fashionandmarket_ for material and visual stories, dialogues, analysis, news and reviews about fashion from South-East Asia.

For the next episode onwards, In the Vitrine will be part of the @fashionandmarket_ website!

Episode 57: Worn Stories and The Migrant Workers Community Museum

In celebration of Fashion Revolution Week @fash_rev_sg, and inspired by 'Worn Stories' on Netflix, we talk about our intimate relationship with well worn clothes in our wardrobe. We segue into a discussion about the exhibition, 'The Migrant Workers Community Museum' held last month at @the_substation and meander into the informal paths that objects can take that imbues them with meaning from person to person

Episode 56: Traditional "Costumes" in Contemporary Southeast Asian Fashion

Expanding from a talk that Nadya gave for the UNSW ASEAN Society Cultural Immersion programme recently, we think about how contemporary fashion labels such as Kaarem (Vietnam), Sejauh Mata Memandang (Indonesia), Ghostboy Club (Malaysia) and Randolf Clothing (Philippines) reimagine traditional silhouettes such as the ao dai, kebaya and the cheongsam, and fabrics such as batik for the consumer today.

We discuss the visual appeal of Simone Rocha's work and our conflicting desires to own something from the H&M collection while acknowledging the potentially detrimental effects of fast fashion. And we think back to our participation at the Singapore Art Book Fair through @artandmarket and @a_stubborn_bloom.

Episode 54: We're back! We speak about pandemic dressing taking "a dark turn", and how we are "hate-wearing" some items in spite of ourselves. Nadya talks about an accidental burn that is challenging the way she dresses, and Dani introduces the thought-provoking post-divorce closet of Sara Berman.

Episode 53: The annual exhibition showcasing work from Year 2 students in the BA (Hons) Fashion Design and Textiles and BA (Hons) Fashion Media and Industries programmes in the School of Fashion at LASALLE College of the Arts goes digital with 'Phantasm'. Guest Rohaizatul Azhar, who oversaw the project together with fellow lecturer Furqan Saini, guides us through the immersive experience, and highlights particularly moving projects.
