I was invited to be a part of a great “creative collaboration” type project. The Gardens Mall and Wei-Ling Contemporary and Shiseido collaborated and will be hosting an exhibition (the first of its kind in Malaysia) called The Garden of Hidden Desires. The idea was to invite 8 established Malaysian fashion designers to collaborate with 8 Malaysian artists. My role was to model one of the creations. My combination was with Dato Tom Abang Saufi and Justin Lim, both people I know and respect greatly as artists. 

The exhibition will be made open to the public from 6th June 2011 to 30 June 2011. Do check it out if you have time! In the meantime, here are some candid shots from the shoot. 

Above: Laughing with Joseph Teoh, The Gardens Mall Marketing Manager. He’s pretty hands on person too and art directed the entire shoot. Enjoyed working with him. :)

Above: There were two shots. This (behind the scene) one was for Prestige magazine.

The dresses created will be auctioned off and all proceeds from both (make-up & dress) sales will go to Red Cros Japan in aid of victims of the recent earth quake and tsunami. :)

Once again, I have to thank The Gardens Mall for inviting me to be a part of this great creative collaboration. I look forward to working with them again! ;)

Collaborate to grow….always! 

Happy vibes to all.
