Orsqr, a collaboration with Aiwei Foo

Presents:      CEREAL* SIBLINGS

Going through art making brings about 
certain kind of madness and intense desire for freedom of self-expression 
unlike when most fashion were made to command a certain type of langauge 
which needs to emcompass the acceptance of the public. 
This series is a collision between fashion and art, 
we started off with the idea of Fauvism.  
Fauvism is an art movement started in 1905 led by artist Henri Matisse. 
With the influence of the color palette, eye popping color choices, 
we juxtaposed the gears with raw background, 
topping with multiple edits to bring about frenzy emotions 
like wild beast and madmen of the Fauves. 
The explosion of colors on Aiwei Foo’s extraordinary fully hand beaded OTT Capelet 
was indeed the ideal wear for CEREAL (surreal) SIBLINGS.  
Like cereal (OTT capelet), there comes a mix of choices of colors in ingredients 
before the dilution of milk to give the blend a unique taste
the same ideology as we approach in this shoot next,
 when we bring about the Dual Shirt worn by Orsqr. 
Muted in colors, almost plain (like milk), somewhat giving fauvist movement earlier a twist 
into a religious approach as we progress when we went shooting from the dungeon (canal) 
all the way to picturesque Roman carved Fountain of life. 
Cereal Siblings is a pair of siblings that ironically have never met, 
yet share the dilution of their personal beliefs and the otherwordly experiences 
through ways of expression with art and fashion.

The OTT Capelet on Aiwei Foo is outrageous and elaborative to the extent that it is ʻmaximalistʼ. 
The design of the sequin-work was semi planned as the colour coordination 
and the general design aesthetic were contemplated 
but the details during beading were more spontaneous and intuitive.

The Dual Shirt on Orsqr was designed and made by Aiwei Foo 
for her master thesis research titled ‘The New Old: A Post Fashion Consumption Practice’. 
It was an approach of turning the used clothing into ‘art’ 
and use it as a form of self-criticism while exploring and realizing this possibility.


I DO BELIEVE IN AN EVERYDAY SORT OF MAGIC — 
THE INEXPLICABLE CONNECTEDNESS WE SOMETIMES EXPERIENCE WITH PLACES, 
PEOPLE, WORKS OF ART AND THE LIKE; 
THE EERIE APPROPRIATENESS OF MOMENTS OF SYNCRONICITY; 
THE WHISPERED VOICE, THE HIDDEN PRESENCE, WHEN WE THINK WE’RE ALONE.
