The book Orientalism inspires the debut collection from Ong Shunmugam.
Use of fabric, silhouette, proportion and colour reflect early Western explorations of the East.
Mining the rich variety of Asian textiles and traditional dress, we submit a modern evaluation free from exoticism and over-dependence of such references.
The Orientalism 2011 campaign was shot in Singapore by photographer Colin Wee.
The collection is available exclusively at Atelier Ong Shunmugam.
