Ladies, THIS is How You Raid The Men’s Closet
I live in an interesting world. The guys at my school, (yes dudes, blokes, whatever you call them) have evolved to carry PS1s and Luggage Totes. My classmate even threw his Birkin onto the floor. Egads. They are able to re-contextualize them with huge swooping coats and large rectangular blocks of color, in what I can only describe…

James Morrison and Our 5-Minute Cheer For An Encore At His Singapore Gig
Frank Ocean made an unequivocal observation when he said, “When you’re happy you enjoy the music. But when you’re sad, you understand the lyrics.” What James Morrison has achieved with his third album, The Awakening, is the precise halfway point of that musing. And then you hear him LIVE… it was no wonder that people…
Spector; Live in Singapore! A Glimpse of the Future?
October 4th 2012; probably just any ordinary Thursday evening for many; but for the few privileged enough to be at Avalon, that night would probably be a night to remember for a long time.

Up Close And Personal With Spector
Many liken them to The Strokes, The Killers and The Vaccines. For a relatively new band, drawing such praise from people should be admirable enough but these indie rockers also have a list of credentials to prove their worth; with Coachella and Florence + The Machines to name a few. Just hours prior to their…

JR won the "Singapore Young Designer of the Singapore Fashion Festival" in 2007, and since then, she has never failed to deliver classy yet edgy apparel for men. It is no wonder she is selected as one of the six local designers who will be rocking the runway for Digital Fashion Week 2012.

It may have been pure coincidence when she first discovered her stagename and it most probably have taken a huge gamble when she first became a singer but when Russian Red came by our little red dot for a second show, there was no luck involved; just sheer class.
