Imagine going from copying music video dance moves on MTV as a child, to winning a national dance competition on TV – that’s not some feelgood movie storyline, but Rachel Lee’s life story. The 31-year-old, better known as “Racheezels” (a portmanteau of her name and favourite snack), is now a professional dancer and one half of popping duo “Scrach Marcs”, formed with her husband Marcus Tan in 2008.
The petite dancer has a penchant for vintage clothes, and is always decked out in accessories. “There’s no such thing as too much accessories! They really take your outfit to the next level. Vests, statement belts, hats are my best buddies and I wear them almost every day.”
And brands adore her: She has appeared in campaigns for Uniqlo, Asics, Spotify and Havana Club, showing off her signature experimental aesthetic, which involves mixing vintage pieces with new ones to breathe new life into them.
Naturally, the cool girl is a fan of thrifting and vintage shopping, a must-do whenever she travelled to countries like Japan and the US. But the business graduate has also taken it to the next level by starting her own vintage clothing businesses, Raid Revival and Style Fromagerie.
