Augustman Malaysia taps into the wardrobes of three Malaysian collectors, from sneakers to rare finds in the world of fashion.
THE FASHION FANATIC
Japanophile, a word that describes people who especially admire and like Japan or Japanese ways. Our A-List alumni, Jim Chuah, is a Japanophile, except he collects fashion pieces. Known for his love for all things fashion, especially Nippon fashion-we paid him a visit at his humble abode for this particular feature story. There, he unveiled his closet - from one clothing rack specially for Comme des Garçons pieces to another filled with items from Issey Miyake. The 30-year-old animation and motion graphic designer is the founder of FNL PRJCT, which you may have come across through various TEDx events. Jim's creativity isn't only limited to his designs, but also influences his dressing.
We speak to Jim Chuah about his collections and a real special story related to one of his pieces.
What is something you'd like our readers to know?
I love Japanese fashion, I am obsessed with Comme des Garçons (CDG) and am a big fan of Rei Kawakubo, a Japanese designer and founder of Comme des Garçons.
