MARCUS ANG, 24, FOUNDER OF @KUMOTORA.SG, AN INSTAGRAM STORE SPECIALISING IN ANIME PRINT TEES
His sense of style: Thrifty fits and, if Singapore's weather is playing nice, I go for textures and knits for flavour. Also, making accessories is my kind of therapy.
MUHAMMAD NOOR AFFIF, 21, GRAPHIC DESIGNER
Last fashion item bought: Another pair of Balenciaga socks don't judge me, please. I've a thing for designer socks because they make my feet feel appreciated.
NATHANIEL FONG, 24, FASHION CREATIVE
Favourite fashion labels: Issey Miyake and Sillage by Nicolas Yuthanan.
MAXWELL WEST, 24, BAR MANAGER
One fashion item he can't live without: The beret that was given to me by my late mum - it's become a staple that ties all my outfits together.
SYAN ADLY, 23, PHOTOGRAPHER/VIDEOGRAPHER
Style icon: Besides the artistic collective Drain Gang, I get inspiration from the video games I play the likes of Habbo Hotel, Grand Theft Auto V and RuneScape- as they allow limitless character customisation.
BRYAN HO, 22, FREELANCE STYLIST
His sense of style: I like to mix workwear with vintage items from the '80s and '90s. Currently, I'm into garments that are in darker colours and have an interesting cut or shape.
ELDEEN NG, 24, FASHION STUDENT & GARMENT CURATOR AT PRE-LOVED CLOTHING STORE RAIREMART
His sense of style: I wouldn't put myself in a box as I love trying out new styles. I often find myself gravitating towards vintage and retro looks from the '70s and '80s, and sometimes I wear my grandparents' clothes.
MUHAMMAD HARIZ AZMI, 26, FREELANCE ART DIRECTOR
Favourite fashion labels: Graph Layer from Hong Kong and LR3 from Spain.
