The Eye Has To Travel
Female Singapore|August 2022
For his first-ever fashion editorial, the Singapore-based architectural photographer and artist Finbarr Fallon takes the Fall/Winter 2022 collections on an off-the-beaten track tour of our island-city to explore the notions of home. "The locations I chose represent different moments in the home-building process: the materiality of homes-in-progress; the infrastructure keeping our homes running; the need for constant urban renewal as the prevailing narrative of what makes a good city and possibly a liveable home," he says. "I'm very interested in the in-between spaces to be found within cities, especially one that is as well-curated and planned as Singapore. Even if these spaces don't come to mind first when we think about home, they're integral to the continual and often unruly - process of making and maintaining the city as a 'home'." -

THE ROOFTOP OF PEOPLE'S PARK FOOD CENTRE: "I am fascinated by the infrastructure that keeps our homes running. While they are usually concealed, giant extractor pipes here appear to be bursting from within, entangling the building itself."

THE EDGE OF AN INDUSTRIAL SITE IN THE PIONEER DISTRICT: "An unexpected find on one of my weekend walks around one of the lesser-visited industrial areas in western Singapore. The exact function of the green trusses remains unknown, but they appear stacked in temporary storage in beautiful form." (Left) Kaigin wears Fantasy tweed skirt suit and rubber boots.
