Although a gorgeous smell, the fragrance is so light that it allows your favourite perfume to take centre stage..

When Life Gives You Lemons...by Kuccia

Ong-Oaj Pairam AW15 Collection

This season Ong-Oaj Pairam celebrates the iconic pop culture and celebrity status in all its oversized excessive glamorous indulgence and luxurious glory.

His prints take on a Warhol like approach which can be clearly seen in the recurring image of the young Elizabeth Taylor on an oversized swing coat and the fitted tailored coat.

Other prints take on a camouflage appearance creating a suggestion of danger.  Ong’s urban camouflage is void of any militaristic forms; instead one is an abstract creation of paparazzi cameras and bulbs whilst the other shows a nocturnal animal (akin to the cute bush baby) caught in headlights.

These animals also appear on hand embroidery using the same techniques that are used in military garments.

Ong’s celebration of iconic pop culture isn’t all fame, money and glamour as he plays with themes of vulnerability and at times the vulgarity often associated with a celebrity lifestyle.  Exposing the person underneath are the sheer dresses adorned with Ong’s signature hand embroidered appliqués. This season the appliqués include cameras and animals caught in headlights – a visual metaphor to startled celebrities caught by the paparazzi’s flashing bulbs.
