For modelling in the brand’s S/S ’15 campaign, this FKA Twigs lookalike has become known as the Marc by Marc Jacobs girl.

She got her start helping out with music programming at Creatory, a gourmet-meets-art festival organised by top local design agencies including Hjgher, Ong&Ong and 8@ate Productions last year. Then came the audiovisual fest Super 0 Open Air this January, where she spearheaded social media marketing. “A few years ago, the (lifestyle) scene here had nothing.

Her enthusiasm led her to join small plates restaurant Kilo – known for its After Dark parties that have drawn the hip set with its house tunes, trippy lasers and authentic underground vibe – in April. At press time, she had just wrapped up its second anniversary bash that saw an over 1,000-strong turnout, and was working on an upsized edition: a festival that “aims to take the After Dark name regional, and contribute to the local music scene with its focus on Singapore-based DJs” early next year.

She says: “The best events showcase creativity… They’re multidisciplinary with good music, food and an interactive element. No one wants to go (to an event) just to stand around and take photos.”
