AVANT-GARDE SUMMERS

You wouldn't think wearing layers in Singapore is the most ideal given how hot and humid the island-city is, especially if they're heavy, thick fabric. But you'd be wrong to assume that: Taz (@b1oodwebs) makes the most out of his wardrobe with some avant-garde designer pieces that would make a polar bear feel threatened.

KEEPING THINGS MINIMAL

Taz's aesthetic is a take on his personality: his relaxed and somewhat mysterious persona is reflected in what he wears. Naturally, his style more often than not stands out amongst the crowd of people as he traverses the streets of Orchard, Jalan Besar and Boon Keng. "Everything's about layers, details and colour. Wearing monochromatic colours like black, white and grey is representative of who I am as a person: mysterious but also exclusive," he says. His interpretation of fashion as an avant-garde and subversive fashion enthusiast is vividly highlighted on his Instagram feed which borders between eerie and alluring. Brands like professor.E, Guidi, and Yohji Yamamoto are some avant-garde brands that resonate with his style most but he also improvises with what's available in his wardrobe, he adds. With more people beginning to be more self-confident in their appearance and style, Taz's aesthete is sure to capture the attention of many who walk past him.
