Recapturing the Textile Culture Heritage & Memories of Arab Street Collaboration Brief

Recapturing the Textile Culture Heritage & Memories of Arab Street S02

Recapturing the Textile Culture Heritage & Memories of Arab Street 2021 Season 2
Raffles x URA x OKG Collaboration 2021

Following the successful collaboration with the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) and One Kampong Glam Visit Kampong Gelam on recapturing the textile culture at Arab Street, Singapore, we are proud to debut Season 2 of Recapturing the Textile Culture Heritage & Memories of Arab Street.

After the virtual walkabout of Arab Street conducted by Ms Stella WEE of URA, and with the overview of the history and current development of the precinct, Raffles Fashion and Jewellery Designers headed down to Arab Street to commence their research for their fashion collections. In support of the Arab Street merchants, Raffles Designers sourced all the textiles and haberdashery within the precinct to share their stories of Arab Street through their designs.

Eight collections drawing inspirations from the architecture of Sultan Mosque, woven baskets once sold at Arab Street, Malay literature, kebayas, batik printing, kris (an asymmetrical dagger with distinctive blade-patterning), etc, were created to illustrate the rich culture of the street.

This Industry and Community Engagement project offers Raffles Designers the opportunities to apply their design thinking skills to provide creative solutions for a real-life challenge.

Another successful collaboration by Design!

The New Luxury – Raffles x UrbanHair 2021

The New Luxury by Urbanhair

Urbanhair, founded by Mr Eugene ONG, has worked with celebrities including international names like Michelle Yeoh, Joan Chen, and Christy Chung.

When conceptualising the new salon concept, Eugene has, in response to the pandemic, taken into consideration the provision of a safe and hygienic environment for customers to look and feel great in. Eugene has tasked Raffles Fashion Marketers to develop a marketing campaign to promote the new salon concept and its services, situated at its new location at Shaw Centre, Orchard Road.

Five teams of Raffles Fashion Marketers presented their proposals to Mr Eugene ONG with recommendations for Urbanhair’s website, social media engagements using Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and promotional mechanisms and events for his consideration and implementation.

The winning concept went to The New Luxury by Evania Jocelin Budiharto, Miranthi Putri Fitrianda, and Yong Le Yee (Alex), while the first runner-up went to Bunag Danielle Lauren Guieb, Shenia Aurelia, and Liang Yizhi (Maggie).

Participating in such industry projects provides Raffles Marketers the platform to apply their marketing knowledge outside of the classroom and gain global perspective.

The tutelage of Raffles’ international pool of Creative Practitioners, and having an internationally recognised UK degree with a strong industry focused curriculum and portfolio, enhances Raffles Fashion Marketing graduates’ employability and immediate contribution to the creative industry upon graduation.

Raffles Jewellery Designer Mifuyu FUKAI launches Midori Collection at RISIS Boutique Singapore

Raffles X RISIS Boutique

Congratulations to Raffles Jewellery Designer Mifuyu FUKAI on her launch of the Midori Collection, now available at the RISIS Boutique at ION Orchard.

The Midori Collection by Mifuyu Fukai, comprises of a set of Ring, Earrings and Necklace made with Prasiolite.

Mesmerized by the beauty of Japanese culture, the Midori collection captures the skills of artisans and is inspired by the picturesque scenery of Japan’s iconic landmark, the bamboo forest. “Midori” signifies Green in Japanese, a reflection of nature’s enthralling wonders. Handcrafted and encapsulated in 18K Yellow Gold, each piece takes the form of delicate bamboo leaves, intricately weaved with associations of strength, peace, and eternal youth as a demonstration of its meticulous craftsmanship.

Featuring nature-inspired jewellery adorned in exuberant prasiolite (green amethyst). Each piece brings out the inner glow of the wearer, akin to one taking an enchanting walk through the forest that captures the interplay between light and leaves, evoking feelings of tranquillity. Includes detachable earrings which presents different looks for varying occasions. (RISIS, risis.com)

This is an amazing collaboration between Raffles and RISIS to have a student launch her collection commercially. It is truly an amazing feat to have one’s work commercialised as a student, this provides for an invaluable addition to her portfolio giving her the necessary edge as a designer over her peers in employability.

Raffles strives to provide for an industry focused curriculum and a hands-on learning experience for our designers to be constantly updated with the latest in design technology and methodologies, this also in turn provides designers with the avenue to participate in industry collaborations and competition to build their portfolios with industry contributions adding to their employability.
