Nostalgic Creations from the Kopitiam

The fashion industry has little appreciation for knitting - commonly seen as a hobby for stay-at-home moms and old homebodies. Founder Chia Lee took it upon herself to refurbish the image of the knitted sweater, following stints with design houses such as Degen and Theory respectively. Join us this week as we venture through her work with knitwear  and the homely inspirations of her latest Kopitiam collection. Later, Florence Song of Zalora and BFM’s Othniel Ting share their views on the kicking trendsetter, Dad sneakers.
