[Style Inspiration] Joe Chia
Thursday, October 23, 2014
Joe Chia’s collection is one of my designers that I’ve
been looking for. Remember that time I was cracking heads to look for all-black
dresses but not too glam of course and a friend of mine introduced me to this
collection… A Big wow!
Joe Chia’s clothing language is the celebration of the
designer’s innate Malaysian heritage. The label has increased a distinctive
attention for details and functional qualities, whilst maintaining a strong
connection to urban roots. “The Silent Drama,” described Joe.
Most of his designs look like uniforms for deep thinking
people herders (leaders) who don’t need to use guns, whereas there’s an
absolute sense of leadership and disciplinary. Mostly one-tone shades – black,
white, grey and some blue sometimes, it’s ideal to create those silhouettes
with bulky looks, droopy shoulders, some loosely tailored ensembles, dropped
crotch trousers and plenty of fun with different lengths of tops, jackets,
coats and pants. The clothes are made with very deliberate functionality –
they can be word in different ways. The pieces are serious, functional
and fun.
I’m supporting local designers. Well done Joe Chia and
congratulations of winning the Mercedes-Benz STYLO Asia's Most Influential
Designer, again!
