While Ong Shunmugam<\/a> became the darling of Singapore's fashion scene thanks to her expertly crafted traditional Chinese outfits - namely\u00a0qipaos<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0cheongsams -<\/em>\u00a0that came with modern twists, this time around, she'll be revered for deconstructing another Asian style, the Japanese Kimono.<\/p>

Taking inspiration from the Japanese <\/a>occupation's impact on Southeast Asia, and the advent of Japanese fabric back in the day, the Cruise 2016 collection<\/a> is ultimately an attempt at re-imagining the signature Kimono style. Whether it be through shirt dresses nipped in at the waist with obi belts or with exaggerated flared sleeves and wide lapels.<\/p>

The collection flowed from dominantly monotone looks decorated with printed belts to outfits that were constructed out of 3 different fabrics, including Indonesian batik, and colour-blocked to create a far more imaginative style that truly embodied Priscilla Ong's unique eye for meshing textures and prints.<\/p>

Moving from sombre shades of grey and navy blue to bright, vibrant flashes of green, orange and a tinge of blush hues, the colours prove to be versatile enough for a wide range of occasions. For instance, one could adorn the fluroscent orange dress for parties and the dark navy blue dress for the office - if your workplace allows for creative outfits that is.<\/p>

At the end of the day, her designs have repeatedly emphasised on\u00a0her impeccable ability at sourcing for intriguing, traditional fabrics from all over Asia and utilising them in a contemporary fashion, without diminishing the cultural aspect to naught. Now, that is the mark of an intelligent designer.<\/p>
