When it comes to having a weakness for clever and catchy graphic tees - we are guilty as charged!<\/p>

Yes - despite being well\u00a0beyond our teens (and no fans of Justin Bieber for that), we still love wearing those cheeky and cheery t-shirts <\/a>which never fail\u00a0to put a smile on our faces especially on those gloomy and rainy Sundays.<\/p>

This is one reason, we are super excited about the newest kids on the block - Hong Kong-based<\/a> hip multi-brand store Kapok <\/a>which is\u00a0renowned for discovering emerging brands from all around the world and collaborating with the best of them.<\/p>

And instead of having to fly all the way there, Kapok has just opened its first flagship store in Singapore, at the National Design Centre.<\/p>

What more?<\/strong> To kick off its launch in Singapore, Kapok has collaborated with HK-based graphic artist\u00a0Rex Koo on an exclusive collection of tees and totes featuring his trademark minimalistic vector graphic illustrations.<\/p>

The Kapok x Simple People collection<\/strong> takes inspiration from a\u00a0number of\u00a0popular film, music and art icons where in each illustration, the colour palette - combined with Rex Koo's signature geometric style - represent the essence of the subjects which include: The characters\u00a0Li-Zhen & Mo-Wan from Wong Kar-Wai\u2019s film \u2018In the Mood of Love\u2019, David Bowie, Pablo Picasso, Andy Warhol, Vito Corleone (aka The Godfather), Bruce Lee, Karl Lagerfeld<\/a> and Alfred Hitchcock.<\/p>

Our pick:<\/strong>\u00a0Although\u00a0we're fans of everything 'Karl', we cannot resist Rex Koo's\u00a0clever take on the heroes of\u00a0one of our favourite movies of all time<\/a>, Wong Kar-Wai's masterpiece ' In the Mood for Love'.<\/strong> We simply love it!<\/p>

Kapok x Simple People collection <\/strong>(t-shirts at approx. USD72 and totes at approx. USD60) is now available at Kapok, The National Design Centre (g\/f 111 Middle Road, Singapore 188969).<\/em><\/p>
