About Elvin Ooi
"Fashion has always been my passion. I can say I’m born to be in this industry."
Since young, what Elvin wanted most for Christmas would always been those beautiful Barbie Dolls, all inclusive of frocks, small cut out jeans and accessories so he could dress them up, do up their hair, and reconstruct their image- all day long.
Being an adventurous soul, and knowing that fashion would be his one and only undying interest, Elvin chose to study fashion in pursuit of his passion and dreams.
"I love what I’m doing now in school and I need publicity to show my passion to the industry. I aspire to be the next Raf Simons or Maison Martin Margiela."
About Elvin's Graduate Collection
Elvin's minimalistic collection for Menswear Spring/Summer 2010 is titled ‘Turing Point’. 'Turning Point' was inspired by the building ‘Turning Torso’ created by ‘Santiago Calatrava’, for its twisted architecture, the manifold windows, and the ‘pass through’ chords that surround the building exterior.
The slim and body-hugging collection is meant to create a "3-dimensional image" albeit on a flat piece of cloth base. Elvin creates this effect by utilizing varying tones of the same colour and coupling this with seems that are uniquely cut at different angles. ‘Twisting’ of the Turning Torso is adapted to fashion details like the collars, waistbands and hemlines of pants.
Watch out for Elvin's collection and more at Wardroblings 2009.
