This July has been indeed an exciting one! Ramadhan and Eid have always been the busiest time of the year but this year is extra special. As I thought through what I wanted to write, I realized that you only really start to count your blessings when you pen them down one by one. 1) We had our best sales this Ramadan since we launched a year ago! Our Blnk Cnvas Eid collection was met with great fanfare since our launch and is now almost sold out!!! Thank you so much guys for supporting our work and visiting us at CelebFest and Enpointe! On another high note, we made the cover of Sheikhahub's magazine! 2) Great feedback from our #lullyselbsquad...
It's been almost 5 years since I've graduated yet this piece of paper which I tore from my college newsletter is still up on my inspiration board. Back when I was pursuing Fine Arts, there was always a struggle to find my personal style and thinking: "What will I paint today?" The famous quote, "An artist fears the black canvas" is definitely true. Being asked to produce numerous paintings with themes likes Human and Machines while juggling group projects and art theory presentations meant that we constantly had to come up with new and interesting pieces all the time. Ever since we've started Lully Selb and as we approach our 1 year-mark, I've been feeling slightly nostalgic and thinking of past work...
It seems like it was only yesterday that I was gathering inspiration for last year's Eid moodboard. A few collections later, I'm especially nervous for the next one! I'm sure by now some of you have already started hunting for your 1st day outfit. Who wouldn't want to look pretty for Eid #ootd right? Here's a peek at what goes into designing a Lully Selb collection... After launching our Summer Shadows collection, we'd received such a great response for using pastel colours in our mashed up geometry shawl. So we decided to stick to the pantone colours of the year; Rose Quartz and Serenity. As a start to designing the prints, Selb and I wanted go back to our roots in art education where we both...
I just got back from my honeymoon a week ago and everything was amazing. My husband and I explored some parts of California and flew in to Canada where we enjoyed the peace in the middle of their National Park. I shall blog more about the whole honeymoon adventure but for now, here's my favourite picks of artworks I came across while travelling. Venice Beach, Los Angeles This side of LA is slightly more artistic, with a lot of buskers around, skaters and people just taking a stroll. I was told that as the day gets by, it gets more livelier but unfortunately didn't get to see it throughout the day as we had a flight to catch to...
Every beginning of the year, I look forward to see the biggest art exhibition, Art Stage Singapore. For its 6th edition this year, they play host to 170 international galleries from 33 global cities of 33 countries including 32 galleries from Singapore. Upon entering, I was greeted with Thai artist- Ploenchan Vinyaratn(Mook) spectacular massive appliqué! Mook is a graduate of Central St. Martin's London in Woven Textiles. Here are my favourite picks! An eye catching display showcases paintings of patterns and portraits-two favourite subjects of mine! Golnaz Fathi's bold red and black painting... Next up are the best monochrome pieces. For those who are a fan of Eko Nugroho, you would definitely be able to spot his signature masked-eyes-patterns. This...
