Set against the symbolism of the Fire Horse year in the Chinese zodiac, βBorn of Fireβ acts as a double entendre referencing both the Fire Horse and the local fashion landscape β one shaped by endurance and sustained practice where graduates and pioneers alike are driven by the same passion, sustained by the same fire. The series brings together garments by a new generation of local fashion graduates, presented alongside a local fashion pioneer, Max Tan (
@maxtanstudio ), whose practice extends beyond independent design into national cultural production. Anchoring the narrative is a veteran, locally rooted model, Kaigin Yong (
@kaiginyong ), whose career has since extended onto the global stage, allowing legacy and emergence to unfold in one dialogue.
