I’m Dreaming Of A White Crisp Shirt
December 18th, 2012
PAPA Shirt: World Class Garment for the Nation is a collaboration between WANDERWONDER and &Larry.
Produced in an extremely limited run, the Oxford cotton shirt pays tribute and serves a fittingly sartorial update to our ministers’ archetypal white short-sleeved attire. As a subtle reference, each piece is individually hand finished with a lighting bolt appliqué beneath a unique circular chest pocket.
PAPA Shirt retails at S$189 from Thursday, 20 December at WANDERWONDER’s flagship boutique (65A Haji Lane).

A Wrong Mongrel
September 19th, 2012
Handmade footwear merges with 3D printing technology. Presented at the Graduate Expo of London College of Fashion, “A Wrong Mongrel” is a collection of 8 leather boots for men designed by Ross Barber.
It’s neither barbed wire nor a new species of organic coral that is able with time to extend on the outsole of your shoes like a technological ivy.
The elaborate net-like mass that envelops Barber’s shoes is composed of nylon and is made using 3D printing. According to Ross, the cost of the material and the process is not sustainable for a commercial prototype, so for now it’s presented as an experimental project.
The idea behind “A Wrong Mongrel” is that of discarding the conventional design process in favor of an approach guided by technique. From a functional object, the printed nylon “tendril” thus becomes an aesthetic decoration.
With this experiment, Ross wants to show the metamorphosis that occurs in the design process, in which each of the 8 “Metamorphosis” soles represents a different stage of the mutation.
The reticulate indeed resembles an acute acne breakout rising on the skin, engulfing and dominating it like a weed. To us it suggests not only the function which is not strictly decorative or the decadent effect of a vine, but also the ability to favor acoustic and thermal isolation.

Singapore & Co. Carry All Tote Bag
August 10th, 2012
By the locals, for the locals. Two local creative studios, Fabrix, and GOODSTUPH, come together this National Day to produce a limited edition carryall tote bag – the Singapore & Co. Carryall Tote Bag.
THE INSPIRATION
A trading post born off the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula to serve the British Empire once upon a time, the Republic of Singapore stands strong today as a result of her resilient workers.
Life was different then. Cut off from the holding company and reborn a start-up, the future was bleak for the founding workers. Tears were shed. Tattered t-shirts that soaked in sweat. Socks that bled the colours of the Republic’s flag.
We celebrate the founding workers of the Republic, with two limited edition carryall tote bags.
THE CREATION
Built with the same resilience from the founding workers, the carryall combines heavyweight raw cotton canvas with weather-resistant Sunbrella technological textiles.
The carryall comes with an inner organiser compartment to store one’s everyday goods; from the iPad to the mobile phone, and a month’s worth of receipts.
Held together with an 8oz veg tan leather handle that ages over time, the carryall tote bag is a mandatory component for all proud of being made in Singapore.
Individually handcrafted and numbered, the Fabrix x GOODSTUPH Singapore & Co. Carryall Tote Bag comes in two variations, red and blue, limited to only 47 pieces each.
