connecting the dots

there's a secondary school near where i live. recently, i saw this young boy crossing the road to get to the school. he was from the upper secondary levels because he was wearing long pants. there's this thing about length of pants in relation to your education level in singapore. if you are in sec 1 or 2, you wear shorts. move onto sec 3 and 4, you get to wear pants. unless you are from certain boys school who get to wear bermudas. or communist schools which allow only shorts.

back to the young boy crossing the road.

he is so fashion lah. for weekends, I imagine him wearing tapered jeans, a pair of converse, striped t and a 1/2 size too small cardigan. top off with trendy spectacles (even when he has 20/20 vision).

some hybrid of beatniks and baeyongjun.

he carried his weekend passion for tapered jeans to his daily week day life as a student and tapered his school pants as well. It was so radical. I think this modification beats the JC students who modify their shirt hems so that they don't have to tuck their shirts in yet give the illusion that they are.


And if you do notice, even Giordano is going the way of slogan t-shirts. Their World Without Strang(l)ers t shirt now comes in a bigger print, using similar fonts as houseofholland t shirts.

It is quite funny. The stencil font that Giordano used is so..... copy cat.
