When did you realise that you wanted to start designing?
I had an interest in fashion design since high school textiles and design electives. It was a subject were I only looked forward to going to class and on time too if not early.
We use to have a yearly fashion show where we could showcase and model our own designs to the rest of the school and parents & friends with panels and competition. It was always the event to look forward to each year and became a passion. Studying at Raffles KVB institute of Design only further developed this passion and opened the opportunity to working with Nicola FInetti.

About the label
LUCID stands for the independent control over one’s honest mind as well as their dream world within. Lucid believes that every woman is in complete control of her style and image, even during periods of confusion and insanity. It identifies the independence within all women to change as they please, be as they desire, and live and they dream.Lucid demonstrates a careful balance of fun femininity, stylish elegance, androgynous chic and professional sophistication. The collection features harmonious details, soft tailoring and drape, emphasis on unique and refined lines all of which strike an undeniably modern edge. The textile choice is highly selective resulting in a global standard production, a true testament to LUCID’s proactive approach to the deconstruction and interpretation of international trends whilst remaining faithful to understanding the needs of women today. The collection attempts to capture a demographic seeking to self-style in a way that allows freedom of expression while promoting the illusion of an escape from reality. LUCID instills a sense of confidence and reaffirms a sense of self in all that live, wear and believe in the philosophy of the label.
