Wardrobe: Jeni Kai, Esquire Singapore fashion director

Before you - our permanent heading "Wardrobe". For her, we take pictures of our favorite things beautifully, distinctively or strangely dressed people and ask them to tell stories that are connected with these things.

Photographer: Shavonne wong

In the new material - Jeni Kai, fashion director of Singapore Esquire, owner of a dozen classic suits and charming smile.

For me - the key to fashion in the study. I like to watch what happens behind shop windows: how customers interact with clothes and accessories. It helps me understand what the designer wanted to say when creating this or that thing. If I can count the story behind this or that thing, all - consider it bought me! Fashion was created precisely in order to tell stories; every thing we choose somehow characterizes us. I don't do shopping so often, but the last thing that hooked me is a beautiful coat. Kenzo from the metallized fabric. It immediately reminded me of the London propulsion of the early 1960s, in any case, my developed imagination immediately painted such a picture. I am a child of the 1980s. We love to dream.

Blazer Zara, trousers H & M, bracelet Mulberry

Fabrics, prints, forms. I love to mix them and get unexpected results. BlazerZara I bought it when I passed through their boutique through to shorten the way. As a result, stuck there for an hour!

Printed trousers H & M I just could not buy. Burgundy (Burgundy) - one of my favorite colors. It is noble, sweet and wears the name of the place where one of my favorite wines is made (I’d like to have a glass of Chambolle Musigny ...) And this takes us to the next item - a hat made of felt Gucci.

She is just perfect, it's not so easy to find a hat that fits my head, but this one is soft and fits perfectly. I try very hard somehow not to sit on it.

Gold bracelet with flowers I received as a gift from Mulberry at one of their dinners. It seems to me that delicate floral patterns and a pale golden hue make it very beautiful.

Tie Agnes b., shirt, mom's gift, brogues Eden,bracelets Tod's and Bottega Veneta, clock Skagen

This military shirt was bought by my mother in Hong Kong. It seems to me that this shirt is quite memorable, and therefore I try to wear it less often.

Brogues Eden I bought in a hurry, as I was late for the plane. In the end, it turned out that this pair is two sizes smaller than mine. But I still love them because of the deep red color and massive soles.

I managed to buy this tie on the last day of sales in Galleries Lafayette, when I was in Paris. I really like this print and the fact that the tie is cotton.

A leather bracelet was presented to me at the Singapore flagship store. Tod's. This happened unexpectedly after I spoke with the manager. This is the second accessory after my watch, which I wear so often. I love him very much.

Bracelet Bottega veneta My friend gave me a photographer for my birthday. It was very nice of him, as my sister has the same bracelet, only of a different color.

I really like that this man-style watch. They are with me for 4 years.

Jacket, scarf (can't remember), clock Edypoi

This green jacket constantly reminds me of golf. But I like the fact that it has the same color as my future sports car (Triumph Spitfire, if you're interested. If I ever get a license ...)

One day my friend designer Xavier Leroy Zhang asked me to help him design his first collection of watches. Of course, I agreed! So I got this watch.

I can't remember where the silk scarf came from in my wardrobe. But it is incredibly soft and light. Maybe it was a free application to some magazine?

Jacket, colleague's gifttie clip mom's gift

The father of my colleague Wayne served in the troops of the Singapore Army. Wayne is a very nice and warm person - he gave me his father’s military jacket. I hope that he will not ask him back, since I have already managed to fall in love with this thing.

Tie clip gave me a mom. She knows how to choose the right jewelry. I love brooches and pins. Unfortunately, in Singapore I have not yet managed to find such things of the right size and shape. Therefore, I buy them when I am abroad.

When I put on this cap, I feel that I need only one thing - an airplane. And maybe a pilot ID.

Vest Q Menswear jeans Uniqlo brooch, sister's gift sleepers Alfred dunhill

My buddy Han San, who founded his brand not long ago Q Menswear made this wonderful cotton vest.

I always wonder how Uniqlo I manage to do such wonderful and high-quality things at such an affordable price. This also applies to my pair of jeans.

My sister made me a ceramic brooch. She lives in Melbourne and does what she likes.

Gastuk Dunhill I bought only because of the unusual design and bright print.

A pair of shoes that can never bring compliments. But I could not resist when I passed by the window: they look almost jeans.

Butterfly, hat, icon Christian Lacroix bracelet Alfred dunhill

I bought a butterfly with a huge discount in one of the old stores in Centrepoint. She is childish, but fits me perfectly.

The hat I bought in Malaysia is worn out and badly dented. I had to sit on it during flight delays at the airport.

I am very attached to this ceramic badge Christian Lacroix. He is from the men's summer collection 2013. Although at first it seems that this is an icon in the spirit of Vote-For-Me. But, having looked narrowly, it is possible to understand that it is not.

This pocket scarf is made from flax. In general, flax is a material that is great for a tropical climate. It is a pity, it is used not so often.

I bought a golden bracelet with precious stones in a shopping center Mustafawhich is located in the region of Little India. It works 24 hours a day, and there you can buy anything. A great option for night shopping, if you just can not sleep.

Jacket Zara, shirt G2000, loafers Tod's bracelet Thirty-six, cap Alfred dunhill

I never thought that I would buy a pink jacket, but it paid off to me a hundredfold, it is perfectly tailored and has a beautiful printed lining. I immediately lead to similar details

Polka Dot Bought at Store G2000.

Cap made of cotton and suede brand Dunhill You will not believe how much I love this brand.

Thai leather bracelet Thirty-six I bought many years ago inQuintessentials.Bracelet Wonder Woman. Created for those days when you want to feel like a superhero.

My coral loafers Tod's they have such a unique color that when I saw them in the store, I realized that they were just made for me! I never think what to wear them with, this color goes with everything.

Hat Wisma Atria jacket Zara, moccasins Tod's belt Paul Smith, sister's gift

I grabbed this little hat in the form of a pillbox at the very last minute with local designers. Wisma Atria. This is vintage, and I was just looking for a suitable accessory for a dress. La perla to go to the opening party of the Singapore Esquire. I had time at the last moment - I found it just an hour before the event, but I still did it!

I bought a military style jacket Zara and wear daily. It has a lot of pockets, and I have always a lot of things. I even try to choose dresses with pockets. Maybe because I have been dealing with a lot of very small things all day long: business cards, small things, tissue samples. You never know what you will deal with.

The floral leather belt is a gift from my sister, Jerry, who is working on Fashion Week with me. Almost every week we went together, and I am so glad that I have it. You would not believe in what we fell scrape ... This is a belt Paul Smith was bought in paris. I just adore him!

Pink pastel moccasins Tod's. Such an interesting color! I love them very much, but always afraid to get dirty: the color is beautiful, but very easily soiled. Still, it did not stop me taking pictures on the grass.

Blazer Q Menswear father's hat

A beautiful blazer of a cornflower-blue print resembles window frames and is part of a costume made by talented Jeon Han San from Q Menswear. The color and stripes are fantastic, and the jacket fits perfectly. I found the red silk lining myself.

I borrowed a white hat from my father. The two of us already have an entire general collection.
