[ SHEYPS] For PEACE!

[SHEYPS] FOR PEACE is a fashion art show which involves collaboration between Lasalle’s fashion designes, fine artists, media artists and acclaimed fashion photographer Jerry Aurum. It is also one of the main event of the inaugural Lasalle Arts Management Diploma Show which brings together various faculties to showcase artistic and management talents of future artists and arts managers.

The theme and title of the fashion show is derived from the dictionary pronunciation of ’shapes’. The definition of the theme is to put together different basic shapes like squares, triangles and circles to create work that exemplifies harmony and unity. It parallels with what the exhibition aims to achieve through the collaborative efforts of various shapes represented by individuals of different creative backgrounds. Eventually, these artists will be working together to create a unified and harmonious work, the exhibition. The theme also mirrors the diverse multi cultures of our society and how we have excelled in our quest for harmonious living and Peace.

The idea of [SHEYPS] For Peace came about when I wanted to create something fun in the college. Ever since I moved to Singapore, I noticed that there aren’t very much events within the college and even if there are, they are usually organized within the faculty. Passion, fun and hard work are important factors that has contributed to the success of this project. Although working with different people was very challenging, it served as a great learning experience. It goes beyond getting good grades in school. My aim is to see more of Lasalle students and anyone to undertake such projects as it makes learning more fun, enjoyable and most importantly meaningful. The reason for [SHEYPS] is because ‘Differences are power, Love is the magic, and Peace is what we are looking for.’

Hence, I would like to thank and congratulate everyone who participated in this project from the deepest of my heart, it would not be possible without everyone supports, effort and participations

The coolcrazyawesome graphic designer : Khairil Osman

My mentor / favorite lecturer : Lionel Roudaut for all his meaningful advices for all these 3 years in lasalle.

I remembered, i asked him for his feedback on my work and he told me that “Patricia you are working, but you are running in circles, where are you going ?” and i questioned him about life, after few weeks i tried to find what it is that i am really looking for, and I simply just sit at the garden near my house, doing nothing, at that point of time I know the answer. 

My dearest friend Jerry Aurum, who taught me a lot of things, for every single positive support, and to made me realized my dream. When I first met him, I told him that his work in Femalography inspired me and it gave me this desire to be like them, you know so beautiful and strong. Someone who knows exactly what they want, and unexpectedly he gave me an opportunity to work with him, it was unbelievable. I went to the toilet after he left and was in stoned for like 10 minutes because I was shocked. hahaha! When I complain or in doubt he keep saying that “If you really really want it, everything is possible”. Thank you, really. i will remember it forever as well

Toni and Guy, 2 thumbs up. I could not be any happier to work with them. awesome job.

All the beautiful models! Yana, Roberta, Dara, Prisca, Daphne, and everyone that it is impossible for me to mention it one by one.

Last but not least, I want to thank God for everything he does, to be able to work with all the amazing creative people and make this happened.

And since everyone are graduating from Lasalle soon, and I could not see you guys again everyday, I wish all of you the very best of luck for what it is now, for the future and the new beginning! It’s been great fun, keep in touch. xoxo.

To sum up :

“In our life there is a single color, as on an artist’s palette, which provides the meaning of life and art. It is the color of love. ”
