Man With Style: Chris Kiong, Director At Parallax Collective

“Korean-American rapper Jay Park has been one of my style inspirations for a while now!”

“I love Miuccia Prada and how she marries functionality and utility with style. Needless to say, I’m in love with Prada’s Nylon range.”

“My skincare routine is customised by the skin specialists at Eclado. Hair-wise, Goldwell’s Stylesign Creative Texture Roughman 4 is a must.”

“... Something timeless and personal—it’s not the same as fashion, which, to me, is timely and a collective taste. My style doesn’t typically revolve around what’s ‘hype’ at the moment; it’s more of what I personally feel is aligned with my mood that day.”

“I have a soft spot for shoes—the flavour of the moment is the Nike Dunk Low ‘Community Garden’.”

“I remember being taken with effortlessly cool skate fashion, which heavily influenced my current style. I realised I love dressing up when I was very young—I’ve always liked to perform and dressing up is a part of that!”

“I like WTAPS, Nike, Stüssy, Prada and Dior. These brands aren’t too loud, but also don’t hold back on the details.”



 

“I indulge my artistic leanings at Parallax Collective, which creates all forms of media content, and dance studio Recognize! Studios, where I’m an instructor.”

“... I’d be a chocolate chip cookie. Why? It’s tasty and well liked, plus cookies come in different shapes and sizes—just like humans!”

“My favourite hobby is cooking —especially cheesy pastas and steaks!”
