#taipeiinstyle … fashion & shopping travel with the Depression boys

From November 15 to 20, 2017, I was once again lucky enough to be invited to Taiwan’s premier fashion and retail trade event, Taipei In Style. An added bonus this year was to be joined by two of my most favourite people in the world, Kenny and Andrew from Singapore’s top streetwear label Depression, and owners of the hippest store on the Little Red Dot, Sects Shop [oh, the image featured on the landing page is from a shoot I creative directed for them 🙂 ]. Here are some of the cool spots we discovered wandering around Taipei after the fashion shows …

*note that if I’m in the photo then it means Kenny or Andrew took it. All images shot on iPhoneX – you’ve got to love the portrait mode 🙂
