Introducing Chin Teo-Long Dream AW0910






CHIN TEO was born in 1985 in Muar, Malaysia. He studied industrial design at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and graduated with honours in 2008. A lack of interest in commercial design spurred him to enroll in jewellery making and silversmithing at CAE Melbourne. A realization of his true passion pushed him to learn techniques and skills that has enabled him to create a first collection that is truly inspiring.

CHIN TEO “long dream” is a young designers fresh approach to contemporary jewelery.

The Label – CHIN TEO, vision and craftmanship

Chin’s work relies heavily on traditional “hands on” techniques that involve manual cutting, bending, soldering and hammering. The use of these techniques allow irregularites and unique detailing to be cast into his work. The exposure of flaw, the exploration of material characteristcs and the continual search of beauty within imperfection is the soul of CHIN TEO.

CHIN TEO is a niche market label with limited production. Each piece is unique and is designed for the individual who has a sence of appreciation for quality craftsmanship.
2009 Collection – LONG DREAM

“Long Dream” is inspired by master of Japanese comic horror, Itou Junji. It is based on the story of a man with an untreatable mysterious disease, which forces his dreams to become longer and more drawn out each night until the distinction between what is real and what is fabricated by the mind becomes lost.

Introducing Yohan Serfaty

French designer Yohan Serfaty is a master at manipulating leather to do whatever his imagination needs it to do. His leather coats and jackets are something you truly have to witness in person to understand why I lay such heavy adjectives upon him. From his womenswear and menswear collection you'd be hard pressed to find someone as meticulous as he is with leather.

Introducing Carol Christian Poell






Carol Christian Poell, an Austrian designer who holes up in a studio in
Milan's Naviglio district where he quietly designs an ultra-niche, cult
label that he doesn't always produce and only shows to the public when
he feels like it.
Carol Christian Poell, born in Linz in 1966, lives and works in Milan,
Italy. After having been trained as a men's and a ladies' tailor in
Vienna (Michelbeurn), he studied fashion design at the Domus Academy in
Milan where he also founded the production and distribution company
C.C.P. Srl together with his partner Sergio Simone. After having
presented his first men's collection in 1995, he developed his ladies'
collection from classical elements of traditional menswear three years
later. The distribution network for his articles of clothing and
accessories, which are quite extravagant in terms of production
technology, includes more than 40 dealers all over the world.
