William Lim, Singapore, b. 1932

• In relation to fashion

The well known People’s Park Complex is still a popular location even till this day, where people of all ages visit for various reasons. It could be seen as a second home for certain people, a place where some could meet their shopping needs or even as an ideal location for fashion photography.

It is amazing how something built so far back in time gets to blend together with the modern lifestyle. Apart from that, the "city room" in the podium block had also been adapted from the ideas of the Metabolism movement in Japan. This proves that inspirations are not just from the country but from all across the globe.

In which, it is just like fashion. Designers draw inspirations from everything, and architecture also contributes to large part of the industry. From the folds, constructions, colours, spaces and even to the interior designs. Examples are Phillip Lim, Maison Kitsuné, and Chloé.

Surely, as each new generation view it in a different light. It has always kept it’s historical value and influence in our society. Personally, i see the worn out walls and paints as a reflection on how our country has progressed from when it was first built.
