Chalk

- Priscilla Tan
LABEL CONCEPT
Launched in 2009, Chalk is a manifestation of Priscilla's creativity, giving form to her original ideas and inspirations. Drawing importance from self-expression, her clothes are easy to slip on, love and wear unbothered. Spare without sparing character, they are desgined to function and left alone for the wearer to make her own.
Priscilla creates each heart-felt season passionately and carefully. Boasting modern, sophisticated lines with an intimate attention to fit and detail, each piece enhances and flatters, rather than overpowers. Unique prints, a salute to Priscilla's background as a visual artist, puts the finishing touches on a classy, versatile and fun look, a look that is distinctly Chalk, and uniquely you. Equally important is Priscilla's attention to the details of construction, achieved by her personally inspecting all factories and exercising stringent quality inspection.
Clothing by Chalk promises to inject the fun back into dressing up!
DESIGNER PROFILE
Priscilla Tan stumbled into fashion design at a tenger age when her precious Barbie dolls got taken hostage by her beloved grandmother. You could say her love for fashion design actually stems from a compensatory mechanism sparked off by her tragic childhood event.
Tragic childhood aside, Priscilla has now moved on to design clothes for the beautiful dolls of all ages that walk the street of our contemporary society. Join her in her passion as you become one of the many dolls to inspire her by looking through her work or by offering a kind word or two.
On a serious note, (although all the events stated above are rather true), Priscilla graduated with a degree in Fashion Marketing at the University of Huddersfield and a diploma in Fashion Design at Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts.
Upon graduation, she was assistant fashion designer for Swirl, a Singapore fashion label for 2 years. And in 2007, she won the TOPSHOP/TOPMAN Fresh Graduate Showcase organised by the Singapore Fashion Week.
She hopes to spend her life being inspired by fashion and all things beautiful.
