FENDI MAKES MONOCHROME MAGIC WITH JOSHUA VIDES

American artist Joshua Vides immersed visitors in a whimsical world straight out of a comic book with a fashionmeetsfood collaboration with Fendi that resulted in the Fendi Ca e and Peekaboo Bar at Harrods in London last year. Now, Vides and Fendi have teamed up again, with the former lending his signature 2D marker style to the latter’s apparel and accessories. This backpack serves as the perfect blank canvas for Vides’ trippy trompe l’oeil visuals, while Fendi’s savoir faire elevates the staple accessory from sporty functionality to a statement on craft and creativity.

The Fendi California Sky backpack is $3,290 and is available at Fendi, #01-10, ION Orchard (tel: 6634 1650).

INSPIRATION

KEVIN LESTER

AKA THELIONCITYBOY

The 36-year-old rapper/songwriter/music producer, who has garnered accolades in both the local and international music scenes, made his name spitting rhyme about Singapore and adding street cred to the nation’s founding father with his 2016 song “HRLY (Harry Lee)”. His comeback single, Could Be Worse, released this May, is the typical, positive TheLionCityBoy response to the Covid-19 pandemic.

DREAM DESTINATIONS

“That’ll be Barcelona and Bali. I have very fond memories of my 2019 Bali getaway, recharging at Potato Head Beach Club and tucking into three delish meals a day at Warung Eropa... I’m really counting down to the next time I can go on a holiday.”
