British Sea Power - Woman of Aran

I was convinced that melody here was the sound of a gamelan, but I think it's just a xylophone now.

We Couldn't Afford a TVmobile Ad, Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas from all of us at K.I.N and sifr

Some new products

Here are some snapshots of new items that are coming out from our workshop. The three pieces are:

3/4 Floral Henley Shirt using matte/semi translucent cream buttons. The fabric is a very light silk-screened broadcloth with contrasts on placket and trims. Garment is enzyme and silicone washed for a soft and worn out feel. This is retailing at 139SGD.







































Next is the Raglan Short-Sleeve Cardigan which uses an interlock jersey (155 GSM in weight) combining construction detailing around the shoulders to create a more natural draping sleeve and a more solid structured body. Garment is washed with fabric softener for smoother hand feel. Check the detailing on the back. This is a pretty interesting sewing detail that uses self binding. Great on footwear and accessories such as bags as well. This is retailing at 119SGD.







































Worship Shirt Act: III is also being re-released. This garment features stretch poplin with subtle patch construction along the front panel. This is retailing for 109SGD.

We're Open

Same time, same people, different store. See you guys very soon.

Much love to our great friends at FUUR who did the interior for the store, it's been a great process working together and finishing a great project.

▲ Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? ▲

Our main man, Daryl Chan, behind the graphics and visual branding related to K.I.N and sifr is part of the upcoming event, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? in conjunction with the Singapore Design Festival that will be held at The Substation this coming November 25th. Come down and show some love. 

See how 20 Singapore artists have been inspired by the movie Bladerunner. The seminal movie has inspired and influenced artists since its release in 1982 and continues to be a classic cult film crossing several genres. This show brings together artists from a range of disciplines including product design, interactive media, graphic design, photography and illustration. This group will be creating a cross between a pop-up shop and an exhibition. Sound designers will create tracks specifically for the event. There will be customized trainers, Sunglasses, graphic prints and other pieces which are not so easily categorized. These pieces will be for sale in exclusive limited runs. 25 Nov-30 Nov at The Substation.

Of Forest, Sea and Mountain

The two people responsible for the photography in the sifr lookbook and the K.I.N zine are having a gallery exhibition soon. Some information below.

Of Forest, Sea and Mountain
by Ang Song Nian, Dju-lian Chng and Jovian Lim

Evoking a sense of an unusual mix of romanticism and avant-garde, it is the personal self-interpretation of landscapes and a reflection of the emerging innovations of photography. This exhibition will challenge the very archetypal notions of landscape and introduce a fresh visual introspective of their personal constructed landscapes deliberately imbibed with intended meanings about life, technology and space.


Dju-lian re-explores the existing lens-subject relationships, metamorphosing images of the real into something digitally obscure while highlighting technological prowess and its ability to shrink worldly boundaries. Jovian’s works draws upon and challenges the classic mythological ‘heroic journey’ by illustrating abstract parallels to the realities experienced in our daily lives. Finally, Song Nian works depict voluminous amount of greens, space and confetti to suggest the relationship with

the environment and humans.

OPENING RECEPTION: 25 Nov,Wed 7pm
RSVP by 23 Nov shihan@2902gallery.com
Exhibition runs till 16 Dec 2009

Department of Eagles - No One Does It Like You

If you liked the song Deep Sea Diver by Grizzly Bear that we posted a few weeks ago you'll like Department of Eagles. This is Daniel Rossen's (songwriter, guitarist and vocalist for Grizzly Bear) and friend/roommate Fred Nicolaus's side project.

Madlib - Indian Deli

Just love how Madlib goes around the world and fuses international sounds over a hip-hop beat.

We Are Expanding Our Reach

Our good friends from Soon Lee just recently opened up a new store called Rockstar, which is conveniently located at the Orchard Cineleisure shopping mall. We're glad to have both our sifr and essentials line stocked at such a well curated space. They've been a close observer of how sifr has progressed over the last year or so now; as we have been a close observer of how their retail venture came into materialization. After a culmination of mutual support it's a pleasure to finally get the chance to work together.

Some preview shots.

A Glimpse at the Store Before the Renovation

The store is about 1/3 through the renovation, we can expect to be open and fully operational by sometime during the second week in November. It's been a great 2 1/2 years and we'd like to say thank you to everyone that has shown us some support.
