Artist statement
In this artwork, an adult-size lace-trimmed suspender belt is fastened around a blank medium-sized artist canvas displayed backwardly.

"Is a fashion painting a painting wearing clothes?" This was the fifth answer to the question "What is a fashion painting?", the creative brief I assigned to myself for Vogue Singapore's March "Creativity" issue.
