Most Singaporeans grew up reading 8 Days, a weekly entertainment magazine packed with the latest celebrity goss and what’s new in Singapore.

I recall my younger days where I await my weekly dosage of 8 Days and I-weekly as it was my only guide to the local and foreign entertainment scene when the Internet was not as well developed as it is now.

I remember grabbing my first copy of 8 Days with my idol Madonna on the cover and I was delighted to possess ‘Madonna’ for $1 (back in the heydays, 8 Days used to be only $1.oo).

I never knew that one fine day I would be involved in the creative process of creating the weekly issue of 8 Days.

Thanks to Mediacorp Publishing’s executive stylist Ms FONG FAN, I had many chances to be involved with this magazine.

Here are some 8 Days cover and inside pictures where my own creations have been featured:

Lin Chi Ling jiejie is wearing my yellow cotton voile dress. She is one of the most humble and sweetest star

To have Ah Jie wearing my dress on a cover! PRICELESS! Thank you 8 Days and MS FONG FAN for this opportunity

Felicia Chin wearing my dress for the first time

In a separate issue on 8 Days, I was in the background where I was stopping the fight. Lol!

I remembered rushing out this denim dress for Fong Fan and it was such a nightmare as I had to complete the dress within 2 days time. Despite the tight deadline, the dress turned out well and was pleased with the overall effort

Last but not least, 8 Days has just gone into their 1000th issue! Out now, go grab a copy!

All the dresses are done by me

It all started when Fong Fan approached me to collaborate on their 1000th issue. She came up with a cool idea of churning dresses out of fabric printed with 8 Days covers (yes, all 1000 of them).

I love the idea and i came out with the sketch to show her…

The end product!!!

To mark the occasion, there will be a week-long exhibition of 1,000 covers, featuring iconic celebrity images that have made each 8 DAYS cover unique.

The exhibition will be at Iluma at Bugis till December 17. Show your love.
