BRING THE HOUSE DOWN
FOR SOME OF SINGAPORE'S MOST EXCITING CREATIVES, 2025 HAS BEEN QUITE THE YEAR.

WHAT THEY ALL CAN ALSO AGREE ON: NONE OF THEM COULD HAVE DONE THINGS ALONE. TO CLOSE OFF THE YEAR, WE GOT THEM TO GATHER THEIR COMMUNITY – FRIENDS, MENTORS AND COLLABORATORS WHO HAVE HELPED TO SHAPE AND REALISE THEIR DREAMS – AND TELL US ABOUT THEIR JOURNEY, AND WHAT THEY'RE CARRYING INTO 2026.

STORY OF THE DECADE
The French house of Dior was thinking long-term before the rest of fashion even caught up. Cue its Dior Lady Art series: an annual project that represents the bag it gets its name from, the Lady Dior, through the eyes of acclaimed artists from around the world. This year marks its 10th edition — proof that the endurance of an icon doesn't lie in hype drops, but in cultural exchange and creative freedom. Keng Yang Shuen takes a closer look at this milestone collection.

WARNING: CONTAINS GRAPHIC CONTENT
Besides bringing in some of the best movies from around the globe (nearly every one is “Certified Fresh” on Rotten Tomatoes), homegrown independent film distributor Anticipate Pictures is known for its hyper-stylish, often-cheeky scroll-stopping artworks promoting said flicks — after all, the company was founded in 2016, when Instagram was starting to seriously blow up.

CINEMA PARADISO
The house of Chanel has been a committed champion of the film world since founder Gabrielle Chanel started dressing the actresses from the United Artists studio at the request of American producer Samuel Goldwyn in the 1930s. Besides styling stars on screen and off, the brand has been an active supporter of international movie festivals, institutions and directors (local auteur Eric Khoo was one of them); has helped to restore classics such as the enigmatic Last Year at Marienbad (1961); and often draws inspiration from cinema. For Cruise 2025/26, it pays homage to the glamour of the silver screen as well as Coco Chanel's decades-spanning friendship with legendary Italian filmmaker Luchino Visconti. Here's an exclusive closeup look at the collection and the many ways it's coded la dolce vita.

CALLING THE SHORTS
The power of a short film goes beyond its ability to pander to shrinking attention spans. As Thong Kay Wee, the programme director of the Singapore International Film Festival, explains, \"the format is often more inclusive because of its lower production cost, giving space for niche stories and creative freedom to exist\", adding that \"historically, short films have always been an integral feature of local cinema\".

DAYS OF BEING WILD
It began life as the Golden Theatre - Singapore's largest cinema when it opened in 1973 – and was transformed 11 years ago by Karen Tan, Sharon Tan and Blaise Trigg-Smith into The Projector. A bold, indie institution residing in Golden Mile Tower, it challenged the rules of movie-going and became the beating heart of the city's alternative film scene. To survive though, The Projector had to be more than just a cinema - and so it evolved into a space for creative risk-taking, subculture and community. Living up to its tag line, \"Not Your Average Cinema\", it rewrote what a film venue could be. Three months on from its unexpected closure this August, co-founder Karen reflects on more than a decade of cinematic rebellion, cultural experimentation and what it meant to build - and lose - a space like no other.

TALKING ABOUT THE FUTURE LIVE STREAMER SUPERCATKEI
Denise Teo didn't mean to become a live-stream star. In 2020, she joined Twitch and streamed her gaming session out of a desire to meet new people. Now – some 90K followers later – Supercatkei (her online moniker) is a full-blown digital force, with fans tuning in to watch her not only game but also chat, play the guitar and sing. She has repped Singapore at TwitchCon, hit the red carpet to interview Tom Cruise and built a corner of the internet that feels more community than clout. But being perpetually online comes with its own kind of burnout. Together with Polo Ralph Lauren, F ZINE finds out from the 27-year-old about the emotional labour of being everyone's internet comfort person, learning to log off and why passing it on is so important for her.

After all, the business management student went from inking himself for fun to becoming one of the most popular tattoo artists in Singapore in less than four years, if his Instagram followers are anything to go by (more than 40K and counting – his signature kawaii cats and anime-inspired characters are pretty fire). Here, he shares about how he started in the scene, how this gig is going and where he wants to end up.
