Inspired by a myriad of references including the Photographic book Swans, Legends of the Jet Society , Ong Oaj
Pairam brings a Riviera cool laid back glamour to his day wear and a French couture style to his evening
gowns.
Showing a sense of humour, Tintin is a key source of inspiration in the
creation of Ong’s Safari jackets and his trench coats. The camel safari jacket
is in supple perforated leather whilst the trench comes in bright yellow suede similar
to the colour of Tintin’s hair.
Look closely and you’ll find that the chic jacquard print on this trench
coat is not just your classic polka dot but also has tiny silhouettes of
butterflies and insects hidden amongst them.
For his SS16 prints, Ong has the jet set life in mind with a stacked
suitcases pattern.
Other prints include a delicate Oriental floral pattern and eerie
silhouettes of birds perched on branches
Hand stitched ruffles cocoon the wearer in exaggerated glamour and
luxury.
Ong chooses a calming colour palette of utilitarian shades of green, russet,
sand, tan and camel representing the jet set’s cosmopolitan travels on safari,
to the jungle and yachts anchored on the Riviera. Whist bursts of sky blues and burning yellow, fuchsia and orange show the
richness and colourful life of the jet setter.
Hand stitched appliqués and embroidery features tropical birds,
butterflies and flowers fused with plastics and traditional Irish techniques.
