Designers Sean Loh and Sheila Agatha taken the industry by storm with their label, Sean Sheila. Hailing from Malaysia and Indonesia, the duo met while studying at the Raffles Design Institute Singapore. Their shared passion for tailored apparel led them to combine their talents and create the unique brand that is Sean Sheila.
Since its debut in 2014, Sean Sheila has become renowned for its distinctive style, merging simple, tailored classics with exquisite handmade fabrics. The brand’s essence lies in its application of hardware materials and signature embroidery techniques, adding a touch of sophistication and uniqueness to each piece. One of their first major achievements as a brand was winning the Harper’s Bazaar Asia New Generation Award regionally for Malaysia and Indonesia.
Introducing Sean Sheila’s Spring/Summer 2023 Collection, “Alter.” Inspired by body modifications and the journey of self-discovery, this collection showcases Japanese fabrics like crinkled linen and silk wool blends in signature kimono silhouettes. The designs feature deconstructed tailoring and signature gold hand/machine embroidery adorned with dried and withered flower motifs.
Beyond the kimono-style top and shorts, cinched silhouettes and bold embroidery take center stage at Sean Sheila SS23 Collection. The collection also includes standout pieces like the Deconstructed Gathered Shirt with Abstract Rod and the Neoprene Top with Abstract Sleeve. The pointed shoulder and slightly puffed sleeve infuse a unique twist to the classic cropped top. Meanwhile, the deconstructed shirt boasts a gathered ruffle on the chest and a gold rod that adds a touch of glamour to any outfit. These versatile pieces effortlessly transition from casual to party wear, ensuring you shine at any event.
