The newly revamped Praisehaven Family Thrift Store was revealed on March 16th, 2012 by the Salvation Army Red Shield Industries, in conjunction with its 10th anniversary. The entire store are collectively re-designed by Out of Stock, Triggerhappy, Foundry, Hjgher, HOKO, Studio Juju, Super mama and Jarrod Lim. Creative consultant Tracy Phillips helped rebrand a section of the thrift store as well as collaborated with the Salvation Army staff on visual merchandising and pricing. Fashion Director and Show Producer Daniel Boey will be producing a fashion show during this Friday’s store opening to feature clothing redesigned by students from Raffles College.
Yay or Nay?
I personally think its not a bad idea to inject new life into the current thrift store Salvation has but it still proves to be quite a challenge as the donated items in the store tends to be a little difficult to carry off as a fashionable item. Think Ulu Pandan’s 48th Anniversary Walkathon Tee Shirt or ‘I <3 Singapore’ tee shirt from Hang 10. yikes.
then again, treasures are meant for those who wait patiently and dig relentlessly.

kinda eccentric and creepy at the same time.
on the other note, as you guys have noticed, we’ve been posting much on our site. our dear Shi Ying is currently in Loughbrough, UK for her exchange and i just finished school and i am too preparing for our exchange in NZ. so time isnt really on our side but we promised to post as much as we can starting from this moment.
bear with us recyclofans!
A 9 year old boy – who built an elaborate cardboard arcade inside his dad’s used auto part store – is about to have the best day of his life.
what moved me was the people’s support to sustain Caine’s little dream and passion. his ingenuity, imagination and creativity was the one that motivated me to continue what i’m doing.

its earth hour today and just a gentle reminder to turn off your lights and unnecessary appliances for an hour. meanwhile, enjoy this video shot by my fellow schoolmates of School of Art, Design and Media.
and sorry for the century long hiatus. com was down and both shiying and me are bombarded with ruthless assignments. but fret not, we have a handful of exciting posts coming up once the bombardment stops.
peace out.
