Interview: Paul Khor
[ThinkMaven] The globetrotting fashion boutique owner Paul Khor has been hard at work over the last few years building his little empire. However, there’s no empire without a story, and looking at the three stores that Paul built out of nothing, the story can be found behind the retail doors and between the hangers.

Feiyue Custodian of Freedom
The Asian-based French sneaker brand, Feiyue recently made its round throughout Singapore personally delivering un paquet filled with French-inspired goodness. The kick ass people of GOODSTUPH led by a good friend of mine, Pat Law, painstakingly delivered these hand-assembled packages to their selection of 50 Custodian of Freedom.
Apparently I am in that category, purveying the idea of freedom, releasing doves in the air and doing a little freedom dance. I do believe that freedom is free, and coincidentally, those are the same words tattooed on my arm in French: la liberte est gratuite.
Here’s me, not being sure how to react to this fucking lovely package…
I finally managed to take the paquet home after being not so crazy busy at work. There’s an awesome mid-top Feiyue A.S sneaker, a hand-written letter, a bottle of Kronenbourg 1664, macaroons, cookies, croissants and even a map to a Feiyue store in Paris. I am not much of a shopper, the last (and only) pair of shoes I had was purchased 3 years ago; so this is really awesome. Anyway, the beer was the first thing I had, it’s gone now.
I found out that you can also nominate potential Custodian of Freedom on Feiyue’s Facebook page. I threw in a couple of names of people whom I felt have explored and expressed their creative freedom bravely till today. This includes Aarika Lee and Kevin Lester from Sixx, Kavan Spruyt from Midnight Shift, and Kiat from Syndicate. Nomination ends on Dec 31, so get-on-clicking now!
Drop by Zouk x Feiyue 20/20 Sneaker Launch on Nov 16, 10pm at Velvet Underground, Zouk as the French sneaker brand collaborates with the great dame in line towards the latter’s 20th anniversary celebration.
Big gratitude goes out to Feiyue and GOODSTUPH for this awesome paquet. See you guys at the party.
