Fiona Fussi, In kikki.K Paper Dress, Shares About Her Life

13 May 2012, Singapore – We were at the kikki.K store at ION Orchard yesterday afternoon where we spoke to the 16 year old winner of last year’s Elite Model Look and the face of Audi Fashion Week 2012, Fiona Fussi.   Fiona was dolled up in a paper dress unveiled yesterday by the Swedish fashion stationery brand, kikki.K, the Official Fashion Stationery Partner for the festival.  She posed in the window display while people were snapping photos of her while walking past the store.

The paper dress was designed by Australian Design Studio team, Trial and Error.  It was created to celebrate kikki.K’s 10th year anniversary.  Illustrating the mantra that stationery is a fashion accessory for all seasons, the dress is constructed with hundreds of pages from the kikki.K 365 Days Journal and white paper.  It even has accessories such as a belt and neckless made from the kikki.K Black Cube Notepad.

The dress will be on display at the kikki.K ION Orchard boutique at Unit 44-46, B2 ION Orchard, during Audi Fashion Festival from 16 to 20 May 2012.

kikki.K has also created a limited edition set of Fashion Quote Cards which offer fashion inspiration for your home or workspace.  These cards feature quotes from Coco Chanel, Vivienne Westwood and Bill Blass, presented in hand drawn typography on cards in a gorgeous Kraft box and retails at S$12.90 each.

Currently sitting for her i(GCSE) exams at the United World College here, Fiona has to juggle between school as well as rehearsals and engagements at Audi Fashion Week 2012.  She told us she is sitting for 16 papers within three weeks and it has been very stressful for her.  Unlike her  other classmates who get more time to prepare for the exams,  she would have to cram her tight study schedule as well as her other engagements.

Because of the education and modelling engagements, the only child’s parents have been really supportive.  When I asked how she was going to celebrate Mothers’ Day with her parents, she mentioned that both dad and mum are really supportive and if she needed more time to study, they were perfectly fine if she stayed home to study.

Since attending the finals at Elite Model Look in Shanghai last year, Fiona has been featured in magazines including Her World and on the cover of the inaugural issue of Nylon.  Her first catwalk engagement since the Elite Model Finals would be at Audi Fashion Week later this week in Future Fashion Now between 16 to 20 May 2012.
