It’s ovah!
And especially to our many lovely readers who, unfortunately, did not manage to snap up some FT x PMS invites for the event (thanks to the peanut space that Barsonic had to offer and where 80% of that peanut space were dedicated to the runway platform itself!), we sincerely apologize, with tears! So we’re making it up to you guys out there with some lovely pictures taken by our amazing photographers Jules & Jason! hehe ;)
Installations by Mawk, Zillieman & GG:
We’d also like to give thanks for all the support from our friends & family, our loyal readers, all 15 models that helped make it all happen, our many contributors and sponsors and most of all, Femmething!

Today, marks the end of our 2 month long slave fest; and finally a day we can all say, ‘damn it, it’s a friggin wrap’! If you even give a two cents about what we two crazee wannabe-try-hard girls are up to, hold your horses and freeze right there dollies! Pump the stereos up, get comfortable and pin your eyes on this collaborative work by ProjectMuffStit and Stesha Ho.
What’s the formula, u ask? Step 1: Downing our regular jugs of Ice Jasmine Green Tea with extra honey pearls for that inspiration punch. A little habit we got hooked on since a couple months back. Teehee. Step 2: Paint the images of 6 dress designs in our micro brains and imagine it come to life, of course while pigging out on some Tuna Carpaccio! Step 3: Enslaved Stesha Ho to sketch out our brainwork on paper.Step 4: Made trip after trips of fabric hunting. So crazy its not funny. Step 5: Fairy got to work and zombied herself on that monster machine, eventually making our designs come to life. woots! 2 months after and our brainwork has come to life:

FEATURE: STESHA HO
The main reason why we started ProjectMuffStit couple of months back was to work on collaborative projects with creative individuals in the fashion+art+design industry. Fate brought us to bump into Stesha Ho on the streets about 3 months ago. A couple of meet ups and alcohol shots after, we brought her on board to work on a project with us.
.
Apart from being our former high school junior and now our trusty lil fairy, Stesh is a 2nd year student at RMIT’s Diploma of Textiles, Clothing and Footwear. Her foundation at LimKokWing University has helped her garner an amazing skill in fashion sketches in which stunned the hell outta both of us. Friggin no joke wtfomgkillergilerbabikrazee.
.
.Her style is the epitome of haute couture on fire with distinctive elaborateness and minute detailing sometimes even the eye can’t see. She’s THAT anal believe us you.
.
If there was one person in the world that watches O.C while sewing tartan prints on a big ass industrial sewing machine, it would be her. Nutso? We think so too; but you’ll be amazed how she pushes her limit with her keen eye and attention to details. To quote, “I rather make one kickass dress than hundreds of average ones”. Damn well said.
..
5 Random facts about Stesha Ho:
- Biggest history buff who owns a big arse shelf collection of history books and that sorta errr…boring stuff. Heh
- Stresses too much it’s crazy
- Capable of drinking 10x more the alcohol capacity than her boyfriend
- High chances of automatic doors not opening for her, she’s just that small
- Her lousy can’t do alcohol boyfriend is none other than our photography slut beyotch, Zillieman.
.
For a small, petite girl like her, we see big things coming her way, and that’s almost an understatement.
To contact her, hit her a mail at steshaho@hotmail.com
.
So what’s 2 crazee wannabe try-hard no-skilled girls doing with a fashion designer in the making you ask? Check back on the 1st of December, this Monday for the launch of our latest project!

Objective: To make cheap things look friggin HAWT! Tools: Clothes, Models, Awesome cameraman, Stylist wannabe, dingy alley, FUN . The MuffStit clan had the pleasure of collaborating with photographer friend, Fazil ‘Zillieman’ Fuad for a friggin AWESOME photoshoot couple of days ago. . .
Here’s a background check on him: Interested in photography from the day his father handed him his first digital camera and a Canon EOS 888 for his 14th, exploring the wonders of art and design eversince. Rebelious against his parent’s wishes for him to take up engineering during his teen years; the Zillieman decided his persuading skills are worth more and finally managed to convince that he’s perhaps the more artistic one in his family (Damn sure he is). Currently studying Communication Design in RMIT, Melbourne, Australia. Packs a Canon EOS 350D (70-300mm f4.5-5.6, 18-55mm f3.5-5.6, 50mm f1.8), imagination and a good cup of coffee You ought to check out his photos and the blown up pics on his site. Too damn FINE. . . We played stylist wannabe with the motive of turning cheap/reasonably priced clothes into pure gems. Results? …..pricelesssssssss…. ps: We added some ‘Live Polyvore’ shots for those who want to perve on individual pieces . .
Photographer: FazilFuad
Stylist: Sheryl Oon + Michelle Pong
Models: Andrea Hui + Graeme Ian Khalil
Clothes: Model’s & Stylist’s own
