Most recently, ACM under his direction has presented exhibitions and experimental showcases on contemporary fashion and photography, spotlighting Asian masters such as Russel Wong, Guo Pei and BINhouse, in partnership with Singapore's fashion community and industry. He is interested in the history of travel and the heritage of Asian port cities and is the author of The Romance of the Grand Tour - 100 Years of Travel in South East Asia, Singapore Chronicles: HERITAGE and Singapore 1819 - A Living Legacy.  This talk is generously sponsored by Royal Insignia.Key Supporter FAQ Before registering, please read the following:  1.
