Fashion, like any form of art, has the power to influence society in many ways. It can instil or challenge opinions, express any concept or experience, and is bound only by the imagination of its creator. It can also be a vehicle for social change and it is in this spirit that designer Amilani Perera embarked on her latest bold and empowering collection titled Unbreakable, which is in partnership with the United Nations Population Fund in Sri Lanka (UNFPA) – the United Nation’s sexual and reproductive health agency that is working on sexual and gender-based violence.

The Straits Times: School is a draw for ex-convict with teacher's support
It took several stints in prison for Rahman Sanip to discover his artistic talent and thanks to the support of Dr S Chandrasekaran, LASALLE’s Head of the McNally School of Fine Arts, as well as the Yellow Ribbon Project, he is now pursuing a Diploma in Fine Arts education. The former drug addict is grateful for the second chance in life and is looking forward to a career as an art teacher or display artist.
