Raeann Heng, founder of sustainable fashion brand Cheeky Feys, is library@orchard's artist-in-residence from June to August 2023.

Watch Raeann turn trash into treasure, and be encouraged to achieve your own zero-waste wardrobe.
About the speaker
Raeann Heng, founder of sustainable fashion brand Cheeky Feys, has embarked on a creative journey through film-making, styling, photography, and sewing. After watching a documentary about fast fashion and the origin of clothes 3 years ago, Raeann decided to boycott fast fashion and now crafts her family's clothes through upcycling and local fabric sources. Raeann then founded Cheeky Feys as a way to make slow, hand-crafted garment pieces for children in Singapore. She strongly believes in advocating for sustainable fashion and being more conscious about the environmental impact of our everyday products.
