Tan Sze Yoong’s granddad passed away recently. Although she’s crushed, her mind is filled with plans for her next collection.
By day, Tan Sze Yoong is a beauty trainer. After hours, she creates accessories.
“I loved my grandfather greatly,” the 27-year-old beauty trainer says. “He had always been my inspiration. He used to work as a tailor and, as a child, I would perch on his measuring able and watch him measure layers of fabric to make beautiful dresses and suits.
“Now, I want my next line to be a tribute to him and his work. I’ll use trimmings like buttons, cloth, velvets and satins, so that it’ll truly represent his soul. In a way, the pro cess of working on my accessories has been very therapeutic.”
Tan is different that way. She uses the wisdom acquired from everyday life and people, and transform them into romantic objets d’art that people can wear.
They are impossible to ignore too: demure necklaces that sway provocatively from the neck, elegant bracelets with gold-plated charms that wrap like velvet around the wrist, and even Swarovski-encrusted bookmarks, complete with dreamy names like Ivory Tears and Fluttery Wings.
Earrings from an upcoming collection at Sze Accessories.
It is immediately evident that Tan has put a lot of heart into Sze Accessories. “I scour jewellery suppliers, thrift shops and flea markets from all around the world for that special piece that I will use in the future,” she says.
Some of Tan’s more interesting efforts include her glass range, the first of its kind in Malaysia. She has employed the very same technique on a few collections. One of them is called Silhouette, a very English collection reminiscent of baroque wallpapers and traditions long gone.
“It may look simple, but it’s actually a very tedious process of tracing and gluing miniature artwork onto the surface of glass,” she says.
The result? Pendants, earrings and brooches, all embellished with pretty storybook pictures that will delight the kid in just about anyone. Only problem is that some may need a magnifying glass to see it.
No matter, because she’s done her grandfather proud. Get your fix at http://www.szeaccessories.com/.
