Anthony Tan

Anthony Tan is an accomplished figure in the fashion and arts scene. His blend of industry experience and deep commitment to educating the next generation of designers created a creative environment for both students and collaborators. With projects like Cirque Du Soleil and major Singaporean institutions (NUS, NTU, Esplanade Singapore), he brings a lot of interdisciplinary expertise to the table.

His approach to challenging traditional definitions of fashion—in terms of thinking critically about the role fashion plays in broader cultural, artistic, and performance contexts; his involvement in both commercial and theatre work has given him a unique perspective on how fashion can be used to tell stories or create emotional impact in different environments.
