Last month, emerging Singapore photographer Joseph Koh aka Badsoju launched his debut book Damnsel, which documents young women here with an individualistic, punk-spirited sense of style, to much fanfare at the Singapore Art Book Fair. This month, he reveals his first fashion editorial as commissioned by FEMALE: a showcase of Spring Summer 2023’s Florence Welch-ian looks – long, languid, vintage-tinged and unapologetically high on drama – shot in his favourite environment, the streets of Singapore.
