When You See Sun Khiew On The Streets, She Will Make You Look Twice.

The One Star returns along with the rise of four Malaysian anti-heroes of the youth. Each of the Converse chosen anti-heroes represents the behavior of counter-culture; impulsive, audacious and fearless, characteristics that resonate with the One Star spirit. Far from your typical social media influencers, thus they are Rated One Star, as in rated 1 out of 5 stars. The four anti-heroes come together to celebrate those that don’t care about what people think about them or rate them, they express the ethos of defying mainstream while rocking the Converse One Star resurgence in their own way.

Sun Khiew is the girl who is unapologetic of standing out as a personal individual in her bold and uncompromising approach on crazy colors scheme that complements her bold prints. In fact, separating herself from the crowd. Sun represents unique individuality which is what the Converse Rated One Star campaign stands for.

Sun stands the odd against all normality and is exhausted by what everyone is wearing. Sun is currently a fashion stylist in the commercial world for nearly a decade, working for commercial companies such as Astro and Canon. However, in the industry, she’s restricted to experiment in her expertise work but when it comes to her own personal style, she goes full frontal. Take one look at her intangible style and you can hear the screams of anti-mainstream. Every look she styles pushes the limits of her creativity in the eccentric choice of her vivid and whimsical wardrobe.

While Sun is always dressed in bold, she has a surprisingly laid-back personality despite the daring pop of colors and a whole lot of edge added to her outfits. Some may say she’s awkward, but the right term would be quirky. Fashion has always been about self- expression and Sun takes advantage of it by dressing in her accessories, multi-colored hair and her statement piercings. For Sun to shave off her eyebrows was not a fashion statement, “I’m honestly lazy to maintain my eyebrows, and I found it convenient cause it requires lesser maintenance as it fits my look quite well,” she laughs.

For someone who does not comply with society’s expectations, “People are afraid to be loud and colorful but I’m not”, she says. “I’m used to being labeled as a freak, alien and monster by haters on how I dress. Well, I’m not normal and that’s a fact.” Her resistance against stigmas and guts to experiment makes her a symbol that embodies the ‘Rated One Star’ campaign.

One of Sun’s favorite activities is actively going to massive festivals all over the world namely Wonderfruit and Laneway. Fashion plays a huge role in festival culture, many individuals share the same experimental fashion sense which is one of the reasons why she loves to participate in these festivals is cause she feels like she belongs. Sun is a nod to defying normality which is inspiring to individuality. This is why her authenticity fits the Rated One Star.

The Rated One Star campaign is in lieu of the One Star introduction by Converse Spring 2018 that takes cues from Tyler The Creator, GOLF Le FLEUR’s line. The Converse Spring 2018 collection renewed it’s icon status to release the classic One Star featuring an original Converse eye-popping bold print on a ‘hairy’ suede material. The Converse One Star 2018 collection is available at all Converse stores.
