Dempsey Dress or Hill - A story for Jasper Living

If you ever came across with a Singapore Guide, visit Singapore or are thinking about it,  you will most likely find a few top destination recommendations: Orchard Road, Sentosa Island, Marina Bay and maybe at the end of the list you will see Dempsey Hill.

However in my 7 years living there, Dempsey Hill was my most visited area, Sundays brunches, kids educational extra curricular activities and even antique shopping were all at the heart of Dempsey Hill. It is a place of lush greenery and loads of expats living a dream life. No wonder Louise named her staple best seller, the DEMPSEY DRESS.

100 soft cotton, Keffiyeh pattern dress, this dress is truly dreamy.

One of the enchanted things about this production was finding a suitable location. I always write about Jasper Living being my connection to a place so deep ingrained in my soul so I found a Chinese site and it all came full circle, a danish designer who creates a a modern dress with Arab routes and me the Latin blogger... I know I wrote this before, but if that is not a cosmopolitan lifestyle what is it then.

For me at the heart of Jasper Living is the fact that this dresses are wearable in most places, being Tokio or Berlin, if you are international you can feel drawn to this styles.

The Dempsey comes in two colours and I wanted the black one because I felt I was going to wear it in Ibiza as well, and Oh boy I did. It was a perfect Ibiza day time dress, I mostly wore it with my Birkentock and my beach bag and I was always good to go.

For this city look though I added some heel and frill and not much else as I feel it is already a lot going on with the pattern.

To be completely honest, it is my favorite dress so far and my Jasper Living Collection is quite wonderful, I would love to have it in many colors and lengths as it is a kind of empowering print. Also the cotton is delish, you need to have it!

Thank you for reading as always and have a look at the promotions from time to time there is a free delivery, so have a look at

Last very important fact, 30 degrees wash, no tune dry, on a hanger for dry. Those instructions will keep your Jasper Living pieces in perfect conditions so you can wear them time after time.

Have a wonderful rest of the week,

Claudia

The Singapore Connection - An interview with Louise Jasper

WERBUNG.

The is not the first time I have the pleasure to interview a designer but it is the first time I am actually uploading a Blogpost that is in essence an Interview.

If you follow my for a while in Instagram you know that I collaborate with Louise to be exactly for already 1 year. As I am proofing for errors I found this...

This was my first Jasper Living Outfit, I can remember very well that moment. It was the first dress I got for my new Insta page and I had to shoot it well, so I searched for a nice Berlin modern building and we did the Shoot.

I still love this pic and the dress has that emotional connection to a moment. It won´t go anywhere. That dress will be around in my Wardrobe until my girls steal it from me.

1 QUESTION

You are a mom, a businnes owner, an expat and I am sure there is so much more... tell me something about you what we don't see in Instagram…

I am Danish but living in Singapore for almost 9 years now.   Married to Kristian for over 12 years,  we have two children, Mie is 10 years old - and Konrad is 7 years - both at the German European School in Singapore.  

So I am dedicated “Soccer Mom” ( laugh 🤪 ), following my son to soccer practice 2- 3 times a week and matches on Sundays, he is playing for Borussia Moenchenglabach Academic Singapore. I love chatting with the other football parents, we are a mix of Europeans and Singaporeans. I even met my husband on the football field watching our favourite Danish team playing in 1994, so football is and have always been a big passion.

2 QUESTION

Your clothing are very important to my Wardrobe, they give me comfort and print which is something very much needed in winter times. I can do almost anything... I am curious about your inspiration to create your line and where does your love for print comes from?      

THANK YOU ️.   I love to get inspiration from the streets when traveling - especially Copenhagen and Tokyo are two of my favorite inspiration sources. I have a lot of stylish friends, who all inspires me as well. I am buying way too many fashion magazines, but I love them and I will cut out pictures of prints, styles - and ideas - and make big collages in my office.   Isabel Marant is my favourite designer, I love the way she mix and style a feminine flower print skirt with a sweatshirt and small boots or sneakers.     I have a very good supplier in India who inspires me with beautiful and colourful prints - and the good thing is, that we are using leftover fabrics from bigger orders from other customers.   So that’s a really good feeling.  So each styles we produce are in limited edition.

3 QUESTION

Have you ever been to South America?  

NO, but would love to go.  I lived one year in Houston, Texas - but we never went south of the boarder.   My daughter Mie and I have a dream of going together, but that will be one day when she is older and we are based in Europe.

And Germany?

YES, many times .      I growth up in Denmark, in Jutland - only 3 hours drive from the German Boarder.

4 QUESTION

What's the most beautiful thing about being a designer? Any bad side of it?

I love to see customers trying on my dresses - and feel good and smile! The “bad" is that you have to creative the whole time, the customers expect you to come with something new and beautiful, that can be a little stressful sometimes.    It is also annoying if you have some styles that just not sell a lot - and that happens.

5 QUESTION

Tell us your favorite pieces or trends for summer 2019

One of My favorite outfit this summer ( now I live in the summer all year, but I missing the Autumn/Winter outfit a lot ) is the the MINI Frill Skirt I have made in a lot of different prints - I will mix it with a T-shirt with a funny slogan on or a denim shirt.  I will wear small gold sneakers or flat sandals.   I will also live in one of the long printed maxi dresses - and wear a denim or leather jacket for the cold summer nights in Denmark.

Well I say thank you Louise for doing this interview with me, you miss Denmark and I miss Argentina. You are a soccer mom and I am a tennis mom. You wear sneakers and me too actually specially with your clothing, I just prefer the pictures with a little bit of a heel..if you know what I mean...anyways my point is, what do we have in common?

I can tell you one thing, Singapore.

I feel your clothing have connected me with the vibe of Singapore and I truly need this living in long winters. I know many women in Germany need those comfort summery inspired styles too.

So if you are among those women who long for summer breezy days get to Louise´s page and have a look at the new styles, by the way I really want that new green print...

I have to wait until the next Blogpost I hope...

Again thank you to the readers,

Loads of good feelings to you,

Claudia
