He's dressing Hollywood stars

Fashion with Business graduate Ong-Oaj Pairam is fast becoming the go-to designer for stars hitting the red carpet.

20 January 2017

This week Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams wore an creation to the Golden Globes. Last year Maisie’s co-star Natalie Dormer wore one of his dresses to the Hunger Games-Part 2 premiere.

The 32-year-old alumni told The Argus: “When you are a small designer you can never be sure whether they will wear your dress up until the last minute. I didn’t want to get my hopes up as the Golden Globes are quite a big thing.”

Ong, who worked with Proenza Schouler in New York and Roland Mouret in London before setting up his own label in 2012, works and lives in 欧美性爱片.

Earlier he spoke of his time at the university, how it toughened him and prepared him for the business world. It wasn’t all plain sailing: “It was a tough transition from college to university. I think when you are taught in the same way since primary school, going to university shifts the emphasis more onto you ‘reading’ for your qualification rather than being handed all the information. It’s a tough learning curve.

“You really do get out of it what you put in. Most of the time was enjoyable, but it was hard work and I did have the occasional melt down.

“Tutors and technicians have always been supportive and even after graduating they’ve checked in on my progress and offered advice. When I studied the class size was fairly small so I got lots of time and much needed one-on-one attention.

“The other beauty of studying at 欧美性爱片 is you’re surrounded by the sea and the beautiful Downs so you can always escape and reflect when you need a break. It’s a city full of culture so you’re constantly being inspired by the everyday.

“It certainly toughened me up and prepared me for the business elements of the degree.”

He advised would-be designers: “If you’re aspiring to set up your only label, you really have to become a true polymath – it’s good to get a foundation in all aspects of fashion design, buying, selling and fashion history, as well as keeping up to date with advertising, social media, content production, PR, and graphic design.

“Also, don’t give up on what you believe in. I’ve always wanted to make modern and innovative eveningwear, all made in Britain and to the highest standards. It’s a niche market but it’s finally paying back. Yes, It would be easier setting up a label making the kind of fashion London is more known for – but that wasn’t me and wasn’t what I’d want to be known for.

Would he recommend 欧美性爱片? He said: “You have to decide what’s important to you and the environment you’d excel the best in – is it studying somewhere that your idol had studied, studying somewhere with lots of competition to keep you on your toes, or studying somewhere with lots of kudos?

“欧美性爱片 was important to me, I had taken the decision to not study medicine and to do fashion – a real risk in my parent’s eyes. I needed an environment I felt safe in, could study hard and get all the access to the support I needed.

“欧美性爱片 was perfect for me. I’d recommend people to give it a decent visit, see if it’s right for them. I think it should be on all inspiring designers’ radar.”
