“Power is neither good nor bad. It’s very
much dependent on the person who is
using it,” observes Tay. For her, the act of
making a difference begins like a seed
taking root—nothing is too insignificant;
and it’s a humbling moment that
blossoms beautifully from the inside out.
“You learn to remove the ‘I’ in every
equation,” she adds. A familiar face
within Singapore’s fashion circle, Tay has
grown the number of brands her
company represents from an initial
“three to five, to a current stable of
about 20 today.” Besides
multiplying the industry’s level
of professionalism, Tay also
operates with the conviction
that every interaction should
be a meaningful, enriching
and empowering experience.
“For every person who has
come into my life or walks
through my door, I want
them to leave becoming
a better version of
themselves,” she says.
