In 2016, designer Shaleen Cheah founded her eponymous label with a vision of elegant femininity imbued with vibrant colour. Daytime chic is one of her favourite looks, but this former financial consultant and mum of three has the ability to change up her style effortlessly.

The jumpsuit is my fashion staple. It fits in perfectly with my busy lifestyle: chic uncomplicated and versatile. It takes me from day to night, casual to glam with a swift change of accessories.
