The first featured artist in this series is Amanda, an acclaimed creator active in Hong Kong and Singapore. This collaboration began when kay me founder Junko met Amanda in Singapore. Moved by the profound sense of healing and vibrant energy in her paintings, Junko envisioned a way to bring Amanda’s art into the lives of women around the world.
“Womanhood” (包容)
A collection symbolizing Feminity, Love and Empathy
Soft shades of terracotta and blush blend together, gently easing the heart.
Free from rigid outlines, the colors merge and flow, creating a quiet yet tender presence.
In the midst of a busy life, this work offers a moment of reflection a gentle breath of comfort to the self you glimpse in the mirror.
Its graceful curves whisper of the feminine gift of embrace a presence that nurtures and holds.
This piece invites a quiet dialogue with your truest self, restoring the deep, steady peace that lies within.
“Passion” (情熱)
A collection symbolizing Energy and Passion
Within the vivid embrace of deep crimson,
soft clay tones and pure black quietly dissolve into harmony. Layered brushstrokes trace the path of emotion, where strength and tenderness resonate together, blooming beautifully with the will that dwells within.
This is not mere movement, but the lingering passion that holds both stillness and hope.
Draped in elegance and imbued with passion,
the work carries the power to propel toward growth and prosperity.
Rooted in the quietude of the earth,
yet lifted by the heat of passion, each assured step rises with unwavering grace alive within this piece.
“Inner Calm” (凪)
A collection symbolizing Flow and Calmness
Soft blues, sand-like beige, and deep earthy browns layer upon each other, spreading outward in swirling motions. Paths traced by the wind and memories left by water quietly intersect, creating a steady, unspoken rhythm.
This work was born not from controlling nature,
but from moving in harmony with its breath.
Each brushstroke carries a deep reverence for wind, water, and earth, allowing a gentle current to drift through the canvas.
It holds a kindness that embraces both what flows away and what returns, awakening the quiet nagi the inner stillness that lies dormant within the viewer’s heart.
Amanda Lim
Based in Singapore, she rekindled her passion for painting in the quiet stillness of lockdown.
Her abstract oil works capture the delicate tension between the noise of modern life and the calm found within, expressed through layered, textured brushstrokes.
Each piece is a beautiful dialogue between control and spontaneity, memory and the present resonating deeply with the soul of the viewer. Her art reaches beyond the canvas, becoming a medium for restoring inner peace,
seamlessly merging the worlds of fine art and everyday life.
The Story Behind the Project
"Fashion, to me, is a form of art that wears our emotions.
Through this collaboration, I believe art can become a living presence in our everyday lives.
Every one of my works begins with an emotion.
If wearing them can inspire someone to share a little more of their own feelings with the world, that would make me truly happy.
‘Be the Art, Be the Ambition’ these words capture the very moment when emotion takes form through art."

Behind The Project
Today, I can finally share a vision that has long been close to my heart.
Two years ago in Singapore, I encountered a painting at the clinic of a doctor a loyal kay me client. It was a piece filled with both delicacy and quiet strength, and it brought me a profound sense of healing.
The artist was a young woman named Amanda.
As we met several times, I began to think, “I want our customers to wear this feeling of healing.”
Around that time, a new team member from Zimbabwe shared words that deeply moved me:
"In my country, 99% of people cannot secure a stable job, and giving up on dreams is the norm.
I am fortunate and that’s why I want to be someone’s opportunity.”
From these moments, the idea was born to bring the power of art to those who dare to pursue their dreams.
Be the Art, Be the Ambition.
I believe these clothes have the power to change lives yours, and someone else’s.
