In 2011, Gin and her husband Tamir, started GINLEE Studio with the aim of “making fashion that matters”. As designers from two different disciplines, and with two different backgrounds — Gin’s a Singaporean while Tamir is from Israel — the duo have shuttled between Singapore and Israel, where GINLEE Studio was founded, before settling down in Singapore because of the pandemic in 2020.
