The socialite, who is oftentimes seen at balls and fundraisers such as those organised past the Singapore Red Cross, SPCA and the Breast Cancer Foundation, is famous for her jaw-dropping drove of more than than 100 headpieces, which includes a stunning carmine ophidian hat and a charming piece named Octopus, fabricated past famed milliner Tatiana Henderson-Stewart.
Some of her hats are crafted by Kristine Hakim, one of simply a scattering of established milliners in Singapore.
Jeffs often works with Hakim to create 1-of-a-kind designs, and even brings some of her vintage hats for her to restore. Hakim, who trained in Paris under French fashion designer and grand couturier Dominique Sirop, started a career in millinery because she couldn't find what she wanted in the market, then she decided to make them herself. The cocky-confessed costume lover adores set designs "in particular the stuff, or way from '40s and '50s".
Of Jeffs she said: "She is stylish, with a style that nobody else has, and she too has an air virtually her [such] that she is able to go around wearing the most ridiculous chapeau but she still looks astonishing. Information technology's her conviction that really impresses people."
Growing upwards, Jeffs was greatly inspired by her sister Kim Lim, once a top model, and her grandmother, the late Queeny Chang, author of Memories of a Nonya. She said: "I [would look at] my older sister's dressing; and my grandmother, who was Dutch-educated – I e'er remember seeing her with a big orchid." They were her style icons, she says.
Hakim added: "I remember her mode is very eclectic, she has [the] spirit of old glamour – Hollywood glamour – and she carries that very well".
