What if your favourite photograph could walk out of the album and onto your back? That's exactly what's happening at EmSphere this week, where Thai fashion label MATTER MAKERS is making memories wearable.

The brand has teamed up with Kanrapee.Chok (Kanrapee Chokpaiboon) – the photographer and artist behind cult photobook 'The Good Place' – for an immersive experience that makes you part of the lens. 

Titled Memories Matter, it takes dreamy images from the photobook and prints them onto fabric as part of the exclusive 'We Met In The Good Place' wearable collection. Now, instead of flipping through pages, you get to carry those moments around with you on your back.

But the event on March 12 is way more than just a chance to browse new threads. There's a VR zone where you can literally step inside 'The Good Place' through a 360 degree game that flips through the pages from the inside out. You can also mess about with film cameras on site and snap your own memories for free, no darkroom required.

If you're feeling spendy or simply love his work, grab two pieces from the collection and you'll score a limited edition poster featuring Kanrapee's photography for free – something you can proudly hang up at home to match your new threads the next time guests come to visit. 

The whole thing goes down at the MATTER MAKERS store on EmSphere's first floor from 5pm to 9pm, and it’s absolutely free.
