One of Nanz’s oldest and dearest friends is Elim Chew, President and Founder of 77th Street and champion for social entrepreneurship. Here is a rare chat between two of Singapore’s most outstanding business icons.

Q: How long have you known each other ?
Elim: More than 20 years. Since 1987. We were very young then!
Nanz: I met Elim when I first started as a professional fashion model. Elim did my hair for one of my first shoots. My hair was super short then. It was my portfolio shoot (a model’s show-book) so I took it very seriously. As a young model, I just want to do my best and be super humble to the whole crew. Elim was working out of someone’s hair salon back then.

What was your first impression of each other ?
Elim: Nanz had very short hair. She looked very cool.
Nanz: Elim was very easy to get along with. She talked to everyone and made people feel comfortable. She also wore very heavy shoes. I think they were Doc Martens…
