Cut Outs

[Photos I captured from the recent Malaysia International Fashion Week]

Mind-blowing designs by Ashley Isham, a London-based Singaporean designer the world should look out for!

Call of Coral

With the fashion savvy crowd at Malaysia International Fashion Week day 2 wearing 90% vintage consisting of hot coral Versace blazer, white embossed skirt, lace tank top and black evening purse. The remaining 10% includes suede Betts wedges, chain harness from Sportsgirl and Mango sunnies.

The Fascination

I know I'm highly intrigued by mind-stimulating designs in general but these creative pieces by PJ College of Arts & Design and Raffles College Malaysia made me realize that apparently I'm also into things resembling futuristic warriors, cone tentacles and sharp objects. Don't worry... I don't understand myself sometimes either.

Beyond This Moment

Before, after and in between fashion shows.

With my friend Diana who's more like a sister to me. I seriously couldn't have asked for a better MIFW companion! Diana and I actually go wayyy back; I've known her since the 90s when we both used to live in Montréal, Canada. The last time I saw her was actually in 1997 (following Canada she had moved to Australia while I moved to America) and after all this time apart, we finally reunited mid this year in Malaysia! Obviously the many years away from each other with no contact whatsoever didn't falter the friendship one bit because we caught up with an excitement like no other!

Wanderlust

The Holiday Collection by Wanderlust at Malaysia International Fashion Week.

Studded bikinis? Check. Glittery capes? Check. Chunky accessories? Check. With such mind blowing design combinations, we can only anticipate endless rockin' beach adventures!

Glam Lelaki | Mens Glam

Consecutively, designs by Benson Chen (2), Joe Chia, Hyde, and Benson Chen again.

Though I'm all into fluorescent colours and bright bold patterns this season, I can't help but still be attracted to the classic black and whites at the Mens Glam showcase during MIFW. There's just a certain level of charming seduction brought to live by these seemingly quiet hues, when done right.

Look This Way

My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard.

Though milkshake in this case probably means the combination of my hot pink vintage Versace blazer, embossed mini skirt and frosty white lace tank draped with bronze chain body harness more than anything else!

Main Attraction

I had such a difficult time picking out favourite pieces from the Bernard Chandran showcase at MIFW. There were just too many lustworthy designs; hence the massive flood of images. Every single piece captured here simply speaks to me. I was deeply seduced by the combination of innovative cuts and brilliant layerings, fluidity in the fabric movement and incorporation of luminous elements in a clever enough way to be captivating without being excessive.

Colours and Flow

Consecutively: designs by Fizi Woo, Afiq Mohamed, Merlee Shariff, Edwin Ao, Farliz, Raymond Goh & Afiq Mohamed again.

Selective pieces that stood out to me the most during the Autumn in Kuala Lumpur Daylight parade. Don't ask me why but the ease in flow and vibrance in colour remind me about the way I always try to treat my life -- like one whole big vacation, filled with moment seizing, carefree adventures and indescribable joy! Simply speaking, the ideas conveyed through these designs can't help but make me purely happy.
