Hello guys!
Recently,
I was given an opportunity to attend one of the show during the Kuala
Lumpur Fashion Week Ready To Wear (KLFWRTW) 2015. In normal days, my
experience in the world of fashion are usually limited to those times
when I watch movies or television shows that revolves around it. For
example; The Devil Wears Prada, Confessions of a Shopaholic and of
course Ugly Betty, which is one of my favourite American series ever. I
never consider myself fashionable. Maybe not a fashion terrorist (oh
gosh please no) but my wardrobe usually consist of stuffs that I
consider affordable, comfortable, not too plain yet still does not stand
out that much. In another word, just a normal plain Jane. There might
be occasions where I dolled up a bit but I bet the numbers are far less
the number of fingers I have on my hand.
Despite
my lack of personal involvement in fashion world, I do love observing
the trends. Instagram is definitely the platform where I follow not just
the highly prominent Malaysian designers but also the budding talents
in the industry. These days there are a lot of fashion designers in
Malaysia that focuses on fashion that are also suitable for Muslim girls
to wear. Apart from that, my increase in interest in this area are also
undeniably a result from following some of the Malaysian bloggers who
not just loves fashion but also really great at it; Shea Rasol and R
Nadia Sabrina (also one of the featured designers in KLFWRTW15) for
instance.
So when I received the invitation, I thought;
"Why not? I maybe don't talk in 'fashion' language but I at least get to cross off 'Attend a Fashion Show' from my life bucket list. Plus, it would be fun to observe the crowd from the night."
Thankfully, I was right. It was definitely as once in a lifetime experience for me.

Thankfully, I was right. It was definitely as once in a lifetime experience for me.
The
show that I attended featured two designers.One of them is a well known
local designer Alia Bastamam, a name that even I (a fashion noob)
recognized and the other one is a prominent Singapore designer Thomas
Wee. There are quite a few pieces that caught my eyes and I was
especially in love with Alia's design.
The
crowd that night did not fail to impress me! A lot of people came
wearing such fashionable outfit; some were breathtakingly beautiful,
some were chic and classy while some were quirky with the kind of style
you won't usually see on normal days but are definitely eye catching
during fashion season like this. I also got to see Malaysian celebrities
like the power couple Awal Ashaari and Scha, the undeniably beautiful
Fazura and a lot of other celebrities.
One
of the best part of the night was the point where I got to meet one of
the 'sifu' and style icon in the fashion scene, Zaihani. It was thanks
to Jessica (jessytheklchic.com)
whom I was with. Jess is a big fan of her so I followed her when she
went to meet the highly respected lady. We even got to listen some
advice from her about how to succeed in fashion scene. Even though it
doesn't directly apply to me, it was really great to be able to talk to
someone as famous.
The
night would definitely be something I remember for a long time. I was
not expecting to experience anything else other than to watch the show.
Instead, I also managed to meet new friends, learned a valuable lesson
and broaden my horizon by mingling with people whom I never though I'd
came across to in my life.
Would
I go again if I get invited? Maybe but I think I would definitely need a
partner that know much more about fashion then I do to be able to fully
enjoy the occasion.
Till next post, toodles~! ♥ミ
