malaysian fashion don’t really interest me, until the recent Stylo KL Fashion Festival

somehow, i’ve always felt that Malaysian models weren’t as beautiful as their Milan, Paris, New York fashion show counterparts

besides, i don’t really like the designs showcased by some of our homegrown designers

now, it seems like my perception towards Malaysian designers have changed, not 100% but probably 55%

of all the designs in the fest, i love Melinda Looi’s haute couture the most which was featured on the opening show of this fest

OMG ! i really love haute couture pieces

French lace and tuille makes me love haute couture even more…..

it isn’t only the fashion that entices me, it’s also the make up by Shu Uemura and L’Oreal Professionel

honestly, i don’t really like Edric Ong’s designs on the show because i think his designs are too Malaysian

anyways, it did truly reflect Malaysian culture

on March 21st, the fest ended with the Mercedes- Benz Stylo Fashion Awards ( same with Stylo Star of The Year Award??) being shared by Rizalman and Micheal Ong
