LIM KOK WING EXHIBITION.

sooooooawesome!

MALAYSIAN DESIGNER.

Kadang kadang kita terlalu obses dengan fesyen di luar negara seperti di Paris, Tokyo, dan Milan. Kita rasakan bahawa fesyen mereka lebih up-to-date dan sangat menarik. oh sekarang let me tell you guys about something that you guys perlu tahu tentang industri fesyen di Malaysia.

Malaysia tidak kurang hebatnya berbanding di negara luar. Sekarang pon kita boleh lihat ramai pereka fesyen yang berbakat di negara kita. Dan selalu juga perka fesyen di nagara ini yang memenangi pelbagai anugerah di peringkat antarabangsa.

Misalnya DATUK BERNARD CHANDRAN. saya memang kagum dengan beliau yang sememangnya hebat. dan saya berharap agar suatu hari nanti saya sendiri dapat menemui beliau dan ingin memiliki pakaian rekaannya :) oh alaaaa, tau lah itu semua tak akan terjadi kan but bialahhhh. hahaha.

Dan kini saya telah mengenali seorang pereka fesyen muda yang sangat berbakat. Beliau pernah memasuki program RUNWAY MALAYSIA. dan ya, saya amat menggemari setiap rekaannya yang sangat menarik. Beliau adalah HATTA DOLMAT.


Beliau seorang pereka fesyen yang sangat mempunyai pelbagai idea kreatif dalam pemiliha setiap fabrik. THAT'S WHY I LIKE HIM OKAYY :)

oleh yang demikian, di manakah pereka fesyen wanita? oh sudah semestinya lah saya kn kn ;p
hahaha gila perasannn! but siapa tahu kan i will have my own butic or my own label? but the worse is saya tidak tahu menjahit. ishhh =.=
SAYA TAHU MELUKIS, MELAKAR, MENGOLAH,MEWARNA,MEMIKIRKAN IDEA KREATIF. tetapi bukan bagi menjahit. dan bolehkah dengan kekurangan saya ini, saya boleh menjadi seorang pereka fesyen seperti beliau dan beliau yang saya sebutkan di atas tadi? hmmmm.


by the way, sebagai seorang warga Malaysia, saya sentiasa menyokong pereka pereka fesyen tempatan yang mempunyai bakat besar dalam bidang fesyen. Mahupun kadang kala saya juga terpikat dengan rekaan barat tetapi biasanya ia hanya sekejap sahaja saya mengatakan ia cantik. Kerana tiada keunikan asli mereka selitkan. Tetapi di Malaysia, lihat sahajalah kain songket yang kini berada di Runway antarabangsa. amat mengkagumkan! sehingga boleh mengalahkan Baby Phat Runway. erk ye ke?

so that, kita perlu menghargai pereka fesyen tempatan okayy. dan tidak perlulah membazirkan wang untuk terbang ke Paris mencari helaian baju yang mahal. Malaysia kan ada semua, so chill lah weh. :D

OUCH.

Fashion is always changing, slightly elusive, extremely seductive.

It has the power to transform an image and make a social statement.

What is fashion anyway?

Dictionary.com's definitions:

1. The prevailing style or custom, as in dress or behavior: out of fashion.
2. Something, such as a garment, that is in the current mode: a swimsuit that is the latest fashion.
3. The style characteristic of the social elite: a man of fashion.

To some, fashion is an art form. To others, it is almost a religion.

But for most people it is a method of utilizing clothing, accessories and hair to show or hide something about yourself.

You can use fashion to express yourself, to serve as an extension of your personality: goth, skater, soccer mom, professional.

Or you can use fashion to disguise your true self:a conservative in vamp clothing, a vamp in conservative clothing.

Fashion statements can be made with clothes, accessories, shoes, hair, makeup, even your cellphone.

Who decides what's in?

Designers can greatly influence what direction fashion will go in.

Miuccia Prada of Prada and Miu Miu, Marc Jacobs of Marc by Marc Jacobs, Marc Jacobs and Louis Vuitton are considered directional designers (Prada for remixing classics, Jacobs for vintage-inspired styles).

Working five or six months ahead of the season, the press attends fashion shows presenting designer collections; the media will then give editorial coverage to trends they think their readership is interested in.

Store buyers work many months in advance of the season to place orders with manufacturers for styles they think their customers will want to buy.

Celebrities and other opinion leaders (socialites and other glitterati) are usually the first to sport new looks, spurring the buying public into accepting emerging trends.

So everyone from big-name designers to celebrities may be behind influencing the direction fashion will go in.

But ultimately, it is you, the consumer, who will decide what is "in" when you choose whether or not to buy into a trend.

Where are the world's fashion centers?

New York, Paris and Milan are considered the major hubs for designers and manufacturers of fashion apparel and accessories.

London, Los Angeles, Toronto, Hong Kong, Sydney and Sao Paolo, in addition to hundreds of other smaller market areas are host to excellent designers and manufacturers.

THE STELLA .

To me, the way forward is a totally couture sequined cape with a pair of jeans or an incredible evening gown with a denim jacket, mixing luxury with non-luxury. -- Stella McCartney, Vogue

Her friends are famous. So's her dad. She sets trends with her figure-loving designs and her talent helped increase French house Chloé's revenues by as much as 500%, according to some reports.

She then went to Gucci, where she was given her own label which debuted for Spring '02.

Stella McCartney, daughter of ex-Beatle Paul McCartney, has set the fashion world on fire with her tight T-shirts, ultra hip pants and ability to make wearable clothes that actually sell at retail (albeit to rich young things with money).
