Theme: Dress to KILL… and they just DID IT @ Malaysia Most Glam 2009.

Amir Luqman (oh… so beautiful..) with his muse of the nite, Aleeza Kassim. They are like the Goddess of The Nite. Amir told me that the dresses is specially for Malaysia Most Glam: Dress To KILL.

You must wonder, where is Aleeza Kassim  selama ni  kan? I asked her and she told me:”I sakit  selama 5 bulan, tu la lama tak keluar mana-mana. Duduk kat hospital dan kat rumah”.  Kesian Aleeza sakit. Saya tak mau la kan sibuk-sibuk tanya dia sakit apa dan sebagainya kan. Tapi she still look great. Really great.Seronok bersembang dengan dia.

Aleeza Kassim baru lepas berlakon dengan Nasha Aziz dan menjalankan modelling academy yang diasaskan oleh beliau. Kita doakan supaya dia ni sihat selalu. (still wonder.. sakit apa Aleeza ye- tetap nak menyibuk kannnnn, depan-depan dia tak mau tanya, malu la kononnya!!)

Amir Luqman. Girls… You better work hard to be like Amir Luqman.

Always, always and always love his designs.Seperti designnya, begitulan designernya. Stylish, simple, extremely classy and so approachable. Really… minimal and simple. Brilliantly beautiful cut, and not busy beading!

Charlie Angels.. oppss… hahahahaha (Amir..saja nak tanya, when can I wear you piece?)

She is the MC of the nite. The most glamorous MC indeed.

I asked Marion what are you wearing, she said something so foreign.. and I was like what… again.. and the she spell it. oh.. I know.

I know the brand, I read about the brand and I even blog about the  designer but she pronounced it right.

Its Herve Leger!

My pronounciation (lidah melayu): Her-ve Le-ger

Marion Counter correct pronounciation : Air-vay Lay-jay

(sampai mati akan ingat macam mana nak pronounce Herve Leger  selepas diajar oleh Marion!)

Marion is wearing the infamous Harve Leger bandage like  dress in stunning bright colour!  (sorry tak sempat nak ambik details bandage on the dress!) this is how to wear bright colour dress. Tone it down with darker or soft shde shoes and accesories!

Harve Leger is so famous for its bandage dress and strong 80’s style. Even Victoria Beckham is a fan. You can buy Herve Leger at net-a porter. Yes.. they shipped to Malaysia

Chanel means luxury, expensive, high class and did I hear someone said .. it’s for aunties?

Sorry Karl, me and some of my fashionista friends think that Chanel pieces are so extravagant and top of the class but it’s too OLD for us .

(Jarang dengar/ tengok kawan-kawan pakai Chanel atau cakap nak beli baju Chanel kat Malaysia ni, kecuali that classic Chanel bag… )

But,please include our living condition the monetary factor as well why we never buy Chanel and WHY I never see Chanel at factory outlet or warehouse sale! (kadang-kadang tengok bergaya, tapi tetap jimat bila nak beli benda lain kannnnnnnnn!!)

But I THINK I CAN WEAR  Chanel! Thanks to the latest Chanel Pre Fall 2010 collection.

The big QUESTION … Where is the money? (mana nak cari duit ni kak oiii!!!…)

This time it’s Shanghai fever.

I CAN WEAR and WISH I COULD do the long winer jacket.  The slim cut perfect for my 179cm figure!

Its from my favourite fabric tweed. It can be worn over jeans and tee. (Bayangkan betapa brangannya dapat memakai jaket Chanel iteeewww, boot dia pun ok jugak!)

I AM CRAZY about the button details and the simple yet unique structure. Imagine I wearing this to red carpet event. The host will ask, “What are you wearing” and my simple is just simply “Chanel…”

I TELL YA.. I would kill to own that kind like double breasted jacket. It looks relatively  feminine at first sight, but who cares, if I am in it, it is edgy and so METROSEXUAL. (puji diri sendiri!)

MY FIRST IMPRESSION… he is wearing Chanel classic woman top. But.. this is Chanel, only rich can wear Chanel. Love the collar, love the cut, love the simple details!

MY HEART STOP. This is perfect, perfect and perfect look for me. From head to toe. I mean form head, the hair, love it.. and the jacket.. it makes my heart stop and the leather pants.. its shiny, I love and the boots.. I can wear it over, over and over again!

Quilt. Saw it on my boss bag, read about the feud between D&G and Armani but one thing for sure. nothing can beat the Chanel. I wear it. I wear it. I don’t care if you say its so women, i’ll wear it!

Adam Lippes is not a household name (not yet) but Oscar de la Renta yes! ( if you never heard of both, please go away!)

This Adam guy become the youngest Global Creative Director Oscar de La Renta. Another reason why fashionista should open their eyes to ADAM.

It starts with his infatuation to find a fuse fashion with a perfect white tee. Oprah likes it and it evolves into ADAM, the full collection for men and women!

The designs make me think of something between Calvin Klein and Armani with a bit of Oscar de la Renta touch. The fusion of the three designers that makes ADAM the forefront of  effortless brigade.  Understated strong coat with signature cut that can be worn for years. ADAM can be a great investment!

Shop for adam at shopadam.com or net-a-porter.

This season, He loves ruffles… so much . It is all about ruffles and dramatic effects at Marc Jacobs Spring 2010 RTW. From head to toe.

The models hit the runaway in extreme pale kabuki make-up. According to Marc, he wanted the models to look as if they had just finished a show and went out still wearing a bit of their costumes. Erm… Marc, I love ur creations, but if the skinny models in pale face walk to me in the middle of the nite, I run..

But nevertheless, he did it again. Everyone waiting and anticipating what is next from him and he never failed to deliver what women really want; to look fashionable no matter what!

The bags quite delicious too! It is still big bags. So, if you think your oversized bags that can carry your 9 months niece should go into e-Bay, think again. You might want to use it next year.Oh.. and they are ruffles and fringes too!

Can’t wait for this collection to hit Malaysia.I just Can’t wait. It doesn’t matter if I buy it or not, but I just can’t wait. I want to touch the ruffles when my friends toting it!

Put on the jacket, you are ready for board meeting, slip into the pants, you’re ready to hit the town. just don’t wear it at once.

Strong bohemian fringe bag!… Could it be the next Stam?

Dramatic ruffles….the flip flop (or slippers or whatever!) quite edgy.

Checked dress. Perfect for season to season.

It is back. The tiered skirt. Love it, love it, love it!

Kali ni Marc Jacobs memang melebihi jangkauan. Tak kira rambu ramba apa pun, tetap menarik. I still love his presentation. He is the master of the fashion exhiliration.

So much love. I going to sing I FEEL Love, Donna Summer version, not the Blue Man group version. No thanks.

Yellow is the choice for Catriona Ross and her handsome hubby, ASTRO producer and director, Shaharuddin Mokhtaruddin. Clad in the most glamorous traditional costume in the entire world, Cik Siti Wan Kembang, Catriona looks like she is ready to grab Best National costume in Miss Universe competition!

Their second costume is rich and demure Minangkabau. She received Emporio Armani watch, SK11 set, Cole Haan shoes, Tiffany bracelet and Marc Jacobs sunglasses as part of the hantaran. What? Marc Jacobs for getting married? Somebody, please marry me!

Another Love is courtesy of composer, Audi Mok Chuang Yew and Malaysian Idol alumni, Nikki or Nicolette Louisa Palikat. They say I do at St. Francis Xavier Church at Petaling Jaya. She is like an angel in Jovian Mandagie and she is like a…famous composer in Lord Tailor tux.  

The dress is  typeless.

Love is in form of clean white for Pahang royalty, Tengku Shahreza Tengku Abdul Aziz and Maya. Her french lace selendang is the epitome of luxury. A very beautiful baju nikah indeed!

I feel love, i feel love, i feel love, i feel love ..

Kohl’s is expected to announce Wednesday that in October, Ms. Conrad, 23, will introduce a casual California-inspired clothing line for young women in 300 Kohl’s stores and on Kohls.com. Later, Kohl’s plans to sell the exclusive brand, LC Lauren Conrad, in all of its more than 1,000 stores.

The retailer has become a favorite of analysts in part for a strategy of acquiring well-known brands (or brands by well-known people) and selling them at low prices. It is particularly effective in this economy where shopping is no longer a national pastime.

“To be important to the consumer today, you need to differentiate yourself,” Don Brennan, senior executive vice president of Kohl’s, said Monday in a telephone interview. “You need to give the customer a reason to come in and shop with you. And we feel like these exclusive brands do just that.”

It is a model that its higher scale competitor Target has used to its advantage and that Wal-Mart has struggled to master. Last year, exclusive and private brands at Kohl’s — like Simply Vera by Vera Wang; Elle, which is named for the women’s fashion magazine; and Food Network — accounted for more than 40 percent of the company’s sales. In March, when sales at most of the nation’s department stores open at least a year fell by double digits, sales at comparable Kohl’s stores fell a modest 4.3 percent.

Kohl’s executives are banking on Ms. Conrad’s celebrity — and on young women’s desire to emulate her feminine yet relaxed way of dressing, which has been chronicled for years on two MTV reality shows. Ms. Conrad has grown up on television — first as the good girl in the hit series “Laguna Beach,” about the rivalries and heartaches of privileged California teenagers, and then on “The Hills,” a spinoff that is MTV’s top-rated show.

“The Hills” picks up where “Laguna Beach” left off, following Ms. Conrad’s life as a student at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles, an intern at Teen Vogue, a single woman and a voice of reason among petty friends. Ms. Conrad’s rift with her former best friend, Heidi Montag, is one of the most talked-about pop culture rivalries since Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader.

The collaboration between Kohl’s and Ms. Conrad has been in the works for more than a year, before the economy took a nose dive. Kohl’s, however, is in a category of stores — discount and low-price chains — uniquely positioned to weather a recession. Prices in Ms. Conrad’s clothing line are $20 to $60. That may work in her favor.

“Now that the economy’s not doing so well, I think it’s everybody that’s looking for bargains,” Ms. Conrad said. “I think that it’s actually great timing.”

This is not Ms. Conrad’s first attempt at designing a clothing line — but the low prices are new. In 2007, MTV and Tangerine promotions helped finance a line by Ms. Conrad called Lauren Conrad Collection. Casual dresses sold for more than $100 — and fans and some fashion writers complained. Ms. Conrad acknowledged in a telephone interview that the clothing line “wasn’t as accessible and affordable as I wanted it to be.”

Her new line will be exclusive to Kohl’s and will have wardrobe basics like jeans and knits. Kohl’s will manufacture, produce, distribute and market the collection. And Ms. Conrad and Kohl’s will collaborate on the designs.

Her original clothing line, Lauren Conrad Collection, is being overhauled, she said. She plans to take it overseas in 2010. “I wanted to give it a whole new feel,” she said, “but that requires us to take a few seasons off.”

Ms. Conrad’s label for Kohl’s represents a new chapter for her: she has said this will be her last season on “The Hills.” Little did fans know that while she was darting in and out of nightclubs with a camera crew, she was spending her days with Kohl’s.

“I’m very excited that I’m allowed to talk about it now,” she said.

I was invited to Anugerah Bintang Popular 2008 that was held in Arena Or Stars Genting Highlands. It was a star-studded night.  Malaysian entertainment people are everywhere; this is the night to honour and to be honoured!

Big thanks to Berita Harian; especially Zainuri for the invitation.

It was also the night to show who wore the best stuff! The theme was Sentuhan Tenun.

THANKS AGAIN to BERITA HARIAN FOR MY SEAT. It was a good view for me to snap, snap and snap and to perform my own fashion review!

Myself with Jac before the show started. She is in Khairul Sufi. Love her hair, her tenun clutch and her lovely personality!

Two veterans, Dato’ Yusof Haslam and A.Galak look so casual, well at least they take an effort to put on jacket! Is that LV check messenger bag on A.Galak lap?

The stage manager I guess, he is so popular among the crowd. One of the cheering factors!

Opening act by Anita Sarawak. She is in corset, pants and that bulu-bulu. Well she is stunning! Dah berumur tetap slim dan bertenaga.

Second opening act, Stacy also in bulu-bulu! So energetic. Tape saya suka baju ni, very stage costume and she can dance in that. Very Bjork punya baju angsa!

Farah is the winner of CuteCarry biggest accessory award. Tapi walaupun ada yang kata tak ok, saya kata ok. Baju dia simple and the accessories tu compliment the minimal design. Menang dua award, Penyampai TV Popular dan Penyampai Radio Popular. Fofular akak ni!

The host, Adlin Aman Ramli in white.

The big winner, Nabil. He is in tenun scarf to compliment his edgy hair. Ada yang kata Rambut Nabil cam tak sesuai tapi pada saya apa salahnya, cuba gaya lain sekali sekala. Maybe after this, rambut dia lain pulak kan. Pada pendapat saya juga, mungkin Nabil perlu lebih bergaya glamour. Dressing dia kali ni ok jugak, tapi kan bagus kalu dia leh nampak lebih sophisticated!  He needs a touch of high fashion!

Sharifah Shahira can’t get enough of the ‘cute’ postman!

Faizal Tahir in designer Hazwani velvet military inspired jacket under a studded belt. He looks like budak sekolah. Awet muda sungguh Superman ni.

Sari Yanti GLAM in Rizman Ruzaimi dress. Love the turtle neck. One of the best dress!

The Divas and Nubhan (Vernon termasuk Diva jugak!!). Umie Aida looks fresh and sophisticated, Vernon as flamboyant as he can be, Zahida Rafik as sexy as she can be, Nubhan in white jacket and songket tenun scarf.

Myself with designer Calvin Thoo. He is like 37 and looks like 17! Antara artis yang memakai pakaiannya pada malam itu ialah Rozita Che Wan, Ayu Raudhah, Marsha.

It will not happening without all these talented designers. They are the one who is responsible for the celebrities to look either glamorous, sexy, funny, clownie or disaster! This year theme for Anugerah Bintang Popular is Songket Tenun. It is not easy! Dahling, if you think they just get a songket and transform it into baju kurung or kebaya, you are dead wrong, very very wrong (you can ask your makcik to do that!). Their job is to make songket looks extremely hot and sexy but still strong Malaysian accent. Let see who dress who:-
