KLFW 2014 Day 1 Highlights

Malaysia's rising superstar Silas Liew delivered a collection that toyed around the lines of sporty chic and femininity. I dig the slinky designs and the sheer garbs, which perfect to wear on the hot days we all can't get enough of. And how cool is the glammed up version of a footballer's breastplate? I'd put that top on for defense any day. 


Celebrity fashion blogger Kittie Yiyi debuted her collection on the runway on day 1, and it was nothing short of fun. It rained mainly polka dots, one pop artsy head print and primary colours. The satin-esque playsuit is what I would like to don everyday. And for no reason other than to appear like your fun aunt, can I have that bumblebee outer please?

Silhouette play with cream and navy created a collection that was easy on the eyes, even for the print on print combos involved (we should be used to it by now). I really liked that horse hair (I think) LBD, simply oozed easy day to night transition. With the minimalistic footwear trend still glowing like embers, let us take a moment to drool over the leather lace ups.


Former makeup artist Najeeb featured a nice earthy colour palette in his collection, with a muted gold appearing frequently in the opening. I adore the two-piece sets, as they play around with contemporary shapes. Oh, and I absolutely dig the cocoa asymmetrical vest. So boho chic, so versatile.


Glancing through runway photos, I was absolutely blown away by the sheer perfection (geddit geddit?) of Ghea Panggabean's collection. The Indonesian designer, no stranger to the fashion scene, brought her signature traditional prints with a new twist. The layering was done beautifully, accompanied with an array of traditional accessories. The kaftan-esque dress was a delight to look at, as are the intricate-gold-prints-beneath-black-chiffon pieces.



Thai power trio behind Sleeping Pills delivered a clean, refreshing collection. White and cool pastel colours featured heavily throughout, with sleek lines and slivers of skin peeping. It was a nice blend of sophistication with a feminist flair. Every piece would gather a resounding yes from the crowd, as they all give what most yearn for - phreshness.
