KLFW 2014 Day 2 Highlights

Lace, leather, sequins and chiffon; Alia Bastamam served up romance, luxe and glamour. Every piece was done tastefully, and most importantly you can actually wear them all. With attitude. And strut your shizz. I mean, a good outfit always helps with your shizz.


Tsyahmi presented a collection which collaborated with Jamboo Tie Dye (founded locally by a couple with a penchant for tie dyeing all things). I am in complete adoration of the tropical-vibe-giving green and white print. Really good workmanship. The collection featured a number of pieces with draping and layering, which I thought was done quite tastefully.


 It was all black and white for Villiam Ooi's show, where he delivered a good display on the art of the monochromatic. Villiam brought interesting elements with sheer paneling, textures and layering in the mono-coloured looks.


Sean Loh delivered a powerful collection titled Ophélie, featuring muted gold, lace and lots of silhouette play. This is one of my favourite collections of KLFW 2014, one that is bullet proof and different from what has been plated. All looks delivered are very well thought out and balanced, having paid close attention to the shapes and textures used. Very well done!


Dude and the Duchess was a sheer delight, delivering its first collection with Jonathan Liang as creative director. So as expected, there was a lot of hype in circulation and as we hoped, expectations were pretty much met. I love the asymmetry and length play involved. The pop of mint gave the fresh face element the collection needed. Speaking of which, I would love to get my hands on the half mesh half mint piece and wear the sort of lace bras everybody posts on instagram underneath it.


Amir Luqman brought so much drama to the runway. Above drool worthy lace gowns, there were abstract blues and reds and at one point bold zig zags. Unexpected pairings can give birth to beautiful things. Here is to another 10 years of glamour! (PS: How fabulous is Amir Luqman?!!)


Another one of my favourite collections, Nurita Harith delivered on the second day of KLFW 2014. The pink and blue-grey iridescent pieces are a winner! All pieces are beautifully structured and combined to create lovely outlines. Floaty capes, you have permission to get into my wardrobe anytime.
