The Gift of Writing: #PassItOn with Montblanc for UNICEF Collection

Writing is a skill. We all had probably learn how to write since pre-school. Some learn for the purpose of education. Some even grew the passion for writing. Indeed, we have never actually stop writing our whole life. Despite living in this digital age, writing is still the form we seek to present ourselves, even if it is through our social media - like myself. The simple action of expressing emotions and thoughts through words. If you stop and think about it, writing is in f

HattaYuna: A Blooming Collaboration

I've been hearing about this collaboration for awhile now, between these two extraordinary artists, 'Crush' singer Yuna and her good friend, one of Malaysia's talented designer, Hatta Dolmat. They both love arts and fashion, and so 'Nuova Flora' was created: a floral yet edgy collection for both men and women. Few of the women pieces are readily available on FashionValet. However, we have yet to hear when the men's collection will be released. But in the meantime, let's check

Menswear Collection at KL Fashion Week RTW 2016: Day 3 - Sutrasilka

'Moroccan pattern meets traditional batik motifs' is how I'd describe Sutrasilka menswear collection presented at the KL Fashion Week RTW 2016 on Day 3. Frankly, I didn't know much about Sutrasilka till they invited me to catch their show. Looking at their Instagram - I love what I'm seeing, so I said yes! They are one of the very few, working hard to revolutionised batik for menswear. And surprisingly, the founder and creative director is in fact a lady. Good for ya! So, let

CMDI (previously known as The Comoddity) needed no introduction. Winner of last year's best menswear designer at KL Fashion Week 2015, they are one of the label I'd always lookout during fashion week. Perhaps, nature is the theme with strong presence of a stylized Bunga Terung - a tattooing symbol for the Sarawakian Iban men, representing wisdom and masculinity. Playing with textures, embroidery and prints, models came down the runway with twigs and without footwear, probably

(This is a Bi-lingual post: Untuk teks dalam Bahasa Malaysia, sila skrol ke bawah / Scroll down for text in Bahasa Malaysia) This is exciting!! It will be a historical moment for me beginning next week.

Italian #menstyle Anyone?

It's really hard to put one's finger on what it is about the way the most stylish of Italian men dress that sets them apart. They master the art of sprezzatura and these Pitti peacocks have changed the world of men's style immeasurably, with street style shots of men in Milan & Florence, looking dapper with nothing more at their disposal than great clothes and superb taste. Although the Italian style wasn't one that triggers the inspiration for me to start dressing well a fe

Retrocraft Eyewear Is Never Out of Style

Whenever the style ‘retro’ is mentioned, someone somewhere must be thinking of something that is obsolete. However, it is not the case with the contemporary Retrocraft Eyewear designs. Styles like the classic clubmasters, oversized aviators and perfect circle frames are proven to be one of the strong choice trends for 2016. From what I observed during the launch party of this new brand, the ‘Made in Italy’ eyewear is definitely high in quality, feels light weight and has flex
