Finally Back!

You'll have to forgive me for taking such a long time with this post. It's been nearly a month... no, wait, it's been a whole month, hasn't it? A lot has been going on around here - plenty of projects, movie premieres, fashion shows and the like. There is so much happening that the average fun-loving girl in her right mind would not stay at home to miss out on Cali's big events.

A friend of mine sent me photos of the Kuala Lumpur Fashion Week 2006. A country like Malaysia has a lot more to offer than you think, and though 50% of the nation's population is still held back by a united and very conservative mentality, there is a small minority that is unafraid to have leggy Malay models parade down the runway in figure-hugging or flowing outfits that show off either the decolletage, the derriere or both.

The collection that impressed me most (Zang Toi excluded) was the one by Khoon Hoi, who, I am told, was 2005's Designer of the Year. His dresses were long and floaty, very simple, and a great lot of them were made from chiffon - my all-time favorite fabric. Melinda Looi also had some very lovely designs... apparently she is currently Malaysia's most established (and most well-loved?) designer.

Maybe I should take a crash course in designing... since fashion shows pique my interest so much. It's getting so all my friends who manage to catch shows in their places of stay send me photos immediately so I can be inspired by creative genius from all over the world.

As aforementioned, I spent the past month travelling all over the state attending events and conferences to satisfy my own lack of creative juices, and interestingly enough I did not buy any clothes. Shocked, eh.

I am now working on a side-project with a friend from CCA, Emer Maslow-Jones; a little documentary that's got to do with kids. It won't be fun if you know what it's about, so I'll keep mum until the documentary's done. Exclusive screening only for students of Calarts and CCA! Stay tuned ;)


P/S : Don't like Daniel Craig. Want Pierce back.
