Limkokwing Fashion
closes the curtains on KLCC fashion week in style
The Limkokwing University’s Fashion and Lifestyle Design Academy took centre stage and closed what proved to be KLCC’s fashion event of
the year with style, creativity and innovation.
It was truly an amazing spectacle
that featured over 90 fhemes ranging from Heritages of
the East and West, Evening Gowns, 50’s to Military collection put together by
the talented student designers in a show entitled “Creativity in Motion”.
Donning these beautiful designs were their own talents aka students from over 15 countries.
The audience was particularly impressed
with the way the show was conducted with different choreographies of each collection.
According to Shiva Ruppeni and DJ Putra of Limkokwing University Radio, “We
were truly impressed with the show and our favorite part was the Military
collection as well as the Fifties”. The whole show was choreographed and styled
by Diana Petrechova from Slovakia and the Fashion Design faculty of Limkokwing
University. All of the garments are designed and created by the Limkokwing
University Fashion and Retail Design, including the dress worn by Maya Talpur,
the emcee.
For the first time ever, alumni
designers were invited to showcase their collections during the “Creativity in
Motion”. Limkokwing University proudly present couture collections by Nthiran
Krishnan and bridal collections of Rico Rinaldi, two rising young designers in
Malaysia fashion world as part of the Creativity in Motion show.
“It’s important for people to see the
influence of fashion in all aspects of society. What is the best place to show
it other than KLCC” said Dato’ Tiffanee Lim, Associate Vice President of
Limkokwing University. “The clothes are made by diploma
students and the quality is very good. It’s a testament of how far creativity
can take you and show the competency as well as what people can do”.
When asked about the involvement of
alumni designers, she said "It is a good a platform for them to exhibit
their creations and inspires other young student designers that despite being students
they can go far away producing world class creations. Fashion is a phenomenon
and by adding the Asian cultures into the fashion world, we are proud with our
alumni and students"
The crowd was
highly entertained and grooved with the amazing talents from the
Limkokwing Sound and Music Academy. Jonah from Zimbabwe, Zya from Indonesia,
Suraya from Malaysia and Saadan from Pakistan all graced the stage with their
takes on songs from popular artists. Lucas from Slovakia brought the crowd to their feet with his hip-hop dancing. Hosted by a
quartet of emcees, Maya from Pakistan, Amri from Egypt, Virgil from Mexico and
Jonah, the event was nothing short but memorable. The show was graced by Honorable
Senator Thuli Msane, Senator, House of Senate, Kingdom of Swaziland.
This much celebrated collaboration
with KLCC is of huge significance as for the first time ever, KLCC has
invited an educational institution and a brand that is not part of its
establishment to be part of its annual showcase and giving the university
perfect prominence and the honor to bring to close the 2012 KLCC fashion week. Sponsoring
the show was Revlon for make up and Nose for the shoes worn by the models.
