THE RITZY OPENING OF DEBENHAMS IN KUALA LUMPUR FOR THE THIRD AND HOPEFULLY LAST TIME WAS A SEXY-COOL AFFAIR WITH SOME OF KL'S BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE IN ATTENDANCE.
JULIEN MACDONALD WAS THE SUPERSTAR OF THE NIGHT AS HE FLEW. WIN JUST A DAY EARLIER TO ATTEND THIS OPENING SINCE BOTH HIS READY TO WEAR COLLECTIONS ARE SELLING AT DEBENHAMS.
'Star by Julien MacDonald' and 'Diamond by Julien MacDonald' are best sellers in UK and I bet they will be jumping off the shelves and racks when Debenhams opens officially to the heaving masses tomorrow.
There was another superstar who turned up late but as he happens to own Starhill Gallery where Debenhams is located and is also Debenhams' Malaysian partner, it was OK and no one minded. For the man was Tan Sri Dr Francis Yeoh, MD of YTL Group who cut short his meeting in Indonesia and flew back just to be with us.
He missed the fashion show but made it in time for the ribbon cutting ceremony so all's well that ended well. Fortunate guests were given a storewide 20% discount and many lugged cartloads of bags home as they made full use of this one-off bargain.

All ready and waiting for big boss Tan Sri Dr Francis Yeoh
At last Tan Sri Dr Francis Yeoh is here in the nick of time!
But first a lucky draw
Richard Tan won the third prize of RM 1000 voucher but his writing was so bad the emcee read it as 'Rachel Tan'. Same same la
The second prize was RM 2500 voucher for Debenhams

First they cut and then they try rejoin the banner!
Why they bothered to cut in the first place, I wonder?

Cosy chat
Intense discussion or what
Still at it
Julien MacDonald and Tan Sri Dr Francis Yeoh finally faced me

This yellow number is bright and sunshiny
The British High Commissioner seems to be in a contemplative mood
Julien MacDonald waves at me or maybe not
Omigod, Tan Sri Dr Francis Yeoh MD of YTL Group now picks on me and my spiky shirt and asks Julien MacDonald if he would design something like this to which the former Givenchy Creative Director sadly shook his head

Be a star!
'Diamond by Julien MacDonald' is for young sophisticates who are uber-cool!
See what I mean?
See what I mean again?
Taking a breather!
I love these colours!
