Mercedes-Benz STYLO Fashion Grand Prix 2015 launches in legendary Langkawi
Reissiger Marine in partnership with Boatshed Asia unveils first of its kind multifunctional concept boat, Stylo II “The Shabby Chic” in conjunction with the launch

The country’s leading event organiser, STYLO International, together with its partner and title presenter luxury automaker, Mercedes-Benz, renowned for organising the annual Mercedes-Benz STYLO Fashion Grand Prix (MBSTYLOFGP), a key support event of the Malaysian Formula One Grand Prix has evolved to undertake maritime within its lifestyle segment. 

STYLO International proudly introduced the setting up of STYLO’s maritime subsidiary, Reissiger Marine (RM) to handle boat shows, maritime events and boat trading at an exclusive media-only event in Langkawi today.

I was invited to the launch in Langkawi by STYLO International and its partner Mercedes-Benz together with other sponsors including Reissiger Marine and Boatshed Asia, The Datai Langkawi (an exclusive destination resort),Telaga Harbour, TLNW Trading (private beverage supplier), British India (top Malaysian fashion brand) and A Cut Above Group of Salons (official hairstylist).

On arrival, we were treated to a sneak preview of Reissiger Marine’s newest boat, Stylo I, a rescue airboat designed exclusively for the Malaysian landscape. We were given privileged insights to Stylo I which will be only officially launched on a larger scale in May this year with a host of partners and sponsors.

Another exciting announcement was made during the intimate sneak preview, whereby RM’s new foray into maritime has been given the exclusive rights to run Boatshed Asia. RM has been tasked to bring maritime to Asia in a joint venture with Boatshed, the world's largest yacht brokerage, based in the UK with a presence in over 50 territories around the world.

Neil Chapman, founder of Boatshed who was present at the launch said,” This is an exciting partnership as Asia is currently the place to be for maritime. The maritime scene especially in Malaysia is thriving and has a lot of growth potential in the fast growing East Asia marine market. 

"We are enthusiastic about our partnership with Reissiger Marine to welcome Boatshed Asia, which will definitely please many within the maritime fraternity here.”

I was whisked to a private nature walk tour by The Datai’s resident naturalist, Irshad Morabak, who led the media into the lush Langkawi jungle surrounding the resort. A self-taught naturalist and outdoor buff, Irshad also educates school kids and trains outdoor instructors on nature and conservation. 

As part of his job and passion, he trailblazers forest paths and takes part in scientific expeditions.

The launch of MBSTYLOFGP 2015 was held at Telaga Harbour, known popularly as the playground for boat aficionados, later in the evening. At the event, Dato’ Nancy Yeoh, President and CEO of STYLO International was joined by President and CEO of Mercedes Benz Malaysia, Mr. Roland Folger and other sponsors. Also present was Datuk Jimmy Choo, world renowned shoe couturier and Honorary Advisory to STYLO International.

Here, Reissiger Marine rolled out its multifunctional concept boat, Stylo II “The Shabby Chic” by the pier in grand style. Stylo II is the first of its kind in Malaysia and plays the main role at this year’s MBSTYLOFGP2015. In its 8th edition, this fashion festival is reshaping fashion and inciting a revolution with its A/W 2015 collection themed “Fashion Anarchy" running from 25th to 28th March 2015 in Kuala Lumpur. 

Reissiger Marine’s Stylo II “The Shabby Chic” will be the highlight of a Fashion Exhibition, one of the many exciting activities surrounding the upcoming STYLO FGP in KL later in the week.
Nicknamed “the Shabby Chic,” the Stylo II boat was designed and finished to reflect this year’s STYLO theme of “Fashion Anarchy”. 

It was truly a decadent experience of how narrow spaces were transformed into multifunctional sections without sacrificing style and comfort. The media were given a full tour of the lower and upper decks whilst taking in the breathtaking sunset on the horizons of the Andaman Sea.

According to Rolv Reissiger, CEO of Reissiger Marine, "This lifestyle concept boat, Stylo II “The Shabby Chic” is refurbished from scratch to reflect the "Fashion Anarchy" theme. It is built for the young who understand that being relevant is all about being communicative. 

"As such, the theme "Fashion Anarchy" is not just about being a non-conformist or a rebel in fashion but its about the freedom of oneself through the exchange of information and staying connected, hence the state of the art electronics like TV and iPod panels that is fitted into the boat.”

He added, “The boat has been also fitted with a custom made DJ deck on its upper deck just for the upcoming fashion festival.”

Stylo II “The Shabby Chic” is not just about its technical capacities but one that flaunts exclusive designs completely made, assembled and designed in Malaysia. To achieve the finer details, RM also teamed up with other lifestyle partners to create a comprehensive leisure boat. One of its collaborations was with top notch Malaysian designers to design and fit its interiors with the best showpieces, which proved to be a successful fashion and maritime partnership.

Datuk Nancy Yeoh, President & CEO of STYLO International and Chairman of Reissiger Marine says, "A lot of thought has been put into creating the interior of Stylo II in trademark STYLO style, which is lush, over the top ‘shabby chic’, in line with the fashion anarchy theme, complete in its signature colours of black and red.”

She added, “We are happy to announce the inclusion of two top designers on board Stylo II “The Shabby Chic”, which are Zang Toi, Malaysian international designer, who was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award in conjunction with the 25th anniversary of his fashion label, House of Toi at our press conference last week, and Bon Zainal, our first menswear designer to win the coveted Designer of the Year last year. 

"Both were kind enough to dress the boat in their signature fabrics and designs, plus some pieces in Zang’s famous emblem paying tribute to the well-dressed men at our parties as men and boats are synonymous."
