This momentous occasion was made extra special as 'Petang Raya' couture show was the first major event at the newly opened St Regis Kuala Lumpur which has entered history as Malaysia's first 6-star hotel! 


PETANG RAYA 2016/2017   

“Every woman is a princess in the eyes of her beholder.  My job is to make every woman feels like a royal when she wears my creations,” Bernard Chandran. 

Influenced by the insights and beauty of designing for the aristocrats and a royal clientele, Dato Bernard Chandran channeled inspiration from the joys to social expectations and confines of a royal princess in his recent tenth anniversary Petang Raya show.  

Staying true to his consistency by bringing fresh concepts and continuous updates to the traditional Malay wear the Petang Raya collection also came to a queenly height when Dato Bernard Chandran introduced several revolutionary styles of cut, contrasting colours, prints and textures, with ‘70s undertones to the overall formation.  


Breaking free from the restrictions of printed fabrics with their stereotyped usage and rigid outcomes, mixing many prints and colours in a single design was the order of the day.  The real statement was the impact to the natural contrast of the many prints, whilst retaining an overall serenity and calm that is easy on the eyes.  


This twist is exciting, literally taking the dull moments out of an outfit, yet resulting in a super refined style, staying true 

to its original inspirations.    

Apart from the interesting fabric combinations and fused colour palettes, the master of design and cut gave us a cohesive and glamourous collection that never failed to impress. 


Innovative easy silhouettes were further 

emblazoned with intricate beading, rich embellishments and eye-catching sequins whilst sophisticated cut skirts 
including one-sided back flipped and box pleated fluid trains that spread into a natural uplifting flare at the edges.  

The style here is not simply throwing everything together but rather relies heavily on the building blocks of well 

thought out designs from colours and prints to cut and texture composition.  

The transitional look that bridges 

contemporary and traditional design is considered the quintessence of Bernard Chandran and paired with a deep rooted sense of constantly ‘pushing boundaries’, he has masterfully brought a contemporary edge to his royal inspiration, one of a luxury vision of mind-blowing modern sophistication.  

Completing the looks, the runway was bedazzled in opulent jewellery by Elegance Club, known for its lavish 

gem-encrusted designs and exquisite handbags by Kabinet, a luxury multi-brand retailer.
