The macaroon tower was edible and not just for show. The lady made a faux pas and carried Chanel bag instead of Kenzo! Why bother to attend? Better go to Chanel boutique!

So proud to show off wrong bag at wrong function! I think Dato Faridah carried the correct Kenzo bag

I am convinced they thought they were attending a Chanel fashion show. Ida should have mentioned it was a Kenzo event and not a come as you are party.

See what I mean?

She forgot to bringa Kenzo bag so she did better and bought one. Love the paper bag which is practically a designer bag!

"This is the one for me"

Everyone was stunned to see my ex-pet croc turned into bag



Ida Datuk Lokhman, country manager of KENZO Malaysia, hosted a wildly creative and fun afternoon at her Kenzo boutique in Starhill to launch the new Kenzo perfume. Its full name is L'eauparkenzo Wild but with such a wild mouthful, everyone just calls it Wild. If I have to take a breath to pronounce the whole name of L'eauparkenzo Wild, for sure the rest of humanity will suffer great difficulties in pronouncing the name! A dozen years ago, Kenzo once wanted to call his perfume 'Peace' which of course was a fantastic name for a perfume as it denotes everything lovely, serene and joyful. Alas, research shows 'Peace' is not such a great name for a perfume or any other product linked to liquid as it sounds like 'Piss'! Imagine someone asking "What perfume are you wearing? Smells so nice." You reply "Peace' and she shouts back 'You piss off too!" In the end, it became 'Time for Peace', the best seller of 1999.

'Wild' for him is fresh, woody, spicy with coriander leaves, mint and cedar for a whirlwind of freshness. A mischievous fragrance that is spontaneous and flirty.

'Wild' for women is loaded with fruity, floral notes of tangerine and white peach fused with jasmine petals.

To me, all these descriptions mean nothing as you MUST try 'Wild' for yourself! 'Wild' women (so cute, wild women) is created by Aurelien Guichard and costs RM 185 for 50ml. 'Wild' for men (wild for men is just as enticing) is concocted by Alexandra Kosinki and also costs RM 185 so no one can say one is more precious than the other!

KENZO SPRING SUMMER 2011
A fashion show was also held inside the premises. There was fine finger food, wines and champagne so everyone was lulled into a good mood.

Pretty ladies. Love the pink drinks.

Same black colour but one is better endowed...

Both well endowed but one is still MORE endowed!

She really was keeping an eagle eye on him


As usual, Kenzo offered stylishly smart attire using innovative fibres and clever, unexpected mixes of materials like leather with jersey, chintz and hand dyed cotton, linen with denim. I particularly like the mixing of prince of wales checks with chinese printed cottons and the broad and narrow stripes that come with polka dots. The shirts come in floral prints, watercolours and micro patterns with large tiger prints and landscapes, all making for a eclectic collection that is highly wearable and desirable!

Ditto for the men's collection! They earth toned, subtle tones are accentuated with matching blazers or with contrasting ones, depending on your mood. Corporate and fashionable men will fall for this season's offerings as they are classy enough for the boardroom warrior, hip enough for the fashionista and cool enough for the 'let me be me' types!

Here you are, Ian with eyes opened!

Emcee Dato Mahathir Dato Lokhman conducting a lucky raffle. Each guest pulled out a sticker to reveal a prize, from a RM 690 t-shirt to 'Wild' perfume to perfume sample. I got a perfume sample, sigh. Luckily I forced Dato Yeoh Soo Ming to buy me a large bottle!



Kenzo has 66 fragrances!

Plus cool shades
