DATO' FARAH KHAN, HEAD HONCHO OF MELIUM GROUP, MALAYSIA'S FINEST AND BEST PURVEYOR OF COUTURE AND PRET, REVEALED HER 3 COLLECTIONS ON FRIDAY 25 NOVEMBER 2011 DURING MELIUM GALA NIGHT.
AS EXPECTED, HER 3 COLLECTIONS---FK, FARAHKHAN.COM AND HER MAIN LINE FARAH KHAN----MET WITH A RAPTUROUS RECEPTION. THEY WERE THAT AMAZINGLY WONDERFUL!
AS EXPECTED, THERE WERE ONE GUEST TOO MANY. NO, MAKE THAT 100 GUESTS TOO MANY BY THE LOOK OF IT! THIS WAS VINTAGE FARAH KHAN EVENT---EVERYONE FOUGHT FOR TICKETS JUST TO GET A SEAT ON THE THIRD OR FOURTH ROW. NEWBIES WERE PERFECTLY HAPPY TO STAND AT THE BACK ON THE TOP ROW WHICH ACTUALLY AFFORDED A GRAND, BIRD'S EYE VIEW COME TO THINK OF IT.
AS FOR THE FRONT ROW, WELL, THOSE ALLOCATED A SEAT HERE IS TESTIMONY HE OR SHE IS A SOCIAL PILLAR OF THE STRONGEST STANDING. I OF COURSE WAS GIVEN A FRONT ROW AND I EVEN TOOK A PHOTO OF MY SEAT WITH MY NAME ON IT JUST IN CASE YOU CANNOT BELIEVE THIS.
THE VIP GUEST WAS THE SENIOR PRINCESS OF PAHANG HH TENGKU PUTERI SERI LELA WANGSA PAHANG TENGKU TAN SRI HAJJAH MERIAM BINTI SULTAN HAJI AHMAD SHAH OF PAHANG. SHE WAS ACCOMPANIED BY HER HUSBAND DATO' SERI TAUFIC OZIER THE BUSINESS TYCOON FROM LEBANON WHO IS LEADER OF ONE OF LEBANESE MOST POWERFUL TRIBES.

THE LAST I SAW OF THESE TWO GORGEOUS HUNKS, THEY WERE LEAVING ESTATE AT HILTON DOUBLETREE, HAVING BEEN ENSNARED BY 2 WOMEN. SHAMELESS!
I CAN GO ON AND ON ABOUT DATO' FARAH KHAN'S COLLECTIONS BUT A PHOTO SPEAKS A THOUSAND WORDS IN EVERY LANGUAGE.
