NOSE IS THAT LONG AND SOMETIMES CROOKED APPENDAGE ON YOUR FACE.

Will Quah the emcee extraordinary, Sue aka Mrs NOSE and Gillian Hung

'NOSE' IS ALSO MALAYSIA'S MOST SUCCESSFUL SHOES TOGETHER WITH LEWRE SHOES AND LARRY SHOES.

SO IT WAS WITH GREAT EXCITEMENT I ATTENDED THE SPRING SUMMER SHOE COLLECTION AT MID VALLEY RECENTLY AND CAME HOME THOROUGHLY IMPRESSED NOT ONLY WITH NOSES' SHOES BUT ALSO THEIR HANDBAGS WHICH ARE GIVING INTERNATIONAL BRANDS A RUN FOR THEIR MONEY.

I was also bowled flat on my face over the presentation using plastic sheets over the models in bikinis and I bet many red blooded men standing at the back had hard-ons which could not be seen as they were surrounded by the heavy crowd.

BRIGHT HUES AND WHO’S WHO

AT NOSE SPRING SUMMER 2012 FASHION SHOW

Nose celebrated their Spring Summer 2012 collection with fashionable flair on Monday, 16^th April 2012 in conjunction with Mid Valley Megamall’s Fashion Week. The star-studded event was attended by celebrities Elaine Daly, Carmen Soo, Bernie Chan, Andrea Fonseka, Kimberley Leggett, Pamela Chong, Vanessa Chong, Amber Chia, Angel Chui Ling and Chermaine Poo. Will Quah was the dashing host of the evening, entertaining the guests with his wit and humour. Bringing together fabulous fashionistas and a colour-filled collection, the event was filled with excitement, glamour and fun.

The fashion presentation was introduced by the Urban Chic collection, dazzling the crowd surrounding the runway as well as onlookers from the upper levels. Edgy, minimalist styles were infused with summer colours on peep-toe platform pumps and casual chic ballerina flats. Handbags of complimentary tones and textures accessorized the models that exuded city chic.

A special performance by Mizz Nina surprised the audience in between the fashion show, as she and her dancers rocked the runway with crowd favourites “What You Waiting For?” and “Takeover”. The guests were dancing while onlookers clapped and sang along to the energetic performance. The fashion show continued after Mizz Nina’s performance with the Safari collection, where models dressed as summer glamazons marched down the runway in animal-print shoes clutching handbags with safari motifs.

The final collection, Juicy Spring, wowed the crowd when the models emerged in white bikinis styled with PVC jackets adorned by colourful handbags and shoes. Chunky-heeled pumps and platform wedges were injected with bright shades of aqua, fuchsia and tangerine, adding a pop of colour. As the 18 models paraded down the runway in Nose’s Spring Summer 2012 Collection a huge round of applause echoed through the Mid Valley Megamall Centre Court, marking a successful reception of the season’s items.

After the fashion presentation, Will Quah announced the next segment of the evening – the Q&A and lucky draw. The winner of the Q&A was awarded with RM500 worth of products from Shu Uemura, and the lucky draw winner received a RM1000 voucher from Nose. The guests continued to mingle and left with door gifts from Nose.
