In
ultimate fashion defiance sans rules, the invite-only Mercedes-Benz STYLO Fashion Grand Prix 2015 premiered today
to a rousing reception by KL’s A-listers at Red Carpet Avenue @ Encorp Strand Mall.
Themed Fashion
Anarchy – Rebel Revolution, it showcased a kaleidoscope of stylish
individualistic trends and insurgent installations.
Housed in a grand marquee erected
outside the mall, it had all the usual STYLO fanfare in its signature
red and black trimmings. Guests who
walked the red carpet were welcomed to a black carousel with black mannequins
that took precedence at the entrance of the venue.
The black on black look was
highlighted further with the STYLO moniker in red. Inside the marquee, an
after-party room, fashion showcase area and unique installations together with
a Fashion Exhibition greeted the guests.
Mercedes-Benz cars including the new
GLA250 MATIC themed “Crossing Over” and its new S-Class S400 L Hybrid were also
displayed inside.
The
much-awaited fashion festival, in its 8th edition this year
continues its role as an important fringe event in the run-up to the Formula One Petronas Malaysia Grand Prix.
Having been launched in Langkawi on 21st March 2015, the
Mercedes-Benz STYLO FGP 2015 will now continue at Red Carpet Avenue @ Encorp Strand Mall in Kota Damansara from 25th till 27th March
and culminate at the AMG Petronas F1
Party on 28th March at
Simfoni Lake, KLCC Park.
“Mercedes-Benz
is synonymous with style, creation and design.
Once again as in previous years, we are pleased to push the envelope in
presenting Malaysia’s best and most exciting fashion entertainment showcase in
partnership with STYLO International,” said Mr Roland Folger, President
& CEO of Mercedes-Benz Malaysia.
Reminiscent
of the “Sons of Anarchy” series, the opening night set the tone of the highly
anticipated fashion festival with a highly imaginative, non-conforming fashion presentation
in the lines of punk, goth, bikers, chains, leather, tattoos, featuring not
just classically beautiful models but muses handpicked by the line-up of
designers for the night - Joyce Wong,
Kinslager, Illiza Ho, Azlan Adrian Ariff (AAA), Tangoo, Fairuz Ramdan, Hazree
Wahid and Bon Zainal.
Each
designer crafted his or her own distinct fashion statement with personal interpretations
of Rebel Revolution; wowing the glamourous who’s who of KL’s glitterati and
high society with creative revolutionary twists and fantastical elements in
celebration of fashion evolution and artistic freedom.
The icing on the cake clearly was
witnessing local celebrities and superstars take to the runway as muses of
these designers including Altimet, Sona
One, Joe Flizzow, Reshmonu, Jehan Miskin, Datuk AC Mizal to name a few.
Apart
from this, the opening night also highlighted an outlandish and avant-garde
hair-segment in line with the theme, “Fashion Anarchy” by award-winning
celebrity stylist, Winnie Loo and her protégé, Faevien Yee of A Cut Above.
A
Cut Above was the winner of the Industry Award of the Mercedes-Benz STYLO
Fashion Awards in 2009 and has been STYLO’s Official Hair Partner since
its inception.
Another
interesting tribute this year is to automobiles, commemorating its partnership
with Mercedes-Benz in relation to its “Fashion Anarchy” theme.
From the first
age old transportation in the form of boats to bicycles, tricycles and
Mercedes-Benz cars including A250, C200, CLA45AMG, E300 BTH, SLK200, these
modes of transport will take centre stage at this year’s FGP.
At
the opening of MBSTYLOFGP 2015, the Stylo II “Shabby Chic” boat was
unveiled by Reissiger Marine, a subsidiary of STYLO International and
its maritime event partner set up to handle boat shows, maritime events and
boat trading.
The boat was launched over the weekend in sunny Langkawi together
with Mr Roland Folger, Datuk Nancy Yeoh, Datuk Jimmy Choo (Honorary Advisor to
STYLO International), Datuk Azhar Mansor (first Malaysian to sail solo around
the world), Ms Pat Liew (CEO of BritishIndia) Mr Rolv Reissiger (CEO of
Reissiger Marine(RM)) and Mr Neil Chapman (Founder of Boatshed, RM’s partner
for Boatshed Asia).
Apart
from this, the FGP showcased a classic motorbike, the first generation C70 by
Boon Siew and an original tricyle by Bridgestone. The tricycles were made
famous in the early 80s for women who wanted the freedom of movement complete
with a basket dressed up to make a fashion statement.
The presentation through
the evolution of transportation - boats, motorbikes, tricycles and cars
represents freedom of expression tying back to this year’s FGP theme, “Fashion
Anarchy”.
”Throughout
the festival, a Fashion Exhibition will be in place with the Stylo II “The
Shabby Chic” boat as its highlight.
The display of Stylo II whose interior is
dressed by Malaysian International Fashion Designer, Zang Toi, recent recipient
of MBSTYLOFGP’s Lifetime Achievement Award and reigning MBSTYLOFGP’s
Designer of the Year, Bon Zainal is to commemorate the inclusion of the maritime
lifestyle segment into Mercedes-Benz STYLO events”
“We
are excited to work with Zang, fresh from his collaboration designing jet
interiors plus we are always on the look out to do tie ups with the creative
industry. As Stylo II “Shabby Chic” is a well decked out leisure boat in STYLO’s
signature look and colours signifying the start of a new direction for MBSTYLOFGP,”
said Datuk Nancy Yeoh, President & CEO of STYLO International and Chairman
of Reissiger Marine.
Additionally,
there was an exclusive contest each night throughout the festival whereby
the best dressed fashionista in the 'Fashion Anarchy" theme stands a
chance to win “A day on board Stylo II”
with 8 friends.
They will sail on board complete with a bar installed by FGP’s
beverage partner, Glenfiddich and its nasi lemak partner, Teh Tarik Place,
serving its famous Malaysian delicacy.
Partners
