combining chocolate with art, interpreting into fashion pieces is a brilliant
collaboration. It has given me great pleasure to be part of this collaboration.” quoted Dato’
Farah Khan.
Regarded as a style icon and known for creating
inspiring fashion pieces, Dato’ Farah Khan created The Pleasure Seekers Collection. The special
capsule collection inspired by MAGNUM
Ice Cream’s 5 iconic and unique flavours – the MAGNUM Gold, MAGNUM Classic,
MAGNUM Almond, MAGNUM Chocolate Brownie and MAGNUM Chocolate & Strawberry.
The one-of-a-kind collection infuses
MAGNUM Ice Cream’s decadent richness
with FARAH KHAN’S distinctive design
vision. Effortlessly glamorous, the exclusive pieces were brought to life by FARAH KHAN’s signature delicate beads and
embellishments that were hand-sewn, bead-by-bead to ensure each piece is as
beautiful as its craftsmanship.
The
collection was debuted with a grand entrance of Precious Gold, a stunning
creation inspired by MAGNUM Gold.
The dress was designed with hand-embroidered antique
gold beads in swirling light and dark hues. The exquisite detailing of the
design amplifies the attitude of MAGNUM
Gold - delightful and utterly divine.
The next FARAH KHAN piece - Luscious Chocolate & Strawberry
was inspired by the luscious flavour of the MAGNUM Chocolate & Strawberry, swirls of hand-sewn adornments
in golden brown compliments the stunning piece with a glamorous allure. The
sumptuous sparkle replicates the sheer delight of the MAGNUM indulgence.
The rich
taste of the MAGNUM Chocolate Brownie
inspired FARAH KHAN’s creative team
to invent Luxurious Chocolate Brownie, the third look which is a delicious
piece, delicately crafted and drenched with glorious matte and shiny rich brown
beads and embroidery.
The fashion
show continued with Heavenly Almond, a FARAH KHAN number that is inspired by the texture symphony of the MAGNUM Almond. Carefully hand-beaded by
artisans around South East Asia, a mixture of matte and shiny brown chocolate
beads and specks of frosted bronze embellishments adorn this inimitable piece.
For the
fifth look, FARAH KHAN wowed the
crowd with Irresistibly Classic. Inspired by the all-time-favourite MAGNUM Classic featuring shades of
opulent bronze were used by the FARAH
KHAN creative team to mirror the smooth and silky Belgian Chocolate coating
of this iconic favourite.
The
highlight of the event was the fashion show finale, where models in the 5
signature creations each made their appearance with the MAGNUM ice cream which inspires their look together with Mr Herry Budiazhari, Marketing Director of
Unilever (Malaysia) Holdings Sdn Bhd and along with Dato’ Farah Khan, Creative Director of Farah Khan.
