LORD’s – A Spy Night to Remember

DATO KEE HUA CHEE SPIES WITH HIS LITTLE EYES...AS SOMEONE SPIES ON HIM! 

KUALA LUMPUR, 19 NOV 2015: 

Guests were greeted by an Aston Martin Rapide as LORD's launched their Autumn/Winter 2015 Spy Capsule Collection at the KL Fashion Weekend. 

The entire collection was designed around the idea of "How to Dress Like a Spy” - inspired by the recent series of spy films, such as Kingsman: The Secret Service, Hitman: Agent 47, Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, and Spectre 2015.

 DATO KEE HUA CHEE'S TENACITY GETS HIM EVERYWHERE! ESPECIALLY IN HIS BESPOKE LORD'S TAILOR PINK/BLACK BLAZER!

 THAT IS NOT HIS HANDBAG!

 HARD AT WORK

 FLASHY CHARACTER

STILL AT IT

The curated luxury collection includes some creative collaterals in guiding men how to dress like a spy for different event settings, such as to the office, to the field, to a cocktail event and etcetera. 

Customers should be pleased to note that all the bespoke clothing pieces and accessories from the collection are available to order or purchase after the show.

The most expensive item in the collection is actually the double breasted overcoat made of cashmere and wool. The other suits were all made from 100% wool but are light weight to suit the weather in Malaysia. The natural nature of the fabric and lightness makes them breathable and comfortable to wear.

One of the most unique items in the collection is actually a white shirt, made from one of the finest Italian cotton, worn by 2 of the models that has a tie collar bar. 

The eyelets that holds the tie collar bar have to hand stitched making the shirt a truly exclusive product. When worn with a tie, the tie collar bar actually lifts the tie at the knot. Some people choose not to wear with a tie as a fashion statement.

This is the first time a collection inspired by James Bond and Kingsman movies has ever been done in Asia. And it was launched with much fanfare with Dennis Lau opening the night with a spirited violin cover of "Writings on the Wall", Spectre's theme song, with a video of Dennis wearing LORD's. 

The show, which was attended by a full house of guests, then started with 2 models revving up Ducati super bikes on the runway to pave the way for the fashion show. 

Towards the middle of the fashion show, guests were then treated to the surprise performance of the night by Ning Baizura who sang a heart-rendering cover of “Writings on the Wall” for the finale with VIP guests models Nazim Othman and Amber Chia followed by appearances by Miss World Malaysia – Yvonne Lee, Miss World Malaysia – Chloe Chen and Mrs Universe 2013 – Carol Lee at the finale walk wearing iconic pieces from Zandra Rhodes’ Heritage Collection. Ning then closed the night by signing Skyfall.

Besides the star performances by Dennis Lau and Ning Baizura, the star studded night was attended by Datuk Jimmy Choo, Nazim Othman, Amber Chia, Iqram Dinzly, Wak Doyok, Dato Dale Mahadzir Lokman who was the MC, Director of Trade Commission of British High Commission – Mr Collingridge, Actor Daler Yusuf and fashion veteran Zaihani Mohd Zain.

Of course the undisputed star was Dato Kee Hua Chee since those who disputed were never seen again and you can see the writing on the wall!

KUALA LUMPUR FASHION WEEKEND 2015

The fifth annual KL Fashion Weekend 2015 (KLFWend) kicked off eight days of fashion with an array of spectacular runway shows featuring collections of top and emerging local and international designers.

KLFWend is supported by Tourism Malaysia and organised in conjunction with 1Malaysia Year-End Sale 2015 (1MYES). 

It aims to promote the Government’s initiative to make Malaysia a vibrant Duty Free shopping destination, attract new luxury and lifestyle brands and turn Malaysia into a leading retail distribution hub within the region under the Tourism NKEA Entry Point Project #1: Malaysia, Duty Free Destination (EPP#1: Duty Free Malaysia).  

What started out as a retail event first introduced in 2011, KLFWend has evolved to include designer presentations called Kuala Lumpur Alta Moda presentations and New Generation Fashion Awards. 

KL Alta Moda, which means ‘high fashion’ in Italian, aims to present a platform for the interaction between the couturiers/leading fashion designers/labels and the higher echelon of the Malaysian society while the New Generation Fashion Awards is a competition organised to identify new fashion talents who possess the potential to become innovative fashion industry players of the future. 

It is open to Certificate/Diploma and Degree graduates of leading design and fashion schools.

The theme for this year’s event revolved on local heritage textiles like batik, songket and limar. These are highlighted through the works of local designers/labels like Fatimah Chik (one of Malaysia’s most renowned batik authorities), Ruzz Gahara, Layar Sutra by Betty Banafe, Kraftangan and Karyaneka.

“We are trying to invigorate and elevate our local fashion and textile industry, especially our heritage textiles like Batik, Songket, Tenun and Limar, through partnership programmes between textile producers and designers. Our first success is the collaboration between Kraftangan Malaysia and Dame Zandra Rhodes DBE. 

"Our participants this year e.g. Fatimah Chik and Ruzz Gahara, who bring unique perspective and designs to their Batik materials are some of the best examples of how the industry can attract international and renowned designers to look at Malaysia and our local textile producers for the fabrication of their next Collection” says Dodi, Director of Tradisi Busana PR Sdn Bhd and organiser of KLFWend.

Dame Zandra Rhodes, under the KL Alta Moda category is showing a collection specially created for Kraftangan, made from Malaysian hand-painted silk. The Collection was first showcased at London Fashion Week SS16 from 18 to 22 September 2015. 

Other new and established designers/labels presenting at KLFWend under KL Alta Moda category are Gene by Eugene Lim, Eggie Azman, Farah Salleh, Lynda Rahim, Amanda Brown Couture who is presenting her last showcase in Malaysia before focusing on the International fashion scene, Suhara Jewel Art, Al Jameela (Muslimah collection) and LORD’s.

This year, under the KL Alta Moda category, KLFWend will also present Collections by Amato (from Dubai) and Ae’lkemi (from Australia). 

Amato is UAE’s first global designer brand that has earned itself an international cult following – from royalty to international celebrities including super-model Heidi Klum, singing sensations Katy Perry, Jennifer Lopez, Nicki Minaj, Shakira, Nicole Scherzinger and Amber Rose.

Ae’lkemi is a Perth based designer, whose garments are recognised for their signature seductive elegance that represents feminity. Over the years, Ae’lkemi has become synonymous with high-end fashion and has been seen on the catwalks of New York, London, Milan and Berlin Fashion weeks. 

The couturier has also become the first Australian to be inducted into the Asian Couture Federation. KL Fashion Weekend will be Ae’lkemi’s premier collection show in the region.

The New Generation Fashion Awards, scheduled for 22 November 2015, was the exclusive stage for graduate students from some of the country’s leading fashion and design schools to present their graduating Collections. 

“We are thrilled to give these students a platform to showcase their collections, an avenue for them to show-off their talent for design and fashion. We hope the experience will leave them feeling enthusiastic and inspired” said Dodi.

KLFWend also presented 2 Forums;

d Forum1: Up-Close & Personal with Dame Zandra Rhodes DBE on 16 November 2015.

d Forum 2: Limar on 20 November 2015.

Keeping to the hallmark of all KLFWend events, guests and media were entertained by classically trained tenors and sopranos, singing well-loved numbers from the famous operas and musicals at KLFWend.
