A MAN FIGHTING WITH A WOMAN LIVE IN FRONT OF A MESMERISED AUDIENCE AT ZOUK MAIN ROOM WAS THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE SECOND NIGHT OF 'BATTLE OF THE SEXES' AND DATO KEE HUA CHEE WAS REFEREE! WHO COULD BE A BETTER REFEREE WHO CHECKED THE SEX OF EACH CONTESTANT TO ENSURE THE MAN WAS GENUINELY MALE AND ENDOWED WITH NATURAL-BORN ORGANS AND THE WOMAN BOXER WAS BORN FEMALE AND NOT A TRANSVESTITE AS FEARED!

MBSTYLOAFF PRESENTS
“BATTLE OF THE SEXES”
THE ULTIMATE SHOWDOWN AND PRELUDE
TO A 6-DESIGNER SHOWCASE
The
Mercedes-Benz STYLO AsiaFashionFestival
2016entered its second day with a six designer fashion showcase and a playful
wrestle for supremacy between the sexes. Aptly themedBattle of the Sexes, the evening’s program began with introductions
to the “fighting concept”by Datuk Nancy Yeoh, President & CEO of STYLO International and Chairman of MBSTYLOAFF and Mark Raine, Mercedes-Benz
Vice President of Sales and Marketing.
"Tonight’s
theme – the Battle of the Sexes, is a playful take on the age-old conflicts and
interactions between men and women. Tonight we will witness whether women are
truly deserving of the term “the fairer sex” in their bid to come up tops in
battle.
The Battle of the Sexes theme then continues throughout tonight’s show
as we line up 3 menswear and 3 womenswear designers together in a showcase battleof
fashion creativity”, said Datuk Nancy Yeoh.
Irrepressible
showman extraordinaire, Dato’ Kee Hua Chee then took to the stage as referee
for a raucous but humorous 3-round MMA-styled match between the two sexes’
appointed champions.
After the dust settled and the winner proclaimed to great
cheers, the fashion show proper began with WONG’s AW 2016 collection of
monochrome streetwear, dresses and jumpsuits to kick start the six designer
showcase of both men’s and women’s wear.
This
was quickly followed by a 60s mod and military inspired collection by Jo
Disaya. Chunky accessory detailing was seen across Jo Disaya’s AW 2016
collection whilst the overall look was clean and sophisticated for the modern
woman. Next was Bon Zainal’s sharp and dapper, exclusive bespoke tailored menswear.
The fabulous showcase continued with Benua by Altimet’s casual clothing and
street wear for men with emphasis on sporty graphics, stripes and clean lines.
As
an interesting aside, the show then turned its focus on accessories with a
showcase of award-winning designer, IIliza Ho’s unorthodox ideas and uniquely
crafted shoulder bags, totes and satchels for women. The fashion showcase concluded
with Roslan Wilkinson’s handcrafted batik block print shirts and comfortable
tropical casual wear in voile cotton from his Heritage Collection.
The night drew to a close with a grand finale
withmodels, designers and their fashion muses and festival sponsors on stage followed
by the after-show party at Zouk’sImperial room.

About STYLO
Launched with
Mercedes Benz in 2007 by SPB Tuanku Nur Zahirah, the Raja Permaisuri Agung and Dato'
Jimmy Choo, STYLO was conceived as a fashion and lifestyle
fringe event in celebration of the 10th year of F1 racing in Sepang.
The first STYLO event, held in March 2008 was called the STYLO KL Fashion Festival. 5 months later, it entered Singapore with Mercedes Benz as its principal sponsor for the launch of the first ever F1 night race in Singapore and was called STYLO Singapore Fashion Festival.

Two years later
it was renamed as the Mercedes-Benz STYLO Fashion Grand Prix. Subsequently, STYLO spread its wings beyond Malaysia’s borders
with events organised in fashion partnership with Mercedes Benz in Delhi,
Mumbai, Prague and Mexico City as it celebrated the combination of speed and
fashion.
Next came Jakarta
and London in 2011.
In conjunction
with Mercedes-Benz’ 150th anniversary celebrations in 2012, Mercedes-Benz STYLO Asia Fashion Week (AFW) was born and held
its first AFW concurrently as the STYLO Fashion Grand Prix.
Malaysian
External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE) and STYLO became partners in 2013 with the Malaysia
Fashion Week. It is the country's first B2B fashion initiative; in 2015
Malaysia Fashion Week brought RM126 millions of soft exports to the country.
The MFW runs concurrently with the AFW, bringing participants from over 17
countries to Malaysia every November.
This year, the
Malaysia Formula One will no longer be held in March but in October. STYLO will be showcased as a fashion show at the
evening of the Mercedes Benz Petronas F1 party.
However, in
maintaining the tradition of having a fashion event every March since 2008, the
Mercedes BenzSTYLOAsiaFashionFestival has been created in March featuring Autumn
Winter and classic collections from top Asian designers for a B2C showcase.
These include accessories designers such as hair, make up, bags and shoes.
