Fashion in Malaysia

2007-01-22T10:04:00.000-08:00

The baju kebaya is also one of the favourites among the traditional Malay costumes especially during the 1960s.Baju kebaya is usually made according to the wearer’s size. A person with a lean body is fit to wear the baju kebaya for public gatherings.

The baju kebaya is worn with the kain songket or batik. The kebaya (the upper part of this dress) which is usually tight-fitting and short, is nowadays worn as a loose-fitting costume and does not usually be the wearer’s size.The baju kebaya’s design is not so complicated. It only has one colour and doesn’t have as many decorations as baju kurung, that’s why it’s perfect to be worn at all times.

Baju Kurung is worn with the hemline well below the knee. The neckline is round with a vertical 6 inch slit at the front. This neckline is finished in herringbone stitching. The neckline is worn with a special single Baju Kurung button which is held in place by two loops. The baju has one patch pocket placed at the right hand side of the front panel of the baju.Below is the list of directories website in Malaysia where to find out the traditional of Malaysian fashion.

There are a number of well known fashion design schools worldwide. Possibly the most famous is Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London. Other notable schools include Parsons The New School for Design and Fashion Institute of Technology (F.I.T.)in New York City, AIU in Los Angeles, Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp, the London College of Fashion, The Laboratory Institute of Merchandising in New York City, and The Royal College of Arts in London.

Most fashion design courses last for around three years. As well as teaching students about the artistic and technical side of the subject, some courses include a year working in the fashion industry, to give students a taste of commercial fashion design. Others offer the chance to visit fashion houses abroad. At the end of their final year most students produce a collection which is then shown to buyers and prospective employers at the college show. To keep cost down, each collection consists of around three to eight outfits (the number varies from college to college). To put across a consistent and memorable look within this limited range of garments, students specialize in one particular area. Many colleges enter students for design competitions, sponsored by clothing or fabric companies. This gives students commercial experience, and provides fresh talent for the companies.

Since 19th centuries Fashion was develop and explorer.The first fashion designer who was not simply a dressmaker was Charles Frederick Worth (1826–1895). Before the former draper set up his maisonette couture (fashion house) in Paris, clothing design and creation was handled by largely anonymous seamstresses, and high fashion descended from styles worn at royal courts.Worth success was such that he was able to lead as earlier dressmakers had done. The term couturier was in fact first created in order to describe him. In Malaysia most of successful fashion designer is Bernard Chandran.He so famous with fashion society,entertainment artist and well known by Malaysian.He honed his fashion design skills in Paris and became the first Malaysian to win the 'Open European Contest for Look of the Year 2000' in 1991. In 1993, he launched his label and opened his couture house in KL Plaza, located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. His talents have earned him many faithful clients among Malaysia's elite most notably the Royal families of Brunei and Malaysia. He was voted Designer of the Year by the Malaysian International Fashion Awards in 2003.

Not contented to rest his laurels, the Malaysian fashion maestro has big ambitions, to introduce Europe to his couture. With a boutique at swanky Knightsbridge, London, it seems that the first step towards his ambition has been taken. Stocked with sumptuous gowns, gorgeous tops and luxurious skirts, Bernard's offerings are guaranteed to delight his European customers with their unique design and vivid colours.

The drama in his designs are brought out by his exemplary cut and workmanship. His suits exude an aura of competence and confidence, as it befits a modern career woman without sacrificing the femininity of his client.

Hat in style

2007-01-20T13:29:00.000-08:00

Hats are having a fashion moment and not just because it's cold and rainy outside. In all their shapes and sizes, hats are fast becoming the hottest fashion accessory, so it comes as no surprise that the likes of Sienna Miller and Lindsay Lohan the fashion-forward girls and Victoria Beckham and Britney Spears the not-so-far-behind fashion followers have been embracing the new headgear trend. Most favoured are knitted beanies and gentlemen's hats (bowlers, trilbys, fedoras and caps). They're ideal for hiding from the paparazzi's glare so they've replaced sunglasses as the new incognito-style accessory - about time really... rain on your Chanel shades is so not cool.
