BONIA Autumn/ Winter 2015/2016 Media Preview


[Fashion]

 
Headed over to the BONIA HQ in Kuala Lumpur on 15 May 2015 for the Autumn/ Winter 2015/ 2016 media preview. BONIA was established in 1974, and has since grown to become an international brand, creating leatherwear fashion, made from the finest quality leather from Italy and the rest of Europe.
The Autumn/Winter 2015-2016 collection was the brainchild of BONIA’s creative director, Pepe Torres – a well-known ingenious designer who showcases the characteristic of BONIA through his artistry, in different collections – the elegant, the stylish, the youthful and the modernistic. 
Pepe Torres comes with 20 years of working experience in fashion industry including the luxury brands of MANGO, Burberry, Loewe, Pronovias and Carolina Herrera. His appreciation towards European Savior-faire (style) is evident in his designs in the BONIA Autumn/Winter 2015/16 collection.
Pepe Torres aspired to be a fashion designer since his youth, and has been sketching and drawing designs during his childhood days. Following his passion, he decided further his fashion knowledge in a fine art school during year 1989 and successfully graduated as a Bachelor of Art.
Pepe Torres is currently the art director of Twelve Design Consultants, and believes that being a strong team player is the main key to a successful life. As a creative director of BONIA, Pepe Torres used his energy and passion coupled with an open mind to come up with some innovative designs – from research of trends, shapes and qualities, to the interpretation of ideas and concepts of upcoming collection.
 
 
                                            
 
“Usually, I draw my inspiration from travelling, participating in tour, reading a book or from a fashion catwalk. As a creative person, you can find your creativity anywhere.” says Pepe Torres. Pepe Torres decided to work with BONIA as he was impressed with the quality and craftsmanship of BONIA through its leather goods and apparel. “Besides, it would be interesting to learn more about Asian cultures – a cross-cultures learning process.” he added.
Pepe Torres decided to turn the upcoming BONIA collection into a contemporary collection with commercial approach – beautifully designed sellable and functional items that consist of innovative designs and splendid concept which made of finest quality materials.

bebe Fall/ Winter 2012 Fashion Show


[Fashion]
Headed over to 1 Utama Shopping Centre on 6 October for the bebe Fall/ Winter 2012 fashion show. Now I’m not really one for ladies fashion shows but I know the members of Malaysia’s Hottest Bloggers (check out our page at https://www.facebook.com/myhotbloggers) like them so I had to bite the bullet.
Now some of you are asking why I have to go… Simple really. I have to keep the dangerous crocodiles and jealous losers from harassing the girls. Not that they can’t handle themselves but it’s hard to be polite when an irritating ham sap lou, unethical competitor, or a person with bad intentions constantly harasses you. Fortunately bebe selected their crowd well and none of those were in attendance so I got to enjoy some delicious canapés while the girls enjoyed the show.

MHB’s Wilee and Chloe

Versace Fall/Winter 2016 Preview


[Fashion]

 
Andy Kho, Denise and I headed over to the Versace boutique in Pavilion Kuala Lumpur on 13 May 2016 for the exclusive preview of Versace’s Women’s pre Fall/ Winter 2016 and Fall/ Winter 2016 collections. At the boutique, we caught up with our friends Kiki, Shannel Lung, Shivonne and Fernnie who were also there for the preview.
First up was the fashion preview of the new Fall/ Winter 2016 items.
                                                                             
 
The girls of course had to try on some of the creations.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      
 
This was the most astounding one and works well indoors especially in low lighting.
 Indoors in normal lighting
 And in very low light
 Definitely a very attention grabbing piece!
 
I also took the opportunity to check out some of the other items at the boutique.
 This pair of bright pink footwear especially caught my attention

Saturday Night Fever The Musical Live in Kuala Lumpur 2015


[Musical]

Conne and I sat through a massive rain-induced traffic jam in KL citry trying to get to the first show of Saturday Night Fever The Musical live in Kuala Lumpur on 4th September 2015 at Istana Budaya. The organisers provided us with really good seats – 3rd row from the front, giving us a great view of the performance!

The opening night had local celebrities such as Dato Jalaluddin Hassan, Noor Adibah, Crystal Lee, Syafinaz Selamat, Belinda Chee and Malaysian musical star Stephanie Van Driesen grazing the event. Even the Philippine Ambassador to Malaysia; H.E. J. Eduardo Malaya was among the crowd that night.
The Opening Night of Saturday Night Fever The Musical saw lead cast Brandon Ruebandall (Tony Manero) showing his sleek-swinging signature hustle moves which had the ladies in the audience drooling.

Look out for renditions of legendary Bee Gees hits such as Night Fever, Stayin’ Alive , Jive Talkin’ , More Than A Woman and many more. A duet of How Deep Is Your Love with fellow lead cast Jenna Rubaii (Stephanie Mangano) was a really romantic and sweet ending to the show.
Saturday Night Fever tells the story of Tony Manero, a young Italian- American man with a talent for dance. The older ones in the crowd would definitely recall the performance of John Travolta in the 1977 film that inspired the musical. Tony has only one ambition: to become the disco king. When he meets Stephanie Mangano, who also dreams of a life beyond the city, they decide to train together for a dance competition and this sets in motion events that would change their lives forever.

The musical features beautifully choreographed dance moves, legendary hits of Bee Gees, and glittering lights and costume; coupled with amazing lined up of talented international casts and award winning creative team.
I found myself singing along to some of the more familiar Bee Gees hit songs and many in the crowd were as well. It was a walk down memory lane for some and a new experience for me and Conne who never watched the 1977 movie starring John Travolta. I even bumped into my friend Malanie who brought her mom to watch the musical. I guess the movie was a really big hit among my parent’s generation but as classic movies and songs transcend time I think it would be good for the younger generation to watch this musical as well as it contrasts greatly against the trash we have these days that’s called music.

 
Saturday Night Fever The Musical 2015, is brought to Malaysia by Milestone Production, and will play at Istana Budaya from 4 to 13 September 2015. Tickets are priced at RM568 (VVIP), RM398 (VIP), RM338 (CAT A), RM268 (CAT B), RM138 (CAT C) – (Ticket prices are inclusive of 6% GST but excludes RM4 ticketing fee). 
There is a promotion for Buy 4 Free 1 (weekday shows) and Buy 5 Free 1 (for weekend shows). You also stand a chance to win prizes worth up to RM100,000.00 in the Night Fever Lucky Draw. 
Opening night was almost full house so I suggest you don’t wait and quickly book your tickets at www.milestone-production.com

This concert is organised by JAG Concerts & Events which is a dynamic company specialising in event design and concert promotion, previously bringing a string of acclaimed international performers such as Diana Ross, Michael Buble, David Foster & friends, and many more to Malaysia.
JAG Concerts & Events portfolio of services range from organizing concerts and events to theme park and stage design with plans to expand its current services to include tourism related parks and events as well. The company was founded by R James Alexander Ali Simargolang back in 2009, and prior to founding JAG, R James was with Buena Vista International (Europe) where he honed his creative and management skills in the entertainment and events industry.
Here’s a little message from Brian.
 

 
Brian McKnight plays eight (8) musical instruments including the piano, guitar and even the trombone, and his musical talents has earned him a spot in contemporary music history, having released 15 albums to-date and sold well over 20 million albums worldwide. Along with 16 Grammy nominations, Brian McKnight has been the recipient of American Music Awards, Soul Train Awards, NAACP Image and Blockbuster Awards, and Billboard Songwriter of The Year.
Brian McKnight is most famous for his hit, “Back at One” on Motown Records in 1999, which sold over three million copies worldwide, although fans like me also know him for his songs “One Last Cry”, “6, 8, 12” and his romantic duet with Mariah Carey – “Whenever You Call”. In his career, McKnight has worked with famous artistes such as Quincy Jones, Justin Timberlake, Mariah Carey, Diddy, Christina Aguilera, Rascal Flatts, Nelly, Vanessa Williams, Willie Nelson and Kenny G.
 

 
A New Yorker by birth, McKnight signed his first recording deal with Mercury Records. In 1992, his self-titled album “Brian McKnight” was released followed by “I Remember You” (1995) and “Anytime” (1997). “Anytime” sold over two million copies and was nominated for a Grammy.
Be prepared for a night of ballads and love songs, and it would be a great opportunity to bring your partner along for an unforgettable experience.

The All-New Jazz Hybrid was developed from the popular Jazz line-up, which was a class of it’s own when it first emerged on the market years ago.

Designed with everyday driving and use in mind, the All-New Jazz Hybrid combines spaciousness, utility, fuel economy, low carbon emission, refinement, comfort and enhanced safety all into one very attractive package.  The car underbody for the All-New Jazz Hybrid was exclusively developed to achieve the right balance in view of the employment of the IMA system. It is billed as a car that puts the ‘fun’ back into driving.

Enhanced safety features from 6 airbags and intelligent Hill-Start Assist function add to the great value of the All-New Jazz Hybrid. The Hill-Start Assist function is a confidence-enhancing feature that helps prevent roll back when starting from a stop on a hill.
To further reflect its advanced and clean design, the All-New Jazz Hybrid comes with a glove box cooler, chrome grille with blue reflector, chrome rear garnish, rear LED lights with blue highlight, 15-inch Alloy Wheels, Multi Information Display (MID) and Charge Assist Indicator.
