GUESS Summer 2016 Women’s Collection


[Fashion]

This summer, GUESS introduces an advertising campaign that captures GUESS Models, Emma Stern, Mia Kang, Tina Lozovskaia, Olga Caro, Paul Roemer, and Christian Hogue turning up the heat in sunny Malibu wearing the most sought after ready-to-wear and accessories of the season.
The campaign, directed by Paul Marciano, Chief Creative Officer for GUESS?, Inc., and shot by  renowned fashion photographer, Rayan Ayash, features the GUESS models photographed in a series of images shot against a breathtaking beach landscape.  Strong rays of sunshine beautifully reflect off the GUESS Girls tousled hair and flawless bronzed skin, allowing the natural sunlight to accentuate their striking beauty.
 
                        
 
GUESS also launched their Summer 2016 Women’s Collection which is dominated by light-weight silhouettes including dresses, rompers, button-down tops, tanks and cut-off denim shorts.  Overalls with gold button-front detailing, dresses with semi-sheer crochet construction, maxis with breezy side-slits and shirts with flared sleeves and exposed shoulders are at the forefront of this season’s collection.
The collection also offers a handful of refined staple pieces including crisp button-downs, seersucker and maxi shirt dresses as well as fitted denim pencil skirts.  Matching two-piece black and white stencil floral camisoles and skirts lend a fashion-forward approach to your summer wardrobe.  In true GUESS fashion, denim makes a strong return this season in the form of flares, skinnies, jumpsuits, tops and overalls in several fits, washes and fabrics with touches of embroidered florals and heavy distressing.
The women’s handbag assortment offers a full range of styles in various shapes and sizes that effortlessly accessorize any summer look.  Ultra-mini cross body bags with edgy gold studding and satchels with soft gray python prints mixed with brilliant whites are trend-driven designs tailored to please any style-savvy GUESS Girl.  Structured faux-leather carryalls in sumptuous cognac and forest green shades as well as classic oversized totes with the GUESS logo are more casual, on-the-go styles.

Honda Malaysia’s Media Night 140111


Honda Malaysia threw a media appreciation night at the rooftop bar of G Tower which saw a night of good performances, good food, loads of alcohol and 40 lucky draw prizes including 15 iPads, 5 PS3s, 5 iPods and 5 digital cameras for the less than 200 members of the media present.
Honda Malaysia could certainly afford to be so generous as they achieved record-breaking sales with over 44,000 units sold in 2010. With the global economy rebounding and things looking up slightly in the country, Honda Malaysia has an even bigger target for 2011 – 48,000 units which is roughly 8% of the projected total industry volume.
In case you were wondering, the bestselling Honda model in 2010 was the Honda City (19,946 units) which accounted for almost 45% of total unit sales! Coming in second is the Honda Civic with the Honda Accord closely trailing it.
In addition to the positive sales, Honda Malaysia was also ranke No. 1 in the 2010 Customer Service Index Study by J.D. Power and Associates which is a study of 10 automotive  brands in Malaysia.
For 2011, Honda Malaysia aims to do its part for the environment to ensure “blue sky for future children” with the launch of its Honda Insight and various CSR programmes including the Honda Dreams Fund for underprivileged children and the save the Sumatran Rhino programme.
The Insight is an entry-level hybrid model which has received more than 1,300 confirmed bookings since it’s launch at the KL International Motor Show 2010 back in December 2010. In fact the price-point and fuel consumption advantage of this car is so attractive that I’m actually considering buying one sometime soon. Check out my photos of the Insight from my KLIMS 2010 album.
In the meantime, enjoy the eye candy…
Honda is one of the few brands in Malaysia that really appreciates the contribution of the media to their business. Thanks Honda Malaysia!
What a lovely welcome party! Definitely worth going through the crazy Friday evening KL traffic.
Host and MC for the evening Jojo Struys with my media friends.
There was a bar serving molecular food which was really bursting with flavours!
Some creations even had alcohol infused in it! Awesome!
 
After that I decided to head over to join Malaysia’s Hottest Bloggers Chantelle Chuah, Katherine Ng, Michelle Lee and Chammaine at Euphoria for the FHM Girl Next Door 2011 Finale Party.

The next morning Jin the Drama Queen decided to wake me up early to get me to accompany her to Malaya Optical to pick out a pair of sunnies and for nasi lemak at Village Park.
Jin Drama Queen with her new sunnies that will keep her looking cool in Australia.
Don't be fooled by the presentation, the nasi lemak at Village Park is to die for!

Fans of Boyzone are in for a treat this June as the band makes its way to Kuala Lumpur for their “Thank You and Goodnight Farewell Tour” concert which will be held on 14 June 2019 at Malawati Stadium, Shah Alam.
Former boy band Westlife member and songwriter Brian McFadden will be the special guest performer in the show. McFadden started his singing career as member of Westlife, which was formed in 1998 and released the debut studio album “Westlife” in 1999. He left Westlife in 2004 to begin his solo career and released the single “Real to Me,” a track in his debut solo album “Irish Son.”

Boyzone’s Duffy, Michael Graham, Ronan Keating and Shane Lynch will be performing some of their greatest hits including “When You Say Nothing At All,” “No Matter What” and “Love Me For A Reason.”
“When we started out as five young Dublin Northsiders, eager to face the world, we never imagined that we’d still have an army of fans some twenty-five years later… If you’d seen our famous first TV appearance on ‘The Late Late Show,’ you’d probably be surprised too!” said the band, according the tour website.
“We’ve played stadiums and arenas all over the world, released six albums, and had almost two-dozen hits. We really can’t put into words just how much you, the fans, have supported us along the way. Without that support, we would have never achieved what we have, and for that we’re eternally grateful,” they added.

The first show was the Miss Selfridge show (which you can read about here – https://timchew.net/2014/04/13/mid-valley-fashion-week-2014-miss-selfridge/) while the second one was the Jaspal show on 18 April 2014.

H&M’s Modern Essentials Selected by David Beckham


[Fashion News]
                                                                             
 
Legendary former Manchester United and Real Madrid footballer and style icon David Beckham shot his latest H&M campaign for the launch of the spring 2016 Modern Essentials selected by David Beckham collection. The campaign is the latest for the Modern Essentials selected by David Beckham range. Each season sees David select his favourite pieces from the Modern Essentials menswear collection at H&M, creating a wardrobe of updated staples and new classics that men can rely on throughout the whole season.
The commercial was shot on the streets of Lisbon, where David realises that everyone wants to dress just like him. Here’s a look at the ad.
 

 
It’s the second time David has worked with director Fredrik Bond, taking on the theme of their last commercial where comedian Kevin Hart dressed exactly like David. The film will be accompanied by a print campaign shot by Mario Sorrenti.
The campaign highlights David’s role as a style leader to millions of men around the world. For David, it’s about mixing the traditions of menswear with fresh ideas that move menswear forward. The pieces he wears in the film, all selected by David from the Modern Essentials collection, are the perfect example of his timeless style.
“I always have the best time shooting H&M campaigns. They really understand my style and my sense of humour. It was great to wear such sharp pieces from the Modern Essentials range while having such a good time,” says David Beckham.
The new Modern Essentials selected by David Beckham collection will be available in two drops – February 18 and March 10 – in all H&M stores that carry menswear, as well as online.

H&M Malaysia’s VIP Launch Party


[Events]
I really hate going down to KL during rush hours as I dislike sitting in the jam. However now and then comes along an event that I just can’t refuse. Yesterday evening (20 September 2012) was one of those times and I excitedly headed down to Lot 10 Shopping Centre for the H&M VIP launch party which saw it open its doors to more than one thousand of Kuala Lumpur’s hottest celebrities, personalities and members of the media for the exclusive pre-launch party of its first full concept store in Malaysia.
Guests were invited to shop (with a 20% discount storewide nonetheless!) in the brand spanking new 36,000 square feet store and we were treated to free-flowing champagne and delectable canapés. It was actually the first time that I’ve eaten and drank bubbly in a store as most stores usually do not allow it.
Most of the stuff was from H&M’s latest collections from the Autumn Winter 2012 range – which is described as ‘key looks for women showcase sleek and sculptural silhouettes matched with bold shapes and confident decoration while men can expect sharp-suited 60s silhouettes where layering, texture and colours bring tailoring traditions right into the 21st century’. Coupled with affordable prizes and guests were like little kids in a candy store!
The main external doorway which faces Sungei Wang Plaza
FINALLY H&M is in Malaysia!!!
The store was packed to the brim!
My dates for the night were none other than MHB’s Esther Ng, Naomi Tham, Jane Low and Povy Teng (not in the pic)
What’s a party without good music and this was provided by DJ duo Goldfish and Blink
Spotted some celebs there. Here’s the gorgeous Patricia K with her friend
8TV Quickie’s Megan Tan
Finally managed to make my way up to the men’s section which is on the 2nd floor. Then it was time for me to shop!
There was quite a large range for men. Ranging from basic Ts which were going as low as RM19.90 (yes imagine that!) to jeans to casual wear to office wear and even footwear, underwear and accessories! Yes I think this is my new fav place to shop! Woo hoo!

After buying my stuff I made my way back to the ground floor to meet up with my MHB girls and bumped into popular blogger Chuckei who posed for this pic. I think she’s really pretty!
Joyce and Serena C with a friend
Bumped into my ex-colleague Cyan
Finally managed to pry Naomi, Povy and Joyce away from the store
Met hot model Jenvine on the way back

Hermes Hermèsistible Pop Up Store at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur


[Luxury Fashion]

 
MHB’s Stephanie Lim, Mei Sze, Andy Kho and I together with socialite Denise Ang headed over to the Hermes Hermèsistible Pop Up Store at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur on 26 September 2016 for an exclusive cocktail for media and VIP guests. “Hermèsistible” is a term coined by Hermes to describe the irresistible side of Hermès, which has its jewellery and accessories from the Autumn-Winter 2016 collection, currently available on their e-commerce site.
Hermèsistible is an illustrated dictionary of moods, encompassing “COMPLICLARITY”, “HYPERSTITION”, “BIJOURMANDISE” – a few more terms coined by the brand to describe their new collection.
 
COMPLICLARITY
n. (com-plea-cla-re-tea)
A capacity for adding complexity in the search for a well-ordered life
 
HYPERSTITION
n. (hi-per-sti-tion)
Being spellbound to the point of indecision
 
BIJOURMANDISE
n. (bee – jour-mand-ease)
Insatiable appetite for the perfect fashion jewellery
 
Jewellery and accessories set the tone for the sketches in this ’emotionary’. Everyday life takes on new meaning in these short stories made up of photographs, films or gifs – a modern day cartoon strip to share and relate to. 
Enamel, leather, wood, the stuff of new dreams, in the form of bracelets, necklaces, and earrings, take centre-stage in a collection of short, funny, quirky and quasi-cinematographic stories.
 
 
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             
 
The new collection of Hermes’ fashion accessories can be viewed at its pop-up store from 27 September 2016 to 9 October 2016, 10.00am to 9:30pm at Fashion Avenue, Level 3, Pavilion Kuala Lumpur.

Super GT 2011


[Special Event]
Went to the Super GT today as I finally managed to get my paws on a media pass. Amazingly this was my first ever visit to the Super GT (previously known as the Japan GT).
Enjoy the pics!
Caught the very nice and hot Moon Young at the mall area
Met up with 8TV's Julie Woon in the media centre
The very sweet GT Princess Wengli was in the media centre too!
Then down to the track to catch the sexy Japanese GT Queens!
It was organised chaos as photographers jostled to get the best position to shoot the girls
While trying to get the girls' attention...
Needless to say more attention was given to the girls than the cars. Here's where my friend Jon will disagree. Well to each his own...
Definitely an exciting day. Next mission - Formula One!
