In conjunon with its 24^th year anniversary last Friday, the Malaysian Official Designer’s Association (MODA) celebrated innovation with Samsung Malaysia Electronics for the third year in a row. Together, both brands sought to offer a platform to young designers and distinguished local designers who will showcase their creations.

This year, MODA introduced 10 up-and-coming young designers, alongside 35 designers who are no strangers to the fashion industry in Malaysia. They had the pleasure to flaunt their designs on a gold runway, which is 175 feet in length. Samsung GALAXY S5 ambassadors, Awal Ashaari and Liyana Jasmay, made special appearances at the fashion showcase in appreciation of the local fashion industry.

“This is yet another astonishing year for us, as we have in total 45 talented designers who will join forces to do something meaningful for the fashion and beauty industry. We are grateful for the support we have received from many corporate citizens, Samsung being one of them. They are the cornerstones to our quest, as we seek to unearth shining stars that we hope will catapult Malaysia to fame one day,” said Gillian Hung, President of MODA.

Nigel Chia and his team of make-up artist and hairstylist took home the Samsung Innovation Collection Award for their creative creations inspired by the GALAXY S5. Meanwhile, Hariharan Arasu and his make-up and hairstyling team also won the Samsung Innovation Collection Award for their exceptional Samsung Gear 2 outfits and styling. To end the night, Ava Abdollahi bagged the title of Samsung Outstanding Designer Award, which yielded her a unit of the GALAXY S5. She was chosen based on the most creative use of fabric on an innovative and futuristic design.

Elaine Soh, Head of Corporate Marketing, Samsung Malaysia Electronics added: “At Samsung, we understand the importance of creativity and innovation. Our GALAXY S5 and Gear 2 underwent stringent research and development, both in terms of technology and design, before the final products are revealed for our consumers’ enjoyment. As such, we understand the importance to continue nurturing young talents, who will one day show us newer and better technology and innovation.”

ZALORA, destinasi fesyen atas talian terulung di Asia memperkenalkan hasil kerjasamanya dengan salah seorang pereka fesyen terhangat Malaysia, Syomir Izwa, dengan suatu koleksi eksklusif yang diilhamkan daripada gerakan Art Deco, yang hangat di Eropah pada zaman 1920-an hingga 1930-an dahulu. Syomir Izwa for ZALORA boleh didapati di www.zalora.com.my mulai 30 Mei dan memberi peluang kepada fashionista di seluruh Malaysia dan Brunei untuk memiliki rekaan Syomir Izwa.

Konsep koleksi ini diilhamkan oleh rekaan seni bina zaman 20-an dan 30-an yang popular di seluruh Eropah dan Amerika Syarikat bergelar gerakan Art Deco. Syomir Izwa mendapat ilham daripada perincian geometri gerakan ini yang ditonjolkannya dalam koleksi Hari Raya beliau yang terkini. Menggabungkan unsur-unsur vintaj daripada gerakan Art Deco ini dengan seni baju kurung tradisional, Syomir telah menyulamkan dua faktor ini untuk melahirkan rupa bergaya yang jitu bagi wanita moden.

Bersama dengan ciri-ciri lazim baju kurung, Syomir Izwa mengenakan sentuhan Eropah kepada rekaan-rekaannya. Koleksi tersebut juga menampilkan warna hitam putih yang klasik, dengan rona-rona mirip makarun seperti jingga kesumba, biru firus, biru, kuning, lime, serta perang dan juga nude. Kesegaran rekaan dikekalkan dengan merangkumkan lisu-lisu samar dan perincian blok warna untuk melahirkan ilusi Art Deco.

Sebahagian besar koleksi ini diperbuat daripada kapas buluh organik. Keselesaan dan kesejukan bahan tersebut membolehkan pemakainya merasa sejuk dan selesa semasa musim perayaan yang panas. Koleksi tersebut  terdiri daripada set mini kurung, set baju kurung serta dress labuh.

“Gandingan kerjasama ini adalah hasil usaha berterusan ZALORA untuk membawakan fesyen terbaik kepada pelanggannya.” kata Giulio Xiloyannis, Pengarah Urusan ZALORA. “Kolaborasi ini akan memungkinkan fashionista memiliki ciptaan Syomir Izwa dan mengenali lebih dekat akan perihal tokoh yang telah mencipta busana buat barisan wanita tercantik Malaysia, seperti Yuna, Marion Caunter, Vanidah Imran dan Aishah Sinclair”.

Koleksi ini akan diperagakan ketika pertunjukan fesyen Syomir Izwa x ZALORA bertempat di Hotel Ritz Carlton, menampilkan 15 daripada barisan koleksi pereka ini pada 29 Mei 2014.

KakaoTalk adalah penaja dan rakan kongsi eksklusif bagi koleksi ini. Gandingan kerjasama ini adalah pertama kali seumpamanya di Malaysia – dengan informasi fesyen menerusi platform KakaoTalk sebelum dan semasa pertunjukan fesyen, berkongsi glitz dan glamor di pentas peragaan serta di balik tabir pertunjukan dengan seluruh pengguna KakaoTalk.
