Malaysia’s Fashion Blog and Online Shopping Directory
I was walking around Hartamas Shopping Center on a lazy friday afternoon and found a quint little shop located at a corner with some pretty awesome clothes. The shop is called Eve and according to the shop owner, Nicole, Eve designs her own clothes. Little did I know, Eve Yong has been around for quite some time now and has outlets all over Kuala Lumpur and Malaysia. Her 2008 Collections presents much geometrical designs and florals.
Dresses are pretty and affordable too. From RM100 onwards, you can get Maxi Dresses, Tube Dresses and much more. Besides her 2008 collection, the shop too sells other clothings like shoes, shorts and other accessories that would complete a whole look. They have sizes S, M and L. Clothes at Eve are really feminine but with a certain edge that will make you unique:) Eve has been known for being “the meastro of feminine fashion”.
Eve The name stands for ultra feminine design, yet with unmistakably modern approach. Initiated by Miss Eve Yong in the year 1983, Eve - a brand which understand every woman’s desire, came into being. After years of acquiring the exquisite art of dressmaking skills from a master Shanghainese tailor and later in Paris School of Fashion Design, Eve Yong is ready to set out and make her dream comes true. Unlike most designers, EVE understand that elegance is about refusal, yet without losing an ounce of creativity. The charms of the EVE’s talent lies on her knowledge of a woman’s body and “the cut” with carefully placed details. Eve collection suggest intelligence and grace, usually executed in modern flattering materials.
Tubes, florals, blocks, are what’s new at Eve

Cheongsams by by Dressbybonnie
Hi, I need some recommendation to buy a good qipao/ cheong sam in KL for my wedding day. Thank you. Cheers =)
Yen Wijaya
There are many shops in KL with ready made cheong sams, but i guess you would want something more special for your wedding!:) Contact one of the Malaysian designers who will probably help you design one for you. Malaysian Designers are really very talented and they usually are affordable!
Taditional Wedding Cheongsam by Dressbybonnie
We wrote about this topic a few months back! Read all about it here:
Below, I’ve summarized the places where you can find cheongsams/qipao in KL. (more…)
Everyone’ s going green and I don’t mean with envy but rather about saving the environment because if we all don’t start playing our part , there won’t be much of this green planet left. These days , recycling awareness from shopping bags to soda cans is ever increasing and people now realize that one of the most important things is to recycle and reduce or stop the usage of plastic bottles, plastic bags, styrofoam cups and containers (when “ta- pau” ot take -away).
I am a newbie at this green thing, I mean I grew up with plastic bags and styrofoam cups , so convenient as if my bag isn’t heavy enough with my two makeup pouches , wallet, keys, notebook (very important for business) , hand phone (akin to my whole life ,cannot live without) and oh, loads of coins , what now I must carry extra cotton bag and bring own cup and maybe saucer too.
But more and more, I am beginning to realize that if I love myself and don’t want to roast from the thinning ozone layers and drown from the melting icebergs , that is if I don’t expire first from getting poisoned after years of eating and drinking off styrofoam cups and containers, then I better start playing my small part. And as the famous Buddhist monk said on his death bed…”if only I saw the wisdom of changing myself first , I might have eventually influenced the people around me to change from my example and then perhaps I would have changed the world…”.
Well I ain’t no monk, but I do believe , everything starts from one, one intention, one small action and it always starts with one’s self first…
Lucky for me, a lot of people think like I do ( so less work on my part ,phew! just need to get more people to think alike …). Two very talented ladies have started showcasing some of their very creative conservation artworks, Miss Lisa Foo( architect and designer of EMMA House, pls look forward to our interview with her next week) and Miss Su Sim (landscape designer), I first saw some of their works at the Art Fair at The Annexe, you mite have read my article or not (shame on you, if you didn’t :-)) and I was mighty impressed , so I bought one of the table lamps featured and I am so thrilled by it….yea! I also bought a wood block covered with a page about wheels from an early encyclopedia (it’s old , it’s old), these two blocks connected by 2 hinges each has a word on it -”rot ” and “ate” but together they “rotate”, cool or what! The wood block is by Fabian Tan (another architect) .
Anyways, click on this link to see it all http://lfss-create.blogspot.com/

You know, I can’t exactly remember the first time , I heard the word, “stylo -mylo”…it must be during the late seventies , the days of Saturday Night Fever, guys with long sideburns and hala-hala pants and platforms started appearing on the streets of Malaysia, even the kampung that I lived in. A spruced up guy with slicked back Brylcreem-ed hair , days before hair gel and wet look..gets admiring sometimes sarky comments like , “wah you so stylo-ah!” And the most recent heard version of stylo , would be the STYLO fashion show organied by PR Queen Nancy Yeoh with some of her good friends and counterparts like Pat Liew of British India and Farah Khan. She featured selected few high end local designers like Rizalman, Bernard Chandran and some others. It was clarified that this Stylo event , was really meant for the “stylish”of Malaysian society (read high society and private parties) rather than to promote Malaysian fashion although there were fashion shows performed in a red tent outside Pavillion Shopping Centre. So once again local designers and the industry have been sidelined for some rich elite’s personal pleasure and an event that could have help set the stage to leap to a different level of playing field for some more designers did not materialise. So instead mega sponsorships were garnered and all for what, for some fancy hoity toity party for bored rich people looking for some more entertainment.
But back to what I really want to say is, when I first heard the word style , I really took the word quite literally to mean personal expression of one’s identity and that could mean anything that one wears where it matters less that one looks slim in an outfit but more that one feels fully liberated in self expression in the outfit and having fun. However, imagine my consternation at 18, all ready to take on the world when I came out to the big city and found out that the “stylish and best dressed” in Malaysian society and the rest of the world is a term usually reserved for those decked in designer togs with the latest IT bag something or other. And so I have ever since been informally the anti-thesis of well/best dressed ever since.
But there is hope yet, for style or being stylo , is not accorded to every designer heeled or clothed. Well dressed most may be but a fashion icon or real style isn’t for the faint hearted and takes a certain individuality and gumption to stand out and dare be counted.
And I am sure most of you have heard of Anna Piaggi , the very eccentric Italian Vogue editor who attends fashion shows in what might be termed by the unannointed as weird and bordering on lunacy. Wonder how the Fashion Police of our local “STAR ” newspaper would describe her outfits? Then there is the late Isabella Blow , who discovered Philip Treacy, the hat designer and Alexander McQueen. She was once British Vogue fashion editor, who usually made a statement with the hats that she wore. These two women and others , dare to be different and they know fashion, in fact Anna Piaggi still dictates the world’s fashion trends, but to them fashion isn’t just about wearing designer clothes , but the attire that they don actually tells a story to them. These are ladies who dare and stood out like Coco Chanel and Katherine Hepburn ( who wore man’s pants way before pants became fashionable for women) , but more practical stylish and chic ladies who make statements these days would probably be Vanessa Seward (designer of Azzaro) , Daphne Guinness or Mary Kate Olsen whom we can relate to.
Every detail from the hairclip right down to the thongs, makes up the recipe and produces the final “outfit”. It reminded me of a scene from “Sex and the City” when SJP aka Carrie Bradshaw lost her Manolo Blahniks at a friend’s housewarming party and her devastation wasn’t just because they were Manolo’s but because , that pair of shoes were part of a concocted outfit that complemented and completed the “outfit” without which it just wasn’t the same , even if replaced by another pair of Manolos…get it? So Fashion Police wotsay?….�

These pictures say a thousand words…platforms aren’t what they used to be, “skyhigh” was how some Spring Summer Fashion shoes were termed as must haves! Fashion designers are getting bolder and aspiring higher it would seem and so shall such fashionistas be borne!
Apparently the super high platforms that have been hitting the runways, have been taken to new levels and was reported as the rage in Japan (see Platforms 1-7 pix) and then the more wearable designer pieces like Lacroix and Alessandro della laqua.Though it seems more than a tad painful to one’s imagination for the new take, there are those who would brave such ‘torment’ to their feet just to make a fashion statement. What height some fashionistas would take to to serve womenkind…. (more…)
