The yearly Triumph Spring Summer Fashion Show is probably the closest thing to the famous Victoria Secret Fashion Show in US that we could feast our eyes on and appreciate as Malaysian.

STEEPED IN SEDUCTIVE TALES OF FEMININE THEMES, TRIUMPH UNVEILS ITS LATEST

2012 SPRING SUMMER COLLECTION

17 April 2012, Kuala Lumpur – World-renowned lingerie brand Triumph, known for its shape-perfecting and innovative undergarments that addresses women’s needs and confidence, showcased its latest 2012 Spring Summer collection today at Mid Valley Megamall.

The breathtaking show illustrated Triumph’s shape-perfection, innovation, and its fervent desire for supreme quality, comfort and cutting-edge design. Propelled by a progressive consistency of passion and dedication, such commitment brings seductive power to Triumph’s lingerie collection where every piece flatters the body, lures the senses and expresses sublime fashion and body awareness.

The show featured five of Triumph’s signature collections that reaffirmed its promise of “perfection in female shape”. Exuding innate sensuality and feminine sophistication characterized by style, attention to detail and an eye for innovation, the collection cements Triumph’s dedication to creating shape-perfecting and alluring lingerie while bringing out the goddess in each and every woman.

The five collections showcased were:

1) Sexy Cushion Maximizer

Embracing the height of a woman’s tender love towards her sexy little lingerie, Sexy Cushion Maximizer kicked off the show marrying elegant romance and classy 50s sophistication with bold, loud and fresh colours. The vibrant yet stunningly detailed series featured Triumph’s renowned Cushion Maximizer, boasting its ‘intelligent memory foam’ cushion that moulds perfectly to the breast and recalls individual body contours, creating a natural yet sensuous push-up effect that’s simply perfect.

2) Eco Chic

Beautifully bold both in nature and in fashion, Eco Chic’s graceful yet fashion-forward floral elements illuminated throughout round two with visions of romantic strolls in the garden and fresh scents of flowers. Re-enforcing one of the season’s most favorable trends and one of Triumph’s best innovations – eco friendly intimate apparel, Eco chic is gentle on our skin as well as our planet and empowers women to save the earth while looking fabulously stylish.

3) Butterfly

Embodying feminine sensuality at its most sophisticated level, Triumph’s Butterfly collection revealed a bewitchingly elegant female vision that is both delicate and bold in attitude. Featuring unparalleled maximum support with firm high-side panels that minimizes side bulges, and unique angled-bones for a centralized cleavage, the Butterfly collection added an elegant and picturesque flair to the show.

4) Essence

Luxurious, elegant and seductive, Essence flaunted a class of opulent sensuality. Fueling secret desires of pure seduction through first class craftsmanship and exquisite tailoring, the collection took on a sensuous modish approach with a glamorous 40s feel featuring rich, ravishing color palettes and rich fabrics teamed with extravagant details.

With revolutionary and innovative form-fitting pieces that effortlessly transform and shape body contours, the finale round presented simplistic chic, all black styles fit for a Queen whilst addressing the different types of women body shapes – YSIOA. Shape Sensation molds and defines an hourglass figure effectively yet comfortably without compromising fashion sense for women to feel more confident with their curves.

Exquisite lingerie maker, Xixili showcased their bold, trendy and expressive collections amidst the eagerly awaiting crowds at I Utama shopping mall yesterday. The Spanish inspired women inner wear maker really have the crowds eating out of their hands. I am sure the crowd, especially the women are eager to get their hands on a set or two of their fashionable undergarments right after the show. The men though, what can I say? Some were seen glued to their seats, while others were stopped right on their tracks in whatever the were doing before the show started and with a few of them having to wipe off their nosebleeds.

Seriously, it was a great undergarments show and I am sure the usually restrained and shy Malaysian were happy and appreciative that they could be educated on the availability and the variety of undergarments on offer to them. Bravo Xixili!

House of Treats really do bring the house down with their creative & beautiful fashion.

It’s one of those fashion house that is tucked away at one corner of the shopping mall and catered to mostly repeat customers. But if you have the luck and insight to stumble into their shop, you are in for a big fashionable treat. Although a local brand, the clothes and accessories curated by them are really of high quality and are meant for beautiful and comfortable day-to-day wear. Their brochure given by them didn’t say much about what they have to offer but judging from the photos here, I am sure words and printed materials were not needed to promote their brand of fashion.

I am not even going to caption any of the remaining photos but to just let the photos do the talking. As they say, a photo speaks a thousand words. Enjoy!

What better to illustrate the theme than to orchestrate a dance performance depicting the growth and blossoming of seeds to beautiful flowers.

So do make your way to the 1 Utama Shopping Centre during the next 2 weekends and feast your eyes on the best fashion showcase money cannot buy in the whole of Kuala Lumpur.

X Pop Group: Girl Panic Performance by X Top Models: Season I – Fancy Goh

Kuala Lumpur, 16th December 2011.

When I first received the invitation via facebook, I was truly intrigued by the photo of yellow carpet going straight through a cut-out slit of a high security fencing to what looked like a creepy “X-file” complexes. There’s even a No Trespassing Warning on the fence with a very clear message: Violators will be shot; Survivors will be shot again! LOL! I presumed all the guests will be shot to death by straight shots of Martini, Vodka, Tequila or Brandy. If you are not dead yet, they would probably drown you in beer and maybe if you are very lucky, in a giant bowl of fine Champagne! Talk about happy ending – pun intended! They might even throw in a Burlesque girl just for kicks…..

After braving KL’s Friday night jam, I finally arrived at Kompleks Kenanga Wholesale City – the location of the X Secret Party. I have never even step foot here, let alone driving pass this part of town. And my first attempt really back-fired when I missed the right turn after DBP and went straight into Friday’s night traffic crawl along Jalan  Hang Tuah. It took me 30 minutes just to make a U-turn to return to Jalan Kenanga. Phew!

And when I arrived to Kenanga Wholesale City, once again I was lost and have to seek the help of the information counter to find the location of the party. It was on 14 floor and you would have to go through something like 12B in order to reach the place. It was truly an X-perience just to find the forbidden X entrance! But it was all worth it. At the reception I was greeted by so many beautiful angels as if I was queuing to be admitted into heaven! Heaven on earth as they say…..

I was truly surprised that Kenanga Wholesale City has such a huge hall with multiple side-levels for holding large scale event like the X Secret Party or any other large scale fashion event in the future. Hopefully they could live up to their billing as a true competitor to Thailand’s Platinum Fashion Mall. But one thing is for sure – their fashion event hall is really impressive.

As expected, KL famous traffic jam reared it’s ugly face and the event has to be delayed for well over one hour. By then some guests have already been shot to death by Vodka, Martini, or some other people…. Some were drowned by beer of many brand names. But have no fear. They truly volunteered to be shot and to be drowned!

It was an event to be remembered and to be cherish for life…..so I thought! Alas….. it was not to be….. When the event started proper and when we, the photographers and the bloggers tried to climb up to what looked like a photography platform, we were rudely shooed away by an overzealous technician or maybe supervisor of the video-man! What was his problem? He feared that the weight of the photographers would shake the whole platform or maybe crashed the platform with his video-man on it! What an idiot! Even if his high tech video camera does not have anti-shake video feature, the slight vibration of the standing photographers would cause minimal shake to the platform once all of us have settled in. If he is so scared of getting wobbly video, didn’t it occur to him that he should be the one to specify his requirement to the organizer in the first place when he was awarded the job? Instead of constructing a wooden platform, maybe he should specify a concrete platform with maybe gold-trimmed hand-railings? Maybe a dumbwaiter might help him to get up the platform too! He should be banished to the Siberian Tundra ASAP! Something the organizer should think about in the future.

Sorry for the blind ramblings…. but I just have to give him a piece of my mind after spending 2 days processing my photographs taken at this event.

Finally I have to congratulate the organizer for putting up such a fine party and to sizzle up the night life in Kuala Lumpur. It was truly memorable for all the right reasons and some not so right but overall, it was an event to die for in Kuala Lumpur. Hopefully it will grow to become a permanent event in KL where everyone can look forward to year after year!

Thank you, Kenji for the invite.
