TOP 3 FASHION DESIGNERS FROM THE ASIA FASHION EXCHANGE 2012.

TOP 3 FASHION DESIGNERS FROM THE ASIA FASHION EXCHANGE 2012.


Finally, the biggest and most awaited fashion event of the year has finally returned. It has been 3rd year since Asia Fashion Exchange was held in Singapore. I was lucky to be invited to one fashion show of Audi Fashion Festival, one of the main four activities during the festival last year. It was superb. 

This year, Audi Fashion Festival comes back bigger and stronger. There will be many fashion shows, collections from many different fashion designers from Australia, France, New York, Berlin and Singapore. There'll also be the return of the big names like Tiffany & Co, my favorite brand Swarovski and international home-grown label RAOUL (I can't express how much love i have for each collection of Raoul). Looking at the event calendar this year, I feel so excited already. 

You can check it out the official event calendar HERE if you want to know more. 

And among all these awesome events, I personally look forward to attend the shows of three top designers at AFF this year. They are: 

1. French designer Thierry Mugler 
2. American designer Zac Posen. 
3. French designer Roland Mouret

The three are the big names in fashion industry and they are my HUGE inspiration and motivation. 
Easily, you can reckon Thierry Mugler from the his popular perfumes and fragrance line but you might not know that Thierry Mugler was actually the first designer to create his virtual fashion show on the computer so that it can be seen online in 1998. He started making the first outfit when he was at the age of 14. That's pretty amazing. 

On Wednesday 16th May, it will be the opening show of Mugler Autumn/ Winter 2012 with his Creative Director, Nicola Formichetti who is well-known for Lady Gaga's wardrobe stylist. Believe it or not, all the super popular music videos of Lady Gaga that you've seen i.e Bad Romance, Telephone, Born This Way, etc...Nicola Formichetti was the one who did styling for all of them. With that said, the coming show of the duo is gonna be explosive. 

Oh, and have you ever seen Mugler's collection yet? I managed to get some photos highlight his A/W 2012 during Paris Fashion Week.

Absolutely love these pieces. They are so strong structure, elegant and mysterious. I can't wait to see more during the Fashion Festival. 

Mugler A/W 2012 with Creative Director, Nicola Formichetti opening show will be on Wednesday 16th May at 7pm at Tent@Orchard. 

Another favorite designer of mine is Zac Posen. I was quite shocked when I first knew that Zac Posen was born in 1980. I was like "OMG! He is so  young and yet so successful already". He was born with fashion talent in his blood and his interest in fashion started since he was a child. That explains why.

When I first saw Posen's collection, I felt in love immediately. I love his ruffled fishtail mermaid gowns, the sweeping strapless dresses, the bias- cut cocktail dress and many more. Those are always my favorite styles. Posen's collection is also received lot of love and attention from many famous celebrities.

Gwyneth Paltrow and her favorite Zac Posen gown from his Spring collection at Oscars 2007. 




Last but not least, Beyonce in deep green Zac Posen resort gown. 

That's good enough to prove Zac Posen's collection in this coming May will be a worth waiting for show in Audi Fashion Festival and this is also his very first show in Asia. I'm sure he is gonna get so much love from Asian fashion addicts. His show - Zac Posen Pre-Fall 2012 & F/W 2012 with Designer, Zac Posen will be on Saturday 19th May at 8pm at Tent@Orchard. 

The third fashion designer whose show I'm very excited about also comes from France: Roland Moret that is. He is best known for his iconic hourglass creation. He also created the legendary Moon dress made famous by Victoria Beckham.


Roland's signature Galaxy dress which costs £ 1209.00


Other celebrities seem to be big fan of Roland Mouret Galaxy Dress too. 

Some of his designs which I'm absolutely in love with


Roland Mouret fold details dress short capped sleeves, pleating at the front and a full length central back zip fastening. Sweet, simple and magical. 

Roland Mouret's structured dress with wide shoulder straps, a v-back and a zip fastening at the back. Super elegant and classy

One of Roland's annabelle ruffle dress. It's such a cute design. It features a structured neckline, fitted waist and very adorable ruffle detail along skirt hem.  


Caught Katy Perry in this dress. Looks like the dress is made just for her. 


Beyonce loves Roland Mouret dress too. 

There are, of course, many other talented designers will be joining this festival to showcase their dedication, hardwork and talent. All you need to do is to LIKE these pages to get the latest updates from them Audi Fashion Festival, Asia Fashion Exchange

{AFF}: FRANCIS CHEONG COUTURE

{AFF}: FRANCIS CHEONG COUTURE


Last week, I  was invited by Omy.sg and Marie France Bodyline to attend Audi Fashion Festival in Orchard, It was such a memorable event after all, I had a great time watching Francis Cheong's collection and hanging out with some other young, cute and lovely bloggers. My God, I feel so old standing among of them. -_-

So, that was my first time attending fashion show and lucky enough, all the designs that Francis made are what I'm totally in love with: Spring/ Summer couture. At least I didn't feel bored during the show. Thank to Omy.sg and Marie France Bodyline for the invitation :)

Beautiful thing comes from a small envelope :) That's my invitation card for me. 

We reached there at 9pm but the event wasn't started, I and few bloggers have chance to do camwhoring shoots. Girls can never stop camwhoring, anytime, anywhere. :D


Isabella, Tsuriki and I

Check out this chic, *weewee :D 
Can't stop myself from posing with the backdrop

and one more...Sorry lor, it's one year event thing, so I gotta terror the camera abit, hehehe


Ok, these two are hotter than the chic above I guess. The beautiful Audi displayed at the main entrance, love the car

getting inside.
Everyone was busy looking for their seats and settling down before the show started while I was busy snapping the photos, lolz. 

I haven't heard or noticed much about Francis Cheong until I attended his fashion show and I must say this was really impressive and it hit my interest. There were so many designs shown, but generally I most prefer those dresses below:

Gorgeous chiffon blue with white deco. Simple yet sophisticated! 

Long and flowy green gown. Not too bright, not too dark, it's just nice green tone to attract attention. I'm a big fan of such design. I love the soft, flowy and smooth feeling that the gown has.


Not too much about the dress but perhaps the hairstyle and accessories come along that caught my attention. Just perfectly match. Hey, but this is for show only hor, don't go out with this hairstyle, unless you want people keep staring at you or end up with a bird lying on top. The bird might mistake your hair with her nest.

Black and white combination with a very well deco flower embroidery along the dress. The black flower made the white dress less boring, indeed it looks classy and sexy at the same time

 
Simple yellow tube gown with a big flower on the waist. And again, a big "wing" to create the wind when you walk :D Feeling like an angel when you wear such dresses.

Did i mention I love this particular design? I did!

I love this gown too because it's rosy pink and it's pretty creative when Francis combines the Chinese traditional clothing style with the modern one in this dress

Purple rocks the catwalk :D Simple but hot


All of sudden, it's Irene Ang as a model on the catwalk. You gotta be kidding me? No I don't. I was very surprised when I saw Irene in this show as a model. I thought she would be doing MC job or something like that. When she walked out, i got shocked. Hell sexy and gorgeous with her pony tail hairstyle, fitting dress with blue dragon printed on. Plus she looks so sexy. I then found out Irene was actually one of Marie France Bodyline successful clients. That means this slimming company is not bullshitting. They have the products and methods that work!
Anyway, talking about slimming and losing weight later. 
I was communicating with Irene over twitter for few times and to my surprise, she was so friendly til death, lolz....You all should follow her on twitter too. For that, I show you one more photo of her :D



Super models on the catwalk. Hate them, why they are so beautiful and tall -_- So jealous! 

Guess whose back is it?
.
.
.
.

That's her
Who else but Christy Chung- international actress and also an ambassador of Marie France Bodyline. No need to write much about her already, she is so famous. Just google her name, tons of websites will be shown.

Last but not least, the man behind the catwalk:

Francis Cheong
He looks so much younger than I thought, good looking too. So young yet so talented. I don't know how old he really is but to me I think he looks quite young and I admire people who are successful at young age. I'm sure he is gonna come out with many crazy and brilliant designs.


Last shoot before we left.

The show was short but not disappointed at all. I guess everyone was happy especially the ladies with gentlemen with them coz they can just point to the model walking on the catwalk and say "Oh, I love this dress"- "Oh, this one is even better"....next day the dress will be in their wardrobe already. 

So the tip is: when you go to watch a fashion show, remember to bring your boyfriend/ husband/ fiance/ admirer along :D

At least, if you don't get a dress, you also get some free stuffs from t he organizer, not one but TWO. How awesome! 
No joke! This is what I got after attending the event:


Body contouring treatment and facial treatment worth S$700. Thank to Marie France Bodyline and Bella Skin


Perfect serum for body from Marie France Bodyline too. They are so generous


Eye cream. I tried and it's awesome. The smell is super damn  nice

That's about it and I'm kinda looking forward for more fashion shows coming up :D It's pretty fun  and interesting. Thank to Omy.sg again for the awesome invitation, they always manage to get some good stuffs for bloggers. Jealous with what I have? You might want to start blogging now and join their blogger community at www.omy.sg
Now thank God I managed to finish this blog entry before heading out party tonight. It's Friday!!!!! 
Happy weekend to everyone! xoxox
