Zalora collaborated with renowned Malaysian fashion designer Rizalman Ibrahim to release a collection with focus on the designer’s signature form-fitting cuts and elegant Baju Kurungs.
Embellishments are kept to a bare minimum, as Rizalman focused on the use of beautiful and exquisite fabric to elevate the elegance of each piece. Jersey, lace, crepe silk and georgette silk are used generously in addition to laces and metallic elements that create an old-world sophistication that only Rizalman could have recreated.
Featuring the collection are Malaysia’s models du jour Atikah Karim and Rita Suraya, with another campaign showing off seventeen of the designer’s current muses. These muses represent successful, elegant women from all fields and backgrounds such as popular actresses Scha Alyahya and Elfira Loy, top singer Dayang Nurfaizah and supermodel Amber Chia.
The exclusive collection is available on www.zalora.com.my and www.zalora.sg.

Eclipse FW 2014
This season, eclipse bares a new take on the brand’s inherent identity.
“We are making a bold move by embracing a new spirit in our eclipse brand identity. That is the only way a fashion brand can innovate and move forward as we strive to be in the forefront of the fashion industry,” quips designer Sonny San.
“When I designed the upcoming collection, I wanted to create modern clothes which are timeless yet classic in aesthetics. Coincidentally, one weekend, I was watching a series of rerun of movies and Arthur Hiller’s 1970 classic “Love Story” caught my attention. In this “Love Story”, no one was more beautiful in it than Ali MacGraw. The iconic style of Ali MacGraw not only became a defining marker of the fashion era and what always fascinated me is her innate and individual sense of style. Her own style clearly comes from the artistic side of her upbringing and this is what continues to help Ali look so ageless.”

When our eyes met @ Streetlove
After long having wanted to experiment with denim ever since the debut of her label When our eyes met in 2012, designer Yasmin Ramli has finally quenched her desire with the unveiling of her Fall Winter 2014 collection entitled Wired.
“After my recent trip to London [and Paris], I wanted this collection to remind me of my London days. I wanted to go back to the punk rock aspect and what’s more punk than denim,” Yasmin explains. “The fact that I’m finally using denim excites me and allows me to focus more deeply during the entire process of designing.
I’m more intrinsically involved in it; more concentrated in its development. Which is why I’m calling this collection ‘Wired’… I’m getting into the program of this collection. And with all the connections I’m making especially with the DJs I’m collaborating with to compile the soundtrack. It’s connecting people… getting ‘wired’!”
Streetlove also showcased other local labels (pictured below) such as Super Sunday (left), Sultan (right), and Wolfgang KL.
