STYLO always strives for lavish fashion events with all-or-nothing dress codes and over-the-top deco. Returning for the 7th time this year, the themed event of ‘wearable fantasies’ was held from 24th-29th March in several nightspots and venues dotted along Jalan P.Ramlee leading up to the 16th Petronas Malaysia F1 race. As usual, Mercedez-Benz partnered Stylo to launch the Mercedez-Benz STYLO Fashion Grand Prix after last year’s successful Mercedez-Benz STYLO Asia Fashion Week.
First day of the party was a tribute to men’s fashion, with the dress code being stylish sleepwear.

Joe Chia kicked off the show with 02 – the symbolic number of his new line. Each piece continues his signature mark of dark colours, heavy layering and cropped pants. The symbolism of the number 2 reflects the philosophy of unity, urging one to unite with likened minds and ideals. It’s also meeting point of culture and the street, tradition and music inspired by lifestyles whilst connecting people and ideas.
Next one up was Tom Abang Saufi‘s collection, with daughter Iman representing that day. Pua kumbu (a traditional patterned multicoloured ceremonial cotton cloth used by the Iban) are seen on sarongs and shirts. Very suitable for tropical weather, Tom Abang Saufi’s collection also focuses on introducing designs with no buttons and zips.
Newcomer Kinslager is a brand led by husband and wife team, and focuses on combining Asian influences into classic European design. The male partner previously worked with Mercedes-Benz, before pursuing his interest in fashion.
Here are a plethora of pictures i took in Bologna on our first day there. I was super excited to go to the city described as the capital of food, and stuff myself silly. I stuffed myself so much i could barely keep awake after my first day there!
I count myself really lucky cos it’s my fourth time in Italy! Every time i return i just fall in love with the country more and more 🙂 This is gonna be a bit of a rushed post cos it’s already 2:15am in London and i need to wake up at 8:30 to visit my grannie in the hospital one more time before my flight back to Frankfurt!
I can’t help ooh-ing at daisies every time i see them JUST because we don’t get as many in Malaysia.
My aunty always says i’m gazing after weeds.
Oh my lord… there’s nothing like pasta in Italy. Nothing.
The fruits and vegetables are so bright, they look fake!
It’s spring time which also means lots of flowers!!!
Prepare to view like 50 pictures after the jump. :p

Ok i’m back in London for a week and barely had ANY TIME to message poor Clem, let alone blog!
Here are two pix taken by the club photographers when Mario and Bea took me partying on the coast in Italy.
I had SUCH a great stay there, and it’s mostly thanks to the wonderful hospitality Beatrice, Mario and the rest of the Italians have shown us. Italy is memang one of my favourite countries to travel to in the world!
Michelle, Mario, me, Beatrice and Camilla at Indie Pop Fashion Club My black and white dress is from Monki, (a Swedish brand and the same company that does H&M) who will be opening their stores in KL VERY SOON!
Er… i’ve been in Europe for a week and only up to Day 2 of my travel posts :p Last night i went partying with Beatrice and Mario with their friends in a club on the East coast of Italy, and they dropped me home at 7:30am >.<
I had to get ready in a hurry at 12:30pm to go out for lunch with everyone, and when Aunt G asked Mario to turn up some opera in the car, the elaborate sounds combined with my hangover made me go @_@”’
Here are some pix from my second day in Frankfurt! You can view blogpost on my 1st day *here*.
I went to walk in the food market aka Kleinmarkthalle. One of my FAVOURITE things to do when in a new city or country is to visit their local market, grocery store or supermarket! I love looking at all the exotic foods, fresh produce and if i’m in the supermarket – interesting label designs.
Scores of fresh fruit!
These nuts and chocolates were REALLY TASTY. The lady kept giving me samples to try and i unabashedly tried a bit of each and asked what they were. In the end, the chocs were so good i bought a packet for Uncle Mark cos he loves them so.
Oh this looks so much like pate du tete! I wanted to try some but didn’t think they’d let me buy a tiny bit so i just stared and it and salivated. Now that i’m looking at it again, i should have just BOUGHT SOME and coulda brought the rest to London with me!
Tongue… looks so gross but tastes SO GOOD. I love tongue.
