I received an unexpected invitation from Fashion Valet last week to attend their Eid Style Collection 2015 for last Friday. Like seriously? This was what I meant when I said I seriously did not expect the unexpected. This invitation was totally unexpected.
My respond was...
Yes! Yes! Infinity Yes!
I was allowed a plus one to the event. Who did I bring?
Erwin!
Then reality sets in. I had to ensure all my work was complete. Make all the necessary arrangements and that nothing else was on that day so that I can catch the flight immediately after work, reach Royale Chulan KL hotel by 6pm and still be able to look fabulous by the time the show started.
After the mad dash to the airport, facing the heavy traffic jam from KLIA2 to the hotel, worry if we were gonna be late, trying to hold in the bladder in the middle of the busy traffic of KL with no washroom in sight, we were all too happy to finally reach Royale Chulan safely by 6pm.
By 7pm, we were there. Hungry, but I sure was glad to be there.
Everything seemed surreal to me.
A few thoughts crossed my mind as I sat there waiting for the show to begin.
This was actually happening. I flew in to KL to support my favourite online retailer, who has never failed to disappoint me with their endless ideas and continuously improved design collaborations with various celebrities and designers mainly from Malaysia. I was proud of Malak, (being a Singaporean) for being one of the collaborators with FV.
I remember thinking to myself, is this worth the trip up north? Am I going to be disappointed?
After all, I did drop pretty much everything just for this show and a bit of shopping in Kay Ell.
The show started and check out just some of my view from my front row seat...
What can I say, except it was well worth the trip up to my neighbour's place. Malaysia has definitely grown to be a fashion hub of the east and Fashion Valet is definitely listed as one of the companies contributing to this rise in the eastern fashion industry.
The Eid Style Collection 2015 was only released for a few days on their website featuring 5 designers and 4 icons. Unfortunately the collection has already been removed from the website after Friday night, but who knows, they might decide to put them back online?
Congratulations to Vivy Yusof and Fadza Anuar as well as the whole FV Super Team for the hard work in putting together the #fvraya2015 collection show at Royale Chulan, KL. I am pretty sure a lot of tears. sweat and maybe blood was put in to ensure the success of this show. It was a great show and I was so glad I made the decision to fly in and check out the collection up close and personal.
I truly appreciate the invitation, FV.
Thank you.
By the way, Fadza, Vivy and lil Danial passed by me and I wanted to take a photo with these amazing people. Unfortunately, my shyness simply got the better of me and since I saw them rushing, I thought I shouldn't stand in their way.
I know, what was I thinking right? Where the heck did my thick skin go to at that very moment?
*sob sob*
None the less, would I do this again?
YES! YES! INFINITY YES!
I would do it in a heartbeat all over again. Except this time, I gotta make sure I grab something to eat first (even if it is a snack) and not attend the show with a growling tummy.
