I Love Malaysian Designer Charity Event

Last Tuesday, a friend of Catwalk&Hanger had invited us to a charity event she had organised. Fashion for a Cause was a fashion auction event which consist of a few Malaysian designers and in accordance with the purpose of supporting Malaysia Red Crescent Society. There were seven talented local designers who took part in this charity event, which includes our friend herself, the talented designer Mutiara of Brew & Skittles ,the duo Sereni & Shentel ,the upcoming shoe designer RheaBenson ,  the exclusive myBatik , a very talented designer Justin Yap, the famous wedding dress designer with chiffon layered expertise Syahrir Nurdin and the young designer Nurul Wonder Wardrobe . We came to find out that the ambassador for this event was Tasha Shilla & she was so pretty in a long dress with 3d flower detailing..

Held at The Venue Pavilion, the event was supported by FashionValet and of course, the petite and bubbly Vivy Yusof was there too! Catwalk&Hanger had fun that night, we met up with few friends, mingle around with guests from different background, meet up with these talented designer, we were surrounded by beautiful Russian models and took loads of pictures of ourselves and our entourage of fellow fashion lovers. But we're unable to get good pictures of the charity dresses that night because it was too dark and we were using camera phone..sigh what a waste..but i assure you these designers are one to look out for.. their design are fresh yet classy very much to our liking..

What goes around comes around...

Around in a good way that is!
Have you heard of the Friendlyfashion website? It's place where people buy and sell, swap and even giveaway their preloved items.. As a fellow Catwalk&Hanger, I don't mind preloved, we started with preloved (read here)..I have to admit  my calling for preloved are unlimited, things like bag, shoes and accessories like necklace and bracelets and scarves and also not to mention certain type of clothes goes for me. Of course I do have my limits of accepting preloved (nothing too personal if you get my drift **wink**)...but the saying one man's trash is another man's treasure really hit ya..i mean sometimes that particular thing you really want is so expensive or soooo out of stock and the waiting list is just torturing you..and here comes another person who just wanna throw it away just because it doesn't match her shoe or bag or whatever..hey, why not you make money out of it and sell it to me.. !
The idea is so foreign to Malaysian yet out there you can find there as so many things people sell preloved hence existence of e-bays & mudah.com and the likes...  You can see there are thousands of clothes from ladies to men to babies and kids and even pets (soooo Paris Hilton yo..!) on their website, so much choice and to be honest based own own personal experience I found myself making friends with these fellow bargain hunting members..hands-down a great and very interactive website, really fast to update and reply to your queries and also they'd organised some pretty cool competition collaborating with local celebrity bloggers and such.. I suggest if you wanna read up about them go to their website here or read about them from the Women of Malaysia website here and about the two gorgeous sisters/ founder of the website here.
Anyways, last Saturday these gorgeous sisters made their way to invite members of the community to join them for an Ice Cream Party, a small gathering but yet so colorful and lively at The Bee, Publika.
Dear Nadzirah & Diyana, you guys are so gorgeous real life and you had brought along quite a friendly crowd together. Thanks for the Ice-Cream & the lovely Button and hope that you guys keep up the good job! Also if anybody is on frindlyfashion look me up and and like my profile please! Owh, and see if there's any hidden treasure for you..

AviRaya - Jovian Mandagie Fashion show

Count your blessing girls, guess who got an invitation to Jovian Mandagie's Aviraya Fashion Show. With the theme for the evening-Cocktail, guests were dress to the nines and made their way on a weekday to see Mr Mandagie revealing his 2012 Raya collection.

If you happen to follow him on Instagram, coming up to the day of the show, you really really get excited with his snippets and teases of the preparation as well as the collection itself. All the hard work put into the show, just amazing. And without a doubt the whole event was divine and spectecular.

Started off with the amazing introduction of the new perfume by Jovian's mother, having hunky male models  carrying the exclusive perfume bottles *droll*.

The first preview of clothes for raya ranging from the price of RM250-RM500. Affordable? I think so! It will only be available for sale from 15th July onward so my dear ladies and fashionistas let's not miss this chance!

The second preview of his raya collection is an exclusive line, and being the typical person who can only seem to find a jewel in the non sale section i just have to say, I LOVE THEM ALL! Seriously amazing that someone so young can be seriously talented yo! His concept that night was more on military-ish or army as the event was held in TUDM Museum Sg Besi. To top it all off, there was a marching band playing drums down the catwalk, the grand finale was hands down superb!

The doorgift! How cool is that? Gonna use 'em!
