The striking design is one of up-and-coming designer Lee Bao En, 22, who was crowned winner of the first ever AirAsia Runway Ready Designer Search earlier today.
Lee, from UCSI, was inspired by the rich history of Cambodia, and wowed both judges and the audience during the finale fashion show which was held on the last day of Kuala Lumpur Fashion Week Ready to Wear 2015.
Featuring 10 finalists shortlisted from young fashion and design students all over Malaysia, their creations took centre stage on the runway in Pavilion's Centre Court.
The theme was Southeast Asian destinations, and inspirations ranged from deep sea creatures and architecture to topical issues like haze and deforestation.

I was still rubbing my shoulder, post-cortisone shot, when I asked the doctor, “So. Is it possible this whole fiasco could have been caused by a weight machine?”
The doc swiveled his chair away from the MRI image. He looked straight at me with a deadpan face. At least it seemed deadpan in my ’roid fog. He nodded. No words, just a subtle nonverbal “yep” heard ’round my world.
I wanted to make sure the swelling and the tear or nick or whatever it was didn’t happen for some other reason. (Hint: Age.) Deep down, all the way to the epicenter of my rotator cuff, I suspected this injury could be traced to that brief month I was trying to look like a Rosie the Riveter poster.
Hindsight: It was a mistake to entangle myself with weight machines — those wacky things with pulleys and blocks of iron stacked like giant, tempting Pez candies. This gadgetry was in my basement, beckoning me for years. My sons and husband have used it all quite deftly and regularly.

This month, Pittsburgh enters what’s arguably its busiest time of the year in fashion with a one-two punch of packed events thanks to the third annual Style Week Pittsburgh (Wednesday through next Sunday) and the sixth annual Pittsburgh Fashion Week (Sept. 21-27). It says a lot for a city of Pittsburgh’s size to have nearly two weeks of events (not counting the numerous other separate style-focused affairs held here year-round) that are devoted to putting Pittsburgh’s fashion community on a pedestal for all to see.
As someone whose job is to stay on the pulse of Pittsburgh’s style scene, I’m often asked: Can the city sustain this many fashion events? Without a doubt, yes. Within the past five years, Pittsburgh has seen significant growth on the fashion front. It’s home to emerging and established designers, boutiques that carry world class brands, college-level fashion degree programs, a provisional chapter of the prestigious Fashion Group International, and salons with stylists whose talents have landed them on styling teams backstage at New York Fashion Week. The city even has claim to the International Mustache Hall of Fame.
But is Pittsburgh doing enough to spotlight its true movers and shakers of style?
Although Pittsburgh Fashion Week and Style Week Pittsburgh each have had a few years to acquaint the city with their missions, much of the city still is getting to know them. For every person I come across who’s familiar with one or both events, I encounter a handful of others who aren’t, or who don’t know the difference between the two. (For the record, Pittsburgh Fashion Week focuses on runway shows spotlighting dozens of designers — nearly 30 in 2014 — and the models and stylists who help bring a brand’s aesthetic to life. Meanwhile, Style Week Pittsburgh aims to create experiences and connections for event guests and participants centered around style, which has included everything from a runway show at a Strip District night club to a block party in East Liberty with boutiques, fashion trucks and even an interior design showroom.)

It finally happened. No, the gaping maw of hell did not open up and swallow all these women, welcoming them back to the fiery climes from which they came. It was something close. Aspiring white woman of leisure Sonja Tremont Morgan of the Maxxinista Morgans finally debuted her local global fashion casual luxury womenswear lifestyle ready-to-wear brand collection assortment sampler. She did this during New York Fashion Week.
Now, notice that I did not say she did this at New York Fashion Week. As Kristen pointed out, Sonja Morgan was not in the tents at Lincoln Center where the most commercial brands engage in the official event known as New York Fashion Week. All of the other shows that happen at the same time happen during New York Fashion Week, as in concurrent to the shows that are a part of the official event. This does not mean that Sonja’s event is any less special. Marc Jacobs doesn’t show in the tents, and neither does Alexander Wang or Joseph Altuzarra or Thom Browne. Actually, it’s kind of not cool to be in Lincoln Center. It’s full of brands that they carry at, you know, Macy’s. Anna Wintour only goes to the tents to support her advertisers. Kanye West wouldn’t be caught dead in a tent, but that’s because of a bad experience he had at Boy Scouts and has nothing to do with Fashion Week.
Anyway, this is just one of those Housewife obfuscations, like when Countess Crackerjacks said that her daughter was going to have a piece in Art Basel but it was really just at some other tent down the street during the same week as Art Basel. Similar, but not the same. It’s like the difference between an actual nude photo of Jake Gyllenhaal and one of those very convincing mock-ups where someone with far too much time on his hands and a bootleg copy of Photoshop who most certainly is not the president of a well-respected institution like the Real Housewives Institute puts Jakeypoo’s head on the body of a porn star so that we can all imagine what it would look like.
Anyway, not everything has to be a fashion show either. As Elie Tahari showed us, some brands — either ones that are smaller or ones that show in another city, like Paris or Milan, but still want a presence in New York — have a presentation. Basically, models just stand there wearing the clothes for about 45 minutes while people mill about and look and take pictures and then go somewhere else where there is free Champagne. This is what Carole, Heather, and Kristen attended to watch Kristen’s nail polish you can buy at Ricky’s spin around on a tropical lazy Susan that looked like it was out of the opening ofThe NeverEnding Story. (Note to self: Remember to refer to Ramona later in the recap as the NeverEnding Sorry.)

Tlale converted Cape Town’s unfinished freeway into a fashion ramp and closed a street in the Bo-Kaap to show off his designs
at previous fashions shows.
He returned to the Bo-Kaap yesterday to the Gallery Momo for a off-site event which formed part of the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.
Socialites and fashionistas shared the front row with everyone else, as is customary at Tlale’s shows. A single row of clear plastic chairs was positioned against the walls.

Even if you don't follow the world of high fashion, Dana Thomas' dual biography of British designers John Galliano and Alexander McQueen is one of the nonfiction titles of the year. Thomas probes the torrential world of haute couture as she chronicles the lives of fashion superstars whose meteoric careers read like a modern Faustian tale of tragic dimension.
Thomas opens the book with the infamous spectacle of John Galliano's 2011 downfall, that was caught on tape and made international headlines. The drunk and viscous Galliano was seen hurling anti-Semitic and misogynist epithets against Geraldine Bloch, (curator at the Paris' Institute of the Arab World) who was dining at a nearby table with her boyfriend on the terrace of the Paris cafe La Perle. Under French law, Galliano was arrested and charged with a hate crime and the tape went viral on the internet.
At the time Galliano was head designer at Dior, then part of a design conglomerate headed by financier Bernard Arnault. Galliano was initially just suspended from the company, but when previous similar incidents resurfaced in the tabloids, he was fired. Galliano's flameout was a year after Alexander McQueen committed suicide at the height of his own success. McQueen's manic nature, drug use and pressures of the industry all co-factors in his spiral down.
McQueen was from a proud working class Londoner family with proud Scottish heritage. Galliano family moved from Gibraltar to England when John was six, but his mother kept Spanish-Moroccan culture alive in their London home, which became part of this design DNA. Both men identified as gay at a young age and were bullied in school and both developed combative personalities to activate when necessary. They became more driven in their careers.

The dog days of summer have arrived. Yesterday, I found myself sweating bullets on my walk to the train, and it wasn't even that sunny. My hair drooped the minute I stepped outside, my clothes stuck to my back and I probably would have paid a volunteer $10 to carry my gym bag.
It's not just the heat; it's also the humidity. You sweat even more on an 80-degree day with lots of humidity than on a 90-degree day with no humidity. Every year I discover a new fashion problem that goes along with said sweat. This year, I have been carrying a cross-body bag and noticed that when I sweat, the leather on the strap gets damp and rubs off on my shirt. Yet another delightful side-effect of the sweltering heat.
I often write a column about looking breezy while living in what is, essentially, an oven most summers, because every year I find that I have not yet mastered it. Some of the problems that I hope to remedy this year include:
Sweat showing through my clothes.

Tartan miniskirts and tie side crop tops, babydoll dresses and ugly platform sandals, pastel coloured everything and black velvet chokers: the list of signifiers confirming one’s awareness of ‘Clueless’ (and the corresponding decade’s fashion choices) is as long as it is prevalent in east London circa 2015, yet there remains just one piece of arm candy more prominent than shag bands.
Enter Baby-G.
Launched in 1994 (a full year before Cher introduced Tai to Elton and two ahead of ‘Wannabe’s release) Casio’s then all black creation was the latter result of G-Shockfounder Mr. Ibe’s ‘unbreakable watch’ quest; the ‘pretty tough’ sister brand to Ibe’s initial shatter resistant design.
“My first memory of Baby-G was when I was in primary school,” photographerEleanor Hardwick tells Clash. “One of my friends had a lilac one and I was always jealous of it. I don’t think I really understood what telling the time was at that point, but it made her look like a sort of badass bionic superhero which was enough to make me envious.”

As you can imagine, in such a climate, any new or young designer would find it tough to start up, let alone compete with the more established names.
And yet, a few brave souls did. Lya Solis was one.
With a degree in fine art, Lya hails from Moscow and came to live in Ireland 13 years ago. She worked in marketing for several years, including while she was at the Grafton Academy, from where she graduated in 2009.
Two years later, in 2011, Lya began designing her own collection, opening a store in the Powerscourt Townhouse Centre. Today, she has that store and an atelier at 34 Fitzwilliam Street, Dublin 2. This is where I meet her, to view her pre-fall collection of luxury day and evening clothing.

The Monaco royals don't generally do small celebrations. (See:Prince Albert's recent cocktail party for 8,000 marking 10 years on the throne.) But the July 25 wedding of Albert's nephew Pierre Casiraghi and Italian heiress Beatrice Borromeo will be surprisingly laid-back, the prince tells PEOPLE.
"The wedding service will be in the Palace's salons, then a garden party – because Pierre and Beatrice want it that way," Prince Albert, 57, tells PEOPLE exclusively.
The Monaco civil ceremony between Borromeo, 29, and Casiraghi, the 27-year-old son of Albert's sister Princess Caroline, will be followed one week later by a second religious service on Italy's Lake Maggiore.
