Day Two of the Kuala Lumpur Fashion Week (KLFW) Ready-to-Wear 2014 displayed a pool of Malaysia's brilliant young designers.
Nurita Harith wowed the crowd with her line of romantic and feminine pieces. Staying true to her favourite neutral hues, the London-grad Nurita added the 1970s Bianca Jagger glamour to her collection with metallic silver jacquard capes and pencil skirts.
Before Nurita rocked the 7pm slot of the show, Syomir Izwa had the crowd cheering for him with his latest resort collection. Syomir maintained his typical colour-blocking patterns with pleats and feminine detailing.
Kelantan-born Amir Luqman showcased a daring collection of see-through lace all the way, as dramatic as his strut on the runway before he closed the slot with a speech commemorating his 10th year in the fashion industry.
Twenty-nine-year-old Alia Bastamam hit the spot when she disclosed her spanking new ready-to-wear line called 'Alia B' before showcasing her full Alia Bastamam line. 'Alia B' has a rugged take to her typical signature romantic style - lace, but this time with tinge of leather and a lot of black.
Alia closed the second day of KLFW 2014 with a collection of intricate draping evening wear in rich laces, tulle and silk.
The evening slot was commendable as well when dude & the duchess kick-started the 3pm slot. The label’s new creative director, Jonathan Liang never ceased to disappoint the audience with a line full of proportionate layers and panelling that are just so wearable; Ezzati Amira with her ying and yang of sporty and soft tailoring combo, followed by Harvee Kok who mingled jumbo sized pockets, dramatic proportions and silhouettes that are boxy, as well as Justin Chew’s interpretation of the 1990s hip-hop fashion with a modern twist.
Sean Loh went all out with silhouettes that are strong with intricate black and gold embroidery that was truly dramatic. Closing the 3pm show was Tsyahmi who collaborated with Jamboo Tie Dye, showcasing his colour-blotting concept, a collection of coats, shifts and slips.
Monochrome seemed to be the favourite for most designers for this year's KLFW. 'For All' by Villiam Ooi started the 5pm slot with a series of wearable pieces that were appropriate for a lot of occasions with sporty yet multifaceted layers, white-on-white and stripy black and white on separates.
It was all retro for Zero to Ten, and Zakwan Anuar went all the way dark, black and brown with his army of oversized sweatshirts.
