Title: Berita Harian Malaysia-Bagaikan Puteri
Farahwahida, Farahdhiya terpesona, gementar diberi peluang peraga barangan mewah Habib
MENGGIGIL apabila kedua-dua jelita yang namanya berpangkal dengan panggilan Farah iaitu Farahwahida dan Farahdhiya apabila tubuh mereka berpeluang menyaluti barangan kemas benilai ratusan ribu ringgit yang bakal dikenakan pada majlis kemuncak Anugerah Bintang Popular Berita Harian (ABPBH’06), 4 Februari ini.
Mereka yang berpeluang mencuba barangan kemas Habib di pusat pameran produk itu di ibu negara baru-baru ini begitu teruja dan tidak sabar untuk digayakan pada majlis berprestij dengan mengenakan pakaian khas oleh pereka masing-masing.
Habib Jewels Sdn Bhd adalah penaja utama ABPBH 2006 menerusi tajaan RM1.5 juta iaitu RM1 juta dalam bentuk tunai dan RM500,000 berupa produk barangan Habib.
Dalam memilih barang kemas, Farahwahida lebih suka yang ringkas, sesuai dengan usianya yang bercita rasa remaja dan menyerlahkan personalitinya. Dia yang dicalonkan sebagai finalis Artis Baru Wanita Popular dalam ABPBH 2006 begitu yakin untuk mengenakan koleksi 2007 Rantai Berlian Labuh dan Subang Chandekier yang bernilai RM255,300 untuk digayakan semasa melalui sesi karpet merah nanti.
“Ini adalah kali pertama saya diberi peluang untuk menggayakan barangan yang begitu cantik, berkualiti dan bertaraf antarabangsa dalam majlis yang berprestij ini nanti. Dari dulu saya amat meminati berlian tetapi untuk memilikinya bukan sesuatu yang mudah, sebab itu saya lebih memilih emas putih sebagai aksesori untuk menghadiri sesuatu majlis.
“Bagaimanapun, saya tetap berbangga dengan pengiktirafan yang diberikan penaja dalam menyesuaikan produk dengan gaya selebriti yang terpilih untuk memperagakan produk mereka,” katanya.
Dia yang juga bakal mengenakan barangan Habib bernilai RM600,000 semasa persembahan itu nanti turut menggayakan pakaian berwarna merah hati yang direka khas Butik Cosry.
Farahdhiya pula dipersiapkan dengan koleksi intan Rose Cut bernilai RM400,000 berupa choker, anting-anting, cincin dan gelang yang dipadankan pakaian direka khas oleh pereka Alin Anuar dari butik Chantiq Skaly - nampak anggun bagi gadis yang memiliki kulit cerah ini.
“Ini adalah kali pertama saya memperagakan barangan termewah dalam hidup saya dan rasakan seperti seorang puteri raja yang diiringi pari-pari dalam satu perarakan besar. Berlian dilambangkan sebagai kemewahan kepada pemakainya dan ianya bukan sesuatu barangan yang mudah untuk dimiliki.
“Saya amat tertawan dengan kilauan dan keunikan potongan berlian yang dibuat dengan begitu teliti sekali, ia juga hanya boleh dipotong hanya dengan menggunakan berlian saja, mungkin sebab itu berlian ini dinilai dari segi pembuatannya,” katanya yang akan menjadi penyampai hadiah pada majlis itu kelak.
‘Dua Farah’ tampil album kedua
SEMENTARA itu, kedua-dua penyanyi remaja ini mengakui sibuk dalam menyiapkan dan mempromosikan album kedua dengan masing-masing mempertaruhkan kelainan.
Kata Farahwahida, albumnya yang bakal siap sepenuhnya pada Mac ini memuatkan 11 trek yang menggunakan hampir 80 peratus lagu arus perdana, iaitu 10 lagu berkonsep pop komersial dan satu irama tradisional Malaysia.
“Kelainan yang cukup ketara dalam album kali ini ialah, kebanyakan lagu di dalamnya tidak mempersoalkan berkisar cinta dan lebih menekankan mesej ketuhanan, kemanusiaan dan kecekalan seorang wanita dalam menempuhi hari dilaluinya.
“Bagi saya, ini adalah satu sumbangan saya kepada masyarakat dalam memberikan dan menyampaikan mesej baik untuk mereka yang sentiasa mengikuti perkembangan industri hiburan kita. Saya amat menekankan sesuatu lebih segar dan amat rapat dengan jiwa remaja saya di mana 80 peratus album ini akan menggunakan khidmat penyanyi latar dan koir.
“Saya juga bakal berganding dengan penyanyi popular Indonesia iaitu Endang S Taurina dengan lagu Di Sini Ada Cinta serta lagu hip hop bersama kumpulan Faboulas Cats yang banyak mendapat sentuhan daripada gabungan komposer baru dan lama dalam album ini, katanya yang akan diterbitkan Millenium Arts dan edaran Life Records.
Lagu Kau Yang Terpaling Ku Cintai yang juga menjadi lagu tema filem Diva Popular membuatkan gadis yang dianugerahi kulit cerah ini, Farahdhiya lebih yakin dengan penghasilan album keduanya sudah berada di pasaran sejak Oktober lalu.
Album berjudul Yang Ku Puja juga menjadi single pertamanya mendapat sentuhan Tam Spider dan lirik daripada Loloq turut mendapat tempat dalam carta lagu popular di beberapa stesen radio tanah air.
“Selain aktif dalam nyanyian, saya juga amat meminati sukan lasak dan mencabar yang membuatkan lagi diri saya tabah dalam menangani tekanan hidup ini. Sukan amat baik untuk mengurangkan tekanan dan beban kerja seharian, badan yang sihat akan melahirkan fikiran cerdas,” katanya yang akan menyambung pelajaran dalam bidang teknologi maklumat salah satu kolej di ibu negara tidak lama lagi.

Title: Jakarta Post- Strands of Indonesia at SFW
Strands of Indonesia at SFW
Features - November 12, 2006
Amid the buzz during the recent Singapore Fashion Week (SFW), The Jakarta Post contributor Camilla Adindamaulani caught up with two participants of Indonesian stock.
Victorian fantasy
Benno Asmoro, 31, was in his second year of elementary school when he moved from Medan to Singapore. After completing his education in production engineering, followed by a three-year stint at a Singaporean bank, he followed his true calling and crossed over to fashion design.
Today, he owns two boutiques at the Heeren on Orchard Road, a legendary shopping center among Singapore's youths (not to mention those Indonesians who visit the city-state). Benno's clientele now includes TV personalities, actresses and apprentice socialites.
Since his label, Benno La Mode, is basically a one-man-show, preparing the collection for Singapore Fashion Week (SFW) was labor intensive, to say the least. From designing to shopping for materials to overseeing production at his workshop -- Benno tended to them all by himself.
The Victorian-inspired collection he showcased during the fashion week featured a strong trace of Asian flavor. His exploration of materials and colors were seen in the generous use of silk, chiffon and lace in royal blue, burnished gold, pure white and satin pink.
Asked whether he was interested in designing men's clothing, he told the Post: "I am actually good in tailoring menswear, but there isn't a big demand for me to explore the line seriously."
When prompted by an explanation on the emerging metrosexual group in Jakarta who would spend a large sum of money to polish their looks, Benno responded: "Maybe I should go to Jakarta, ya?"
'Kebaya' rush
The stunning wedding kebaya with delicate military-pattern beadwork shone among the items exhibited during the fashion extravaganza.
The Indonesian kebaya, a traditional blouse, has progressively evolved with the current trend. They are now beautifully made with intricate designs using a broad range of materials and dotted with delicate details. Indonesian eyes can (or should be able to) recognize a good kebaya at a glance.
Hence, even when a booth was labeled "Malaysia", the lovely kebaya on the displayed mannequin prompted further inquiry.
"This is from Indonesia," said the exhibitor in a Sundanese accent.
The exhibitor is Ninna Giantino of Bandung-based kebaya label Tinong Kebaya.
"Our Malaysian business partner registered the booth and invited us to join," she explained the booth's sign.
Ninna manages a thriving kebaya business in Bandung and she agreed early this year to participate in the SFW, with the intention to introduce her label abroad. Her contribution to the booth display was a collection of kebaya that were created for her customers in Indonesia, as Lebaran rush orders had left her with no time to tailor a special range for the exhibition.
"I borrowed this from my client after her wedding party," Ninna said, pointing to an elaborately beaded wedding kebaya. Lavish beadwork and embroidery on fine laces dominated her collection.
Some military beadwork patterns in her works gave a modern funky twist to the look of her kebaya. As kebaya can be made in any color, Tinong Kebaya produces designs in colors ranging from white to off-white and from maroon to vivid green.
Several buyers from Europe, fellow exhibitors and local visitors approached her booth and inquired Ninna about her collection. But she said she was pretty content simply to engage in a little promotional branding in the foreign market, as her Bandung-based business was doing well.
While Tinong Kebaya's presence was sponsored by its foreign partner, the Ministry of Trade and Industry took Bandung-based T-shirt label 347 under its wing at the SFW exhibition.
Perhaps it can be hoped that they would lend more support for promising fashion establishments to represent Indonesia in future international forums

Title: Exhibitors Gearing Up for Labels Asia & Intimate Asia - Gateways to Business Exchange
Labels Asia & Intimate Asia
2 to 4 November, Singapore Expo
Exhibitors Gearing Up
With less than 2 months to the exhibition, exhibitors are feverishly gearing up to take advantage of the business opportunities that will be created for them. To date, over 96 exhibiting companies, from 11 countries representing 125 brands have committed to LABELS ASIA and INTIMATE ASIA.
From Singapore…
Singapore brand kamaSutra is looking forward to establishing good business links with the right potential buyers, working on a special collection of about 30 designs under the label described as "glamorously versatile". Their production team specializes in handling difficult fabrics like silk, satin and velvet.
"Our customer knows what looks good on her and has picked up her sense of style from traveling around the world. She is not afraid to experiment but above all, she wants a unique look that is at the same time versatile and glamorous. We have VIP's and wives of dignitaries who come in for that special ensemble that will portray her identity as Asian but at the same time, not compromising her individual sense of international style," said designer Chrystne Y.
While her pieces have been sourced by overseas parties in small quantities, mainly by word of mouth, she hopes to be able to expand her business base to include significant buyers, in the league of retailers like Harvey Nichols and Harrods of London.
"We feel that we are ready for the world', she said confidently.
Another exhibitor, Lab2Design, has taken up 99 sq. metres of space at Labels Asia. Having achieved significant success with his own designs, Lab2Design owner, Eddie Ho, wants to give young designers a chance to showcase their designs and to be noticed. He is working with raw talents from La Salle Institute and Temasek Polytechnic to come up with two special collections of about 70 pieces each, for the event and providing them free space to display their creations.
"We want to help these 3 or 4 designers who have no chance to promote themselves. Our young designers' skills have improved tremendously over the last few years but many of them don't get the opportunity to pursue their craft. I know of many talented designers who have graduated and ended up as window artistes, merchandisers or even insurance agents!" said Eddie.
TOob's designer swimwear label Zarzamora is the brainchild of chief designer, Wendy Yee, who won the Next Asia Designer Award at Asia Fashion Week '05. The label is already available in US, Cyprus, Croatia, Thailand, Philippines, Malaysia and Singapore. Her second collection will be shown at Labels Asia '06. Manufactured in Brazil, it will include designs with laces, ribbons and Chinese knots.
"For this year's event, we hope to establish our presence in Australia and Japan where there are great business opportunities, and we hope to meet buyers from these countries," said Wilson Chia, Business Director of TOob.
Perfect in BLACK's latest collection "Mystique", will be shown at Labels Asia and the SFW '06 Designer Show on November 4. The collection's offerings, in all shades of black, for all occasions, in a myriad of silhouettes, combined with intricate appliqué work, promises be a stunning affirmation of style for the discerning man and woman who swear by the colour of the night.
Managing Director and principal designer, Anthea Chan wants to further promote her brand on a global platform and to find more franchisees overseas.
As Anthea puts it, "I hope to raise more awareness of PERFECT in BLACK TM as a brand to be recognized internationally. Although it is a very niche market, I would love for other fashionistas around the globe to dare to wear my creations and exude confidence with all the qualities that black embodies... mystery, sensuousness, elegance, luxury and glamour. Black is a timeless classic and by participating in the Labels Asia, I hope to bring a special perspective on my collections and utilize it as a platform to reach the global elite."
From Australia…
Blundstone Footwear, from Australia will be showcasing their latest range of no nonsense and highly versatile, elastic-side footwear, with no laces.
Chris Ng from the South East Asian office said, "We want to raise the awareness of the brand in South East Asia. Although the brand has a 135 year-old history, we are still relatively unknown to Asian buyers."
From Hong Kong…
Jaeger Ng is the Design Director of Anchor Fashions Co. Ltd, which owns the Aitch K label, already available in Guangzhou and Shanghai. She specializes in knitwear and sweater designs.
"Aitch K. is 'Hong Kong'! The brand epitomizes a rather casual, easy-to-wear city style, smart and chic , and it targets the creative woman, artists and writers aged 25 or above who are pursuing their careers in the artistic or cultural field," said Jaeger.
From India…
For New Delhi-based designer, Jattinn Kochhar, this will be the second time he's participating in Labels Asia. He will be bringing a special collection of swimwear and evening wear for men and women to Labels Asia. Believing in practical and fuss free lines for his creations, he combines Indian heritage and urban influences in his designs focusing on lycra knits. Also an artist, he will display his art collection along with his clothes.
"My designs are very suitable for the Asian market, but of course I look forward to meeting buyers from all over the world," said Jattinn.
From Malaysia…
Malaysian company Asian Atelier manages labels, Chantiq Skaly and Tinong Kebaya. At Labels Asia they will reveal their garden wedding kebaya and couture kebaya collections called "Sweet, Sexy, Chantiq Skaly!". Also on show will be a "Workaholics" line which features wrap dresses for work and after work. Their Spring/Summer 07 line of vintage handbags will complement the clothes lines.
Alin Anuar, Managing Director of Asian Atelier hopes to propel the Asian designer's creative talent unto the international arena.
"We aim to partner with young talented Asian designers to draw inspiration from traditional masterpieces like the songket and kebaya, embellished with embroidery and beading to transform them into contemporary pieces for the international market."
New Cotton Innovations – A Step Forward for ODM's
Worldwide Cotton Incorporated and Cotton Council, global marketing and research bodies promoting cotton as a fabric, will be partnering with six Singapore textile and garment manufacturing companies (ODM's) to produce several new and improved cotton textile innovations at Labels Asia and SFW 2006. These Singapore Own Design Manufacturers (ODM's) are OceanSky, who is the largest supplier of GAP worldwide sourcing, Sing Lun, Ghim Li and Pacific Garment.
New exciting fabrications will be introduced for the first time to global buyers. The innovations include Storm Denim, a breathable yet water repellent fashion denim and a cotton T-shirt with a "dry fit" property.
Mr. Chris Koh, Secretary General of SFW '06 explains, "OEM manufacturers dominate the industry but they need to move up the value chain. Hence, gradually, OEM's are moving towards ODM's and Labels Asia provides a perfect platform for them to show case their capabilities."
Apart from participating in the exhibition, Cotton Incorporated and Cotton Council will also be sponsoring a private reception with a Cotton innovations show for the VIP's.
