Another week, another whirlwind of totally EXTRA events! We were here, there and everywhere!
We oohed and aahed at KLFW2024; made ourselves at home at House of Sephora; got our foot in the door at ASICS’s latest drop launch, and more. We were on the scene, and vibing like a boss! Just check out our social diary for this past week (don’t be jelly!):
KLFW2024 Launch & Opening Shows
We attended the launch and opening shows of the highly-awaited Kuala Lumpur Fashion Week (KLFW) 2024! This year, the event is held at the Esplanade at Suria KLCC, overlooking the picturesque Petronas Twin Towers, which adds to the glamooor!
The theme of KLFW2024 is “Neo Fashion,” and the first three shows featured stunning designs by Uzair Shoid, Milkshake and What To Wear. They were all amazing! Several shows at the ongoing event are broadcast live to the public, giving the world a look at Malaysia’s fashion talents. Other designers and fashion houses featured at KLFW2024 include Farah Khan, Nurita Harith, Alia Bastamam, Behati, Fizi Woo and Rizman Ruzaini. Here’s what went down at the opening shows:

ASICS OG SKYHAND Sneakers Launch
ASICS celebrated the launch of its iconic OG SKYHAND sneakers with a party at Gasket Alley that featured photo booths to capture the night, a custom charm booth to decorate the sneakers, and a DJ booth that kept the fun going all night long. Guests also enjoyed delicious pizzas from Phil’s Pizzas; with the highlight of the night being a lucky draw.
The OG SKYHAND sneakers, originally released in 1994, have been updated for modern lifestyles while retaining their slim and low-profile aesthetic. The reimagined version features FLYTEFOAM™ PROPEL cushioning and an EVA heel wedge for enhanced comfort. The sneakers will be available in two material iterations: one with synthetic leather paneling and suede details, and another with a primarily suede construction paired with synthetic leather ASICS stripes and heel tabs.

Moonlit Melody Afternoon Tea @ The Westin KL
There’s nothing like celebrating the autumn festival with lovely afternoon tea and treats. We were invited to The Westin Hotel Kuala Lumpur for the launch of their latest ‘Moonlit Melody’ music box. This retro mooncake set features four meticulously-crafted mooncakes, each embodying a blend of traditional and contemporary flavours that are Halal certified.
We indulged in the newest mooncakes while accompanied by a live instrumental performance in the hotel’s Chairman Suite, which, by the way, was super cosy and stunning. The Moonlit Melody boxset will be available starting this September – for more information check out their social media post here.
