A-Sutra Batik Fashion Show


Venue: Shangri-La's Tg. Aru Resort
Date: 18th June 2008
G.O.H: Seri Paduka Baginda Raja Permaisuri Agong Tuanku Nur Zahirah
Owner: Ashniza Saidun
Boutique location: Warisan Square & 1 Borneo



It was a granduous affair..lots of soft pink flowy fabrics, luscious roses, spider lilies, chiffons, and genteel feminine atmosphere. Guests were clients of A-Sutra boutique and spotted in the front row of the catwalk were Radzwan Radziwill and several other distinguised looking designers that I don't recognise. The high-table set up was what I have been fantasizing for, it looked like straight out of Martha Stewart Weddings / David Tuttera. And the blooms were shipped from Istana Negara so I was told..reminds me of Preston Bailey. The stage/catwalk was designed by Kamarsutra. Emceed by Mr. Gan Poh Tiau. Official magazine was GLAM. Doorgift sponsored by Colourland so in our goody bags were GLAM mag and a Professional Make-up shimmering Blusher by Colourland and an embroidered organza pouch. Yours truly was trigger happy clicking the so unprofessional digi cam most of the time. At the ballroom foyer were displays of exquisite accessories hand crafted by A-Sutra, delicate materials, beautiful ready made creations of dresses and baju kurungs.

I don't know how to describe how I felt but I guess once u've seen these pics u will know what went on in my head that night.




And after the show, a cocktail reception under a snowy-like tent in the garden.


I wanted to take more food pics but it was gone before I can click on it. Hey people were starving by 9.40pm..canapes were quite nice but I just couldn't swallow the goat cheese and smoked salmon quiche..desserts were simply devine chocolate mousse with raspberry jam especially. Check out the Queen's menu. The Royalties and elites were sat on the high table.

(Ashnita and I)

Congratulations to Ashniza and Ashnita.
