Motorola Malaysia sponsors MODA 2006 show

The MODA Unity 2006 Fashion Show held recently was full of glam and glitz befitting an international act. Supported by Motorola, 25 of Malaysia’s top designers took part in what is dubbed as the largest ever fashion show in Malaysia.

Over one thousand guests enjoyed the best of local fashion both by new and matured big names such as Nazleen Noor, Nor Aini Shariff, Ridzuan Bohari, Andriy Uvaroff, Venie Tee, Cherman Woon, Amir Luqman, Kenneth Vernon, Andrew Gan, Amanda Brown, Beatrice Looi, Bill Keith, Bernard Chandran, Carven Ong, Eric Choong, Faisol Abdullah, Kem Salleh & Ashley Wong, Key Ng, Michael Ong, Melinda Looi, Richard Tsen, Salikin Sidek, Tom Abang Saufi and Zang Toi, to name a few.

“It’s a get together for MODA after so many years. It’s a party and it’s to celebrate our 16th anniversary,” said Gillian Hung, president of MODA. It’s also an occasion to encourage unity among Malaysia’s fashion industry, she said. Zulkifli Mat Jusoh, Marketing Manager, Mobile Devices, Motorola said, “A Mobile phone is not just simply about technology. At Motorola, we believe a mobile phone is also a form of fashion – an extension of our lifestyle.”

“A mobile phone is also a fashion statement. It is more than just a communication tool, it is an icon and reflects one’s personality – just like the clothes that one wears or makeup and hairdo that one puts on.

For this reason, Motorola sponsored a prize for the best design which went to Jayden Gan Boon Leong from Carven Fashion Academy. The judges were captivated by the young designer’s creation and he walked away with a SLVR L7 from Motorola.

Motorola also enlivened the evening when guests were told that there is one Motorola V3 Pink sticker under one of the seats. The docile atmosphere immediately turned chaotic when guests started looking for the lucky draw prize.

The show started at 8.30pm, and the first showcase was by apprentice designers who also paraded their prototype designs. The highlight of the evening was after the break when 25 renowned local designers took to the stage to showcase their latest creations and fashion art.

All the designs and creations definitely got the audience’s approval judging from the relentless applause and ‘ohhs and ahhs’. There were also ‘cheeky’ creations that raised eyebrows. While some were avant-garde, modern and futuristic others designers opted for more subtle, practical designs. Some designers also infused their clothes with traditional motifs. Above all, it was a night to remember where Malaysian designers showed that they too are capable of international zest.

There were also clothes by young designers inspired by Motorola mobile phones and accessories exhibited at the entrance of the ballroom.

Celebrities such as drama-prince cum actor-model and TV host Zizan Nin, NTV7 personality William Quah, 8TV host Adam Carruther, Bernie Chan, Malay-soap queen Catriona Bahrin Ross, Chef Wan, Shamser Sidhu and rock princess Ella could be seen mingling amongst Kuala Lumpur’s fashionistas and fashionable crowd.-By Jonathan Cheah
