Who's Next is a fashion exhibition that features designers from all over the world. Every year, MATRADE (Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation) sends off between 8 and 10 Malaysian designers to participate in the fair. Just like last year, this year Innai and its brain-behind-everything director, Izrin and hubby Marc, are in town! We have known each other since sekolah rendah (junior school), and through the great wonders of the Internet, found each other on Facebook years after our pinafore wearing days.
This year's fair lacks the innovation and creativity of last year's. I can smell a financial crisis as soon as I stepped in. Nonetheless, its so great to see Europe's finest in fashion all perched on skinny heels, all in the same hall. Women and bag watching is one of my favorite pastimes, and I assure you that my eyes did their fair share of wandering these past 2 days.
I am not saying what I'm about to say because Izrin is my friend, but because I DO LOVE INNAI! Its long flowy caftans and togas compliment any body shape and size. The fabric lands softly on your skin, and moves oh so elegantly with your gestures. Even while some pieces cover your whole body, it oozes style and class. My Innai caftans have been worn for special functions like weddings, and a few months after it finds itself on a tropical beach.
