THE BDA/MIFW 2011 GALA SHOWCASE (Part 2)

.

As i mentioned before, the main reason of my excitation to this show was to give my full support to a friend of mine, NELISSA HILMAN. Allow me to give a piece of introduction to this beautiful young designer;

Born and raised in Kuala Lumpur, Nelissa Hilman graduated in Chemical Engineering before attending the Polimoda International Institute of Fashion Design and Marketing in Florence, Italy where she studied shoe-making. While she has always wanted to study design, like many parents, thought practically should come first. Even thought it seemed like a constraint at the time, she is grateful that her background in engineering has turned out to be instrumental in her approach to design. She believes that design is in everything we make, but it's also between those things - it's a mix of craft, science, storytelling and philosophy.

She is passionate about her role as the CEO (or rather Chief Energy Officer) for Nelissa Hilman Fine Shoes as she is working towards her debut women footwear collection and strives to make her brand appealing and unique, finding the balance between art and science.

"I love what i do. I love the craft of shoe-making. I want to celebrate its traditions at the same time as i push forward the boundaries"

Nelissa Hilman fine shoes is created for sophisticated adults who are not drawn to extremes, but rather an urge to refine classic silhouettes to perfection.

I am sure once your read her website; www.nelissahilman.com, you will be blown away by her journey in shoe-making and falling in love with her productions. Launching in the market, i dream to get one! :)

I found out that one of my favorite blogger, Vivy, was also attending the show. Seriously excited sangat-sangat!! Setelah di tolak-tolak dari belakang oleh En. Armi, akhirnya i beranikan diri to say hi to her. Omai!! She's a very soft-spoken girl, very humble, very beautiful in her Radzuan Radziwill Kaftan and AzuraAzwa's headband.

Malam tu i tido sambil senyum. :)

Dean was also there. Encem! :)

I met with CuteCarry too!
