Project NY

Yesterday, I realized that I've nothing to wear for the glamorous NY party.. and it is..tomorrow! So, I decided to make something new for me to wear. This is like the actual project runway, where you just really give all of your energy to one task and get it done just in a day. And yes, I used the same technique where you don't have to measure and draw a flat pattern. Using only the right size of a mannequin is sufficient to make a perfect draped outfit. I really love draping. I love to cut fabrics on a mannequin itself more than cutting flat pattern on a table. Parce que ca c'est l'originale haute couture d'accord? Oh boy, I miss my madame Muriel. Sobs.. Oh btw, I used Silk Shantung fabric for this project. I have so MANY awsome fabrics laying around the room. It's so cool I feel like Monsieur Dior already :P

Project starts.

Drape,Manipulate.. et voila!

A lil' detail here and there and I'm done. I'll let ya'll see the finishing tomorrow..NY party baby!

Coco

Uuu..What's thiiiiz?

Christmas Barbeque

I had a barbeque going on during the Christmas day in my crib. It was my mother's idea actually, she invited all of our relatives including my closest friends. As you can see, Redza is helping us out with some of the barbequed stuff.. which makes my grandma LOVES him so much.. :)

InTrend Photo shoot

The photo shoot for the InTrend Magazine went well, I can't wait for it to come out, because it was shot by the famous photographer, Bustamam Mokhtar at the White Studio. He does a lot of work with GLAM magazine, and a lot of famous artists. This particular photo shoot is for the February issue of the InTrend magazine. The theme is, of course, Valentine.

My model, Maria from Andrew models

So happy with my model for this editorial shot

To all of my loyal viewers. Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!!

Much love,

The Queen

I am so inspired by the Queen Elizabeth I also known as Elizabeth of England. I just LOVE her dresses, and the costumes during the 16th century. I would KILL just to produce one costume, or make something very modern out of it. So as in right now, I am totally crazy about the 16th century costumes AND also Italian smocking. Italian smocking is so hard to understand, I'm gonna look for another smocking book. I am also keen to learn to knit. I've knit before, I know the easy plain and purl stitch, but I want to do cables! Big one! I'm sure some of ya'll don't understand what I'm talking about..so google it!

I've been keeping a lot of books about costumes. I bought some in Paris. There was one costume specialist in my school, Miss Ann Bizette. She's crazy about my books of costume making. Well of course, I bought them from the best author.

One of my favorite books

It's good to be in Paris, you get to buy cool stuff

See what I mean?

In love with these

The price...yeup, i know

Surprising weekend

I was supposed to go to the Piala Sri Endon with my mom and her friend, but since she was so annoying and we had a fight over dressing up. I wanna wear what I wanna wear and she was preaching me about Batik, and forced me to wear em. But I'm just 24!!! Lemme enjoy my jeune life. I don't wanna dress up old too fast. So I made another date with my friend Afiah, and Redza. We went to see the Asian Basketball league at the MABA stadium. The game was awsome, and we got the tickets for free! Lucky us. So anyway,during the second half, I noticed that I had an unopened message from my mom. This is what she asked me, " Nisa, who is Rico Rinaldi Tono? Is he your friend?" and I replied, "yeah, wassup?" and she replied back, "He won, first prize,"

Can you just imagined what I did, I was like literally jumping for joy, and people around were looking at me,like..she's crazy. Well,should've been there to support him, but YAY! He won the first prize..and walk out with the 30k. So actually yesterday, Rico took me and 3 others to celebrate. We did lunch together. which was great, but I couldn't make him pay for me so I payed for myself earlier..and he was like, "NOOOO NISA,what did you dooooo?" lol.

Another event with the French

Like I said before, once a Parisienne, will always be a Parisienne? This is what I'm talking about. This is what makes us different from the other overseas graduates, but I'm not sure about the M'sian students in Germany. But as for us, we do keep in touch with our local people in France and also with the French themselves. Unlike the UK or Ireland, we don't have that huge population of local people. To me, that makes us damn special. What say you?

Anyway, as the Asst. Secretary of FUGAM, I have to go to the French Embassy today, to attend their cocktail event. I wonder if I am the one who's going to write all about it, cuz as for our last meeting, the secretary himself couldn't make it, so I had to do the minutes and agendas. This event is very imprtant for the people like Redza because there will be some representative of French companies.. and I'm just gonna mingle around the non-engineer connected people..Hmm..maybe I should do something about the next event?

Kaiyisah's party at the Ritz Carlton

Was at Tg. Kaiyisah's graduation party last Saturday night. She is one of the grand daughter of HRH Sultan Hj. Ahmad Shah. It was also the birthday party of Kaiyisah's younger sis, Afzan. I really love the suite, it was so big and beautiful. But I didn't get the chance to take lots of photographs cuz was too busy 'socializing'..well actually more like stoning, haha. But it was fun though, met lots of familiar faces there, what a small world :)

in one of the bathrooms. go figure

In Kaiyisah's room

Actually I do have some pictures of the suite's living room, but it was taken from Redza's camera, and I haven't receive any photos from him yet.

YODA Showcase

Here's the sneak peak of me at the backstage with the models.. Ok,Wasn't happy with 2 of my models, but the rest were great and professional. Thank god Redza was there with me the whole day. It was so sweet of him to take a day off work just to help me with stuff, it's been a real drama at the backstage, but at the end of the day, i rock the stage, and my clothes are super duper sellable. The collection ain't that much weird cuz I don't want my friends and sponsors to puke, so I did lots of details in this small collection, just to add the extra special in the everyday wear clothes :)
