Malaysia’s Alia Bastamam presents striking collection featuring Rafflesia jewelry

October 23, 2013

On October 23, the Youth Art Palace was filled with buzz as it hosted a runway show by Malaysian designer Alia Bastamam that featured Rafflesia jewelry, another Malaysian luxury brand.
The models clad in crystal white floor-length dresses designed by Malaysian fashion designer Alia Bastamam complemented by Rafflesia jewelry looked like nymphs. Flowing fabrics and silk designs accentuated the models’ svelteness. Another highlight of the show was seen in the jewelry, with the glittering diamonds and pearls putting a spell on the audience. The outfits and accessories made for a perfect blend as if sending a message “we are created for true ladies and we are able to conquer hearts and be a feast for the eyes”.

Among those attending the show was big-name footwear designer Jimmy Choo, who closely collaborates with Rafflesia and supports Bastamam’s collections.

The design esthetic of Malaysian fashion designer Alia Bastamam brings a cool and up-to-date culture into the glamorous realm of fashion. The Rafflesia Design School (KL) graduate is inspired by unequivocal beauty at first sight and what looks best on a woman. She carefully reflects the classic vintage works of Valentino Garavani and Roy Halston, the edged contemporary tones of Haider Ackermann as well as the playful nonchalance of Stella McCartney and Alber Elbaz.

Bastamam keeps a keen eye on fashion trends to keep inspired by new movements. Alia has made it essential that her designs are enduring and never out of style, without overtly ornate trimmings. In Tashkent, Alia Bastaman will present a collection complemented by jewelry by Rafflesia, another Malaysian brand.
