Enchanting season

AEON

The first Raya Fashion Week organised by AEON gives fashionistas a reason for early festive shopping.

IT may have been an hour before the event was scheduled to begin, but the hijabsters were already out in full force. The sense of anticipation was palpable, on the faces of gossipy Mak Datins clutching their Louis Vuittons to the fashion reporters snapping pictures of the empty catwalk with smartphones. This pre-show bustle was interrupted as soon as models in flowery topknots sashayed down the runway, the flare sleeves of their baju kurung fluttering to thumping Moorish music.
