I had the honor of being asked to present my designs at Designers Weekend. An event that seeks out upcoming and Malaysian designers in the various creative industries. It was a perfect match for me as I didn't fancy throwing my designs just anywhere, so I gathered a team for this event.
Arrival, rehearsals & make-up were under way.
It was exciting but I had that nagging feeling that something would go wrong. Twas my first time actually presenting my own designs. I mean I've done interviews and public speaking before but nothing like this. I was a little worried about the song choice as the audiences may not understand it as it isn't exactly 'mainstream', and on top of that, even the organizers were saying that it might lack the 'bang'. But, somebody did remind me, the whole point of the song choice was to be different which is what VING MING is all about anyway.
Fast forward to runway time and awaiting for our queue.
All in black with leather jackets, I think the VING MING models looked fierce. I have to thank Wolfgang for sponsoring his fabulous printed tops which added to that rocker feel to the shoes. The models were to strut out with attitude and just about the announcing of the label began, I gave a small pep talk to ease them into the mood.
And the music kicked in with the sound of the bass guitar and the show began.
