Rio Fashion Week

This was recently reported in MSN Entertainment and I thot it good material for my blog here while it is still fresh.

The Brazilian capital lit up this week as designers put their best on show. Known for churning out the most stunning models in the business, Rio de Janeiro is fast becoming the fashion capital of note, as buyers, editors and stylists flock to Brazil for the next big thing.

A Day in the life and style of a Muslimah professional

Writing and article, complements of Rushdina.

My name is Rushdina, I’m 27 years old and from Malaysia. I am an architect, but also do some modelling part time.

My Style

As an architect, I’m under a lot of time constraints. So I need to wear something simple, yet elegant! I will always go with trousers, even if I am wearing a short dress. This kind of outfit will always allow me to move quickly and easily at work.

Out of office hours and during weekends, I usually choose to wear a white shirt and jeans, which I’ll match with my sport shoes or wedges. I would love to wear high heels, and I have no choice in wearing 5″ high heels during runway shows. But believe me, heels will sometimes kill you and are terrible for your body posture. So, wedges are the best for me!

As for accessories…this is the best part! (Do handbags count?) I love to match my handbag to my outfit, and I love to wear necklaces and bangles too.

For my career as an architect, black will always be elegant. But I’d rather choose warmer colours for myself because they suit my skin tone. Remember – do not be afraid of wearing colour, but learn to choose the right color for your skin tone.

Top Tips

As for me, there are two things:

1- Don’t be afraid to mix and match
2- Don’t be afraid of colour, but learn how to manipulate it

Style yourself and prove yourself; even Muslimahs dare to be styled!

Islamic Fashion Fest 2009, Jakarta

In the recently concluded Islamic Fashion Festival 2009 in Jakarta from 25-26 May, as many as 18 fashion designers participated to showcase their designs to the world. However, the most proud happening in the event is; these fashion designers are from Malaysia and Indonesia. Unbelievable but true!

My comments, it is definitely a world class show befitting the international showcase.

Feast your sight on what I term as absolutely my favorite for the year, sequenced by respective designers’ name:

What Makes A Dad?

-Unknown

God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle’s flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,

Then God combined these qualities,
And then there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so, He called it – Dad.
