Pavilion is hosting an 'International Kolam Festival' in line with this year's Deepavali celebration and Swarovski is adding some bling to the event with lots and lots of crystals!

GH Mumm F1 Celebration Party: Chloe and Coach
Last week, I went for two fashion shows held as part of the G.H. Mumm F1 Celebration Party at Pavilion.

Pull and Bear SS09 Collection
I went to the Pull and Bear Spring Summer 2009 Collection event at Pavilion KL yesterday. Overall looks maintained the distinct Pull and Bear slouchy, rugged quality to them, but were season-appropriate via sweet pastel colours and soft prints.
Acca Kappa
Please don't mistake Acca Kappa for sports apparel brand Kappa, it would be an insult to what could be your skin and hair's new best friend! Acca Kappa is a luxe line of bath and beauty products, and has particularly been renowned for their hairbrushes worldwide since 1869.
A Piece of Wonder Woman in Pavilion, KL

New "Materiel" To Splurge On
Material boutique in Pavilion has been open for a few months, but it took it's time to launch fashionably last week. Selling über neat pieces from labels like J. Lindeberg, Dr Denim and Religion; it can be left unsaid that many of the authentic pieces from this store cannot be found anywhere else in the country.
Guess Fashion Show
Guess threw a cocktail party outside their Pavilion store last Friday night to showcase their casual Fall collection.

Christmas Fashion Preview @ Tangs

Tangs in Kuala Lumpur’s Pavilion revealed their 2008 Christmas Store themed “surrealism”, yesterday. Who’d have thought that Salvadore Dali and the most wonderful time of year could go so well together? The space was unique, allowing for careful placement of the new products in their various compartments, such as the boudoir for the lingerie and the bathroom for the perfumes and beauty products.
Summer at C&K
We’ve noticed an interesting phenomenon here on Tongue in Chic lately and it’s about how passionate most of you are with your footwear. Not just any footwear of course - we’re talking trendy yet affordable shoes. Previous posts “Charles & Keith? Yes, please…” and “Charles & Keith in KL Pavilion” pretty much started a mini war between the C&K vs Vincci devotees within their respective comment sections.
Considering how many Charles & Keith fans we have here I thought you might be interested in taking a sneak peak at the summer collection, which according to our source should be available in time for the Pavilion opening in July.
Charles & Keith in KL Pavilion
Following Evevon’s post on Charles & Keith making its way into Malaysia, we’ve got more news for you! The 1,700-square-foot boutique will be opening its doors in Pavilion, Kuala Lumpur in July; with a second planned to open in the third quarter of 2008.
The brand has experienced phenomenal growth since 1996 with more than 130 concept stores in the region including Singapore, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, Myanmar, Taiwan, and Vietnam. Nice to know Malaysia will finally be included in the list!
Below are the perspective images for the anticipated store:
Reiss Springs In
Reiss in Pavilion recently threw a simple fashion party showcasing their Spring Summer 08 Collection. Hailing from UK, Reiss’ reputation for their elegant clothing has been noticed and noted, but you must agree it’s always a different issue altogether to see how the pieces hang from one’s body.
Rushing from a meeting into the store, I didn’t recognise many people there (probably due to my lack of presence in the scene!) save for some of the other fashion media moguls.
