Chic Yamada Fall Winter 2012

It’s a little overdue, but it’s finally here! Glam up in Chic Yamada’s Fall Winter 2012 collection. Along with the fashion label’s move into rebranding itself, the 3-year-old Malaysian-born label has released it most well rounded collection yet. The brand has made most out of its color palette and patterns, which includes shimmer, stripes, neons and pastels. The collection screams statement partywear pieces that are easily paired with almost anything in your wardrobe.

The collection features Chic Yamada’s first bold use of studs and leather in its designs. Taking note of the spike fever that has hit the fashion world, one of the key pieces of this collection is the studded leather collar chiffon dress. The knee length dress plays coy with its mesh top and flared skirt. The small gold stud detailing on its collar tips shows an edgier side of the high street brand. This day-to-night look comes in fuchsia, black, teal and a quirky lime color.Chic Yamada Fall Winter 2012 also introduces two of its first premium ranged designs, fit for the special occasions and for the girls who prefer classier silhouettes. Both bodycon dresses are designed to flaunt curves, the first an abstract printed turtleneck dress for the gossip girl-esque ladies. Let your hair down with this to-die-for dress that needs no accessorizing thanks to its bold splash colored print. The metallic bodycon dress is made of sleek shimmery smooth material that comes in a color, perfect for every skin tone. Show off that sexy collarbone by pulling back your hair into a sleek up-do and have the light shine on you.The collection also brings forward one of Chic Yamada’s preppier looks, a neon checkered ensemble that comes in two colors. Both collared top and pants have the same leather detailing and neon colored stripes that run along its fabric. The more daring ones can pair both as a suit with your favorite pair of oxfords or flats. Not a fan of the leather collar? Opt for one of the five peter pan collared crop tops that come in similar neon fabric, this way you can pair it with a high-waist skirt!
Chic Yamada is now available at Lot 35 & 36, Parkamaya, 3rd Floor Fahrenheit 88, Bukit Bintang and UGF-26, Bangsar Village II. You may also purchase their latest collection from their website, www.chicyamada.com

Chic Yamada @ 20BYTWO : Fashion Beyond Borders


Chic Yamada was part of a fashion collective event, 20 by Two that featured a group of 18 of Malaysia and Singapore’s up and coming designers under one roof. The event was a collaboration between Tongue in Chic, Fashionspace and the likes of other designers such as Joe Chia, Justin Chia, Alia Bastaman, KLutched, Thirty Four and Yadotsa. The first league of the 2 week event was held at the Red Dot Museum in Singapore and the dimly-lit hall was filled with fashionistas of all ages and sizes. We met fashion bloggers as young as fifteen and women in their 50′s, dressed to the nines! The crowd in Singapore has truly inspired us with their edgy and fashion forward style.

*Picture taken from Chic Yamada’s Instagram
The following weekend, we touched base and showcase our latest Summer line at Publika, Solaris Dutamas. The three day event was greeted by chic KLites and we were proud to see the support they had for their local designers. The feedback was amazing, and the feeling was rewarding knowing that there is an awareness for local brands.
