Not for the demure

It was not quite dark yet when guests started queuing up for the premiere of the Guess Handbags Fall 2006 collection at The Curve in Mutiara Damansara.



The new Guess Fall collection features gold studs, diamante, chunky buckles and chains. The glitzy event, far down in the courtyard area, grabbed attention and onlookers were aplenty, but only those on the guest list made it to the party.

More than 200 media members, business associates and friends of FJ Benjamin (M) Sdn Bhd (licensee of Guess in Malaysia) found comfortable nooks to down the sizeable cocktails served or indulge in a glass of wine or two as they waited for the “stars” of the night to make an appearance.

Of course, the “stars” were none other than the new Guess handbags that promised a look of urban perfection set in style.

The blaring of funky tunes and a dance gimmick at 8.15pm signalled that it was time to watch out for the “stars” as models took to the stage, sashaying with the latest designs with an attitude to match the style.

These were not bags for the demure; rather, they would have latched on well with women who liked the stylish rough look, as the collection boasted bags with faux fur trimmings, patent anaconda, leather, glittery animal prints, suede, gold studs, diamante, chunky buckles and chains.

From afar, the gold studs, diamante, chunky buckles and chains described a collection that suited the bold and strong; women who were not shy of strutting in daring accessories or making heads turn.

It was all about offering a collection of glam rock for a season of change.

The collection personified the aura of music superstars like Madonna, Beyonce, Gwen Stefani and Pink.

The handbags are available in large hand-held styles as well as smaller daintier silhouettes.
Guess also featured its Eyewear range with the glamour of rock elements in fashion to go with that funky handbag.
