Date: 2nd April 2010.
Location: The Scarlet Fortress, Jalan Sentul Kuala Lumpur.
This year the STYLO Fashion Grand Prix was held at a not so glamorous part of the city – Methodist Boys School (MBS) at Jalan Sentul. The school sports and assembly hall was transformed into a spectacular Scarlet Fortress with scarlet and black as the design theme. More companies and organizations should hold their events in these type of locations so as to promote and bring more economic activities to the area. Furthermore it will channel the traffic away from the city center and bring some night life back to these places.
Overall, the event was a runaway success judging from the lists of celebrities, Malaysia’s top fashion designers, corporate figures, who’s who in Kuala Lumpur and her majesty the queen who graced the opening ceremony. Following are a series of photographs to relive the grand occasion.
