From Bed Linen to Haute Couture

Picked up my girl from school, headed straight to Subang Parade. While whizzing along Federal Highway, the kids asked why. I told them I have received a SMS invitation from my friend WY to attend the fashion show organized by her team. Yassie puzzled, feeling tweaks of curiosity and trying to recall which one of my friends is in the fashion line. I told her that WY is in the bed linen business. She stared at me perplexedly. I shrugged coz I was as puzzled as her, kept thinking: has WY ventured into Fashion without me knowing?

When we walked towards the foyer, we could hear the music and the voice of the emcee. The show has just started. It was a fashion/catwalk show organized by Akemi, the bed linen specialist, featuring some of their latest bed linens and curtains. A total of six models, being cladded in bedsheets and curtains, displayed the various designs/themes by Akemi. It simply goes to show that bedsheets are no longer the boring plain white colour but a whole array of colours, patterns, themes, fibre and even thread count.

Let's not go into superfluity, I will enlighten you on what happened. But, let the pictures speak for themselves.

WY and co. have done marvel, very innovative indeed. The bedsheets looked a bit stiff though and hence the bulky feeling. The curtains looked better on the models.

So, nice time when you were to attend a ball or something, but cannot find a stunning enough outfit, why not take the ideas from Akemi. Fling over either a bedsheet or a curtain, deploy some innovative tying methods, and with the help of some pins and threads, you may do wonders and make all heads turned.
