Passion For Fashion 2011

[Special Event]

Headed down to KL on 25 October 2011 for the annual Passion for Fashion at Rootz on the Lot 10 rooftop which was freakin packed with guests. The highlight of the night was an edgy fashion show featuring the work of fashion designer Ori Chew while DJ Nikki, DJ Misty, and headliner DJ Crystal Q, Taiwan’s leading female DJ and resident of top Taiwan nightspot Spark 101 provided the tunes for the party.

The event was hosted by international models Kiri Hartig from USA and Cay Kuijpers from the Philippines, who are both notable personalities in the local fashion and film industries having done numerous assignments here in Malaysia.

I was in the VIP zone where we were treated to loads of JOHNNIE WALKER_® GOLD LABEL RESERVE™ and Frozen Gold cocktails paired with delicious dark chocolate that really brought out the flavours of the wine whisky!

Josiah Mizukami, founder and organizer of the Passion For Fashion, believes that the partnership with JOHNNIE WALKER_® is a match made in heaven; “Nothing says style and sophistication more than JOHNNIE WALKER_® and the world of fashion and film is synonymous with that. The Passion For Fashion aims to give back to the industry in terms of acknowledgement, celebration for the year’s hard work, and providing a platform for like-minded individuals to meet, network, and treat themselves. JOHNNIE WALKER_® GOLD LABEL RESERVE™ is the perfect indulgence for a night dedicated to celebrating industry stars,” said Mizukami.

Charles James Wright, Brand Manager of JOHNNIE WALKER_®, pointed out that JOHNNIE WALKER_®’s association with the Passion For Fashion is a win-win situation for both, as they share similar values of style, glamour and sophistication. “JOHNNIE WALKER_® GOLD LABEL RESERVE™ is meant to be enjoyed in celebration of special occasions, and was carefully blended for those with an appreciation of the finer things in life. Inspired by Alexander Walker’s handwritten blending notes, this intensely rich and extravagant blend was originally created in 1920 to celebrate the 100^th anniversary of John Walker & Sons. Indulging in our luxurious JOHNNIE WALKER_® GOLD LABEL RESERVE™ Scotch whisky is the perfect way to commemorate another successful year of partnership with the Passion For Fashion,” said Charles.
