I simply love the opening sequence of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2009. Watch the video!
If Fashion In The Sky can achieve just 10% of their standard, very successful already! Hahaha!
When I went to Oklahoma and Texas in Dec 2008, many of my female classmates went goo goo gaga over Victoria's Secrets and so did I!
I bought lip gloss & tights for my friends, a 250 ml Very Sexy Hot' Sheer Sexy Mist (LOL, perfume in other words) and a PINK cushion that says "Big Heart Mountain" and squeezed it into my luggage bag! Am hugging it to sleep at night and still loving it now! =)
And looking at how Asian girls go crazy over VS, I thought how nice it will be if I can bring it to S'pore!
I casually shared the idea with my friends and the next thing I know? Resort World Sentosa (RWS) opened with the 1st Victoria's Secret store in Asia! Who brought it in? Ashvin Valiram, the director of Malaysian-based retailer Valiram Group. Like who is that right!?? I googled and found this:
" The Valiram Group was established in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in 1935, originally specializing in the textile trade. The Valiram Group is Southeast Asia’s leading luxury goods and travel-retail specialist with corporate headquarters in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia with regional offices in Singapore, Jakarta and Sydney. Creating exceptional retail environments and luxurious shopping experiences is the hallmark of the Group. Valiram continues to bring to Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and Australia iconic luxury brands as well as cutting-edge retail concepts in the domestic and travel-retail arena. "
How long did it take them to negotiate with VS?
5 long years!
I don't think I'll have the kind of patience that they have! 5 years leh!!! 5 years ago when they started negotiations I was still a 18-year-old struggling in JC 2! TOOOO SLOW ALREADY! Big organization like them that started in 1935 also took 5 years to negotiate leh! Who am I in comparison! *Faints*
Seems like VS isn't keen to "share" their services in Asia... I went with Aaron to RWS a few weeks back, the VS shop there is so small lor. -_-"' Doesn't even do those 5 years any justice! My idea was to open a huge one like the ones I saw in America at say, Vivocity! Lol.
Oh well, I guess I have to think of other more feasible ideas then!
At least for now, I'm happy to be the "godmother" of Fashion In The Sky (Jamie is the mother, Adeline the father! Hahaha, just kidding)! =p Watch out for our publicity in Lian He Zao Bao today! ;)
Yours truly will be the video host of the event and going around to interview you, the most happening people! It's like one of my dreams come true and I wanna do a fantastic job... Gonna rehearse and all! :) You may RSVP at our FB event invite. See you there!
