Dear Shaded Viewers,

I’m here in KL with fellow Shaded contributor Philippe Pourhashemi covering the city’s fashion week which just started yesterday. I’m enjoying the tropical climate as it was too cold in New York. Looking forward to more catwalks and some sight-seeing in this culturally rich city.

The YODA shows (young designers) were rather experimental. This look reminded me of Spiderman’s foe, Doctor Octopus.

Love,
