A Night with Micky Tan @Fash Fab April Edition

This post is specially ‘For ladies who love drapes and ethnic prints’ from Micky Tan.

Micky Tan offers ladies a range of casual wear, cocktails dresses and gowns that are fluid and fun. Micky Tan loves to play around with variations of drapes and prints. She would sometime create dresses by accident or I would say rush of instinct that gives her the inspiration to come up a wonderful design. Micky Tan enjoy and loving what she is doing and she decides to create dresses that are commercially viable.

This mini collection has been her most interesting project so far by incorporating both drapes and prints which are her favourites elements. Micky decided to be bold once and for all and make these dresses in strong colours. Inspired by the woman who is trapped in a concrete jungle but wants to let loose, these dresses are a way of saying ‘I wanna break free.’ Shaded chiffon and satins are drapes on mannequin to achieve figures enhancing silhouette. Panels of 100% pure silk batik from Bali and feather trimmings are then incorporated into these dresses to give it character. Keeping that in mind that dresses should be fun, Micky decides to keep the length short.

Micky currently owns a shares production studio with her friends with hopes of expanding. Apart from creating mini collections out of passion, she also does production for independent labels and boutiques. Micky hopes that in the near future, she will be able to create more mini collection to cater to the different demands of this ever evolving fashion market.

On the 2nd April 2009 has marked down the showcase of Micky Tan’s Cocktail ’09 collection of dresses and tops at FashFab #11 in Twenty One Kicthen + Bar.

As a favor to my childhood friend whom I’ve known since I was 12 years old, I agreed to be one of her models and I’ve specially invited Kim Ong to be one of the models as well.

I wore the very first twirl tube dress. Absolutely cool dress as there is a technique to enhance my figure by twisting the dress to different direction for the top and the bottom part.

For the top part – twirl the dress to the right side. For the bottom part – twirl the dress to the left side.
