THE future of fashion in Brunei is looking bright with designers bringing in modest clothing from the world’s catwalks and finding commercial success by meeting the needs of the local market.
Two talented Malaysian designers – Syomir Izwa Gupta and Xema Su – recently showcased their latest garlands of fashion articles at The Runway luxury boutique in Kiulap.
With sui generis motifs derived from the long history of the legendary Yoko Ono, Syomir premiered the Kuala Lumpur Fashion Week (KLFW) 2016 collection pieces in Brunei for the first time.
Xema Su, meanwhile, gave the Bruneian public a look into her take on playing with fabrics and laces.
The event then continued with a made-to-measure (MTM) session for the guests, who were interested to custom-make items ranging from bridal-wear to red carpet dresses.
Guests were further delighted with a high tea in the afternoon to mark the boutique’s first-quarter milestone.
Ever since opening its doors to the public, The Runway has a mission and vision to be the platform for local fashion enthusiasts and regional creators, while providing wardrobe staples at affordable rates.

This is to assist young professionals, students and working mothers in their search of quality items, especially with upcoming celebrations like the Chinese New Year.
In addition, The Runway will be having a line-up of designers for more MTMs in the next few months, including PU3, Melinda Looi and Fuzanna, among others.
According to The Runway’s CEO Nora Noor, her main motive was to provide convenience to the Bruneian consumers, who often maximise their budget with flight tickets and accommodation costs just to get an appointment with selected designers.
“Why spend a lot, when you can save more… In order to lessen the hassle, I have decided to establish this as a stand for our clienteles to save their money, time and energy,” she said.
Nora continued that this too will create opportunities for both the designers and customers to reach goals based on their needs on a personal level.
