Remember this blogpost and contest which I ran a few weeks back?

As one of the official bloggers for Kronenbourg 1664's L'aperitif Fashion, I shared the launch of Kronenbourg in Malaysia in that blogpost as well as the contest whereby one lucky reader wins 2 invitations to the French fashion event at The View.

Fast Forward- Ta-da!!

Whisked off to The View at G-Tower

I love this place. It's an open-aired bar up 28 stories in the air with a magnificent view of the city

Glad that Kronenbourg chose this place as it is sophisticated, classy and jives well with what their event is about!

Cheers, Kronenbourg!

Oooh the glorious Petronas Twin Towers in the background :D 😀

This time round, I brought along a guest with me to the event.

Meet my plus one for the night. my housie Pamela 🙂

She's actually my childhood friend-turned-housie 🙂

'Cept the fact that we hardly (if at all) ever talk in high school lol

Housie Pam and I at the L'aperitif photowall 🙂

Showed the way in by the usherettes

Even more elaborately dressed usherettes

Catching up with some friends Dennis & Fay

With my fellow ex-redhead, Linora 🙂

With Fateh whom I met at a barbeque beach party some months back

(My weird expression is a result of an expression refraining from pulling an

even weirder expression as Mike tried to rob me of my fedora!) 

Funtimes and silly moments never stop with Kronenbourg 😉

Before we knew it, the event kick-started with a warm welcome by the MC and speeches by Carlsberg Managing Director Soren Ravn & world renowned luxury label designer Dato' Professor Jimmy Choo

Josiah Mizukami was the MC for the night 🙂

Introducing the design of the Kronenbourg bottle 

by the official designer of L'aperitif fashion Teresa Thian

Closer look at it 🙂

Sucha sleek and chic design for a French beer bottle methinks

We media were then ushered to a private zone whereby the sneak preview of Gallo by Thian's live mannequin show was held. It features her Spring & Summer collection for 2012! 

Ssssoooo cuuute! They were *actually* mimicking a real gardening routine

The first of its kind and inspired by Kronenbourg 1664's French Art of Pleasure, L'aperitif Fashion was launched with the unveiling of Gallo by Thian's concept designs by lead designer, Theresa Thian 🙂

Well-known for her chic, feminine and elegant designs, the design combines vintage with elegance; reflecting French sophistication. A bold fashuon statement that is seductively French infused with Malaysian elements

LOL candid photo of me snapping photos of the fashion show (while still drinking Kronenbourg LOL)

and Josiah grinning in the background

The VIPs, Theresa Thian, the models and the fashion mentors & icons of Kronenbourg's L'aperitif fashion

Watched the lovely and adorable live mannequin show, mingled with the crowd and sipped on more Kronenbourg draught. Too fun! Glad I bumped into many familiar faces too 🙂

Dato' Professor Jimmy Choo OBE (Order of the British Empire) and I

Just like my fellow Malaysians, I'm so proud of Dato' Jimmy, you have no idea!

Malaysian-born shoe designer hailing from Penang Island (hello, homeboy!) of Jimmy Choo couture fame – EST 1996 – is now based in London running his self-named luxurious designer shoe label, Jimmy Choo.

He has hand-crafted shoes to high-profile clientele such as the late Princess Diana and red-carpet celebrities across the globe. One shoe would cost at least RM3500 in my currency! To date, he has 140 stores in 32 countries worldwide. 

True story, bro

Haha enough gloating about how amazing he is!

Kronenbourg certainly made the right choice in appointing him as the mentor in the L'aperitif Fashion.

Way to go!

So much excitement 😀

And now it's time to chill by the balcony over some (more) drinkies and good food

Pam and I by the glass balcony

TAKE ONE 

TAKE TWO

TAKE THREE

Couldn't decide which one was better 😀 

Aaaaaaaaanyway, it was free-flow for a quite a number of hours so we just couldn't stop sipping the goodness of Kronenbourg. Pam and I both liked the Kronenbourg 1664 Blanc better due to its sweet, cidery after-taste!

The Blanc version is the one on the left 

But my guy friends prefer the original Kronenbourg 1664 

Perfect way to unwind on a Thursday night 

Amazing free-flow of draught & bottled Kronenbourg, fashionable crowd, tapas food, picturesque sky-high bar, so much catching up and camwhoring with my friends & fellow partygoers 🙂

Let the pictures speak for themselves!

Candid shot of Fay and I

He has continued making waves in the dubstep scene and house tracks locally too

Await an exclusive interview, dear readers! 😉

Anyway, housie Pam and I stayed at The View till past midnight. Kronenbourg's definitely had it going

So much going around to leave so early just yet, hey?

Totally unrelated photograph but this beer rack in spirals at The View bar caught my eye

Oh before I forget, I'd like to thank photographers Jaz Khai (the unwatermarked photos belongs to him), Vince Khoo and Feroze Roman for their photographs.

Thankew for the lovely photos 🙂 I didn't bring my DSLR to the event due to some unforseen circumstances 🙁

Thank you Kronenbourg, for a wonderful Thursday night out

That being said, congratulations on a successful L'aperitif Fashion launch in Malaysia!
