Look at him go! Meet Bernard Chandran, one of the most fashionable men in Malaysia, a fashion designer extraordinaire.
We caught up with Bernard at the official launch of Area27 recently.
Located on shopping street, Jalan Bukit Bintang, Area27 is a multi-label store-cum-hip showcase that defies traditional boundaries and re-defines high street fashion with an attitude.
A project by Bernard Chandran, Area27 presents ideal and artistic values and expression on fashion. Keeping with the unpretentious culture of this intelligent store, the merchandise represents the pop culture of the young and the fun-living.
Like pop art’s take on fashion, it includes popular designs, music of different genres that personify cult abstraction, objects of desire to icons, ‘villains’ and ‘heroes’. The labels that are sold here include the Puma Blackstation range like Alexander McQueen, Rudolf Dassler, Mihara Yasuhiro and Puma Area27 customised trainers.
Area27 views fashion through a more unconventional lens. The store-cum-gallery reinvents itself each season featuring clothes and accessories from off track around-the-world labels including Natalija Jansone, Butterflysoulfire, Ana Sekularac, Rajesh Pratap Singh, Riccardo Forconi, Suzanne Werson, La Boite as well as Area27’s own labels like Forknspoon, BCArea27, Animal Kingdom, Tanestrran2001, Skullarea, words and Negaraku and a variety of graphic t-shirts by up-and-coming designers.

As Bernard Chandran cited, Area27 is an inspiration and channeling the soul, passion and fire of the teenage spirit. “It is for the individual that would like to find respite from the mainstream but at the same time is unwilling to compromise on style. This is where fashion becomes personal to the individual.

ENJOY!
