Chances are you have come across his designs when you surf the internet. An enfant terrible, Masyadi Mansoor is no stranger to Malaysia, thanks to his norm-defying designs mattress-like outfit that set the internet in a frenzy. And now, the fearless designer is ready to take the fashion world of Malaysia by storm with his debut collection.
How did you embark on the journey of fashion design?
My journey in the realm of fashion started when I took the decisive step to pursue higher education in Fashion Design at Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM). This choice marked a significant turning point, opening the doors to a world of creative exploration and skill development I never expected. While at university, I actively participated in numerous design competitions. These platforms served as a crucible for testing and honing my design prowess.
How would you describe your designs?
It's like riding a wave of emotions. Some people might like it, while others might find it weird and confusing.
Congratulations on your debut collection at Kuala Lumpur Fashion Week 2023. What is the inspiration for the collection? For my debut collection at KLFW, I've named it "ATARAXIS," which embodies the concept of freedom from stress and anxiety. Whenever I find myself feeling overwhelmed or burnt out, I often turn to sunset view as a remedy. This experience has had a profound impact on me, and it's this emotional connection that has inspired my collection.
How does this collection differ from your usual designs?
"ATARAXIS" is a departure from my usual dark and black vibes. I've delved into a new realm of creativity by working with a colour palette that draws from the serene hues of the beach: greens, blues, and yellows. This marks a significant shift for me, as I've always been known for my darker aesthetics.
