TSO @ WPPM

The past week and a bit has been crazy. Apart from being deluged with orders for the upcoming peak wedding season, That Special Occasion also presented a fashion show at the opening night of the WPPM (Wedding And Portrait Photographers Malaysia) Conference last Friday. Other than That Special Occasion, Michelle Touche, Bella Rahim and Canon were also sponsors for that evening, with the latter hosting the event.

Whenever we have a choice, we very much prefer to have non-professional models to showcase our creations during a 'live' show. I feel it communicates a more realistic image, that of an everyday bride in a gown of ours. We do real gowns for real people so to speak, not just models who are in almost perfect proportions. Having said that, model Evon did a great job showing off 3 of our gowns during the various workshops at the conference proper. Workshops and seminars are where experienced models are necessary as facilitators for the presenters.

After the excitement of the weekend conference, it is now back to the grind of working towards delivery of a number of gowns for weddings from September onwards. I shan't complain though.
