Great photos from the ‘Pretty in White’ MIFA show by Celest Thoi
12 Nov
The grand finale!
As you all know, last week was MIFA (Malaysia International Fashion week), which turned Pavillion mall into a mad hub full of the who’s who, fashionistas, divas, models and media. The Wedding Guide was the online partner for one of the few bridal showcases, ‘The Celestial Collection’ featuring Pretty in White by Celest Thoi. I was also invited to be the emcee that day and albeit a few nerves here and there (the crowd was packed!), I think the show was a huge success!
Behind the scenes - models doing their touch up!
How would you describe your design style Celest?
I like my style to be simple and elegant… something that will accentuate the figure well. Celestial gowns (our premier range) are made with handmade detailing and embellished with Swarovski crystallized elements.

How long does it take to make a dress? How much extra is a made from scratch dress as opposed to one of the rack?
It takes about 4-6 weeks depending on the detailing and the extent of the embellishments.
For a Made-to-measure dress, you can basically get a dress/style that you have always dreamt of… but for off the rack ready-to-wear pieces, what you see is what you get. We can only alter it to suit your size ☺

Celest has spent months designing the collection (and juggling motherhood!)
