// Khoon Hooi gown //

I took out this gorgeous Khoon Hooi taffeta gown to the Elit Vodka cocktail party to celebrate their award as “Best Vodka of the Year.” Think lots of custom cocktails and chic evening attire at Zero Bond. It feels brand new to dress up in something so special. There’s something about the color lavender that made me gravitate towards this dress, and the story behind it. Khoon Hooi is an amazing couture designer from Malaysia. While half of my family is in Kuala Lumpur, it’s so nice having something so beautiful from Malaysia right here in my closet in New York. I love how our worlds and cultures can really come together thanks to one dress.
