Hi Zorida,
I like Khmer’s traditional dresses at the Biff and Bill 2009. Some of the models look pretty, but i get to say most of them are too old to be fashion models and most of them are closed to their 30+ already. You should pick young models, should be in their 20′s, so they won’t have jelly arms like those ladies. They should the skinny one, not having fat legs like those models. I get to say also the next Catwalk, we should choose carefully your models and clothes for them. Learn and be up to date like Vietnamese, they get to sign contract with the Channel for 10 years. You know why, they get the contract, because they are up to date, they did good job choosing ellegant, simple and up to date fashion, these clothes can be wear daily or casual. Our dresses are in old fashion, not up to date and people can not wear casually. You get to make clothes for all people who want to wear not just for few people only.
I just want to share my opinion to you, so Khmer can be up to date with other countries, not to use old fashion that we are still behind everyone. Make something that poeple can wear daily or casual, simple dresses, elegant using silk to do it. I get to say white/pink rose dress that Chan Sovanna wore is very ugly and her armpit is damp nasty.
