Some of you have waited long enough for this to happen and now its finally here.

Yes, Streething is proud to bring you the Kuala Lumpur’s leg of the G-Shock ‘Shock The World Tour.

Apart from showcasing upcoming G-Shock collections and performances from local artists Arabyrd and Joe Flizzow, the event highlights will include the unveiling of local collaboration watches as well as a special appearance by Mr. Kikuo Ibe – founder of the G-Shock division.

The collab series will sport a version of the DW-5600 by Streething, a DW-6900 by local designer Stephen Lau and an exclusive ‘Shock The World Tour’ Kuala Lumpur edition‘.

Casio is now having a retail promo, whereby any purchases made on Casio G-Shock watches are entitled to TWO entry passes for the event. They’re limited in quantity and will be given out on a first-come-first-serve basis.

The G-Shock ‘Shock The World Tour’ Kuala Lumpur will be happening on July 23rd at The Mainroom, Zouk Club KL, 113 Jalan Ampang, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Admission is strictly by invitations only.

The retail promo is applicable at:

G-Factory, Lot F1.82 Level One, Sunway Pyramid, Petaling Jaya, Selangor, T +603 5637 5537;

In no time, the ground floor of the High Street section in One Utama will be transformed into a paper wonderland as Antalis Paper Fantasy unfolds. This exhibition, organized by Antalis Malaysia, aims to showcase the endless possibilities of creative paper usage by fusing design, architecture, art and fashion into a visual and tactile experience.

Antalis Malaysia is the subsidiary of Antalis Group, the number one ranked paper distributor in Europe. Some of the most recognizable paper brands distributed by Antalis are the Conqueror, Curious, Rives and Cocoon papers.

The theme of the de-greening of the environment provides the backdrop for the exhibition, thus, the exhibition will be set up in a fantasy, almost harsh, white environment to illustrate how we might actually lose our warm, green world if we handle our natural resources carelessly.

The exhibition will be built to showcase large-scale paper architecture, sculptures and models. The very structure and walls themselves are made from paper – crumpled, folded or rolled to bring out the best textures and shapes. At the heart of the exhibition is 4ft tall paper unicorn, flanked by a landscape of 15 paper trees contributed by various local designers and design schools. Other exhibited components include paper lampshades, origami and printed samples.

Local fashion designer Micky Tan (MT Fashion Studio) has been roped in to create a series of paper fashion for this event, with scheduled fashion shows running on both 17 and 18 July.

This exhibition is under the creative direction of Figtree Design. They are working in collaboration with paul+pris, an interior design duo who are designing the exhibition space, the interior and its products.

Antalis Paper Fantasy exhibition will run from 16 -18 July 2010 at The High Street, Ground Floor, One Utama.
