Mohammad Hafizi Radzi Woo or better known as Fizi Woo is said to be
always on the lookout for an adventurous or experimental look when it
comes to his designs. Only 22 years old, this young designer is already
renowned for his depth and knowledge of batik fashion, as well as a
tendency to juxtapose female strength and fragility in his collections.
Commenting on his upcoming ready-to-wear designs to be featured in
MASiF 2011, he says, “I’ll be showcasing a collection that is very much
inspired by the feminine quality of a woman. I chose the theme ‘Noire du
Ballet’ which means ‘Black Ballet’ and like the dance, the designs are
meaningful and abstract, but associated with mystery and the darker side
of it all.”
He goes on to further explain that his designs are more structured,
clean and with little embellishments as he believes the finishing
touches to a look should be added in by the wearer.
But what about his view on style and aesthetics? “I am inspired by
Giorgio Armani, Chanel, Calvin Klein and Dior as their design aesthetics
are closely related to mine,” Fizi boldly states, adding, “If one is
fashionable, it doesn’t mean he or she has style. It is something that
only a lucky few possess and these are the trendsetters that keep the
fashion industry going.”
For sure, Fizi is no stranger to fashion design. His achievements
include Second Runner-up for Piala Seri Iman in 2009, Champion for Piala
Seri Iman 2010 and his latest, First Runner-up for Anugerah Khas Juri
Anugerah Pesona Tenun Kuala Lumpur Fashion Week 2011.
His experience with MASiF 2011 has turned out to be a surprise for
him. According to him, “I first thought it would be just like any other
fashion shows where a certain number of garments are requested to be
produced and showcased. But as more promos, interviews and buzz came
about, I began to realize the gravity of the event.”
He concludes by saying that although he’s excited about being seen in
MASiF for the exposure it brings, there is already a long list of other
projects he looks forward to in the near future.
“I have a couple of slots for the upcoming MiFA event and I’m also
competing for the Piala Seri Endon next. Hopefully, all these will lead
to bigger things in the coming years.”
