The buy at Ambre


I've been looking for a cool waistcoat for the longest time here in Cambodia. I've got one from Henrik Vibskob and I've been using it to dust. So I 'need' it talaga.

They have two styles that I like. This one is like a tuxedo type waistcoat. Japanese wool and silk satin lining. Mahalia Jackson, as what would Ms. Chuvaness say. Hehehe!

This is another style which is much more common yung design. The price is ok and it still uses a less expensive Japanese wool and the same silk satin lining.

I'l be using it a lot and abusing it so I opted to get this.

Ambre: Evening Wear Room





Ambre by Romyda Keth


The sitting area.

Her accessories section.

Jersey and silk dress in my fave color

She arranges her designs by room based on a certain color palette. This one is in blue to green

Easy tops.

Romyda Keth is possibly the most famous contemporary Khmer fashion designer. She studied in Paris and learned so much from there. It's the mixing of her Cambodian heritage and the best French technique that makes her designs very desirable for shoppers who like flirty, glam clothes. I met her and talked to her about a possible fashion show, end of the year, in Siem Reap. She's positive about it so I hope it pushes through.
