Malaysian fashion label Rizman Ruzaini is going global! The local designer duo recently shared new plans for their fashion brand, which includes opening their first boutiques in Dubai and Indonesia later this year!
The dynamic duo, composed of Rizman Nordin and Ruzaini Jamil, recently held their Raya Open House, where some of Malaysia's biggest stars were in attendance. The guest lists included the likes of singers Mimifly, Hael Husaini, Nadeera, and Diana Danielle. During the event, the two designers spoke about their brand, revealing that Rizman Ruzaini is preparing to open their first international boutiques in Dubai and Indonesia later this year.
Rizman explained that the two have always dreamt of going global with their brand, saying, 'Whenever there is a chance to put our brand on the global stage, we (Rizman Ruzaini) make sure to carry the Malaysia name along.'. He added that the designer duo have been dressing local celebrities for years, so they have a bigger mission to see more international celebrities donning the brand.
As part of their goal to go global, Rizman Ruzaini will open their first boutiques in Dubai and Indonesia. There is no exact opening date yet, but the designers said the boutique will open its doors this year. Dubai and Indonesia are strategic locations in the international fashion industry. The designers also said they have many fans from the Middle East, so the new boutique will help meet the demand there.
Rizman Ruzaini is also no stranger to the Dubai fashion world, having launched two collections at Dubai Fashion Week. Their Spring/Summer 2024 collection runway show in 2023 even featured legendary supermodel Naomi Campbell. A few months after the show, the model would wear another custom Rizman Ruzaini piece at the Red Sea Film Festival 2023 in Jeddah.
Another international star who has worn the Rizman Ruzaini label is Lady Gaga. The pop star stunned in her custom piece at her Las Vegas show in 2024. Given where they stand in the fashion world, we're sure Rizman Ruzaini can go even further with their brand – and we'll support their every move!

Ex-Category III star Amy Yip marks 59th b'day in HK, receives award from M'sia
Former Category III star Amy Yip was given the Actress of the 80s Era laurel by the Malaysia Dato Foundation earlier in January. Photo: China Press Former Category III actress Amy Yip recently marked her 59th birthday in style with a party at the luxurious Four Seasons Hotel in Hong Kong. The occasion drew a host of high-profile figures – including actors Bowie Wu and Raymond Wong, Emperor Capital Group chairperson Daisy Yeung, the mother of acclaimed actress Charmaine Sheh and more. Adding a fun touch to the night, Yip wowed guests with a lively performance of the 1980s classic It's A Small World , originally sung by Priscilla Chan. She also turned heads with two looks – one featuring a platinum blonde bob and black dress, reportedly inspired by American pop icon Lady Gaga's Poker Face era, and another with a neat updo and sparkling sequin dress, channeling the playful energy of Tinkerbell. In a speech, Yip said she threw the grand bash simply because she wanted to have fun and celebrate with all her friends. 'I believe that when you're kind to others, it will come back to you. Seeing so many guests dressed beautifully to attend my birthday party… I feel so touched,' she added. As for the highlight of the night, it came when Yip's Malaysian business partner Evian Chong took the stage to personally present her with the Most Influential Actress of the 80s Era award. The honour was bestowed by the Malaysia Dato Foundation, which celebrates the contributions of various individuals in their respective fields, earlier in January. 'I came from the film industry, but after meeting Evian, I got the opportunity to venture into the world of business and invest in hotels. I'll keep learning from her … This year has already been amazing, but I hope next year will be even better,' Yip said. For the record, Yip began investing in hotels after getting acquainted with Chong, managing director of Malaysian hospitality company Evians Holdings. The actress launched her first boutique hotel in Penang last year and has already invested in a second hotel in the state – a durian-themed establishment as she loves eating durian.
