The person behind the big name, Zang Toi.

Zang Toi
As I mentioned before in my first entry that I will show you to the big thing named Zang Toi, so here it is the next entry that will reveal the thing that you really have to know. In sharing the information about this particular person, I really need to be carefully taking care of the way I introduce him. I need to be considerate as I have taken some hint into my reminder that not everybody that is most of us really know about Zang Toi. It is so unfortunate for those never heard about this person as he is outstanding personnel for Malaysia. Here it comes, the big thing is already here.

Zang Toi, the name itself brings luck to him. His name given by his parent and in Chinese, the word 'Zang' itself gives a really good meaning that is 'Victory'. The name given is Toi See Zang while the world dub him as Zang Toi, a very outstanding fashion designer and every woman will surely stunned by his sense of fashions. This is not the thing that I adore him and I said it that way, no, his sense of fashion is really out of world. The idea in making the clothes, the design, the way he puts the idea in his mind onto a piece of paper is totally out-of-the-box!

The Directory
I want to highlight something here, it is crucial for us as Malaysian of course, he was born in a small village that is Kuala Krai in Kelantan. For those who come from this village, you should be proud of this person. Zang Toi is really proud of his born place and brings the name of Kelantan and Malaysia wherever he goes. He never feels it's a burden to bring the name of Kelantan the place of where he came from. In every year, he will have a short hols to return to his country, Malaysia, to spend time with his parent and his family. In his short responsibility-off duration, he will grab the opportunity to enjoy Malay Kelantan dishes and his mother's and sister's cooking.

From ordinary to extraordinary. It’s all I can say as he was a son to a local (Kuala Krai) grocer and the youngest of seven children, yet he changed his life by being responsible to his future and independently flied away from his childhood playground and made a history. Starting with a very humble beginning, he landed in New York during his early age of 20. He studied at Parsons School of Design. Few years later, he opened an atelier and Anna Wintour (US Vogue Editor-in-Chief) featured him in her magazine for the March 1990 issue. He became the first Asian that renowned by the well-known editor and his successfully career began since then.


“I always stay true to myself, and lead my own creative path!”
-Zang Toi

As you can read the words stated above, it is Zang Toi’s vision. We can see that to become a succeed person we really need to be true to ourselves and be creative. Remind yourself that to live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong. Learn from it. Never lose hope since we never know what will happen next. Based on what we can see from Zang Toi, he never get the idea on how high he can fly today. It is only the matter of from where and when we start, it is about now or never. Stop dreaming and make it real, dreams don’t work unless you do. Put it on your mind that the best is yet to come.

Bye-bye for now,
Tira Ichmael
