#ShopeeRaiLokal Introduces Raya Stail Kita For All Malaysians, Fashion Show Celebrates Kek Lapis, Burnt Orange, and Tarakucha Retro

Shopee, the leading e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, on 5 March 2024, unveiled its #ShopeeRaiLokal Raya Stail Kita fashion show on Shopee Live, to inspire Malaysians nationwide to dress well and buy local. Themed ‘Tarakucha Retro’, Shopee collaborated with long-term sellers, celebrities, and influencers to style Malaysians for three 2024 trends this Raya: kek lapis, burnt orange, and nostalgia with a twist. 


“This fashion show is a love letter to the golden days of P. Ramlee and Saloma,” said Shopee Head of Marketing, Kenneth Soh. “By design, fashion, and beauty on Shopee is deliberately wholesome and inclusive for all Malaysians who need to balik kampung, pay respects to their elders, and attend Raya celebrations all over the country with dignity. With Raya Stail Kita, Malaysians can now dress with style and support their local sellers.”


Raya Stail Kita fashion show is the third chapter in #ShopeeRaiLokal, an episodic content platform to feature local sellers who build communities*. Ten Shopee muslimah fashion sellers, namely Ashikin Ahmad, Liyana Collection, Adnaa, Indah Pesona, Hernes, Inhanna, Zoe Arissa, Panda Eyes, Bayu Somerset, and Mikaseries by Zoey Rahman, and Habib Jewels joined forces in the spirit of gotong-royong to sponsor outfits and accessories to complete the looks.


Sponsoring brands lending their generosity to the event included beauty and skincare names such as Y.O.U, SimplySiti, SilkyGirl, Papa Feel, Mikaseries, lemooc, Emina, Dazzle Me, barenbliss, Alha Alfa, and AISASEA.


The curation of fashion runway’s looks was in line with the survey result from Raya Stail Kita study** covering Malaysian shoppers on the platform. The survey revealed that over 9 in 10 surveyed are driven to shop by coordinating looks with their whole family this Raya. Five in ten embrace the layer cake Raya trend, four in ten buy retro outfits and the remainder search burnt orange. 

Across the platform, Malaysians overwhelmingly prefer cotton (over 50%) as the fabric of choice, followed by silks (20%) and Songket (15%). A minority shop for brocade and organza. The top colours Malaysians are shopping for this Raya are: neutral tones (50%), then flaming vibrant colours like reds, oranges and gold yellow (30%), followed by solid dark greens and purples (20%).



A departure from run-of-the-mill fashion shows, Shopee’s runway slowed down the models’ catwalks to teach audiences nationwide how different garments could be styled from a variety of brands for each look to coordinate with their whole families. 


Body positive model Hikma Al Hassan headlined Shopee’ inclusive and affordable looks that were curated based on how Malaysians are shopping for their Baju Raya online. With its first look, Kek Lapis, Shopee called for Malaysians to experiment with unconventional layering of colors, prints, and textures. 


As popularized by Intan Najuwa at her wedding recently, Shopee then presented various ways to dress Burnt Orange this season for both men and women of various skin tones. The final look, Nostalgia Balik Kampung, encapsulated a rich tapestry of traditional and retro styles familiar to every Malaysian.


Kiffy Razak, Managing Editor of NONA, Hijabista, and Mingguan Wanita,  gave her styling advice on how Malaysians could tap into popular trends and dress up these looks: “Incorporating a dash of kek lapis color blocking, lively yet chic orange or nostalgia in one’s ensemble while integrating a bit of glam and a classic touch to perfect the look will provide an excellent nod to Raya trends this year. More importantly, it’s about interpreting and styling it in a way that reflects your best and true self as well as respecting values and cherished traditions you hold dear in celebration of Eid.”


Shopee is dedicated to offering a diverse and wholesome range of fashion choices for the whole family. Dato’ Jovian Mandagie, a Fashion Designer who also has Shopee Celebrity Squad store on Shopee, echoes this sentiment with his expert take: “Aidilfitri is a celebration of love and victory over Ramadan, whether you're at a kampung house or a city ballroom. Dress comfortably with modesty in mind. Avoid overdressing that will lead you looking like a Christmas Tree. When choosing baju Raya, prioritize comfort, and only follow trends if they suit your personality.”

Fellow Shopee Celebrity Squad, Zoey Rahman, Malaysian Actor and Founder of Mikaseries, gave his take on how to do Raya 2024: “I prefer classic Baju Melayu featuring a cekak musang collar and concealed buttons. I will style with instant sampin that can be ready within 2 minutes to complete the look. I like this outfit idea because it is classic suitable for Raya morning.”

Dermatologist-Backed Skincare Solution, CeraVe is now officially in Malaysia

CeraVe, the world's leading dermatological skincare brand, recently marked its official launch in Malaysia, making its products available at major pharmacies across the country. 


With a focus on addressing prevalent skin issues in Malaysia, such as sensitive skin, dry skin and atopic dermatitis resulting from damaged skin barrier, CeraVe introduces its six-core products to cater to diverse skincare needs.


CeraVe's journey began in 2005 with the recognition that dermatological skin issues often stem from decreased levels of ceramides in the skin resulting in disrupted skin barrier and this in turn causes skin dehydration, dryness, and irritation. Drawing upon this scientific understanding, a panel of certified dermatologists formulated CeraVe with human skin-identical ceramides (Ceramide 1, 3, and 6-II), fatty acids, and other lipids, delivered effectively through MultiVesicular Emulsion Technology (MVE). This innovative technology not only restores skin barrier function but also provides long-term moisturisation with just one use, helping to retain moisture for healthy and comfortable skin.


Ashlee Ng, General Manager of L’Oreal Malaysia's Dermatological Beauty Division, emphasised the importance of accessibility to dermatologist-backed products, stating, "With only one dermatologist for every 241,000 people in Malaysia, many individuals lack access to professional skincare recommendations. 


CeraVe, globally recognised for its efficacy in restoring the skin's natural barrier, aims to bridge this accessibility gap for Malaysians."


“As compared to regular moisturisers with a single release formulation, CeraVe’s unique MVE technology delivers and releases essential ceramides throughout the day after just one application, resulting in prolonged hydration. 


This helps with ensuring the skin is constantly hydrated and improving skin health. We are committed to expanding access to skincare products like CeraVe in Malaysia, while also empowering individuals with knowledge, as this will greatly contribute to improved skin health for many." Ng added.


The launch event featured a panel discussion focusing on the skin barrier's crucial role in maintaining overall skin health. Experts emphasised the crucial need to protect and restore the skin barrier, with poignant real-life accounts from individuals grappling with skin conditions like psoriasis and eczema reinforcing the necessity for effective skincare solutions. 


Furthermore, brand representatives elaborated on CeraVe's ground-breaking formulations and unwavering commitment to nurturing a healthy skin barrier.

The formulation of CERAmides with MVE technology led to the creation of CERAVE, an affordable, accessible, and therapeutic skincare solution for all. Developed and recommended by dermatologists worldwide, CeraVe offers a line of skincare products to help restore the skin’s natural barrier.

Moisturising Cream - Suitable for users who have dry to very dry skin, the moisturising cream provides 48-hour hydration.

Moisturising Lotion - Suitable for people with normal or dry skin, the lightweight oil- free formulation provides 24-hour hydration.

Foaming Cleanser - This gentle foaming cleanser removes dirt, oil, and makeup without making skin feel tight or dry.

Hydrating Cleanser - The Hydrating cleanser gently cleanses, removes excess oil, and refreshes your skin without disrupting the skin barrier.

AM Facial Moisturising Lotion - A broad-spectrum SPF 30 Moisturiser that provides continuous hydration and daily protection against UV damage.

PM Facial Moisturising Lotion - Hydrate, calm, and soothe your skin while protecting the skin barrier.

From 1st Mar until 3rd March, the public is invited to visit the Bookmark at APW Bangsar to explore CeraVe's product range, gain insights into the significance of restoring the skin barrier, and receive complimentary samples and gifts. Additionally, visitors can receive free skin hydration analysis and indulge in moisturizing hand massages provided by visually impaired masseuses.
