May Tan started off her label, Maarimaia with an aim to design for the modern working women on the go. Inspired by the independent spirit, the brand focuses on creating feminine silhouettes paired with artisanal handcrafted elements to form a cohesive wearable collection that is effortlessly timeless. The brand has recently set-up its first ever pop-up store and this week, May joins us as she gives us an insight into their brand philosophy and design inspirations. Later, Florence Song of ELLE Malaysia fills us in on a luxurious, leg-lengthening shoe trend that is making a comeback after a long hiatus; satin heels.
