Biografi:

Na Forrer is a Bruneian fashion designer. She was born and raised in Brunei Darussalam. Farhanna Pura started her fashion label, NA FORRÉR in March 2010. Heavily inspired by Bruneian Malay and Chinese Heritage, Girl Power and the urban city, she designed for the classy but edgy modern muse, a woman who appreciates the arts, luxury of tailored pieces, capitalizing on slow sustainable fashion e.... She was influenced by 90’s pop culture, chic cities and the Spice Girl’s immaculate sense of style. Instinctively knowing that she would one day start a fashion business of her own, Farhanna went onto study Marketing in the United Kingdom at the University of Hertfordshire. After graduation, she started her career in Change Management. Farhanna observed how Corporate professionals dressed and was inspired by power dressing. She was intrigued by the potential of creating a fashion brand that would cater to versatility of women in different sizes as well as the subtle language of tailoring. Always on hand to assist clients with styling tips, sizing and measurements, color and fabric selections, Farhanna generously demonstrates her expertise and absolute commitment to achieving the client’s “gotta-have-it look”. She is known for creating an evening dress known as a “Baju Kebaya” – a common traditional womenswear worn by Malay women from Brunei and Singapore during formal events and festivities. The traditional corset crafted from traditional Bruneian Songket fabric is normally worn by brides and grooms for marriage ceremonies and on royal and state occasions. The boxy and high shoulder represents womens’ empowerment and modernity. The dress is made from a 100% wool crepe, featuring a hand-painted Euca silk designed by Lully Selb, and Bruneian Songket, a traditional material woven out of silk and cotton gold and silver threads.
