Musa has basically switched what I can say as almost 90% of the rather 'underground' designers to exciting and relatively well known cult labels which cater to both ladies and men. The long wait has ended and we shall celebrate and rejoice as I firmly believe it is the first time such labels to be available in Kuala Lumpur!
First and foremost, the boutique has managed to bring select pieces from Gareth Pugh SS 2011... I reckon lots of people are already aware of the rock and roll/ cyberpunk aesthetic (as Divinitus had pointed out to me in my Gareth Pugh showroom post) which remains true to GP's design philosophy. Shiny slashed leather tights as shown above can look amazing on tall lithe individuals like Musa's owner Nazreem Musa himself...
Leggings with precision-cut leather panelings and skinny jeans with fabric details certainly caught my attention...

DRKSHDW by Rick Owens made its debut presence at Musa with his dark brooding aesthetic that this label and Gareth Pugh might have in common. Interestingly enough while in Paris I found out that GP and RO were almost like sister labels whereby they both have a similar customer base, with one customer hopping off from GP showroom to RO and vice versa..A floor-length top that again, only certain people with infinite height can get away with...
A billowy asymmetrical top that clearly has been ripped off by a lot of high street labels...
I like to believe that finer things in life come in the forms of this beautifully tailored cut-out blazer and also a silky smooth top with pleated sleeves...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Another cult label making its way to this boutique is none other than MM6 by Maison Martin Margiela. For this season MM6 provides us with simple functional basics like this champagne-colored oversized cardigan...
And this seemingly simple white tee that upon closer inspection is not simple at all as it can be worn in at least THREE different ways...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Raf by Raf Simons also adds to the already burgeoning list of cult designers at Musa. A rare occasion it is as finally gentlemen can have their fair share here with these crisp classic shirts and also a black-and-white floral print T-shirt...
To be continued....

Very nice. Is MUSA testing out the market by bringing the 'most affordable' pieces from those labels? Its not easy to wear those type of clothes without having those clothes wear you.
hehe thanx to u, i ve just purchased the white tee that can be worn in many ways, i love it so much i got the neck altered myself from round to V . taadaaaaa :)
Went to the store last week. Didn't really find anything suitable but the sales staff was exceptionally helpful and informational. Kudos to them! :)
ps. Hopefully they will bring in a better and wider selection of shoes next time round
Muib: have fun wearibg the MMM in various fun ways! So jealous because my body can't work the large size of the shirt.
Mystical: I also hope that the have more selection on guy's footwear especially the 'dandier' types. But keep informed who knows your request will be heard!
