Two-day international fashion and wedding extravaganza

ALL are welcome to attend a fashion and wedding show to be held on September 20 and 21 at Park Royal Hotel. The two-day clothes extravaganza has been organised by John Lwin and sponsored by Tiger Beer and Park Royal. Admission is free.
John Lwin said: “I have travelled to England, France and Italy for international fashion and wedding shows; they are grand and ostentatious. They impressed me. I will make it as grand as an international show — the fashion and wedding show will not be traditional.”
“The music at my usual shows has been piercing. I will change this because the music at international shows I have attended has been charming and melodious,” he added.
