Something interesting that I stumbled across while googling. This is brilliant. I love what they did with their counters. Enjoy.
Design4retail did a remarkable job in developing and installing the Christmas brand event for Clarins across six key retail locations in Selfridges London, Manchester and Birmingham along with House of Fraser Glasgow and Manchester with Fenwick Newcastle completing later this week. What they did is they took the advertising visual which uses product design features such as branded ribbons & baubles, a concept created by the client and developed it into a 3D functional space which elegantly promotes and retails their coffret gift sets which are hugely popular at this time of year. The interior design consists of a 3 meter high tree which was produced using fabricated shimmering steel, cascading to look like ribbons of silk falling to the ground.

If you remember that I was molested at Mid Valley some time ago, I shared my stories with all the girl friends I know and one of my close client friend shared with me her friend’s story. It was way more worse than what I had been through.
My close client’s friend was at the same stairs as mine and she was pushed to the wall, her breast was grabbed and the molester ran away with her bag! It must be the same gang or guy as this incident happen just a few weeks before mine.
Then my friend said the poor girl shared her story with her cousin and guess what? She been through a rough incident too.
She (the cousin) went for a midnight movie with her bf. After the movie, both went to the car park to pick up their car. Two men knock the bf to unconscious from behind and then they use chloroform to the girl. Upon inhaling chloroform the girl fainted and she was dragged to the side and both of them start stripping the girl half naked. Just when one of the man was about to rape her, the bf gain conscious and he started shouting for help. Luckily there’s a few people walking towards the car park at that time and the kind people helped in catching the bad guys.
Why haven’t we read about this on the paper? Was it covered from the press? After all Mid Valley is a famous shopping destination and I’m not surprise if the management is working hard to prevent this incident spreading like wildfire to the public. After hearing all this I’m not feeling a bit safe going shopping alone or even with a bf on the tow. What is happening to the society nowadays?
Not sure how to write this post. It’s hard.
It was a beautiful day today. I woke up early to go for my quarterly check-up and blood test on Hyperthyroidism. After visiting the doc I rushed home to nasi lemak breakfast, put on my makeup, dress and drove to Mid Valley for Lancôme Virtuôse Drama Workshop.
I arrived just before registration time; 10.30am. I parked at Zone G Level 1 which is the exit floor. I got in to the shopping complex only realize the event is at Ground Floor. Escalator is quite far away. Maybe I’ll take the stairs, I think to myself. So I did.
I was in 4-inch heels. So I walk down slowly. I didn’t realize when this guy is behind me as I was concentrating so hard not to fell down the stairs. Normally I’d look back to see. This time I said to myself it’s OK. I reached the door and I pushed the door open. The door is heavy. As I was going pass the heavy door, I can hear that the one behind me rushed down quickly. I thought he is in a hurry. The next thing I know he stuck his hand in between my leg below my butt and grabbed me! I yelled at him. I even chased him and yelled “fucker”. He stopped and peeped at me just before that. He didn’t say anything or laugh which is normally what pervert or molester would do to mock their victim back.
I walked out to South Void and I stopped in the middle. I couldn’t walk over to Lancome booth. I felt lost. I felt vulnerable. I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t know who to talk to. I just stood there feeling lost. Then I took my phone and called one of my close friend; Vincent. He advised me to report to the security counter or lodge a police report downstairs. He said this guy must have been there harassing other people as well. So I did. The security people refuse to do anything. Their reply? “There’s no cases like this before”. That is why they refuse to believe this is happening at Mid Valley and refuse to take action!
I’m confuse. Should I be thankful or not be thankful? I’m thankful I was only grabbed and not rob. At this point of time I could only be thankful that my dress material is thick, I wear a thick safety pants as well and I wore a panty liner today. So he couldn’t feel anything but my butt. Mind you he stuck his hand IN BETWEEN my legs.
When I think back at what had happened, I get a chill down my spine. I carried my Longchamp LM tote bag today as I brought my E-P3 out to Lancome event. What if it’s robbery? I could have lost in the battle as I was hand carrying the bag. I’m thankful I still have everything with me. It was such a close encounter.
I can’t help but to think of those girls that hand carry their LVs or Guccis around. I think this is a bait for robbers to attack. Now I’m scared to carry my Longchamp in the future. I might sell this off. I don’t know. Till now I’m still feeling blur, hopeless and vulnerable. My friend was laughing at me at what had happened. I don’t think so this is a laughing matter. You’d never know what is it like until you gone through it. That is my advice. You may laugh but you’d get it soon.
