Moët & Chandon x Pharrell Williams Collab On The Ultimate Birthday Gift
We're getting all bubbly! When it comes to celebration, Moët & Chandon has always been more than a champagne. It is a symbol, a ritual, a spark that elevates any moment worth toasting. Following its global debut in March, the iconic French champagne Maison is delighted to unveil its latest collaboration in Malaysia: the Moet & Chandon and Pharrell Williams Limited Edition Collection, putting birthday celebrations centre stage. Driven by shared values of optimism, generosity, and human connection, Moët & Chandon and multi-talented creative Pharrell Williams have come together to reimagine these special moments through the eyes of those who celebrate you. The Maison and Pharrell's shared vision of collective joy is at the heart of the collaboration, aimed to create moments that are both universal and deeply personal, where every detail is crafted to honour those who gather to celebrate. Each day, 22 million people around the world mark their birthdays, a ritual filled with the joy and gratitude of those who make the occasion unforgettable. Whether or not you enjoy celebrating your own birthday, we all enjoy celebrating the people we love. It's not about the gift, but who is giving it. Not the party, but who shows up. And, it's not about the bottle, but whom you share it with. 'The best part about a birthday are the people who want to celebrate it with you,' says Pharrell. 'When I was old enough to toast with champagne for the first time, Moët & Chandon was my point of reference. I suppose it's just a tradition, it's the ritual.' Moët & Chandon Reimagines Celebration At TREC KL Moët & Chandon brought the campaign creative expression, 'Let Us Celebrate You' vividly to life through a spectacular, one-night only unveiling party at ZEST Club, located in the heart of TREC KL, capturing the essence of meaning connections and joyous moments. Guests entered a space bathed in rich midnight-blue hues honouring this Moët & Chandon limited edition collection. Against the stunning backdrop of Kuala Lumpur's skyline stood an impressive champagne tower, artfully stacked with Moët & Chandon bottles and glasses – symbolising countless Malaysian cherished toasts and joyful moments. At the centre of it all stood the Moët & Chandon x Pharrell Williams Brut Impérial Bow Creation, a captivating 1.5L magnum adorned with an oversized, intricately crafted bow. A sumptuous banquet, styled with lush drapery and vibrant blooms sets the stage for an evening of sensory surprises. Guided by charismatic performers, guests embarked on a playful culinary journey: each dish cleverly disguised with unexpected flavours and local twists, from a deconstructed laksa disguised as a sunny-side-up egg to bite-sized takes on Malaysian street favourites, offering a fresh reason to toast at every turn. 'At Moët & Chandon, we believe celebration shines brightest when shared with the people who show up. Through this collection with Pharrell Williams, we invite Malaysians to celebrate meaningful connections, whether it's a birthday, an impromptu get-together, or simply the joy of being together, and let Moët & Chandon be the champagne that honours every one of those moments.' says Laura Drozdowski Lot, Marketing Director of Moët Hennessy Southeast Asia. The Design Behind The Moët & Chandon x Pharrell Williams Collaboration To create a distinctive and unique design for everyone's birthday, Moët & Chandon and Pharrell Williams delved into the archives of the House and found that, what today is the iconic tie on the bottle, was a bow in 1889. The bow symbolising togetherness, generosity, joy and surprise is one of the key elements of this Limited Edition Collection. The Limited Edition: Brut Impérial (Gold, Blue, and Red) The box and bottleneck of Moët & Chandon's most emblematic champagne, Brut Impérial, are dressed in Gold, Midnight Blue and Deep Red. Pharrell signs his creations with white dotted lettering similar to pearls on the box and directly on the bottle. He also transforms the bottle's red royal seal into a pearled monogram of his initials, PW, interconnected and round. The Moët & Chandon x Pharrell Limited Edition Collection is available in Malaysia, at selected participating retail stores and high-energy outlets.

#SHOWBIZ: KLPAC to stage 'Anak-Anak Malik' a local adaptation of 'Bernarda Alba'
KUALA LUMPUR: The classic Spanish play 'The House of Bernarda Alba' is set for an all-Malaysian adaptation, 'Anak-Anak Malik', hitting the stage at the Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre (KLPAC) from July 24 to 27. Directed by Christopher Ling and adapted by Yusof Bakar, this production features a clever twist: an all-male cast of 10 that Malaysianises Federico García Lorca's original, all-female play. In a statement released yesterday, Ling explained that 'Bernarda Alba', which has previously been staged at KLPAC, is a gripping narrative about the oppressive social norms a matriarch imposes on her five daughters. The original play, written in 1936, depicts a widowed Bernarda Alba exercising absolute control over her five daughters, exploring themes of repression, passion, and conformity. Ling elaborated on the adaptation: "This time, we have a patriarch named Malik who orders his five sons to mourn for 100 days and forbids them from leaving home." "And, as expected, tension slowly builds, resistance ensues, and tragedy strikes," he added. The play will be performed in Malay with English subtitles, featuring a cast including Aidil Rosli, Ammar Aqsya, Aniq Syahmi, Asraf Zulk, Danish Zakwan, Mark Beau De Silva, SaifulWazien, Sudhan Nair, Sunio Rushairi, and Ubai Talib. Performances are at 8pm and 3pm. For further enquiries, please call 018-227 7212.
