Once upon a teen, a 15 years old, Spice Girl obsessed, Teen Vogue reader, told herself that her fashion brand will be in Vogue by the age of 30. Fast forward to 20 years later, 10 years of understanding and still learning the business, Na Forrér made it to the pages of @britishvogue April 2020. Thank you all for supporting Na Forrér since day one and to that 15 year old for being ambitious! #naforrer10 #designofadecade #naforrer #britishvogue taken in Conde Nast Publications by @naforrer

A decade may seem a long time and naturally, some may have the impression that the business should be matured by now. Well, tbh I think 10 years felt like 10 months. Still more to do, more to learn, more to accomplish. 
Being a self taught designer, I experienced a lot of hiccups, not understanding curbs of the business, the do’s and don’ts. Instead, I was drawn towards passion where risks are taken and bad decisions are made. At times, there are days when the super ambitious me is pumped and want to do all at once and some days, I feel like an imposter thinking “who are you calling designer?!” Amidst all that, one thing I constantly find comfort in is to be forever grateful of the opportunities that has been presented to me, to dress my supportive clients and to be able to live day by day with people I love. This post is an “I am grateful and Thank You” post for making this girl’s fashion design dream come true. .

I was invited by the Global Thai Silk Association in Bangkok to design a piece that brings together Thai silk and our traditional Malay textile, songket, for the Global Thai Silk Celebration 2026.

For this design, I wanted to explore something that connects us as Southeast Asian women, a shared sense of culture and belonging.

My inspiration came from the kipas, the traditional hand fan. Something so simple, yet so familiar to many of us. Whether carried as an elegant accessory at gatherings or simply used to keep cool in our tropical climate, the kipas has long been part of our everyday lives.

I wanted to reinterpret its beautiful shape through a contemporary silhouette, using black Thai silk to create sculptural, fan like folds that open to reveal the metallic blue Malay songket.

After years of designing, I find myself increasingly drawn to exploring how heritage can evolve through contemporary fashion, without losing the stories and traditions that make it meaningful.

Truly honoured to represent Brunei Darussalam and showcase this creation at the Global Thai Silk Celebration, Siam Paragon, Bangkok, from 11–18 October 2026. #thaisilkcelebration #naforrer taken in Na Forrér by @naforrer

Choose that Marketing degree 🤍
Funny how I chose it instead of fashion but years later, it became one of the things that helped me build a fashion business. Add a corporate background into the mix and somehow it all made sense eventually. taken in Na Forrér by @naforrer

Six years of ideation. Six months of writing code. One transformative milestone.

We joined the BICTA @bicta.bn Startup category seeking fresh feedback and market validation. To walk away with the Merit award has been an unexpected and deeply humbling experience.

Haus of Nahkya @hausofnahkya was born from the desire to create a premium, experience led fashtech platform. We are moving beyond the traditional to combine fashion, textile craftsmanship, digital technology and shared experiences. 

To our Tech Lead/Textile Designer, Adika @themahkotadesigns , Thank You for architecting the platform and turning a six year dream into a tangible reality. To Efah, @littledayangofficial our QA lead, thank you for the constant support and your unwavering belief in our direction.

We are here to transform a simple scarf into a personal story, a shared moment and a crafted memory. 

Thank you to everyone who believed in us. The digital atelier is just getting started ✨

Monochromatic monograms meet refined textile artistry in a piece designed to elevate the everyday. An alternate way of personal styling. 

A personal mark, translated into a statement of modernity.

For years, women’s workwear has been uninspired either too rigid or lacking the structure needed to truly lead a room. At the NA FORRÉR Atelier, we believe your wardrobe should be your sartorial armor.

This bespoke tier is dedicated entirely to the psychology of power dressing. We focus on the exact millimeter of a padded shoulder, the depth of a trouser pleat and the fluid drape of a fabric that respects your modesty without sacrificing edge. It is the perfect tension between structural and femininity.

When a suit is engineered specifically to your proportions, it physically changes how you walk into a room.

We are officially opening our September calendar for exclusive Bespoke Power Commissions.

Between flights, business meetings and daily prayers, we need a wardrobe that actually keeps up. 

The market is still missing that perfect sweet spot so, I’m co-engineering a first capsule collection specifically for this lifestyle. The mission is simple: a modular wardrobe designed to seamlessly work, pray, and move.

From a designer’s perspective, this is all about the architecture of the garment. We’re focusing on heavy, 100% opaque fabrics, oversized silhouettes that refuse to cling, and layers that look highly editorial but are instantly prayer-ready.

Swipe through to see the fashion DNA of what we are building. I want this to be our ultimate modest uniform, which means this is still under research stage and I want to co-design this with you.

16 years in this industry and fashion still finds new ways to excite me✨

I am deeply grateful to have stepped into the role of Creative Director for Shah Indra’s “Syair Putra” collection, my very first time directing a full menswear line in my career.

Translating the essence of Syair Putra into a wearable narrative was a truly inspiring journey. 
The collection takes inspiration from classic Malay poetry, weaving modernity with rich cultural storytelling, highlighting tailoring, silhouette, flow and purposeful textile choices.

It was an absolute pleasure bringing this vision to life alongside my talented designer friend Afiz Yassin @afizyassin who was a co-designer for the collection. Collaborating with such creative minds reminded me why I fell in love with this craft in the first place.

A huge congratulations to Pg Azlan Shah @theazlanshah and the entire Shah Indra @shahindra.bn team on a stunning showcase! 

Every project continues to fuel my passion for this business and I’d love to help build yours. 
Whether you are a designer brand or a corporate entity looking for creative direction, my 16 years of experience spans the entire journey from concept design and branding to fabric consultation, wardrobe styling, and end-to-end presentation showcases. 

DM or email directly to discuss how we can collaborate on your next vision. 📩✨ by @naforrer
