KUALA LUMPUR, Aug. 11 -- Midnight may signal the end of a formal evening for some, but for local fashion designer Syomirizwa Gupta, it is where the real story begins.

His latest bespoke collection, The Sweetest Hangover 2026/27, unveiled on August 8 at Kuala Lumpur Fashion Week, captures the heady, unguarded glamour of the hours after a black-tie affair - when the ties are loosened, the lights dim, and style remains sharp even as the rules fall away.

"It's about that delicious blur between the night you remember and the one you'll never forget," Syomir told Malay Mail, describing the collection as "the afterglow, the laughter, the sparkle that lingers long after the music stops."
