The Opening of The 4th Amber Chia Academy & The 30th Birthday of Amber Chia @ Berjaya Times Square

Amber Chia Academy Amber Chia's brainchild. Amber Chia is no stranger to the Malaysian public. An internationaly renowned model and actress, and undoubtedly one of Malaysia’s most recognisable celebrity, her ascend to stardom was far from an overnight success but rather a challenging path of hard-work, trials, tribulations and a learning journey. Her’s experience from over a decade of being in the modelling industry, has given her a wealth of knowledge and the know-hows of the industry which includes not just all the demands of becoming a successful model, but also how to strike a balance in our every day life, including personal health, grooming and image. As most Malaysians would have already known, Amber became the first Asian model in history to win a global model search competition when she won the Guess! Timeless Beauty 2004/2005 title. Since then, her rise to stardom includes over 200 magazine covers, 2,000 runway shows and countless photo shoots for the top fashion brands and top photographers in the world, including the likes of Guess!, Jimmy Choo, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Cartier, Victoria Beckham and Gucci just to name a few.

The launch of the 4th Amber Chia Academy on 8th December 2011 coincided with the celebration of her 30th birthday. What a brilliant way to celebrate both life and success! I am greatly honoured and sincerely grateful to have been invited to this event. To brush shoulders with the big names of not only the Malaysian fashion and entertainment history but also with the big names on the international scene is indeed a great honour.

Amber Chia looked extraordinarily stunning, in a long sleeve fitting red dress. A simple, understated but yet glamourous look is perfect the event. Amber Chia, is without a doubt, Malaysia's most successful supermodel and I certainly know why!
