IT seems that fashion is indeed a lifestyle. Property developer KSK Land has recently unveiled an exciting exhibition, one that features the country’s most prominent designers.

Curated exclusivel­y for 8 Conlay, KSK Land’s maiden project, Confluenti­al 3.0: Pret-A-Porter celebrates the coming together of lifestyle, fashion and luxury in Kuala Lumpur.

It showcases select works by Han Chong (of the London-based label Self-Portrait), Khoon Hooi, Joe Chia, Jonathan Liang, Ezzati Amira, Kittie Yiyi, Cassey Gan and Moto Guo.

Coined by 8 Conlay’s luxury hospitalit­y partner Kempinski Hotel, the term “confluenti­al” is said to describe the distinct marriage of confluence, confidence and influence.

With their vision and creativity, this instalment’s inimitable line-up of designers embodies the theme completely. The showcase pays tribute to their increasing presence in the fashion industry.

“We are extremely excited to be celebratin­g these eight designers and the select works they have curated exclusivel­y for us,” commented KSK Group CEO Joanne Kua at the launch

“Through our ‘Confluenti­al’ exhibition series, we wanted to establish 8 Conlay as a stage for people to explore the confluence of cultures and narratives at home and around the world.”

Projected to be the next stage-maker in Kuala Lumpur, 8 Conlay comprises a five-star Kempinski Hotel, luxury retail quarters and two towers devoted exclusivel­y to YOO8 branded residences.

Open to the public until Nov 19, the exhibition features two looks from each of the eight designers. It runs from 10am to 5pm daily, across Levels 5 and 7 at Bangunan KSK, KL.
