CELEBRATING its 10th year anniversary, the Mercedes-Benz STYLO Asia Fashion Festival (MBSTYLOAFF) will organise five nights of entertaining fashion shows and extravagant after-show parties at KL Gateway Mall in Bangsar South from May 2 to 6. Themed “50 Shades of Red”, it will pay homage to classic icons of fashion, TV and movies past and present.

“We started STYLO as a lifestyle event in support of the Malaysian F1 Grand Prix race 10 years ago, and I’m proud to say that it has gone on to become one of the most visible and anticipated fashion events in the region,” said Datuk Nancy YeohReissiger, the President & CEO of STYLO International and Chairman of MBSTYLOAFF.

The festival opens on May 2 with Fashion Oscars presents My Fair Lady, celebrating a night of glitz and glamour honouring the designers and their muses. On Day 2, Neutrogena presents Happy Skin featuring colourful, creative styles. Day 3 offers a glimpse into the dark side of fashion with a horror-themed night filled with sultry, goth looks in STYLO, The Fashion Slayer. Day 4 presents the dapper Mafioso Style of Men’s Fashion, inspired by the hit movie, The GodFather.

It culminates on Day 5 with the Scarlett Masquerade Ball, “Beauty and the Beast” and the MercedesBenz STYLO Awards Gala featuring six awards, namely Lifetime Achievement Designer of the Year, Most Promising Designer, Most Creative Influencer, Best Designer Showcase of the Year and Industry Award to honour the best performers and most promising names and contributors to the local and Asian fashion scene. – Nur Shahirah Mohd
