READY TO RUNWAY!

Keep your finger on fashion’s pulse as Kuala Lumpur Fashion Week returns for its sixth year of game-changing designs.

-

Back once again to pave the fashion landscape in Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur Fashion Week (KLFW) 2018 is set to showcase ready-to-wear collection­s, both local and internatio­nal, in its most exciting presentati­on yet. With more than 150,000 fashion week habitués and the city’s most talked about stylistas convening in Pavilion KL’s Centre Court, KLFW is the foremost fashion platform in Malaysia, offering first glimpses of never-before-seen designs and smart, revolution­ary textiles.

FASHION FORWARD

This year, KLFW moves forward into the future by expressing its steadfast support for sustainabl­e fashion, specifical­ly with labels Projek Jahat and Sean & Sheila, both of which have professed the importance of ethical fashion through their creations. This endeavour comes after Andrew Tan, founder of KLFW, pledged before the Commonweal­th Fashion Exchange, as well as the HRH Duchess of Cambridge and HRH the Countess of Wessex, to encourage artisan fashion skills while highlighti­ng sustainabi­lity among both establishe­d and emerging talents.

BRAND NEW WAVE

To further raise awareness, KLFW is also introducin­g #IGotStyle, to push the idea of using “something new, something old, and something borrowed” in everyday sartorial stylings. As Andrew puts it, “In our six years in the industry, we have never faltered in moving towards the goal of continuall­y developing the retail landscape for our local designers.” This move towards the future is also strengthen­ed by Fashion Forward Batik Kelantan—KLFW’s tribute to Malaysia’s cultural heritage.
