Prestige (Malaysia)

The State of Fashion

-

The global fashion indusTry is a US$ 3 trillion business and this year the spotlight has been cast on emerging markets in Asia as new fashion players assert their strength on a global scale. This unpreceden­ted shift also marks a new era for young Asian designers to finally come into their own, bringing meaningful representa­tion to the term diversity.

Just a few days after we’ve wrapped up KL Fashion Week 2018, we invited four promising young designers who have carved out a niche in the local fashion scene to interview veteran designers of their choice. It certainly proved to be an interestin­g session as it was a rare opportunit­y to hear what the seasoned designers have to share from their years of experience.

By uniting the trailblaze­rs of the industry with young talents who will shape the future of fashion, I am proud that we have played a part in providing a platform for the designers to delve deep into their thoughts and hold an insightful discussion on what it truly takes to run a sustainabl­e fashion business. I hope one day we will be able to take this discussion on to a larger scale platform where creative talents can converge under one roof.

The constant evolution of the fashion world is also a point of view shared by our cover personalit­y Su-Quinn Teh, as she chooses to embrace individual­ity while staying true to her creative spirit.

Enjoy,
