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.
