Kedah Fashion Week is back
Kedah is known as the Rice Bowl of Malaysia, but did you know that more fashion designers from this state in the northwestern part of Peninsular Malaysia are making waves in the fashion industry?
Guests and media were recently invited to an exclusive sneak peek of Kedah Fashion Week (KFW) 2023 at Collab Store, Shoppes At Four Seasons Place, Kuala Lumpur, where they were the first to discover the lineup of local and international designers who will set the trends at this upcoming event.
The much awaited KFW 2023, which is set to take place from August 4 to 6, is expected to be a dazzling three-day fashion extravaganza that will celebrate all things fashion in this northern region.
With the theme “Big Bang”, this star-studded event promises an intense level of glamour, unforgettable experiences, and visually stunning showcases that will surpass prior editions.
The sixth edition of KFW will build on the momentum of last year’s triumphant return after a brief hiatus, contributing to the local fashion industry and tourism while fostering job opportunities with the opening of new lifestyle brands at Aman Central, which will be an enriching experience for shoppers.
This event will feature both emerging and established local and international designers, fashion labels, and lifestyle brands.
KFW 2023 will be held in Aman Central. Renowned as the most frequented shopping complex in Kedah, it has experienced a remarkable footfall traffic growth, recovering to 95 per cent of its 2019 shopper count.
“Our commitment extends beyond the hosting of exhibitions,” said Belleview Group director Grace Ho.
“We are dedicated to fostering collaboration between esteemed brands and a talented pool of international and local designers. By providing a dynamic space for these creative forces to converge, we inspire innovation and push the boundaries of artistic expression. Get ready to immerse yourself in the most daring and captivating fashion event in the northern region.”
From modern minimalism, avant-garde flourishes and intricate traditional Kedah garments to quiet luxury and high-end jewellery, this year’s event promises to be an exploration of the northern region’s diverse fashion identity.
Ikmal Mukmin of Gens Great Idea and Jeremy Lim of YT Label will go on this journey as the state’s adventurous introduction.
This thrilling journey will pave the way for bold Malaysian designers like Asyraf Arrif, Ezuwan Ismail, Anuar Faizal, Teddie Alrashed for Bleu Natar, and Oscar Lee for Outdwell.
Local fashion veterans will be headlined by ByTwoo, Daniel Zharif, Dee Roslan, Salleh Hamid, Amaze, Naemah Khuntum, Hasfitri Yusof, Wan & Mary, and the stylish duo of Seth&Luna.
Kanapot Aunsorn from Thailand and Yadanar from Myanmar are also taking part in the fun.
There will also be a showcase of the latest collections from Aman Central tenants such as Bonia, HLA, New Era, Tomei, ICAHFA, D’yana, Elrah Exclusive, and LokalTeez.
“Since 2016, we have been at the forefront of promoting diversity while creating job opportunities for Malaysians in the fashion industry,” said Lawrence Teh, Belleview Group chief operating officer (retail and commercial).
“Fashion is inherently individualistic, serving as a form of self-expression. With this understanding, we strive to cater to every stylistic preference and taste, showcasing the creations of over 15 talented local and international designers.”
