Fashion Week returns to Pavillion Kuala Lumpur this month

Kuala Lumpur Fashion Week (KLFW) returns for the tenth year this month after two years of the pandemic.

KLFW will feature more than 40 local designers’ ready-to-wear collections on the runway from August 17 to August 21, 2022.

The show features a series of fashion events lasting five days where the Fashion Week ‘Runway’ Collections are shown to customers, buyers, the press, and the public.

KLFW was created in 2013 by Andrew Tan to encourage emerging designers to display their talents and showcase them to the world.

According to Andrew, KLFW set out three parameters. 

1. To create interest in Malaysian fashion
2. To bring awareness to the ready-to-wear collection as an addition to the Designers Made to Measure business model
3. To find ways through networking and knowledge sharing to maintain the viability of the Malaysian Fashion Industry. 

“I am proud to say that KLFW had achieved all three parameters we had set for ourselves,” said Andrew.

KLFW hopes to highlight the strengths and creativity of Malaysia’s fashion industry to local and international consumers in its tenth year.

This year’s showcase will feature familiar and new names, such as Farah Khan, Behati, Alia Bastamam, Kit Woo and many other designers.

KLFW is held at the Pavilion Kuala Lumpur and attracts more than 150,000 people.
