Fashion Update: 8 Malaysian fashion designers you should know
You may be well-versed in the big names, but did you know some of them originated from a place much closer to home?
Malaysia, a country boasting of different cultures, diverse landscapes and distinct fashion styles. It is definitely a place not short of fashion designers, and is slowly but surely making its mark in the international fashion world. What’s interesting is that each has their own take on fashion, with various multiethnic and multicultural influences shaping their clothing designs as well. We don’t know if you’ve noticed, but Lady Gaga is one of the biggest supporters of a Malaysian fashion brand herself.
You might be familiar with names like Alexander Wang and Vivienne Westwood, but we think it’s time you got to know some local ones too. The best part is that they all have stores at home, so you won’t have to worry about online shipping and all that trouble. Head up to the gallery to learn more about the local fashion scene, one designer at a time.
