Kuala Lumpur Fashion Week, held in August in Kuala Lumpur, capital city of Malaysia, is a series of summer events (generally lasting five days) where international fashion collections are shown to buyers, the press and the general public.[1][2][3][4][5]
Kuala Lumpur Fashion Week was created in 2013 as a platform for Malaysian designers to present and showcase their ready-to-wear collections, with the hopes of highlighting the strengths and creativity of Malaysia's Fashion Industry to local and international consumers.[citation needed] Kuala Lumpur Fashion Week is held at the Pavilion Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia in August and attracts more than 150,000 people.[6] Kuala Lumpur Fashion Week is reserved for fashion professionals and can only be attended by invitation or accreditation.[citation needed] Journalists, bloggers, and buyers are accredited by the organizers of the event and the ready-to-wear brands who select any guests they choose to invite. Each year, organizers decide which five brands will present their collections while featuring a mix of other exciting designers. KLFW showcases designs never seen before, providing viewers with a first-hand look at designs.[6]
