Malaysia Fashion Week (MFW) 2015, a collaborative effort between Malaysia's national trade promotion agency MATRADE (Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation) and Malaysia's leading fashion event organiser STYLO International will be held from November 4 to 7, 2015 in Kaula Lumpur. The event promises to host ‘ground breaking’ fashion shows featuring designers from over 15 countries, a stylish gala event and a trade exhibition.
MFW connects trade buyers, exhibitors and designers from the ASEAN region and the world, while providing a platform to source and showcase the latest in fashion, accessories, footwear, cosmetics and the likes. The show consists of three core components: Malaysia Fashion Showcase (MFS), Mercedes-Benz STYLO Asia Fashion Week (MBSAFW), FACIT@INTRADE (short for Fashion, Art & Accessories, Cosmetics, Interior and Textile).
The fashion shows for Spring/Summer 2016 will feature Malaysian designers under the MFS banner, together with Asian designers under the MBSAFW banner. MFS unveils Malaysia's best collections and it's a celebration of Malaysia's fashion for the world. MBSAFW will see more than 60 designers from over 15 Asian countries showcase their collection using MFW as its Asian platform. It is a trade fashion event headlined ‘ASIA for ASIA’, which portrays a fusion of Malaysian, Asian and Western influences.
FACIT@INTRADE is the lifestyle component of MATRADE's trade initiative. A successful national and international trade exhibition that has been running for the past eight years, the event is aimed at positioning Malaysia as the region's leading destination for fashion brands, accessories, textiles, cosmetics and personal care.
India is Malaysia's largest trade partner in South Asia with a steady growth of bilateral trade over the last decade at an average rate of 14.6 per cent. This strong relationship between the two nations was further elevated in 2011 with the signing of the Malaysia-India Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement (MICECA), which covers all aspect of trade and investment cooperation between the two countries. As part of the initiatives to boost trade between the two nations, the event has called upon Indian importers and buyers to register under its International Buyer Meeting (IBM) programme, held concurrently with MFW.
