Set to make a striking return, Kuala Lumpur Fashion Week (KLFW) is reigniting its collaboration with Suria KLCC and KLCC (Holdings) Sdn Bhd to revive its iconic runway space in front of the PETRONAS Twin Towers. Scheduled from 4th to 10th August 2025, the 13th edition of this celebrated annual event is gearing up to be its most ambitious yet, showcasing over 55 designers and brands. The lineup includes a vibrant mix of seasoned industry veterans, emerging newcomers, and beloved fashion staples — all coming together for a bold celebration of homegrown style.
Now enhanced with a dedicated arrivals hall, the KLFW 2025 venue stretches across most of the Esplanade at KLCC Park. Housed within a sleek, monochromatic single-storey structure are the main show hall, runways, and various activation zones. While each show will host around 500 invited guests, fashion enthusiasts can still experience the excitement through a live runway broadcast, streamed exclusively on the venue’s large LED screen panel.
Bold collaborations take center stage at KLFW 2025, transforming the art of heritage textile custodians Muni and Sofia Iman who respectively spotlight natural dyes and traditional songket into showstopping runway pieces. Blending elegance and edge, womenswear label Larney delivers an exciting crossover with designer Afiq M, whose return to the all-black runway is amplified by a wave of much-awaited veteran revivals. KLFW 2025 is thrilled to welcome back Ezzati Amira, Hatta Dolmat, Maarimaia, Mimpikita, Neonate, and Private Stitch, whose collections will continue to push boundaries and elevate the fashion event’s diversity in style.
Ready to make a striking debut at KLFW 2025 are rising talents Akmal Hakim, ShazNash, Ugly Pretty, HUNTILANAK, and MOKJY, who will be joining established names like Outdwell and Doubleback on the runway for the first time. Adding to the excitement are much-anticipated first appearances by celebrated designer Radzuan Radziwill and bespoke couturier Teh Firdaus, both known for dressing A-list celebrities and royalty. The runway will also spotlight emerging designers Raja Irfan, Mei Mei, and Salahuddinhilmi in the “Design To Sustain” segment, following their standout performance and victory at the KLFW Designer Search 2024.
“After an iconic KLFW 2024, where we hosted 7 impactful days in our own purpose-built show space, we knew we had to return for another year. Staying true to our purpose to push fashion forward, KLFW 2025 marks an amplified comeback — with bigger ambitions, a head-turning lineup, bolder styles, trends, and world class fashion. While we may be the city’s leading fashion event, at its core, KLFW remains a community-driven movement — a synchronized collective powered by the passion and dedication of designers, sponsors, partners, and the fashion-savvy community,” shared Andrew Tan, Founder of Kuala Lumpur Fashion Week.
“Our vision is powered by the commitment of our sponsors Suria KLCC, KLCC (Holdings) Sdn Bhd, L’Oréal Paris, Poh Kong, MOCCONA, and vivo Malaysia. Made complete by the unwavering support of our partners and collaborators AirAsia, Laurier, GHD, Laurastar, Magnum, HMNS, Vida, AICB, Signature, Colgate, and Skechers, who join our official hotels, Mandarin Oriental, Kuala Lumpur, Traders Hotel Kuala Lumpur and Impiana KLCC Hotel in making KLFW 2025 a continued success,” he added.
“We are honoured to once again be the venue for Kuala Lumpur Fashion Week, following a successful debut at KLCC the Place last year. The return of KLFW reaffirms our commitment to positioning KLCC the Place as the centre of fashion, culture, and creativity in this vibrant city. As a partner, KLCC (Holdings) Sdn Bhd is dedicated in supporting this prestigious week-long event that celebrates the richness, diversity, and innovation of Malaysia’s fashion landscape. We look forward to another memorable KLFW 2025 at KLCC the Place.” shared Datuk Sr Mohd. Salem Kailany, Group Chief Executive Officer, KLCC (Holdings) Sdn Bhd.
Francis Tan, Executive Director and CEO of Suria KLCC Sdn Bhd, said, “As Malaysia’s iconic experiential shopping destination, Suria KLCC is proud to continue its collaboration with Kuala Lumpur Fashion Week; a platform that not only celebrates style but also drives Malaysian creativity onto the global stage. This year, we’re especially excited to present ‘Suria KLCC Presents Sofia Iman’, featuring one of our valued retailers, as the official opening show on 4 August. It will be Sofia Iman’s first appearance at KLFW, which makes this collaboration even more meaningful to us.
We’re also looking forward to welcoming renowned fashion duo Rizman Ruzaini to the Suria KLCC family, with their boutique opening in Q3 2025. It’s a proud moment to support local designers who have built such a strong name in fashion, and we’re excited to provide them a space where their creativity and legacy can grow even further. Suria KLCC will continue to be a place where fashion thrives – not just as retail, but as an experience.”
L’Oréal Paris Malaysia is honoured to be the Official Beauty, Makeup & Hair Partner for KLFW 2025; a platform that continues to celebrate bold creativity and diverse beauty. “This partnership goes beyond the runway; it is about empowering every woman to embrace her individuality and feel confident in her own skin. At L’Oréal Paris, we believe that beauty is a powerful form of self-expression, and through KLFW 2025, we are proud to help bring that vision to life. We will continue to inspire and empower women everywhere, especially in Malaysia, because we believe that everyone should confidently ‘walk their worth’ with L’Oréal Paris,” shared Khalil El Osta, Marketing Director, L’Oréal Paris.
