Over 50 designers from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) member countries and beyond convened for the ASEAN International Fashion Week, alongside more than 40 models from the ASEAN states. The event also attracted participants from Australia, the US, Italy, and the Netherlands.
The week-long event shone a spotlight on the close relationships within ASEAN and between the bloc and external nations through the medium of fashion. It provided a platform to showcase the exceptional creativity of fashion designers from the region and beyond, fostering connections between ASEAN and the global fashion industry. The ultimate goal was to encourage and support aspiring fashion talent, including designers, models, and creators, to gain a foothold on the international stage and propel ASEAN fashion onto the world map.
Hayden Ng, the founder of ASEAN International Fashion Week, emphasized the event’s broader objectives. “Our common goal,” he said, “is to strive for sustainability and work together to build a peaceful and fashion-forward world.” This inaugural fashion week is expected to become an annual fixture, according to organizers.
