There is unlimited potential in Islamic fashion and lots of opportunities to be explored.
One event which Malaysian designers should not miss is World Fashion Week (WFW) 2018, which will be held in Paris.
WFW was first introduced in 2010 in Shanghai, China with five designers from five continents.
The annual event has come a long way since and is expected to attract more than 110 countries from five continents this time around.
"Fashion forward Malaysian designers should make their mark in the international market and seize this opportunity to take part in this event.
"I recommend that those who are keen to venture beyond the shores of Malaysia to explore this platform,” said WFW chairman and founder Paco De Jaimes at the launch.

"It’s amazing to see how Islamic fashion has evolved here, with all the colourful and stylish headgears going with the modest and stylish Islamic attire.
"This is enough to show how fashion-conscious Malaysians are,” said De Jaimes after the official appointment of Puan Sri Shariffa Sabrina Syed Akil as WFW ambassador for Environmental Responsibility at Saloma Bistro@Matic in Kuala Lumpur.

There's genetically blessed, and then there's Adriana Lima. That impossibly perfect skin, those jet-black waves, the brows we'd kill for — you don't get to be Forbes' second-highest paid modeland reach legendary Victoria's Secret Angelstatus for nothing, after all. But for the most part, the supermodel has stayed out of the spotlight — until now. Lima is tacking on yet another line to her resumé and it's going to be good.
According to Hollywood Reporter, her new venture comes in the form of a Lifetime beauty competition series called American Beauty Star, on which Lima will host alongside a panel of judges, including Beyoncé's makeup artist Sir John and former Vogue beauty director Sarah Brown. In 10 one-hour episodes, 12 celebrity stylists and salon pros will go head to head, creating different looks for red carpet challenges and editorial shoots until the list dwindles down to one winner. Unfortunately, the premiere date is still TBD, but filming starts next month.
