Kuala Lumpur’s fashion moment of the year is back — and it’s turning up the volume. Kuala Lumpur Fashion Week 2025 (KLFW 2025) returns for its 13th season from 4 to 10 August 2025, taking over the PETRONAS Twin Towers-facing Esplanade at KLCC Park with its biggest lineup to date.

In collaboration once again with Suria KLCC and KLCC (Holdings) Sdn Bhd, KLFW 2025 sets the stage for over 55 designers and brands, including fashion mainstays, daring new talents, and much-anticipated comebacks. For one thrilling week, the Esplanade will be transformed into a sleek, modern show hall complete with monochrome architecture, dedicated guest arrivals, and outdoor runway livestreams for public viewing.

As KLFW continues to evolve into a platform that marries tradition and innovation, this season places bold collaborations at its core. All eyes will be on the heritage textile revival of Muni and Sofia Iman, whose mastery in natural dyes and traditional songket will be woven into runway-ready silhouettes. Meanwhile, a buzzworthy crossover between Larney and Afiq M brings drama and elegance, all bathed in their signature noir.

Fashion powerhouses including Ezzati Amira, Hatta Dolmat, Maarimaia, Mimpikita, Neonate, and Private Stitch mark their return, while rising stars like Akmal Hakim, ShazNash, Ugly Pretty, HUNTILANAK, and MOKJY are set to make strong first impressions. Renowned couturier Radzuan Radziwill and bespoke artisan Teh Firdaus will also be making their long-awaited KLFW debuts.

In its continued mission to shape the future of fashion, KLFW 2025 also celebrates the next generation through its “Design to Sustain” segment, featuring Raja Irfan, Mei Mei, and Salahuddinhilmi, winners of KLFW Designer Search 2024.

KLFW 2025 continues to be powered by key partners: Suria KLCC, KLCC (Holdings) Sdn Bhd, L’Oréal Paris, Poh Kong, MOCCONA, and vivo Malaysia, alongside dedicated collaborators like AirAsia, Laurier, GHD, Laurastar, Magnum, HMNS, and Colgate, with Mandarin Oriental, Traders Hotel, and Impiana KLCC as its official hotel partners.

Suria KLCC is set to make waves with “Suria KLCC Presents Sofia Iman” — a headline opening show featuring the celebrated local designer in her KLFW debut. Adding to the excitement, fashion icons Rizman Ruzaini will soon join the Suria KLCC family with a flagship boutique opening in Q3.

“Suria KLCC isn’t just a shopping destination; it’s a fashion experience. Supporting designers like Sofia Iman and Rizman Ruzaini reflects our commitment to elevating Malaysian fashion,” says Francis Tan, CEO of Suria KLCC Sdn Bhd.

For the second year in a row, L’Oréal Paris Malaysia steps in as the Official Beauty, Hair & Makeup Partner, championing individuality and the message that every woman should “Walk Her Worth” on and off the runway.
