Mengenai Industri Fesyen Islamik

Menurut Laporan Kedudukan Ekonomi Islamik Global 2015/16 yang dikeluarkan secara bersama oleh Reuters, konsumer Muslim sedunia membelanjakan sejumlah AS$230 bilion untuk pakaian pada 2014, menjadikan pasaran pakaian Muslim membentuk 11 peratus daripada perbelanjaan global, dengan kadar pertumbuhan sebanyak 3.8 peratus berbanding tahun lalu. Angka tersebut dijangka mencecah AS$484 bilion menjelang 2019.

Saiz pasaran yang ketara ini memerlukan perhatian dan pelaburan dari seluruh dunia. Pemain fesyen arus perdana utama daripada Uniqlo dan Mango hinggalah kepada pereka fesyen aras tinggi seperti Dolce & Gabbana dan Tommy Hillfiger telahpun mengikut jejak langkah DKNY yang melabur dalam sektor ini.

Semua ini berlaku seiring perkembangan syarikat-syarikat fesyen Muslim yang kini meneroka pasaran. Platform e-dagang seperti Hijup (Indonesia) dan Modanisa (Turki) juga menerima kemasukan pelaburan yang besar untuk memperkembangkan asas pengguna masing-masing.

Laporan berkenaan turut menggariskan bahawa Malaysia mendahului majoriti kategori industri Halal dalam Petunjuk Ekonomi Islamik Global. Sebagai negara Islam yang moden dan progresif, Malaysia telah lama membawa aspirasi Hab Halal Global, dengan merintis banyak inisiatif Halal serta menjadi tuan rumah kepada inisiatif yang berkaitan seperti #AIFW2017 demi mencetus kesedaran lebih luas tentang pasaran Halal.

The event is called MIFF 2016 and is also known as the MALAYSIA INDIAN FASHION FESTIVAL 2016 organized by an established Malaysian event agency, Fusion Media Productions Sdn. Bhd. MIFF 2016 is the brainchild of Kishvin, the CEO of Fusion Media and together with a group of influential Malaysian people including celebrities, supermodels, well­‐known designers and event producers who share one thing in common­‐ a desire to create a platform that will showcase the many God given talents that exist in our country, and to show how unique Malaysian fashion truly is.If there is one word that summarizes what MIFF 2016 is all about, it would be ‘fusion’. We want to show a fusion of cultures; a fusion of styles; a fusion of high fashion and everyday fashion; and also a fusion of the modern and the traditional. In line with this, our theme for MIFF 2016 is “Trendy­‐tional”, and our tagline is “Where real fashion meets true passion”.

Even though the name might suggest otherwise, Malaysia Indian Fashion Festival is not only about Indian designers. Instead, it is open to any designer who has injected an element of Indian­‐style or Bollywood design, motifs and themes in their design(at least 10%) The reason for this is that we would like MIFF 2016 to show that the cultures of Malaysia are not separate from one another. Malaysia is in fact a diverse country, and our different races and cultures influence each other to create an amazing mash­‐up of styles and designs. This is what makes us unique as a country and this is what we would like to share with the world.

MIFF 2016 will showcase a total of 16 designers in 2 categories.The first being Trendsetter ­‐Emerging which features upcoming designers. The Emerging segment will kick start at 3.30pm with a special handloom showcase which comprises of normal everyday people instead of models . It will be interesting to find outwhat makes handloom so special and how it was the beginning. The main highlight will be the Premier – Elite category which will showcase 9 designers from Malaysia, Singapore, India and Iran. It is the grand gala night that will take place from 7.30p.m onwards. Some of the names we have lined up are Sarvenaz (Iran), Vineetha Goel (India),J Calista (Singapore),Hari Haran, Rasta Rashid, Harsimrit , Joshua Benedict,Mora Laree, Zeel Bridal, SS Couture from Malaysia and many others.

The Malaysia Fashion Week (MFW) 2015 got off to a grand start over the weekend at the annual international showcase of the Mercedes Benz STYLO Asia Fashion Week to a host of global guests, trade and media audiences at the Maison De L’Amerique Latine, Paris. Malaysia’s national trade promotion agency MATRADE (Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation) in partnership with STYLO International (Malaysia’s leading fashion event organiser) and Mercedes-Benz Malaysia unveiled the second MFW with a select list of seven Malaysian names and two of Asia’s established fashion stars as part of the Global Launch event.

MFW 2015 happening on 4 to 7 November in Kuala Lumpur will feature the Spring/Summer 2016 collection of over 60 Malaysian designers at its Malaysia Fashion Showcase and over 30 international designers at its Mercedes-Benz STYLO Asia Fashion Week together with an exhibition of over 300 booths of Malaysian and International businesses of fashion apparels, accessories, cosmetics and personal care as well as textile.

The MFW 2015 Global Launch is an intimate initiation to the fashion event, which happens from 4 to 7 November, and Kuala Lumpur as an up and coming fashion destination. Eight designers brought runway style through collections that pulsed with sculptural and sharp-edged silhouettes, chic traditional wear and whimsical totes, generating immense interest amongst the invite-only guests, which included French media, fashion influencers and International buyers. Malaysia’s beloved shoe couturier extraordinaire Datuk Professor Jimmy Choo, who is Honorary Advisor to MFW, was the Guest of Honour. Also present were Mr Florian Muller, Director General of Mercedes-Benz Retail France and Mr Roland Folger, President and CEO of Mercedes Benz Malaysia.

Director General of Mercedes-Benz Retail France, Mr Florian Muller said at the Global Launch, “Mercedes-Benz is pleased to join hands with our Malaysian office in playing host to the global launch of Malaysia Fashion Week. Reinforcing our inexorable support of the fashion industry, we are pleased to bring together two fashion cities of the East and West through this fashion exchange.”

As part of the launch initiative, an international exhibition took place 20 and 21 September 2015 at the Mercedes-Benz Gallery, situated at the famed Champs-Elysees, complete with an elaborate display of each designer’s brand and collection. The MFW team brought in more than 60 top French buyers such as Galerie La Fayette and Printempts to personally meet and discover each one of the nine designers and brands, namely Bon Zainal, Fairuz Ramdan, Illiza Ho, Porosus, Blancheur, Royal Selangor Pewter, Von Jolly Couture together with Ali Charisma (Indonesia) and Avel Bacudio (Philippines) – a previous winner of Asia’s Most Influential Designer Award at the Mercedes Benz Stylo Asia Fashion Week 2013. The Global Launch is an ideal platform to promote some of Malaysia’s leading fashion talents, while creating boundless business opportunities for industry players.

Chairman of MATRADE, Datuk Noraini Ahmad, who was present at the Global Launch, quoted, “ As Malaysia’s national trade promotion agency, MATRADE is pleased to introduce a talented list of designers to a wider, more international audience enticed by what Malaysia and Asia have to offer. We recognise the global launch as an integral segment towards promoting MFW 2015 and invite global trade buyers to Kuala Lumpur for the event.”

President and CEO of Mercedes-Benz Malaysia, Mr Roland Folger echoed the Chairman’s remarks. “Paris – the epicentre of fashion is the perfect launch pad for young Asian designers to the rest of Europe. Mercedes-Benz has long believed in fostering events that showcase creative excellence in fashion and design, innovation and inspiration.” he said.

Participating designers were meticulously selected based on their international appeal and their finesse in capturing the Asian essence through their brand and collection.

Co-Chairman of MFW 2015 & Chairman of Mercedes-Benz STYLO Asia Fashion Week Datuk Nancy Yeoh said, “While many designers are in London right now, we took the strategy to showcase in Paris instead ahead of its fashion week. Otherwise it would be too easy to miss us by next week when the world descends on the global fashion capital of the world”

She further added, “The ground-breaking nature of the fashion we will be showcasing at this year’s MFW will culminate in the prestigious Mercedes-Benz STYLO Asia Fashion Week, which is developing into one of the region’s most sought after event. The Mercedes-Benz Stylo Asia Fashion Week (MBStyloAFW) Awards is a chance of a lifetime for Asian designers to be recognised beyond their borders. It promises to be more iconic and revolutionary than ever at the closing of MFW 2015.”

ZALORA, destinasi fesyen atas talian terulung di Asia memperkenalkan hasil kerjasamanya dengan salah seorang pereka fesyen terhangat Malaysia, Syomir Izwa, dengan suatu koleksi eksklusif yang diilhamkan daripada gerakan Art Deco, yang hangat di Eropah pada zaman 1920-an hingga 1930-an dahulu. Syomir Izwa for ZALORA boleh didapati di www.zalora.com.my mulai 30 Mei dan memberi peluang kepada fashionista di seluruh Malaysia dan Brunei untuk memiliki rekaan Syomir Izwa.

Konsep koleksi ini diilhamkan oleh rekaan seni bina zaman 20-an dan 30-an yang popular di seluruh Eropah dan Amerika Syarikat bergelar gerakan Art Deco. Syomir Izwa mendapat ilham daripada perincian geometri gerakan ini yang ditonjolkannya dalam koleksi Hari Raya beliau yang terkini. Menggabungkan unsur-unsur vintaj daripada gerakan Art Deco ini dengan seni baju kurung tradisional, Syomir telah menyulamkan dua faktor ini untuk melahirkan rupa bergaya yang jitu bagi wanita moden.

Bersama dengan ciri-ciri lazim baju kurung, Syomir Izwa mengenakan sentuhan Eropah kepada rekaan-rekaannya. Koleksi tersebut juga menampilkan warna hitam putih yang klasik, dengan rona-rona mirip makarun seperti jingga kesumba, biru firus, biru, kuning, lime, serta perang dan juga nude. Kesegaran rekaan dikekalkan dengan merangkumkan lisu-lisu samar dan perincian blok warna untuk melahirkan ilusi Art Deco.

Sebahagian besar koleksi ini diperbuat daripada kapas buluh organik. Keselesaan dan kesejukan bahan tersebut membolehkan pemakainya merasa sejuk dan selesa semasa musim perayaan yang panas. Koleksi tersebut  terdiri daripada set mini kurung, set baju kurung serta dress labuh.

“Gandingan kerjasama ini adalah hasil usaha berterusan ZALORA untuk membawakan fesyen terbaik kepada pelanggannya.” kata Giulio Xiloyannis, Pengarah Urusan ZALORA. “Kolaborasi ini akan memungkinkan fashionista memiliki ciptaan Syomir Izwa dan mengenali lebih dekat akan perihal tokoh yang telah mencipta busana buat barisan wanita tercantik Malaysia, seperti Yuna, Marion Caunter, Vanidah Imran dan Aishah Sinclair”.

Koleksi ini akan diperagakan ketika pertunjukan fesyen Syomir Izwa x ZALORA bertempat di Hotel Ritz Carlton, menampilkan 15 daripada barisan koleksi pereka ini pada 29 Mei 2014.

KakaoTalk adalah penaja dan rakan kongsi eksklusif bagi koleksi ini.

Jovian Mandagie once again integrates his creativity in swapping the three-dimensional shapes, volumes and artful layers in unconventional ways that remind the women of JM on how wedding dresses could be translated through his latest bridal collection called as “Bridal Blossoms”.

The line engages a little switch by provoking the idea of sculptural silhouette, to be described as contemporary, playful, surreal, emotive and pure. The inspiration takes in by the transformation of flowers blossoming to their original motives.

The collection qualifies the combination of material such as crepe, tulle, duchess, Italian chiffon, French lace and organza silk with the undulating embroidery details, subtle approach of beadings and ruffles.
