KUALA LUMPUR: Sofia Iman, a brand synonymous with timeless elegance and cultural heritage, made a powerful debut at Kuala Lumpur Fashion Week (KLFW) 2025, presenting the official opening show in a collaboration with Suria KLCC. Themed 'Heritage Reimagined, Style Redefined,' the showcase captivated a 500- strong audience with a collection that celebrated the rich legacy of Malaysian craftsmanship through a contemporary lens. The opening show was a vibrant affair, graced by prominent figures including the founder of Kuala Lumpur Fashion Week, Andrew Tan and the group chief executive officer of KLCC (Holdings) Sdn Bhd, Datuk Sr Mohd Salem Kailany, who were present for the momentous occasion. Many guests were beautifully draped in songket and batik, echoing the show's theme and paying homage to the nation's rich textile heritage. In a unique and inspiring display of unity, Sofia Iman's vision was interpreted by eight celebrated Malaysian designers: ABU, Ashley @ Kapas, Atelier Prive Melson, Fuza by Fuzana Mokhtaza, Jimmy Lim, Jimmy Wong, Tangoo and Uzair Shoid. The collection served as a tribute to the master weavers of Terengganu, the artisans behind the brand's exquisite songket pieces. By infusing traditional techniques with modern silhouettes, the show aimed to elevate songket beyond its traditional confines, presenting it as a globally relevant fashion statement. Francis Tan, executive director and chief executive officer of Suria KLCC Sdn Bhd, said'Our partnership with Sofia Iman for KLFW 2025 is a testament to our commitment to nurturing local talent and showcasing the richness of Malaysian culture.

It is a powerful story of growth, belief and shared ambition.' He added:"Through 'Suria KLCC presents Sofia Iman,' we are not just celebrating fashion; we are championing Malaysian heritage and creativity on a global stage as we look forward to Visit Malaysia 2026.' "This collaboration underscores our mission to provide a platform for local designers to shine and for the world to see the beauty and innovation inherent in our traditions. 'Our commitment extends to providing a space where their creativity and legacy can grow. We are proud to support local designers who have built such a strong name in fashion and are excited to welcome renowned fashion duo Rizman Ruzaini to the Suria KLCC family, with their boutique opening in the third quarter of 2025." For the Sofia Iman brand, being selected as the opening designer for its first-ever KLFW runway was a profound honour and a validation of its mission. "This showcase is the culmination of years of dedication, creativity and staying true to our cultural roots," said Faralina, founder of Sofia Iman. "Our presence at Suria KLCC has shown us that customers desire modern interpretations of songket that they can incorporate into their daily lives. This collection was a direct response to that, and opening KLFW 2025 was an unparalleled opportunity to present our story, honour our artisans, and share Malaysian craftsmanship with a broader audience."
