Fashion Forward Batik Malaysia is a Kuala Lumpur Fashion Week initiative on the KLFW Runway encouraging young designers to incorporate Malaysia’s national fabric, Batik, in a fresh design aesthetic. This year, KLFW Digital 2020 introduces 6 up and coming designers to participate in this year’s Fashion Forward Batik Malaysia Competition. In the past years, contestants presented their design sketches consisting of 80% Batik and 20% complimentary textile of their choice to qualify for the Fashion Forward Batik Malaysia Showcase hosted at the KLFW HQ.
