Kuala Lumpur, June 26 – The AEON Fashion Preview June 23 Edition at IOI City Mall in Putrajaya witnessed a spectacular kick-off on June 24. Over 500 crowd-sourced individuals took part in a remarkable gathering on the runway, showcasing their own style and personal branding; each of who boldly transcended the boundaries of trends, embodying accessibility, diversity, and inventiveness in their social expressions. This outstanding achievement was recognized and documented by the Malaysia Book of Records, highlighting it as a record-breaking occasion for the largest number of participants ever seen in a fashion show.
The thematic fashion capsules presented during the AFP June23 edition were signature pieces of AEON’s exclusive SCAR, Puteri, Arcadia, M, ti:zed, innercasual iC, Agenda, Suave, Guys’ Vision, +Collection, Scarlet inners, JKids, and Crème. These included the unconventional linen that defied structured silhouettes with its lightweight and breathable fabric that was perfect for warm weather; the timeless and versatile denim-on-denim; sportswear that combined style and functionality; career wear that had changed so much; and travel wear with lightweight knits.
The AFP also featured a maternity fashion segment, celebrating style and comfort for expectant mothers. Additionally, there were playful kids’ pajamas with adventurous prints, and an anime-inspired fashion line that honoured beloved characters, providing fans with a unique and fashionable means to express their admiration.
Low Ngai Yuen, the Chief Merchandise and Marketing Officer, expressed AEON’s resolute and commitment to the inclusive fashion movement, “AEON wholeheartedly embraces individuals from all walks of life, firmly believing that fashion should be accessible to everyone – hence the public crowdsourcing plays a big part in this round of AFP.”
She added, “As a retailer catering to everyday people and their essential clothing needs, AEON celebrates the richness of diversity and empowers individuals to fully embrace their personal style. The aim is to ignite a strong sense of confidence, encouraging people to fearlessly embrace the mantra of #ownwhatyouwear, be proud to be #you, and cherish the power of #individuality.”
AEON’s commitment to fashion access aligns with its efforts to champion the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 8 and 15. These goals aim to promote a peaceful and inclusive society, provide access to justice for all, and protect and restore terrestrial ecosystems. By ensuring access to fashion, AEON contributes to these goals and promotes a sustainable and inclusive future.
To add an extra dose of excitement to the AFP event, AEON has announced a further collaboration with Comic Fiesta, a well-known authority and community in anime and comic conventions.
