#AIFW2017 in its first year will feature three main elements:
Fashion Trade Show
A platform for sustainable and profitable Islamic fashion and lifestyle business networks; covering the trade and the public. From luxury brands, to the latest trends in modest fashion, #AIFW 2017 brings you exhibitors from around the world that fuel the business of Islamic fashion.
Fashion Show
Featuring the latest trends in Islamic fashion from renowned designers, top retailers, boutiques and independent designers. The runway show is a must see event.
Fashion Interact
Enriching Muslims with the knowledge of Islamic fashion based on Islamic values through interactive talks by speakers from various fields within the Islamic fashion & trade industry.
About Islamic Fashion Industry
According to The State of the Global Islamic Economy Report 2015/16 co-commissioned by Reuters, global Muslim consumer spending on clothing raked in $230 billion in 2014, making the Muslim clothing market 11% of global expenditure, with a growth rate of 3.8% compared to last year. This number is expected to reach US$484 billion by 2019.
The sheer size of the market is commanding attention and investment from across the globe. Major mainstream fashion players from Uniqlo, Mango to high-fashion designers Dolce & Gabbana and Tommy Hilfiger have followed DKNY in investing in this sector. This is whilst Muslim fashion companies also continue to grow and thrive.
In the report, it is also highlighted that Malaysia tops the majority of the Halal industry categories in the Global Islamic Economy Indicator. As a modern and progressive Islamic nation, Malaysia has long aspired to become the Global Halal Hub, spearheading many halal initiatives and hosting more Islamic-related initiatives such as #AIFW2017 to create greater awareness of the Halal market.
