Finally, Eco-fashion is coming to KL. FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY!!! I’m so happy. I’m definitely going to this event. Its already hard to find eco-products in Malaysia, but I’m glad that they are taking this step to explore on eco-fashion as well. The event will be held from what I saw on this site at KLCC convention centre on the 22nd of November.

KUALA LUMPUR: Development plans in Malaysia take into account environmental sustainability with emphasis on preserving the country’s natural and cultural assets, said Tourism Minister Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor.

“Under the 9th Malaysia Plan, a more integrated approach to tourism planning and implementation will be undertaken to ensure sustainable development of the industry,” he said in his speech at ecoStyle 2007.

The text of his speech was read out by Tourism Ministry secretary-general Datuk Dr Victor Wee yesterday.

EcoStyle, organised by NYC Inc and IMG Fashion, and supported by Tourism Malaysia and Earth Pledge, is an international event and Asia’s first dedicated programme that focuses on ecological sustainability and the environment through style and design.

The ecoStyle Gala Fundraising Event, which will be held in Malaysia on Nov 22, is also part of the ecoStyle programme.

It will feature a high-end fashion collection featuring the world’s leading designers whose creations have been made exclusively from environmentally-sustainable fabrics and textiles.
