Ten budding designers brought their Hello Kitty fashion designs to life at a runway sneak peek recently. This preview is in anticipation of the grand runway finale for Hello Kitty Friends Catwalk, a fashion design competition organised as part of the Hello Kitty’s 40th Anniversary Celebration by SANRIO HELLO KITTY TOWN Nusajaya.
The top 10 designers who emerged in the preliminary round brought to the stage one outfit from their two-piece collections. The outfits were made up of unique and creative party wear designs inspired by the life and style of Hello Kitty.
The two-piece party wear collection consists of a day and evening outfit, with the evening outfit inspired by Hello Kitty and variations of elements drawn from Malaysian cultures.
Under the creative eye of Gillian Hung, the President of Malaysian Official Designer’s Association (MODA), the shortlisted designers were given the month to evolve their original designs and take them from sketch to the runway.
The top 10 designers will compete on the grand stage to showcase their full collection at the Hello Kitty Friends Catwalk Finale, set for 1st November in the heart of SANRIO HELLO KITTY TOWN Nusajaya. The winning designer will walk away with a grand cash prize of RM5,000.
This is part of the Hello Kitty Friends Forever celebration, a three-day party celebrating Hello Kitty’s 40th Anniversary, scheduled from 31st October 2014 to 2nd November 2014 at SANRIO HELLO KITTY TOWN Nusajaya. There will be a few highlights including the Hello Kitty Friends Gathering, Hello Kitty Friends Fiesta, Hello Kitty Friends Catwalk, and the Hello Kitty Friends Rock Music Festival.
