Kedah Fashion Week 2022 (KFW2022) was accidentally embroiled in controversy when a guest was criticized online for wearing a revealing outfit.

The fashion show was held at Aman Central Mall in Alor Setar from August 5 to 7, 2022 with the aim of promoting clothing brands in the mall.

A fashion show guest soon turned heads when she wore an all-green ensemble consisting of just an open coat with no shirt underneath and pants.

A long white beaded necklace barely covered the exposed area.

Some netizens were shocked by the bold fashion choice and jokingly asked if the woman was cold.

They were also surprised that their navel was showing. Aside from the partial nudity, some felt the overall look wasn’t great.

While the style may have a place in European fashion shows, it’s an unthinkable style choice for Malaysia’s conservative crowd.

Due to the online backlash, Aman Central issued an apology through an official statement. They regretted that the guest of the fashion show did not follow the dress code established by the organizers.

Since KFW2022 is an annual event, the organizers promised to be more attentive to the dress code at future events.

They reiterated that the fashion show aims to promote clothing brands in the mall and highlight local designers.

They also hope that the public will continue to show their support for the annual fashion show.
