Kuala Lumpur, 22 November, 2011 - The most celebrated fashion event of the year in Malaysia is here once more, with a stellar line-up of stylish garments put forth by Asia’s best and up-and-coming designers. As fifty local designers under Bumiputra Designers Association use the Malaysia International Fashion Week (MIFW) to showcase their collections in the global arena, Harley-Davidson [Kuala Lumpur]; an already well established lifestyle brand, is also taking to the runway with its latest trendy apparels during the Gala Show.

Harley-Davidson Kuala Lumpur (HDKL) is proudly co-hosting the Gala Show where local big names and well established designers such as YBhg. Datuk Radzuan Razwill, Bon Zainal, and Noni Ryders to name a few will present their latest design. The Gala Show was graced by YB Datuk Senator Maglin Dennis D’Cruz, Deputy Minister of Information, Communications & Culture. HDKL is also sponsoring 4 awards; 3 of which for designers and the remaining is a Media Award.

“Harley-Davidson is a lifestyle in itself. Indeed, the brand has blossomed over the decades and is no longer simply a source for exceptional quality bikes. Harley-Davidson offers a range of fashion apparel for everyone; toddlers, kids, men and women. Naturally, it makes perfect sense to co-host the Malaysia International Fashion Week 2011 Gala Night and feature some of Harley-Davidson’s best loved fashions,” shared Datuk Wira Hj. SM Faisal Tan Sri SM Nasimuddin, Joint Group Executive Chairman of NAZA Group of Companies.

“NAZA Prestige Bikes Sdn Bhd, the sole authorized dealer of Harley-Davidson in Kuala Lumpur, is a company under the NAZA Group, a Bumiputra conglomerate that progressively strives to make its presence known internationally. In that sense we can identify with all the Bumiputra designers here and it gives us great pleasure to show our support for them as they make a lasting impression on the international fashion scene,” he added.

People are often mistaken in thinking that one has to be a Harley owner in order to enjoy Harley fashion. Whilst owning a Harley may not be for everyone, the stylish apparels and accessories; ranging from eyewear, bags, and belts to jewelry, enable anyone and everyone to make a statement as they step out in true Harley-Davidson fashion.

This iconic brand has a unique clothing line that goes well beyond the expected riding gear. Incorporating its symbolic status in all its products, Harley-Davidson has engaged well respected designers such as Tori Richard; who has the reputation for producing fine, hand-painted garments which exude playfulness with an artistic flair.

Don’t be fooled into believing only a biker can sport Harley-Davidson attire.
