More than 500 personalities were crowdsourced to take on the runway of the AEON Fashion Preview June23 Edition at IOI City Mall in Putrajaya. The Malaysia Book of Records were present to validate and record this as the largest participation of a fashion show.

There was also maternity fashion to celebrate the changing body needs; kids’ pajamas with fun prints to take the nights to a new level of adventure as well as anime fashion to pay homage to our favourite characters.
Low Ngai Yuen, the Chief Merchandise and Marketing Officer, expressed AEON’s resolute and commitment to the inclusive fashion movement, “AEON wholeheartedly embraces individuals from all walks of life, firmly believing that fashion should be accessible to everyone— hence the public crowdsourcing plays a big part in this round of AFP.”
