19 June 2019, Sunway City – Sunway University’s third year Public Relations and Project Management students professionally executed an inspiring ‘Fashion Walk’ at the University’s Art Gallery to celebrate the appreciation of the inner beauty in conjunction with the theme – “Inner beauty is true fashion. Walk it, Work It”. The aim of the initiative was to provide an outlet to boost self-esteem and confidence amongst the youth, and to send a message that fashion is not confined to only certain body types or statistics, it could be appreciated on anyone.

Officiated by the Vice Chancellor of Sunway University, Professor Graeme Wilkinson, the fashion spectacle brought together six designers showcasing their creations on the runway to an audience of 160 with their unique collections themed ‘Mums and Dads’, ‘Artistic’, ‘Marvel Bounding’, ‘Rocker Chic Street Style’, ‘Anarchy’ and ‘Glamorous’. To elevate the ambiance even further, an excellent display of lights and good music left a lasting impact on all attendees.

“The organising committee was excited and believed in the project from the onset. The underlying messages behind “Hidden Figures” was profound. A lot of hard work was put into organising this event, and great teamwork certainly paid off.  Initial teething problems may have been a challenge, but it certainly did not hamper our spirits.

With meticulous guidance from our committed and passionate advisor SriKumar Ramayan, we have learnt and gained tremendous knowledge on the tactics of organising an event of distinction. “Hidden Figures” will always be close to our hearts,” said event director, Ezac Chong.

According to event advisor, Srikumar Ramayan, this initiative with such a noble theme had gained encouraging commendation and recognition from the audience. He believes that every person should not compare themselves or be compared with others. Instead, one needs to be appreciate for what one has and understand their own personal beauty within.

A very inspiring speech the event director – Ezac Chong.

As noble as the event was planned to be, the proceeds from the event, generous bags of clothing and accessories were also donated to Shelter Home, an NGO that protects underprivileged children.

The event also included singing performances by Alexandria Tan and Penny Lestrange, rendition of poems by Amelia Natasha and Pavithrah Sambu, a dance performance by girl trio –  L’Queen and an exclusive sharing session by Maslisa Zainuddin on petite body sizes.
