On 20 January 2020, Y.M. Tengku Dato’ Dr. Hishammuddin Zaizi, Prince of Selangor, represented Malaysia as one of the guests of honour at the 34th Oriental Fashion Show, held at Carrousel du Louvre in Paris. Held in conjunction with Paris Fashion Week, the event saw Malaysia shining brightly as the only Southeast Asian nation represented on the runway. The star that brought fame to Malaysia that evening is our very own fashion designer, Gina Frias – who showcased bold yet elegant design for all to marvel.
