“Opening up the talent pool to modelling is creating yet another additional
platform and greater opportunities for the young,” said Mercedes-Benz president
and chief executive officer Roland Folger. “Our aim is to put Kuala Lumpur on the
world fashion map by promoting creativity among local talents and to be
recognised for their global standards in fashion.
He added, “It will be an even more exciting year for Malaysia, thanks to our exciting
partnership with STYLO to present Mercedes-Benz Stylo Fashion World Series.
Together we will carry the name of Kuala Lumpur as a fashion city to the world
through local talents participating at international shows in London, Mumbai, New
York, Prague and other fashion capitals around the world”
