Pictured here (from left) are designers Dickson Lim; Aini Sophi and Aina Sophia Shamsol Zailan; Zaff Jibby; and Zubaida Sahar.

Fashion is no longer what it used to be. The need to go digital, in addition to a changing social and environmental role, has made the industry a challenging one to be in at the moment.
