Who should apply

You are Malaysian, or based in Malaysia — East or West.

02

You can attend every physical workshop across the six months.

03

You make clothes. A registered company is not required.

Six months of mentorship, a workspace in Kuala Lumpur, a stipend, and a runway in front of press and buyers. It begins with one form.

Questions

Is there a fee?

No. Applying is free, and the programme carries a stipend and grant support for the selected cohort.

Do I need a registered company?

No. The brand or company field on the form is optional, and self-taught makers are read on the same terms as graduates.

Why do I need a Google account?

The form uploads portfolio files, which Google requires a signed-in account for. Any Google account will do.

Can I apply from Sabah or Sarawak?

Yes. The open call covers East and West Malaysia. Attendance at physical workshops in Kuala Lumpur is the one requirement to weigh.

When will I hear back?

Shortlisted applicants are contacted for a panel interview. Interview and announcement dates are confirmed closer to the closing date.
