PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

Dear Members of AICI Malaysia,

 

It is my great pleasure and honour to welcome you here, as President of our distinguished association. As we begin a new term, I want to take a moment to reflect on the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead of us.

 

One of the most pressing issues of our time is sustainability in fashion and image. We live in a world where the demand for new and trendy clothing is constantly growing, but at what cost? The fashion industry is one of the most polluting industries in the world, and it is our responsibility to change that.

 

We will be focusing on sustainability in fashion and image aligning with the AICI global sustainability efforts. We will be working to promote sustainable practices within our industry, from the use of eco-friendly materials to ethical manufacturing processes. We will also be encouraging our members to adopt sustainable habits in their own lives, from reducing their consumption of fast fashion to supporting local and sustainable designers.

 

But sustainability is not just about the environment, it is also about giving back to our community. As a non-governmental association, we have a responsibility to support the people and communities that we serve. That is why we will be increasing our efforts to give back to our members, whether through education and training programs, or by providing financial assistance to those in need.

 

We will also be working to increase the visibility of our members in the work that they do. We will be promoting your work through social media, events, and other marketing channels, so that the world can see the incredible talent and creativity that exists within our industry.

 

In conclusion, I want to remind you that we are all in this together. We are all part of a larger community, and it is our duty to work together to create a more sustainable, equitable, and prosperous future for all of us. Let us work together to make this term a success, and let us continue to lead the way in sustainable fashion and image.

 

Thank you.

 

Yours sincerely,

Aishah Niehus, AICI CIC
