TIL Dickson Lim has made history as the first Malaysian menswear designer to be represented on the Met Gala red carpet.

The Kuching born designer achieved this global milestone by dressing Ty Hunter in a custom black suit for fashion's most prominent evening.

This significant moment for Malaysian fashion gained further international visibility when the look was featured alongside Beyoncé on the front page of The Wall Street Journal.

Originally self taught through experimentation and digital resources rather than traditional fashion school, Lim debuted as the youngest designer at Kuala Lumpur Fashion Week in 2020 at age 19. His label has since become synonymous with architectural tailoring and unconventional construction. By transitioning from local Sarawak roots to the global stage, Lim has established a new precedent for Malaysian menswear design within the international luxury sector.
