In a move that is a long time coming, FashionValet launched a collaboration collection with local fashion icon Neelofa. The announcement of the collection sent fashion enthusiasts into a frenzy as they rushed to acquire a piece of fashion created by two of Malaysia’s most successful modern Muslim women.

In a span of six years, Gen.T Listers Neelofa and Vivy Yusof has come a long way.

In 2012, winner of a teen beauty contest Neelofa was finding her footing in the entertainment scene. At the same time, law student Vivy and her-then boyfriend Fadza Anuar (another Gen.T Lister) were still struggling together to get FashionValet off the ground.

The scrappy fashion startup eventually enlisted Neelofa to be their first celebrity ambassador, a partnership that marked the start of a beautiful friendship.

Since then, the business mogul and e-commerce platform kept in touch and FashionValet even carries her popular scarf brand, Naelofar Hijab.

Without a doubt, Neelofa and Vivy share many similarities in their career trajectory: both run multimillion dollar companies, accumulated devoted followers in their social media and are stars of their own TV shows in Astro.

Above all, in their success, Vivy and Neelofa have proven that it is possible for two women entrepreneurs to be supportive of each other’s success. They are both advocates against cyberbullying and they have consistently used their media platforms to promote female empowerment.
