“We hope to inspire our students, but not just them, anybody, if we are able, to make them feel closer to getting where they want to be, and taking the mystery out of starting your own business or brand,” said Dato’ Tiffanee, the daughter of Tan Sri Limkokwing.

“It is a powerful feeling knowing that you are part of something that supports you and part of an environment or brand that makes you feel at home. Limkokwing Fashion Club is an example of that. We hope we can bring a sense of belonging and a sense of style to anyone that likes clothes that happen to be really practical, fun, and affordable,” added Dato’ Tiffanee.

At the age of 21, Dato’ Tiffanee was voted Prestige Magazine’s youngest ever ‘Most Promising Female under 40’. In 2010, she received the ASEAN Master Class Award as the Emerging Women Entrepreneur of the Year. She also organized the first fashion show by an African and Asian University at London Fashion Week in 2012 and moved on to organize shows at Paris, Japan and China. She is a talented and prolific writer, who has already published four books. She also mooted ‘The Magic of Limkokwing’, an award-winning radio programme which she has directed and scripted.
