Company Overview

Originating from the pearl of the orient – the island Penang, Keith Kee Couture (KKC) was founded by its namesake and couturier Keith Kee, back in 2001. From humble beginnings, KKC has come a long way before becoming an established and sought after name in the bridal and couture fashion industry of Malaysia.

Keith has been and still is an active member of the Malaysian Official Designers Association (MODA) and after establishing his brand through an abundance of passion, diligence, and determination, he can be proud of having conquered the terrains of the local fashion industry, fashion festivals, and fashion weeks – more remarkably the Malaysia International Fashion Week (MIFW), as well as a host of STYLO events.

KKC currently operates two different boutiques, with one being situated in the Klang Valley, and the other one back in Penang. that will be worthy of a lifetime of memories. Keith prides on having an acute sensitivity to an individual’s needs and as such, pays meticulous attention to the detailing as well as finishing touches, in line with his genuine desire to bring out a person’s best.

Women

Essentially, all KKC outfits possess high fashion cutting, regardless of whether it is an evening gown, cocktail dress, bridal gown, or even a cheongsam. Keith’s signature use of soft and flowy chiffon featuring multiple tones of colour is evident in most of his outfits. More recently, his signature style has expanded to include self drawn traditional batik motives on evening gowns as well as the modern classic cheongsams. His clever play with colours and patterns will not only help to reflect, but also enhance the wearer’s personality.

Men

Outfits from the KKC men collection are usually designed from fabrics and materials with shiny surfaces as Keith prefers some luster instead of just regular matte. Aside from accentuating the slim fit cutting, emphasis is also given to style and comfort, besides channeling masculinity. He also enjoys experimenting with shiny buttons and accessories to further enhance the outfit. Any man in a KKC piece is bound to make the wearer look outstanding, and exceptionally stand out within any crowd.
