Nottingheels, a Malaysian footwear brand founded by Amy Chiew, showcased its Songket series at the March 2026 Paris Fashion Week at Hilton Paris Opera, featuring handcrafted footwear blending Malaysian heritage with modern design.
The Nottingheels Songket collection highlights luxurious Songket fabric and includes patented bunion support, designed to alleviate bunion pressure while maintaining high-fashion style.
“It is with great honour to present the Nottingheels Songket Series at the prestigious Paris Fashion Week, hosted at the iconic Hilton Paris Opera.
“Our timeless Malaysian songket captivated the audience – its heritage, craftmanship and soul, giving Paris a beautiful reason to come discover Malaysia,” said Nottingheels founder and creative director Chiew.
On the same evening, following the songket showcase, Nottingheels launched the Walk of Malaysia Tourism & Culture 2026 at Oya Fusion in Paris – a premier tourism, culture and fashion show initiative to support the Visit Malaysia 2026 (VM2026) campaign.
Endorsed by Tourism Malaysia for VM2026, and presented by Nottingheels, in collaboration with Clume, the launch event brought together a mix of high-level attendees, including diplomats, government officials from Tourism Malaysia Paris and Matrade Paris, industry leaders and partners to officially set the stage for the tourism and cultural fashion initiative to promote Malaysia’s tourism resurgence, culture and fashion industries.
The milestone event was officiated by Malaysia’s Ambassador to France Datuk Eldeen Husaini Mohd Hashim, alongside Nottingheels founder and creative director Amy Chiew.
“We are honoured to welcome distinguished representatives from the Embassy of Malaysia in Paris, Tourism Malaysia Paris and Matrade Malaysia Paris in joining us to commemorate the official launch of The Walk of Malaysia 2026.
“Their presence at the ribbon‑cutting and plaque‑signing ceremony marks a meaningful milestone in celebrating Malaysia’s cultural identity, creative excellence and global partnerships,” said Chiew.
Also present at the event were Clume founder Clara Hulme, Tourism Malaysia Paris director Zalina Ahmad and Matrade Paris Trade Commissioner Sebastien Chan.
Norwegian and Mongolian models, including Soba, Julia and Khristine, made special guest appearances, adding glamour and a touch of international flair to the event.
The Walk of Malaysia Tourism & Culture 2026 features a 4-to-6-day itinerary, highlighting the country’s diverse heritage, primarily focussed on Langkawi Island, while taking global visitors through Kuala Lumpur, Kedah, Langkawi, Selangor and Putrajaya.
The Walk of Malaysia 2026 Langkawi Island Tourism and Culture Fashion Show – Designer Package (6 Days/5 Nights) is set to take place on August 1, 2026 in Langkawi, offering a blend of fashion and cultural showcases, including the Nottingheels Global Icon Awards.
