EROS ERFE

Content Creator

Eros Erfe, AKA “The KLCC Boy” is well aware of the everyday theatre of style within Kuala Lumpur's fashion-forward districts.

You may know him for his countless designer bag recommendations and fashion wishlists, but style is not only a formulation of clothes and accessories — it extends to self-care as well. That is why Eros is more than qualified as this year's judge, because beauty goes beyond leather and fabric.

Gajen Chandra has grown from being an online comedian to slowly building up an entrepreneurial empire of his own. “Influencer” doesn’t cut it anymore, Gajen is a multi-hypenate with a CV in content creation and his own skincare brand, Chandra Skin.
