The Recycle Collection. Keith Kee created those colourful chiffon dresses by using recycled fabrics. These fabrics were the cut away materials collected from the thousands of dresses he designed over the ten year course of his career. Further cut away materials after the 'recycle' collection was created were used in the production of limited edition Keith Kee Couture's 10th Anniversary handkerchiefs instead. These designer handkerchiefs were sold to guests at the fashion gala and all proceeds will benefit the World Food Programme.

The Batik Collection. Keith Kee embarked on a learning journey to Kelantan, which was captured on film, in order to create his own signature batik cloths and in turn, used these traditional materials for dresses with modern designs.

The Transformation Collection showcased various couture gowns that can be worn in at least two to three different ways to create different looks. As demonstrated by the models on the runway, some of the long couture gowns 'transformed' into cocktail dresses.
