Design Details
- Unique Properties
- The sovereign’s outfit is inspired by designer personality, transitional Tang Dynasty mix with Malaysian Chinese culture Malaysia is multiracial country but designer represent Chinese Culture in Malaysia. It is reflect sick society of problem in Malaysia. Nowadays, some young generation of Malaysian Chinese don’t know how to speak Chinese even though they don’t how to write Chinese Name by Themselves. So she telling people, never forget their mother tongue and who they are.
- Inspiration
- Ideas develop more innovative structures and shapes to the collection through draping.The pursuit of perfect silhouette from the East & mixes with Western Outfits to creations evolve from colors to lines, from elegance to grandeur. The bamboo print design & drawn by me represent CHOR 9 BAI TIAN GONG FESTIVAL As Malaysian Chinese Hokkien, this day is important for Hokkien community as during that time, the survivors managed to escaped the village at night and hide themselves among the bamboo.
- Research
- This Collection of idea is telling designer personality story, who is She. During her childhood, She really love princess stuff, all pink.

She research her family background culture, history, her country society problem, bring them mix together and become < Broken Sovereign>
- Challenge
- The hard part is the garments shape are too big and length of Jacket are long, it may take a few time to sewing. Beside that, about hand printing and digital printing she tried different type of suede and neoprene to make more outcomes to choose which quality of fabric more suit designer collection.
- Realization and Technology
- Recycling and collage idea plus draping technique. Use a old clothes put on dummy to structures and shapes to create a new shape of design. 1. Jacket shape inspired by Tang Dynasty Greeting pose, telling people don't forget their culture & mother tongue. 2.Tang Dynasty costume sleeve mix with trench coat, showing layering represent the constraint of the free liberation.
