About Broken Sovereign Mkusanyiko wa Mavazi ya Wanawake

Broken Sovereign ni mkusanyiko wa mavazi ya wanawake wenye mionekano mitano ulioongozwa na mavazi ya Enzi ya Tang na utamaduni wa Wachina wa Malaysia. Umbo la jaketi linarejelea mkao wa salamu wa Enzi ya Tang. Mikono mipana ya mtindo wa Tang imeunganishwa na koti la trenchi ili kuashiria utandikaji wa tabaka na vizuizi. Neoprene imetumika kwa majaketi na makoti, kwani kitambaa hiki hushikilia umbo na hukubali uchapishaji wa kidijitali. Suede imetumika kwa vesti, matopu, sketi na magauni. Mavazi ya zamani hutandazwa juu ya sanamu ya kushonea ili kuunda maumbo mapya. Chapa ya mianzi inakumbusha tamasha la Hokkien na kuwakumbusha vizazi vichanga wasisahau lugha yao ya mama.
