Fashion & Life Style - Summer Abaya

Just Another Sunny Day

I am currently gazing out of my studio right now enjoying this sunny summer weather. Days like this make me feel so blessed after a long drawn out winter; it’s about time of the sun came out and to dress up with a summery bold floral pattern and contrasting colours, which are a great look at the moment and bang on trend.

Being an amateur photographer taking photos as inspiration for my design by clicking on to hundreds of objects, I come to know that my place is suppose to be behind camera, it’s not in front of it….

How could I not love it when it’s all about being with family & surrounded by people I grow up with, and most amazingly hot summer weather with flowery colourful dresses are always there.

Between Heritage & Tradition

While a lot of people’s favourite part of Southeast Asia is the food, naturally mine has to be the colourful traditional clothes, especially “Baju Kurung” (aka Abaya) with "SONGKET".

I love to share snapshot of camera capture a likeness of traditional street fashion in Indonesia & Malaysia.

When gold was their heritage, red become tradition and embroidery is part of their life.

MEET SOME FRIENDS: By the afternoon, I was deep in the bright sun of Jakarta, the steamy weather was less delicious, it was 37 degree C. However, catching up with friends I didn’t meet for decades had kept me going. The ending story of “My Journey’s Tale” would inspire design of Dress & Code 24:31 product line.
