Taylor’s University, Kuala Lumpur Fashion Week (KLFW) and Barbie® Mattel are collaborating on a new project to showcase Malaysia’s rich culture and heritage in an effort to preserve and celebrate the diverse arts and crafts of different ethnicities in the country. The Patung Project features four students from Taylor’s Fashion Design Technology programme who will be presenting their artwork at KLFW exhibition. Each student will be showcasing three Barbie® Dolls each in versatile garments based on four artisanal themes – Nyonya Beading, Tekat Embroidery, Calligraphy and Henna.
Based on the artisanal theme of Nyonya Beading – an intricate form of arts and crafts that represents the Peranakan community. Steffi’s muse for her collection was inspired by ancient Babylonian era fashion pieces that’s rich in patterns and silhouettes, allowing her to experiment with the minutiae form of fashion artistry especially in layering and asymmetrical designs. She has created her Barbie® collection to emulate the colours, patterns and design of the kaleidoscope form.
Mehndi, or commonly known as Henna in Malaysia, showcases an abstract art form that is associated with positive spirits and good luck. Michell created an Indian traditional streetwear-themed collection inspired by the Akbar’s tomb architecture. The five-story monument that’s intricately built with marvelous geometric, floral and calligraphic designs as well as rich colours and texture are the main muse for her Barbie® Doll collection which puts focus on the Barbie’s® Dhoti Pants.
Inspired by alternative subcultures such as punk and goth that often embodies empowerment and audaciousness. The concept of Siti’s Barbie® Doll collection is to assert that same energy but with a twist to signify Malaysia’s rich heritage and culture. Her innovated Kebaya collection designed with traditional Tekat Embroidery aspires to resonate a sense of authenticity to Malaysia’s local traditions that’s injected with a spunk of gallantness in its designs and structures.
The concept of Pei Yi’s collection is inspired by the Chinese ancient tradition of calligraphy arts. The idea was to marry the elements and cultures of Chinese calligraphy into modern art forms by blending the two. Her collection is a collaboration with a local creative calligrapher, Mr Ong, who helped her draw Chinese calligraphy on the fabric which is incorporated into her modern design structures. The beauty of my collection is that each calligraphy emphasized in my designs are different pieces of beautiful and meaningful poems.
Behind the exquisite creation, throughout this project, students received industry mentorships from professional craftsman;
Puan Mardziah, Malaysia Tekat Artist, May Lim Seiw Seng, Malaysia’s renowned shoes beader, Ong Chia Koon, a Calligraphy artist, and Henna Artist, Revathi Uthamaseelan that guided students on their craft technique.
Hafizi Radzi Woo and Izree Kai Haffiz from Fiziwoo, also mentor student on their idea conceptualisation of the garment, while Wesley Hilton, founder of Borneo Doll, lend his expertise with the students in styling their Barbie® Dolls to suit their design concepts that’s fashion-ready for the KLFW exhibition.
