Fern Chua and Pearly Wong presented a spectacular display of both traditional and modern pieces at Damansara Performing Arts Centre this Tuesday. It was a display of both ends of the spectrum, Fern’s collection displayed traditional batik with a new modern twist, while Pearly Wong’s collection was something from a sci-fi film.
Fern opened the show with her new line of ‘contemporary meets traditional’ batik-infused pieces. Her collaboration with Ruzz Gahara showcased a beautiful versatile collection of intricate batik prints on cool flowy silk. Fern and Ruzz Gahara created a fresh perspective by infusing Malaysia’s national treasure, batik, into everyday wear.
Well-known for her functional and monochromatic-coloured designs, Pearly never fails to impress. The soundtrack created by DJ Jhin set a futuristic feel to her set. With vegan leather vests, sheer pieces and functional zips, she created a clean, minimal yet bold look for the modern woman.
