Concerns that some of the tech platforms are suppressing posts about abortion have led to changes in how women and organisations talk about it online.
The attire singer Aina Abdul wore when she performed at a recent event to celebrate National Unity Week 2024 was a real head-turner. It was no surprise that it drew so much attention as her voluminous gown was made of rattan – yes, the same natural material which is used in making furniture.
According to Looi, who has been involved in the local fashion industry for 20 years, the dress, which took almost a year to complete, is a tribute to Malaysian craftsmen and artisans. The fashion designer, who represented Malaysia at the World Fashion Awards and World Fashion Week in Paris in 2014, said her interest in the"ikat" textiles produced by the Iban community in Sarawak was also a significant motivation behind creating the rattan gown."Another month was spent on the finishing touches. The most tedious and time-consuming part was the production of the rattan itself.
The gown features hand-harvested and hand-plaited rattan by Erang Ipoi, Serina Melai and Supang Sigak, with the supplemental patterning produced by Mandona Jusely, and embroidery by Looi's daughter, Maya Luebbert.
