Fashion In Asia

Asia, not much like the Western people, but in Asia, culture just like a bag of rice that has many color in it, but they are all the same, rice. Such as fashion, in Asia, fashion has many ways to describe them to the world, sometimes pain is the fashion, and pain is beauty. For the Western people, the test of Asian people may seem to a little bit weird and different from the West but this weirdness and the differences is what makes Asian fashion is so unique and beautiful. For example, at Borneo Island, tattoo is considered as beauty and fashion for men among the Iban tribes and long neck in, also consider as beauty and fashion. Wearing heavy weight of decoration among the Iban women consider as fashion for them, they can stand the weight of fashion because they understand what the meaning of fashion in their own perspective is. In Malaysia, the Malay men always ware baju melayu, which mean Malay Wear, in formal occasion such as wedding and special event.

This baju melayu is basically a long hand T-Shirt, with button below the neck, sometime it can be shape just like V shape and also can be shape with full button until below the neck and lastly, sampin, a very simple design piece of garment but has its own original design. This sampin or kain belikat is just like a piece of towel that the end of the towel meets with another end of the towel, making it just like a tube tuck. There are many countries in this Asia area such as Japan, China and Indonesia, all of this country has its own cultural fashion that we can use as an inspiration to all designer around the world and we can see that many successful designers comes from Asia background such as Vera Wang and many more. The world has many things to teach us and it’s up to us whether we want it or not.
