NOUVEAU PETANG RAYA

Bernard Chandran journeyed through time and brought the distinctive spirit of style influences from the 1950’s, 1960’s and 1970’s into his Petang Raya 2017/18 collection.

“I am like a time traveller and going back to these eras where people are more embracing, fun and positive with a free spirited vibe.  I am inspired by our own iconic and stylish Malay celebrities like Mariam Ismail, Saloma, Saadiah and even Rahimah Alias who were like the ‘Faye Dunaways’ of our world,” explained Chandran.

As Chandran observed and explored the fashion of the three eras, he dissected the styles by fusing them with today’s trend within his retro approach to the ‘kurung’.  Working with graphic prints, reflecting the 1970’s, and infusing textures and cuts of the 1950’s and 1960’s; the Petang Raya 2017/18 collection breathes a ‘nouveau’ sense of modernity and independence of style that continues to push the boundaries of its wearer.

Honouring the more contemporary and well-travelled Malay women, Chandran supports them throughout, by introducing the Sport Kurung, the Sarong Pant, the new darted ‘Baju Kedah’, the new ‘Fish Tail’ and the aerodynamic Kaftan.

Keeping in with the most modern and international silhouettes, you will see the unconventional mix of different patterns and embellishment, within one complete look.  Achieving a fresh and new geometric style of embellishment, embroidery and beading as well as incorporating the three time periods in one piece, this collection established its own standard of style.

Chandran’s designs for the men resembled an updated ‘Baju Melayu’; youthful and vibrant incorporating sportswear design elements, meanwhile bearing the perfect fusion of luxury fashion and updated tradition.

The construction of his collection holds true workmanship that precedes the Chandran Couture stamp.

As a finishing touch, Chandran has gone even further, into the 1980’s with the fine tuning of hair and make-up, of his favourite time spent in Paris, with his muse and wife, Mary.

Enjoy the ride.
