# Busana Malaysia

Malaysian dress, from kebaya to songket, painted as contemporary fashion.

*Busana Malaysia* is a 22-work series by Lihuà reimagining Malaysian dress (kebaya, Nyonya and Peranakan style, cheongsam, saree, songket and baju) as contemporary fashion illustration in watercolour and gouache.

It debuted at Eslite Spectrum, Kuala Lumpur (July 2023) and travelled to China House, Penang (5 Aug – 3 Sep 2023), shown alongside the Galerie Martel Collection.
