Did the fashion powerhouse, Armani now design the infamous Baju Melayu? That's my first reaction when I saw these images of the Giorgio Armani's Spring/Summer '09 runway show. The uncanny resemblence to the Malay men's festive costume can't be denied. Especially the two front pockets that the hands can slips in. Well, not really the traditional one, but the modern Baju Melayu which the youngsters seem to donned in. It's such a good twist too, with the buttons fill 3/4 way though (but sans the collar).
It's not a surprise if Armani did this since he got the inspiration from the Asian counterpart esp from Yul Brenner's King and I. Hmm.. am I seeing more Siam more than Malay here? Well I don't really care coz I got both blood! Nway, Armani does Baju Melayu? Why not... East meet west. Voila!
P/S: Hoping to see more of this design in 2009 Hari Raya!
