How I crafted my "Kebaya shirts" 

Can I use the Kebaya materials (resplendent embroidery of gossamer-like cloth) and craft shirts for men? Surprisingly yes, even with equally stunning impact! With the help of my tailor, we push the boundaries of creativity crafting shirts I am proud to wear even at formal functions.

by Adrian Cheah
Having grown up in a Peranakan household, I have always been intrigued by the beauty of the kebaya. It is not just about how - when matched with a traditional floral sarong - the entire ensemble is wearable art, one that gives a veritable statement on the opulent cultural heritage of the Nyonyas.
I took the opportunity to embark on a journey to celebrate the splendour of the Nyonya kebaya textile in a novel way to transcend even gender boundaries. It was premised on one simple question. Can I use kebaya material of the very same kind as used by Nyonyas for their blouses to craft a shirt of equally stunning measure? One that a man would be proud to wear without feeling emasculated.
