MODERN STYLE


              In my latest post before this, I did mention about our clothing culture. So I would like to be focus on the nowadays trends which is in 2012.

               The first that came to our country is the Portugese. Then, the Dutch rolled in. After a while, the British took over, followed by the Japanese. Finally, the British conquered this country named Malaya, and made plans for the native Malays, Chinese and Indian migrants to unite the country’s administration so they could eventually call Malaya their own.

                On August 31, 1957, the British handed power over to the people of the land, who renamed the country Malaysia. Today, Malaysia is a true melting pot, comprising of over 27.5 million people of different races, religions and ethnicities.

              Our clothing culture nowadays is already been influenced the other country culture such as Korea, Japan, England and etc.

                All this country have their own fashion trend that lead to changes of Malaysian fashion trend too.If Malaysian before this in year after Merdeka love to wear baju kurung and baju melayu as to show the own personality of Malay, but Malaysian now prefer to wear some modern clothes such as skirt, jeans, jacket, or some kind of dresses.


Modern Fashion is cool for them and baju kurung and baju melayu only being used when they celebrating Hari Raya or have special events. It is the reality nowadays.
