Alia Bastamam creates designs inspired by the seas and beaches. The Raya collection for this year is suitable for a young and flirty look. The designer brings a modern twist by pairing a soft-yellow off-shoulder blouse with a long skirt of the same hue, creating a look that reveals some skin while still looking modest. The collection also features modern kurung with ruffled sleeves and flowy kaftan tops with sarongs. If you are a lover of pastel and soft colours, this is definitely the collection for you!

Petra is no stranger in creating modern kurung with bold prints. This year’s collection features the old school peplum kurung with mandarin collars and floral prints alongside lacey Baju Kurung. Most of the fabrics are made with a wrinkle-free cloth so you don’t have to worry about ironing on Raya morning. Petra is the one you want if you plan to stand out in a crowd.
