The orange jacket and skirt are put together to become a traditional wedding costume for the Peranakan Chinese. Orange was a very beloved color for the Peranakan Chinese and the coat is called ‘mang ao’ , dragon coat.

WHY
I picked this costume because I am interested in Asian culture and there history and crafts.
This costume fascinated me because I found out that in the time this costume is made there was a emigration stream of Chinese people coming to Indonesia.
Because of this mingle the traditional crafts of both lands merged together. Like Chinese embroidery with Indonesian batik.
Also all the pictures/ illustrations have a meaning and they value this a lot and they tell a sort of story.
This is something I like in a costume or garment, you can tell a story by this and in my own work I use a lot of prints. I also wanted to link it with my Major Fashion design so I can discover new crafts and continue with my development in the major.
To make a replica of the wedding costume I want to do more research about the different illustations and meanings of these, discover more about the Chinese/Indonesian history and techniques used in this time. After this desk research I want to start with material experiments to replicate the costume using modern day crafts or digital techniques and give the costume a new look.
