‘Heritage in Bloom’ is a collection where I share my personal journey through garments that weave together my Indonesian-Chinese heritage and modern perspective. This collection combines traditional beading, embroidery, and iconic silhouettes like the kebaya and cheongsam, enriched by my experiences in Melbourne. I designed this collection to bridge tradition and innovation, honouring timeless artistry with a youthful spirit. Each piece captures my journey, honouring cultural legacy and embracing self-expression. For me, ‘Heritage in Bloom’ represents a tribute to the past and a step into the future, a fusion of history, artistry, and personal growth.
