I spent part of my teenage years in a town where Zang Toi was brought up when he was a kid (hmm...does the water there makes us creative? LOL). And when he flew to the States, he made a big name in the who's-who world of fashion. His take on traditional pattern like sarong pelikat - the traditional tartan-like pattern - an turn it into an evening dress was just superb. And another fellow countrymen is the GINORMOUS name in fashion - footwear to be exact- that never miss a feature in the Sex and The City flick is Jimmy Choo.
Hope that Datuk will promote the country as a global phenomenon too, just like the shoo. And btw, he just created a pair of blue high heels made out of songket material for a recent event called “A tribute to Terengganu Songket" held in Malaysia.
(Sarong, pelikat, songket - you guys definitely have no idea what those words mean, huh? There's always Wiki!)
P/S: I'm still waiting for Jimmy Choo for H&M collection debut in November. SOL! (Scream out loud!)
