Sarong Kebaya: Peranakan Fashion and Its International Sources 360 Virtual Tour (Singapore)

Sarong Kebaya
Sarong Kebaya: Peranakan Fashion and Its International Sources is an exhibit that presents the fashion of Peranakan women. The favored fashion of Peranakan women, the sarong kebaya, has roots in the rich, enigmatic culture of 16th century Islam. The simple design pairs a light tunic with a tube-like, long skirt. Over generations it has evolved as a garment and spread across Southeast Asia.

Famed for its rich texture and vibrant patterns, the sarong kebaya made for an extremely eye-catching exhibit at the Peranakan Museum. The exhibit captured how the garment has changed over the years and highlighted the bright colours of the garments throughout the space. Along with the many kebayas displayed, photographs were used in the exhibit to show women wearing this clothing throughout history.

As the garment spread through different parts of the world, it was modified to take on fashion elements of other cultures. By attending the exhibit, visitors could better grasp how Peranakan fashion has retained its own unique character in spite of being influenced by various international communities.

Haroko Studio was thrilled to work on this project. We created a stunning 360 degree virtual tour to fully capture the magic of Sarong Kebaya: Peranakan Fashion and Its International Sources.
