Malaysia Day is held on 16 September every year to commemorate the establishment of the Malaysian federation on the same date in 1963. It marked the joining together of Malaya, North Borneo, and Sarawak to form Malaysia. BAZAAR is paying homage to the nation’s diversity in people, cultures and opinions. For our first installation, BAZAAR gets intimate with the powerhouse dream team of Atelier Fitton, Misha Shah & Joshua Fitton on their most loved characteristics of Malaysia in a five-piece visual narration.
#1.
The National Dress
So proud that we wear it everywhere!! In this case, just to match our tuk tuk in SriLanka. #driverdidntgetthememo
#2.
The Twin Towers
My favourite building in Malaysia has to be the Petronas Twin Towers. Every time I come back from a holiday overseas, the first thing I want to see is the towers! Makes me so proud!
#3.
Mixed Marriages
My Grandparents did it, now were pushing it further. I am a hybrid mix of Malay, Japanese, Chinese, Cylonese, English, Scottish and Javanese. #rojak #myrojakisbetterthanyours #beatthat

The Islands
Josh and I are both divers and we love the islands in Malaysia. We are blessed to have such clear waters! #justkeepswimming

Merdeka!
31st August 1957. The day Malaysia got its independence. Also the one day a year Josh dresses as a superhero and gets away with it. #iworeitbetter
