AnakXMelayu By AminAyub
One of my latest ongoing collaboration projects is Anak x Melayu (AxM) by AminAyub, a creative venture aiming to raise awareness about the Malay language through modern graphic tees. The inspiration behind this initiative comes from recognizing how the younger generation is slowly losing touch with the Malay language, and even more so, with the ethics tied to it. AxM strives to keep the language and designs fresh, modern, and relevant for today's youth while staying rooted in our cultural heritage.
The Collaboration
Working on this project over the past several weeks has been a smooth and exciting journey. My goal with AxM is to prove that graphic tees featuring the Malay language can be just as stylish and cool as any other tees in the market. This collaboration kicks off with a special 5-piece collection that I've personally designed, each tee representing words or phrases I believe will resonate with both the Malay hipster crowd and those who appreciate simple, effortless fashion.
Here’s a breakdown of the designs:
A.W.A.S | Aku Wira Anak Singapura – Paired with Spitfire sunglasses, Pedro Oxford sneakers, and a Fred Perry barrel duffel bag.
Hak Milik Pencipta. Daripadanya | Kepadanya – Styled with a Hudoob flat cap and Burberry sunglasses.
Bukan Melayu Ciplak – Worn with optical glasses and a Hudoob flat cap.
LOL | Laugh Out Loud – Perfect with a Topman beanie and Burberry sunglasses.
Bimbingan Ibu Bapa Digalakkan | Kandungan Eksplisit – Styled with Spitfire sunglasses and gold accessories.
Special National Day Edition
In honor of Singapore's SG50 celebrations and the 28th SEA Games, we're also releasing a special National Day Edition tee. Available in red, white, and black, this design celebrates national pride and encourages everyone to Get RED-Y for the celebrations at the Float and Padang. Whether you're cheering on Team Singapore or simply celebrating our nation's milestone, this tee is a must-have.
