Saturday Style: #METRaya2025

As Eid approaches, I’m thrilled to dive into one of my favorite traditions: designing and sewing my own Raya outfits. Since 2016, I’ve made it a personal mission to create my Eid looks, and almost a decade in, I can only hope my skills and designs have evolved for the better. This year, I’m taking it up a notch with my #METRaya2025 collection, and I’m excited to share my inspiration journey with you.

Every year, I draw inspiration from my surroundings—whether it’s the shows I’m binge-watching, the music I’m obsessed with, or the art I’m captivated by. But this time, I’m going back to my roots. When I first started making my own baju raya, I was deeply inspired by the boldness of Versace, the edgy minimalism of Alexander Wang, and the intricate craftsmanship of local designers. This year, I’m revisiting that same energy by turning to three iconic designers as my blueprints for #METRaya2025.

I’ve chosen three fashion houses that embody the essence of what I want to achieve this Eid: a mix of boldness, elegance, and cultural fusion. As always, I’m aiming to create three unique outfits (fingers crossed I can finish them in less than two months!). Each look will reflect the distinct aesthetic of these designers while staying true to my personal style and the spirit of Raya.

So, here’s the challenge: can you guess which three designers are inspiring my #METRaya2025 looks? Will it be the timeless elegance of a Parisian maison, the avant-garde edge of a contemporary label, or the vibrant artistry of a local icon? Stay tuned as I share sneak peeks of my progress, and let’s see if you can crack the code!

Pray for me as I embark on this creative journey—sewing, sketching, and stitching my way to what I hope will be my best Raya collection yet. Here’s to celebrating tradition, creativity, and the joy of fashion. Selamat menyambut #METRaya2025!
