Gift of Max Tan in memory of Ang Swee Haw
The Hujan Jumpsuit was inspired by the ways sarong draped around the body. The gentleness of rain is echoed in both its name (hujan means rain in Malay) as well as in the soft curves that fall across the body and the flutter of the detachable handkerchief-tip sleeves that hang from the shoulders. Max Tan launched his brand MAX.TAN in 2010, following his graduation from Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA) where he was the recipient of the Best Graduate Collection in 2006. He has also designed for multiple theatre productions including Ceremonial Enactments (2022), a commission by the Singapore International Festival of the Arts.
