Melinda Looi also created a modern, bold and sophisticated look inspired by Mulan’s courageous journey to becoming a legendary warrior. Melinda Looi designed a couture outfit reminiscent of “armor” with a fashion-forward twist. This contemporary ensemble features gunmetal sequins to create an armor-like look, paired with a reversible knee-length coat containing a crystal stone embellishment of the Chinese character “忠”, meaning “loyalty”. The ensemble is completed with a corset and heavy crepe trousers, symbolic of how Mulan steps outside of tradition-bound society, blossoming in the face of adversity to become more than her reflection shows.
