Kuala Lumpur, 12^th July 2011 — The continuing evolution of the Miss Universe Malaysia Organisation (“MUMO”) was revealed today as the national costume for Deborah Henry – Miss Universe Malaysia 2011 (“MUM2011”) – were previewed to members of the Malaysian media at a closed door event at Sunway Lagoon.

“In September we’ll see Deborah Henry taking our nation’s pride to Sao Paulo, Brazil as she meets and competes with the world’s most beautiful women at Miss Universe 2011. She’ll be well provisioned for her trip as she will be bringing her wealth of experience as an international model, television personality and celebrity; MUMO’s combined creativity and an amazing national costume by esteemed Malaysian designer Amir Luqman of amirluqman with her,” said Miss Universe Malaysia Organisation National Director, Andrea Fonseka.

The Wau Factor

The quintessential WAU BULAN of our northern states inspires the national costume for Miss Universe Malaysia 2011, Deborah Henry. A true Malaysian art form, it has – from its origins around Asia – become a localized symbol of creativity, design and refined elegance.

These were attributes that design maestro Amir Luqman Othman of amirluqman took to heart when designing the national costume for 2011. amirluqman is a Malaysian fashion label, founded by Malaysian International Fashion Designer Amir Luqman Othman here in 2004.

“The Wau has come to be an artistic object which is judged solely for its beauty, its intricate designs, combination of colours, and the neatness of the workmanship. All the major elements of this intricate and graceful art form that is as functional as it is beautiful have been incorporated into the National Costume for Miss Universe Malaysia 2011,” said Amir Luqman.

This includes:

• The head, represented by the oval-shaped headgear;
• The hummer, represented by a dangling multi-tiered gold encrusted headpiece;
• The eye, represented by a flower-embroidered bustier made from the Royal Terengganu Songket sponsored by the Yayasan Tuanku Nur Zahirah, a foundation under the royal patronage of Her Majesty the Queen of Malaysia, Seri Paduka Baginda Raja Permaisuri Agong Tuanku Nur Zahirah;
• The wing, represented by the hand movement when holding the tail piece;
• The waist, represented by the placement of the waist itself;
• The tail-piece, represented by the deep-green songket placed at the waist and will be lifted by both hands.

Songket, which is used extensively in the design, is a rich and luxurious fabric that has been traditionally hand-woven in silk or cotton yarns by rural Malay women in Malaysia for more than two centuries. It uses an intricate technique whereby groups of metallic weft threads are interwoven with weft and warp threads of the background, providing a contrast in both colour and texture.

“Songket-weaving is a laborious and tedious process that requires a high degree of concentration from the weaver, resulting in a work of art that reflects the weaver’s artisanship and skills. This accurately represents the intricacy, effort and beauty of our Miss Universe Malaysia 2011, Deborah Henry,” Amir Luqman added.

The whole piece in the end forms an understated and elegant “Wau Bulan” that goes from head to toe.

The traditional-design inspired dress will also see the use of precious gemstones sponsored by Mogok Jewels. These consist of rare pigeon-blood rubies, emeralds and topaz. Mogok Jewels by Maizura Mahathir and Zin Oo Ko are the official jewelers for the “National Costume – Miss Universe Malaysia 2011.”
