Description:
Singapore is a multicultural country with its people living harmoniously together. That is why my design is titled Harmony Mickey to represent the three main races in Singapore, mainly the Chinese, the Malays and the Indians represented by the colours and patterns of their traditional costumes. The Chinese are represented in Mickey’s ears (fan-shaped inspired pattern), the Malays are represented in Mickey’s pants (songket inspired pattern) and the Indians are represented in Mickey’s shoes (kollam/henna inspired pattern.) Mickey’s gloves represent the colours of our national flag. Together, these patterns and colours make the Harmony Mickey colourful and vibrant, just like Singapore’s vibrant and harmonious society.
