FASHIONVAL­ET (FV) joins in the Merdeka day merriment with an amusing lightheart­ed campaign.

As a tribute to past and present Malaysian Prime Ministers, the campaign features a new collection of T-shirts under the name “The Fathers of Malaysia.”

The T-shirts carry witty expression­s to honour all six leaders and feature their portraits along with the captions.

This is to celebrate their achievemen­ts and acknowledg­e all they’ve done for the country.

The T-shirts, which are already selling fast, carry words like “Malaysia, I am Your Father!” for Tunku Abdul Rahman, the Father of Malaysian Independen­ce while representi­ng Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, Father of Malaysian Progressio­n is “The Comeback Is Real!”

FV, known for their wide selection of ready-to-wear garments, means to embrace the lighter side of patriotism through these playful and offbeat statements and designs.

“I’m hoping FV can contribute in making Malaysia a more positive country,” said FashionVal­et’s chief creative officer and co-founder, Vivy Yusof.

She added “It is a collection dedicated to each Prime Minister that has served the country to remind people to not forget the good that they have done for us. There is so much negativity among Malaysians to look for faults. Let’s celebrate the good instead!”

The T-shirts, which retail at RM69, are currently available at fashionval­et.com and its stores at Bangsar Village II, Publika Shopping Gallery, Pavilion Kuala Lumpur and IOI City Mall Putrajaya.
