What Do
I Wear?

Traditional Asian attire and/or modern formal wear with a futuristic twist.

Our theme is Past Preserved, Futuristic Forward, so we encourage you to pair heritage elegance with bold, forward-looking flair — think iridescent fabrics, structured silhouettes, metallic accents, or subtle LED and tech-inspired details. Here is a little gallery to inspire your 2026 Gala look.

A little permission

Make the theme yours.

Cocktail/formal attire with theme flair is welcome. Start with what makes you feel unmistakably yourself, then add one element that catches the light.
