To honour and preserve the lifelong work of her late mother, cultural custodian Azah Aziz (1928–2012), former Bank Negara governor Tan Sri Dr Zeti Akhtar Aziz recently launched the book Malay Textiles And Costumes: Form And Style.

The book, an English edition of Azah's Rupa Dan Gaya: Busana Melayu, was launched recently at Sasana Kijang, Bank Negara Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur, in an event hosted by Tita Publications in collaboration with Penerbit UKM, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia.
