With Covid-19 upending the fashion industry around the world, Malaysian couturier Datuk Zang Toi is creating classic clothes in timeless colours to weather the storm. His Spring 2021 collection returns to a more pared-down aesthetic.

This is in line with reports that consumers are now less interested in buying outwardly trendy garments. More people are instead looking for pieces that can stand the test of time, not just a fashion season or two.
