At 15 years old, Maya Luebbert already has a fashion collection to her name. Although not designed by her – but instead, featuring her art, this is still a big deal for someone at such a young age.

Last year saw Maya collaborating with her mother, well-known fashion designer Melinda Looi. It was a range of couture pieces showcasing handmade traditional materials like rattan weaving, tenun, batik and songket.
