A school in Johor went viral on social media after students showcased creative outfits made from recycled materials during a Merdeka fashion show.
The event, held at SK Taman Mutiara Rini 2 in Skudai, Johor, saw students confidently walking the runway in costumes designed for Malaysia’s upcoming Independence Day.
Made from plastic, paper and food packaging
According to the video shared on TikTok, all the outfits were crafted using recyclable items such as plastic, paper and cardboard.
Among the most “extravagant” looks modeled was a gown with a skirt made from Gardenia bread plastic packaging.
Another student also wore a dress with a train constructed with reusable drink bags from popular drink brands.
In addition to plastic and paper, students also reused festive envelopes, old CDs and newspapers as part of their outfit creation.
These items were repurposed into accessories and decorative elements to enhance their overall look.
Buzzkini reported that the fashion show, held on Tuesday (Aug 19), featured clothes themed around the Jalur Gemilang and focused on promoting sustainability.
A teacher from the school said the aim of the competition was to “educate, encourage and instill the importance of protecting the environment among students through a sustainable lifestyle.”
The event also served as a platform to appreciate both the students’ and parents’ efforts in bringing the eco-themed designs to life.
Praise from netizens
Many netizens were in awe of the various designs and commended the students for their creativity.
‘The Gardenia gown is the best, it looks like a real flag but it’s actually just made from bread plastic.’
‘The Gardenia bread outfit is the real winner, it perfectly matches Malaysia’s theme colors.’
Others also said that the real award goes to the parents and teachers who worked hard to put these works of art together.
“This award should actually go to the parents 🤣🤣🤣”
