Taking Batik to New Places: Fern Chua, Malaysia

Fern Chua is the award-winning founder of FERN, a Malaysian sustainable and high-end fashion label rediscovering the elegance of the ancient Asian fabric art form, Batik.   Fern and I chatted earlier this year on the unexpected path that led her to Batik, the challenges building and growing her team of artisans from the ground up, and pushing the boundaries of the UNESCO listed heritage.   Check out FERN's incredible looks at fern.gallery or follow @fernbatikcollective on Instagram.
