Raja Malek

Artist

Raja Malek is a veritable Renaissance man, having dabbled in everything from set designing to curating style

From jewellery designer and make-up artist to set designer, Raja Malek is a man who has done it all and then some. Having worked with powerhouses in the creative industry such as actress and producer Puan Sri Tiara Jacquelina as well as theatre director Datuk Zahim Albakri, Raja Malek is known for his elaborate set designs for Malaysian theatre, including Puteri Gunung Ledang, Ola Bola the Musical and Shadow in the Sun.

Also a fashion icon in his own right, Raja Malek’s classic looks have a contemporary twist. An avid fan of skirts—they are a must-have in his wardrobe—he has been collecting them ever since the ’80s, and apparently has amassed an impressive number of Comme des Garçons skirts.

Much like his work, the designer’s personality is exuberant, whimsical, and without bounds. “I feel like every look I do is just an exciting experience for me,” he says. “I can express myself however I want. It energises me and is something I look forward to every day.”
