description Fashion compositions are determined by pieces of clothing that enhanced by accessories as an overall style portraying the aesthetic phenomenon that underlies culture and origin of the wearer. The globalisation caused by developed nations had encouraged the Malay culture to compete and adapt to the most popular foreign culture across the globe by giving an option to the wearer to choose any culture as preference. The process towards the wave of globalisation makes it difficult to recognise values related to customs, the tradition of societies, and religions which lead to the loss of national pride, shows that practicalities or pragmatism not only transforms physical appearance but also changes the way towards appreciating the values in Malay fashion clothing. The past fashion changes in Malay physical appearance needs further investigation to assist in identifying fashion clothing identity during the 1950s until the 1990s based on Malaysia's sociocultural context. This study used a combination of textual and visual content methodologies. A systematic literature review was conducted to justify the scenario and determine factors that had contributed towards Malay women fashion clothing changes. Content analysis was conducted to justify the clothing content-characteristic. Visual analyses through printed photography of image-clothing from the Malay local magazines were performed to examine the physical and appearance of fashion changes. The method was concluded with interviews with several experts as conformance to the evolution. The Malay women's fashion clothing framework model of 'MCCC displayed the key features of garment that reflects the design principles of Malay fashion.
