When Miss Universe Singapore 2018 Zahra Khanum appears on stage in Bangkok for the Miss Universe parade of national costumes next month, she will be displaying one of the significant events of the year.
In June, Singapore was the location for the historic North Korea-United States summit, the first-ever between the leaders of the two countries, Mr Kim Jong Un and Mr Donald Trump respectively.
That meeting is the inspiration for this year's MUS national costume, which consists of 3m-long white dove wings, a peace symbol incorporated into the bodice and an electric blue skirt emblazoned with a digital print of a handshake - one arm features the North Korean flag and the other, the American flag - over the Singapore skyline.
Designing the MUS national costume for the third year in a row, Mr Moe Kasim, 48, was happy to play on a beauty pageant stereotype - wanting world peace.
