KUALA LUMPUR: For a long time, doll-maker Wesley Hilton was keeping his love of dolls – an interest which began in secondary school – a secret, for fear of being misunderstood.
“When I started flying as a flight attendant, I bought my first doll. I’ve liked dolls from an early age but I’m a boy, so having a doll is taboo. Hilton, 36, took this passion to the next level during the Covid-19 lockdown, by teaching himself how to make his own dolls. “Every year, we will see a lot of people wearing costumes during the Gawai celebrations but not this particular one. So that’s why I thought, ‘Maybe I can make a doll in our traditional costume to keep the Gawai festival spirit strong’,” recalled Hilton.In an attempt to honour his roots, Hilton focuses on Malaysian traditional costumes – particularly of the East Malaysian variety.
Hilton uses Mattel dolls when creating his Borneo Dolls due to their aesthetically pleasing figures.
