The country’s fashion designers talk what’s trending for the New Year.
Many of us were anticipating the New Year with a bit of apprehension. Geopolitical issues show little sign of resolution, bringing far-reaching economic and social consequences.
But on the catwalk, there is an entirely different outlook, with fashion designers bringing in bold silhouettes and vibrant hues that seem to scream, “Bring it on!”
“Fashion wants to spread hope,” Jenny Yohana Kansil, founder and principal of Indonesia's branch of Istituto di Moda Burgo fashion school, told The Jakarta Post during the Spotlight fashion event in Pos Bloc, Central Jakarta, on Dec. 3.
“There have been a lot of rumors of recession,” she continued. “But let’s not be afraid or pessimistic. We’ve survived the pandemic. And I’m sure that we’ll also be just fine.”
So, what will be trending in Indonesia’s fashion scenes?
