A fashion festival is set to grace Bali at the Trans Resort Bali from August 15-22.
Organized by the M Group, the event is set to feature various programs including contemporary fashion shows from Australian, Singaporean, Indian, and Indonesian designers.
One of the participating Indonesian designers, Didiet Maulana, will present the latest collection from his Ikat label, created from different types of local fabrics.
'The collections will showcase woven fabric from Palembang and Bali, lurik from Klaten and Yogyakarta as well as rarely exhibited fabric embroidery from Tasikmalaya and Sumatra,' said Didiet as quoted by kompas.com.
He added that the collection will also have a lighter look featuring more colors and a unique cutting technique.
The Fashion Festival Bali is entering its third year and is expected to provide opportunities for talented local fashion designers to showcase their collections to an international audience.
'The event will be a new and exciting experience for me as well as other Indonesian designers. I hope that our work can bring the Indonesian fashion scene to a higher level,' Didiet stated. (nov/kes)(++++)
