"I'm also using a pleating technique in this collection; the colors will follow the color of tenun. The preparation was less than a month since I'm also a coordinator for Paris Fashion Week," said Jeny.

Meanwhile, siblings Siriz, Senaz and Sansa, who gathered in Si.Se.Sa, will present the "Fascinating Java" theme inspired by Javanese culture, especially from Kudus in Central Java.

"Batik Kudus is famous for its isen-isen [intricate patterns]; but we will create a more modern version of it. We will also highlight Tasik embroidery, which is famous for its cute flowers. We want to showcase to the world that syar'i [Muslim] fashion can also be exclusive with the addition of Swarovski," said Senaz. (kes)
