Fashion in full swing for Ramadan
This year’s Idul Fitri celebrations will see familiar styles – think floaty caftans and abayas – in even more familiar color palettes like understated pastels, neutrals and the occasional jewel tones.

oing by Plaza Indonesia’s annual Ramadan in Style fashion shows, Muslim fashion for Idul Fitri celebrations may come in popular silhouettes and colors.
AVA Prologue brought in a touch of Grecian glamor with a line of draped dresses cut from luscious satin silk, finished with the brand’s signature beading on the front.
Styling is relatively restrained, going with the modest fashion movement that so encapsulates the month and Indonesian fashion as of late. Curves are accentuated, not paraded, through waist cinching via a sash or a decorative draping effect.
While AVA Prologue’s styling choices are mostly focused on the front, the back is left plain and bare of any embellishments, perhaps so as to not complicate matters when you sit down a lot.
The presentation also gave us the brand’s interpretation of children’s clothing, including mostly just miniaturized versions of the dresses in the collection.
Priyo Oktaviano decidedly went for a much more formal look, eschewing his usual traditional Indonesian textile for something more classically Western in nature.
Straightforward silhouettes are elevated through fabric choices, intricately beaded and embroidered with floral patterns. Colors are muted, spanning from greyish beige to lighter, almost white with fleeting remnants of the same greige tones.
