T
he 13th edition of Dewi Fashion Knights runways will return with three designers who have translated their stories in a time of pandemic into new fashion concepts that may determine the future of Indonesian fashion.
Going all digital this year, the event organized by Dewi fashion magazine has chosen the theme “Gaia: Mother Earth” to align with the global trend of circular fashion and environmentally friendly production.
“Looking back on this year, we have gone through political and economic turmoil and personal losses related to the pandemic. At moments like these we start to question what is essential in life,” said Dewi editor-in-chief Margaretha Untoro in a virtual press conference Tuesday.
“This current situation leads us to rethink nature, our roots, and [fashion] conscience.”
The designers anointed as the “knights”, who may perhaps provide some of the answers to such reflective questions, are Toton Januar, Chitra Subyakto and Lulu Lutfi Labibi.
While all three have taken part in past editions of Dewi Fashion Knights, this year will be a special one for them.
