A Modern Homage to Tradition: The Fusion of Indonesian Wastra

On this momentous occasion of Batik's Day, SAPTO DJOJOKARTIKO unveils #SAPTOJOBerkain – a captivating fusion of heritage and contemporary style, seamlessly uniting Indonesian wastra with SAPTO DJOJOKARTIKO's exquisite collection, meticulously styled by Rama Dicandra.

Indonesian wastra, encompassing batik, ikat, songket, and tenun, occupies a sacred place in our nation's history and culture. The UNESCO recognition of Indonesian batik as an Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2008 is a testament to its significance. These textiles are more than just fabrics; they are vessels of traditions, stories, and masterful craftsmanship.

In this special #SAPTOJOHeritage edition, Rama Dicandra reimagines the fusion of SAPTOJO's pieces with Kain. Drawing inspiration from the distinctive style of Indonesian women, he artfully drapes timeless fabrics into elegant skirts and dresses, infusing them with dynamic sophistication, femininity, exploration, and vibrant tones. The result is an array of semi-formal to formal attire radiating undeniable beauty.

Bold colors, rich textures, timeless patterns, statement accessories, and graceful Kain wrapping define Rama's refined styling. Asymmetry and captivating silhouettes elevate each ensemble to a work of art. Rama's approach to adorning SAPTO DJOJOKARTIKO's timeless designs with Kain showcases every element in its full glory.

#SAPTOJOBerkain reflects upon the Berkain tradition, emphasizing how modernity can coexist with heritage while embracing the spirit of freedom that defines Indonesia.
