One of these events you shouldn't miss this weekend is the Muslim Fashion Festival (Muffest). The event, held at Plaza Selatan, Istora Senayan, Jakarta, offers more than 250 ready-to-wear labels by Indonesian and international designers.
Four rising Indonesian modest-wear designers, Anandia Putri, Jenahara Nasution, Restu Anggraini and Ria Miranda, launched their special collections for the season in a fashion show themed Modest With Style on Friday night (27/05).
"Modesty in fashion is highly advisable, especially during the month of Ramadan," Restu said. "Therefore, we're presenting our special collections that allow our customers to dress both modestly and fashionably for the holy month."
Each designer presented 10 looks in the show.
Anandia stole the show right from the start with the new collection of her ready-to-wear label I.K.Y.K.
The collection, themed Hana ("One" in Korean), features loose-fitting tunics, culottes, skirts and jackets made of light and breathable materials, such as cotton and linen. With precise tailoring, these pieces fitted nicely on the models and allowed them to move freely on the catwalk.
"We're usually very busy during Ramadan and Idul Fitri," said the self-taught fashion designer. "Therefore, it's necessary for us to dress comfortably for the whole day."
Restu presented her collection, themed Serenity, in the show.
"It's a special collection to celebrate Idul Fitri," said the designer who won the ANZ Australia-Indonesia Young Fashion Designer Award in 2015.
Restu's collection is consists of a series of caftans in adorable hues of aquamarine, lime green and lilac.
The caftans, made of layered chiffon in contrasting colors, fluttered beautifully as the models sashayed on the catwalk last night.
Jenahara's new collection, themed Minaret, is dynamic and fresh. Made of simple blouses, flowing outerwear, flared skirts and Palazzo pants, her collection exudes relaxed elegance of youths in the 1980s.
"It's something simple and practical that you can wear both day and night," said the daughter of senior Indonesian fashion designer and actress Ida Royani (Jenahara).
Ria finalized the show with her collection themed Seashore.
The collection consists of blouses, dresses, caftans and tunics in soft pastel hues. Beautiful illustrations of algae, fishes and seashells adorn her items.
"I was inspired with the beauty of the seashore in Raja Ampat, West Papua, during my recent vacation," Ria said.
All their collections are now available at Muffest and Blibli.com. Their prices range between Rp 399,000 and Rp 1,399,000 ($29-$103).
Muffest will end on Sunday. For more information, visit www.muslimfashionfestival.com.
