#dewaraja

OMG, I abandoned this blog too much long! I was too busy and too lazy at the same time, lol.

Okay, so, I was went to Iwan Tirta Fashion Show 2015 at Fairmont Hotel, Jakarta. As the collection... it went pretty good. BUT, the services when I registered wasn’t so good. Bad actually. But, enough about that.

So this time the collection theme was “Dewaraja”

“Dewaraja” celebrates Iwan Tirta’s singular way of thinking and contributions in preserving the heritage of batik. For this collection, creative director Era Soekamto looks outside the mainstream batik motifs that we often see and instead takes inspiration from the ancient motifs, which focus on the documentation of the history of Nusantaras as meticulously done by the maestro. 

Named after the sacred concept of a king who achieved a god-like spiritual state-of-mind, this collection is divided into three sequences that portray such journey; Dualism – Samsara Nirvana, Reflection – Siwaratri Kalpa and Light upon light - Antahkarana. Through each batik motif, "Dewaraja” reflects Iwan Tirta’s deep-rooted appreciation of the golden age of Nusantara and makes this legacy relevant for the modern times.
