Indonesian fashion designers shine on Batik Day

It was Batik Day at the residence, Wisma Indonesia in Red Hill on Saturday, as fashion-minded Canberra women gathered to view the latest in fashion design from our huge northern neighbour.
Batik, the famous wax-resistance dyeing process used in many countries around the world (Nefertiti was clad in batik) is universally acknowledged to have reached its artistic apogee in Central Java, so that in 2009 Indonesian batik was designated a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage, meaning that the event also served as an outlet for public education on batik.
Saturday’s fashion exercise was largely the brainchild of Marsia Gustiananda Pramono, wife of Indonesian ambassador Siswo Pramono, and was part of the Indonesia Modest Fashion Week Melbourne.
