Renowned Indonesian fashion designer Didiet Maulana has unveiled his 1970s-inspired pre-fall/winter collection ‘Eksotika Mamiri,’ made using the country’s traditional woven fabrics.
 
The designer’s new clothing line blends the rich embroidery of Tasikmalaya, West Java and tassel work of Bukittinggi, West Sumatra on the Makassar of South Sulawesi’s geometrical-patterned fabric ‘Ikat’.
 
The 36 ensembles of the feminine yet powerful collection can be worn both for daytime meetings and evening cocktails. 
 
The bohemian apparel range features overdress caftans, stylized turbans, loose long-sleeved blouses, knee-length skirts, glamorous oversized robes, silky jumpsuits and one-shoulder and tube dresses in eye-catching hues like purple, green, orange and red wine.
 
Didiet Maulana is known for his endeavour to promote Indonesian crafts, through a fashion line named ‘IKAT Indonesia by Didiet Maulana.’ It is a concept that aims to bring the nation’s cultural heritage to the surface through modern fashion. The line highlights the tenun Ikat process, which is a resistant dyeing technique similar to tie and dye and is used to pattern warp and weft fabrics.
