SPECIAL EVENT

HARI BATIK NASIONAL

7 October 2022

AGNES BUDHISURYA
SIMPULL & AMITHYA
Padus GITA SELARAS INDONESIA
2.00 - 4.00 pm

Agnes Budhisurya, Simpull and Amitya made another breakthrough with their latest collection. The trademark of Agnes Budhisurya's wearable artwork shows that the brushstrokes were not meant only to be on the canvas but on every surface visible for people to admire.

The next brand was Amithya. The bright colours sewn with patches of Batik fabrics made the collection playful and fun. Added the show with upbeat, nostalgic music, the audience did not just enjoy the presentation but sang along to the tunes as models danced with great cheer.

The third was Simpull. The fashion house made a flowy and fairy-like presentation with the chiffon and organza texture mixed with Indonesian cloth. From Balinese Poleng to Javanese Batik and Tenun ikat, the variety of characters that each tradition represents made this collection one of a kind.

Last but not least, it was time for the grand presentation of golden voices from the Gita Selaras Indonesia choir. Mrs Asye Ashar made an introduction speech as the leader of the group. She gave interesting information on how the choir formed and how the members united despite their background, age and faith differences. With their renowned conductor Mr Soni Panggabean, they made the attendance in awe of their vocal strengths and heartfelt message.
