Java D'Arc
This portfolio was flown away to Milan, and it became one of my pride to say it so. This is a collection that Priyo Oktaviano made exclusively for Batik Danar Hadi due to its program to bring Batik Indonesia to a global market, and yes this collection has been presented in Milan.
The collection itself was inspired by Heroines from traditional Javanese puppetries stories, Srikandi, Drupadi, Kunti, Arimbi, Larasati, Wara Sembrada, Trijata, and Rengganis. Priyo would like to show pictures of Indonesian women like these heroines, soft, sensual, religious but yet powerful and strong in her own way. Therefore, I was remember of French Heroine, Jeanne D’Arc who has some of similar characteristics that Priyo wants to pictures. Using material Batik Tulis Keraton Solo from Batik Danar Hadi, Priyo chose timeless basic technique, drapes, that embrace traditional twist which gives the look become more elegant and embelished it with gold metal stud and accents to put the strength to it.
