Batik with crystal touch

 Batik with crystal touch

            The wax collection boasted premium quality designs with classic-modern mullet-motif blouses, asymmetrical dresses and silk-based tight-fitting skirts, which looked even more elegant with Swarovski accessories.

            Using wax cotton as the base material, classic-modern patterns and trendy colors were dominant, as apparent in green dresses with flower motifs and a waist obi accent, pink mini dresses with two broad pockets on both sides and various items designed for work and informal occasions.

            In the silk batik collection, modesty and luxury were displayed in dresses with casual designs and natural colors typical of Surakarta’s style and Batik Keris. Apart from handmade batik, there was also printed batik and combinations of both.

            The silk clothes were enhanced by Swarovski crystal beads on the neck, chest and shoulders.

            Silk was indeed the highlight of the fashion show, with Swarovski sparkles radiating an air of glamour. 

            Djongko Raharjo, who was involved in Batik Keris designing, said Swarovski had become popular among designers and fashionable garment consumers.

            “Perhaps glittering dresses make them look more elegant. But the colors of Swarovski beads are also easily adaptable to most outfits.”
