But at least one question remains: What to wear? Is an evening outfit from early 2020 still trendy enough, or have styles changed over more than two years of the COVID-19 pandemic? A number of the country’s leading designers have been presenting their latest collections to answer that question, providing an insight into what will soon be trending in the high-end fashion scene.
These include guipure lace, jacquard and velvet that date back “several decades”, according to Didi. “By using deadstock fabrics, I hope to be able to offset some of the fashion industry’s carbon emissions and respond to the demand for sustainability in the industry,” he said.Meanwhile, Seba foresees a revival in the local couture circle after the pandemic.
He suggested that women would prefer dresses made of lightweight fabrics, such as crêpe, silk, taffeta and tulle. “In high fashion, [this] will be quite a departure from the usual ball gowns made with heavy fabrics.” As for silhouettes, Seba expected mini dresses, crop tops and cropped jackets to make a comeback, while long dresses remain a favorite for evening occasions.
“Likewise, you shouldn’t mix batik with embroidery and sequins and as a result, make them look wagu,” Edo added, using the Javanese word meaning “weird”. The Cruise 2023 collection features sundresses made of silk, chiffon, organdy and crepe de chine, as well as quilted capes, sarong and pajama-style outfits for men.
