After years becoming the icon for traditional-formal clothing only, now batik is back as the mainstream in Indonesian fashion.
What used to be seen as old-style, now is worn proudly by teenagers and young adults hanging out in malls. Sounds weird?
No more.
Young executives wear cutting-edge batik to the office, combined with skirt or pants. Batik is always be in the heart of Indonesian, but what make it special today? Because of the acculturation of traditional and modern fashion.
"Balloon design" is in, traditional-simple design is definitely out. This new design allows girls and women in any ages flatter their beautiful figures without worrying that they will look fat or big. Hell yeah, batik is back!
