Indonesian fashion designer, Novita Yunus amazed everyone with eco friendly prints and represents Indonesian handwoven heritage in her new collection showcased at Amazon India Fashion Week (AIFW).
Novita was honored to visit India to showcase her new collection “BhoomiLangit”, presented by Jakarta Fashion Week which was dominated by prints of the Sun and leaves. When asked about the concept on which her collection is based on, she replied, “This line also represents Indonesian handwoven heritage. My concept depicts the sky and the earth. And the sky is represented by the symbol of the Sun, which mean glory and wisdom. I represented earth with the eco-prints.”
The designer’s show witnessed shades of brown, grey, black as the models donned cropped jackets, draped skirts, three-fourth length culottes and skirts layered with capes and scarves. The models walked down the ramp in wedge heels and slick ponytails. Accessories represented the roots of the collection as they were inspired by nature. Big chunky necklaces with Indian motifs, handbags , hats and more accentuated the earthiness of the whole collection.
Use of eco prints like leaves which have been used in textile prints using all natural dye added another element to the show. Play with silk, cut work and lot of rust and indigo color can be seen throughout the collection. “This is the new trend in sustainable fashion”, Novita told post-show.
