Jakarta - Fever batik

Jakarta - Fever batik. So if we want to observe the trend of fashion lately. Batik clothing no longer appears as a formal event or even be invited. Batik presence everywhere, in offices, schools, entertainment venues and shopping malls. Wearer is no longer an adult, but also the new kid gede (ABG) and adolescents who usually like to appear fashionable. Short said, batik has become 'clothes hanging'.

In the midst of 100 years of National Awakening, batik like to find its own momentum to rise. Adjie Notonegoro, top Indonesian fashion designers, is very proud of this phenomenon batik fever.

We met at the shop in Jalan Radio In South Jakarta, Adjie Notonegoro that had belonged to the nation hakpatenkan Indonesian kebaya invite all Indonesian people to love batik. "Batik is Indonesian national heritage, no anyone who can beat the work of Indonesian batik," said Adjie.

Why batik could rise and become a trend that hit the young people? How long this trend will last batik?

Swathed in a red shirt and jeans, when found AFP, the man who had been the sole representative of the Asian fashion designers in the following Pramode prestigious fashion show in Munich, with fever comment casually peeling and batik.

The following are extracts from the AFP interview with Ronald Tanamas Adjie Notonegoro in the House of Adjie in numbers Radio Dalam, South Jakarta:


What do you think about batik fever that struck all circles in this country lately?

Currently I am very proud as a designer for the Indonesian nation, because of batik has been loved by all ages. The young boy who was not like batik is now the hallmark of his nation like his own.

I hope this is not just a trend for a moment to remember just because it represents the cultural heritage of batiks from Indonesia. I always promote batik when visiting foreign countries, so that other nations can realize that batik is owned by the Indonesian nation.

What reason could batik preferred by young people and now it appears even fever batik?

Since the year 2007 so the trend somewhat batik in the world. Some Indonesian designers to initially make batik designs can also be worn by young children with clothes designed for everyday and also for the party. My definition of batik not only for everyday clothes but can also be made for a very special evening gown.

What are your reasons for choosing the design with batik, batik identical when used with old things?

I love batik. From the beginning of my career in fashion design, certainly at the end of the event to show there is an exhibition of batik and kebaya. In 1989-1990 I was the only Asian fashion designers from participating in Pramode Munich with batik prada exhibiting my work in such a prestigious show.

Very good response from the community there. What is important here, because for the batik abroad it is very Crowded motif. But if we could combine into something so beautiful can produce an extraordinary admiration.

For example when I go to Laos, Canberra, the Philippines and New Zealand. Community there very enthusiastic with my evening gown made from batik combined with an appropriate color finally becomes something very beautiful.

Why were imaged with clothes batik parents?

If dahalu batik is very identical to the parent, that we have caused in the brainwash with western styles. Where the design of the west was touted better than our own making. Just so you know batik can now be paired with jeans, Capri pants. Batik can be combined with anything. Batik can also be used for elegant, casual and formal though.

Batik received positive response from the community abroad. Actually, what factors they liked about the batik itself?

Each overseas, I'm not just doing batik performances only. For example in the Philippines, I was given the opportunity by them as a guest lecturer at the university there. Sometimes I also make the seminars there as well. And that's when I give advice how to make batik in mixing colors and so forth.

Batik's color mixing natural with no chemicals at all. They admire that. The more important they judge to make batik is testing the patience and thoroughness.

Expensive batik is batik, which is done in a long time, because done with painstaking, patient in drawing and color combinations are combined motif is very beautiful and wonderful. Therefore, according to their batik is something very special.

Some time ago had no feud between Indonesia and Malaysia because it is caused beberpa, one of which is batik. How do you think?

I really like this course, please patenting a Malaysian batik. But we have to beat Malaysia and remember the message from the mother country that every craftsmen, weavers throughout Indonesia had to write, this is a man-made or made in Indonesia to let the world know that it is batik made in Indonesia.

If the difference batik Indonesia and Malaysia is very far away. I am sure with 100%, Malaysia can not make batik with Indonesian style. Because of Malaysia's own take batik-batik of Indonesia to put in Malaysiaa. For me to say sorry to see batik Malaysia, because it is not attractive in my opinion. Now we must menghakpatenkan owned Indonesian batik. For example on 14 November 2006 on the initiative of my mother country belongs bagsa menghakpatenkan Indonesian kebaya.

According to you, where lies our mistake to Malaysian batik can say belongs to them?

We apologize if I said here, people always say Indonesia is too late. Here too late we mean very late to confess everything. But later after outsiders recognize, our new noise. It's our fault, well now with experiences like this let us patented what we have and are owned by the Indonesian nation.

Batik-making process was like what?

From plain materials, our image is, our new batik, after our new dibatik night after night we love color, as we love the color, washed our new process. Batik making should be gradual and not so long.

What is the value of batik overseas?

Overseas communities greatly appreciate the work of someone. The difference with us. Community Suppose abroad can appreciate batik USD 25 million. While our society is only USD 4 million.

I do not sell overseas batik shirt but only offers batik designs and promotions at the same time there. International community clearly appreciates the work of someone more than our nation. Examples like this only if our society would say that my love of design is expensive, but try if buying from the plazas with the reputable brand too expensive would be considered cheap.

How do you think that batik is not just a trend for a moment alone?

I think the government should help promote batik. For example the workers and officials are required to wear batik in a week two times on Monday and Friday. For example in India the entire community of all ages love the sari. Please dong Indonesian people also like it with batik love forever.
