Range Plan
The silhouettes which communicate significant elements of the culture, including exaggerated shoulders, sarong skirt (a traditional wrap skirt), and a printed piece of fabric inspired by traditional weaved textile called Ulos.
Technical Flats
The key jacket features a discarded cable-weaved corset that is styled to overlaps the base jacket and one side of the exaggerated-shouldered vest, adding depth and complexity to the design. The detachable vest and lapels with shaped edges allowing for easy customization and versatility. False draped ankle-length skirt is a nod to Batak attire. An additional Ulos printed piece of fabric is draped and tucked into the skirt which adds a modern twist. The layering and separate pieces in the design emphasize sustainability by providing longevity for the wearer to style the designs in their own way.
