Event brings together Indonesian fashion brands and prominent designers to explore the versatility of nature-based fibres across resort, ready-to-wear, and modest fashion
JAKARTA, INDONESIA: Leading viscose producer Asia Pacific Rayon (APR) brought the versatility of nature-based fibres to life at South East Asia’s most reputed fashion event Jakarta Fashion Week along with fashion brands Cap Bali, Manzone & Minimal, and Kami.
The collaboration showcased 48 distinct looks under the theme “Still/Moving”, exploring how viscose and lyocell fibres can be translated into contemporary fashion wear.
“This event shows how Indonesian brands and designers can translate the attributes of viscose and lyocell fibres into very different creative expressions,” said Sachin Malik, Business Head of Asia Pacific Rayon. “From resort wear to modest fashion, the collections demonstrate the adaptability of these fibres while highlighting the creativity and capabilities in Indonesia’s textile and fashion ecosystem.”
Across the different looks, viscose and lyocell fibres were applied in different ways to support each brand’s creative vision. Viscose offers softness, breathability, and natural drape, while lyocell combines smooth feel, strength, and higher moisture absorption rate. Together, these characteristics provide designers with versatile options to create different garment design and applications to better suit consumer preferences.
Bringing together Indonesian brands and creative talent, Cap Bali partnered with designer Musa Widyatmodjo, while Manzone & Minimal collaborated with Rama Dauhan. Kami presented its own interpretation of contemporary modest fashion.
Designers explored how fibre and fabric characteristics can influence silhouette, movement, comfort and functionality. From structured tailoring and relaxed everyday wear to fluid resort and modest-fashion silhouettes, the showcase demonstrated the versatility of viscose and lyocell across different design applications.
The three collections featured distinct interpretations:
- Cap Bali x Musa Widyatmodjo – “Beyond Bali” – developed under the concept of Urbanista Resort, the collection reinterpreted Balinese Pepatran motifs through abstract elements and contemporary resort-wear silhouettes. “Balinese cultural heritage can extend beyond traditional forms and designs. Its values and visual language can continue to evolve and be reinterpreted through a more universal design language that resonates with the lives of today’s generations,” said Fitri Ertaningsih, Owner of Cap Bali.
- Manzone & Minimal x Rama Dauhan – “Bawa Serta”: Combining structured tailoring with relaxed everyday comfort, this collection offered versatile wardrobe essentials that go beyond different occasions. Lyocell blends were used to support the collection’s structure, comfort and breathability.
- Kami – “KURO: Lightness in Modesty”: The collection presented a lighter perspective on modest fashion through relaxed proportions, fluid silhouettes, and botanical motifs. “Rather than making modest fashion feel restrictive, KURO approaches coverage as an opportunity to explore shape, volume, and movement through draping and relaxed silhouettes,” said Istafiana Candarini, Founder and CEO of Kami.
APR contributed viscose and lyocell fibres to the showcase. Through collaboration with Indonesian brands and designers, APR supports the development of textile application that connect fibre innovation with evolving needs of fashion brands and consumers in Indonesia.
Following their presentation at Jakarta Fashion Week 2027, the collections are available through the participating brands’ respective retail channels.
