JYK is Back on the Milan Fashion Stage with Lubuklinggau Durian Batik

For the second time after successfully making a breakthrough last year, the JYK fashion label fronted by designer Jenny Yohana Kansil and Batik Durian Lubuklinggau will again appear on the stage of the Emerging Talents Milan Fashion Show fashion week which will take place at Palazzo Visconti, Milan, Italy on Wednesday, September 21, 2022. Unlike the previous year, this time JYK married digital processing with the traditional heritage of batik through redesign. JYK label collaborates with batik artisans in creating new batik motifs that appear more contemporary and are believed to be accepted by the international market.
This batik motif was built through images processed from direct durian photos found in a durian garden in Lubuklinggau, South Sumatra. The exploration of the durian flower which has its own beauty makes it a focus that may not be widely known by the public. The Spring Summer 2023 collection, entitled 'Egalitarian', takes a silhouette from the 1970s, which symbolizes the year of freedom and equality. In addition, these years are also considered the most fashionable decade of all time. This collection of 10 clothing consists of a wide design range from mini skirts to midi skirts, with A-line silhouettes, modern crop tops, high waist silhouettes, flared jeans to floral elegance with collection designs dominated by statement sleeves.
The 1970s style also declared itself that 'there are no rules in the world of fashion' which is in line with JYK's brand DNA that dares to break boundaries and is full of imagination. Traditional batik leaves its natural impression when transformed into sporty designs and colorful collections that without a doubt combine materials from silk taffeta to stretch jersey, heavy wool stripes and light silk organza, and are complemented by sporty ribbon accessories. Not only that, the spirit of sustainable fashion is also still carried by the JYK label, with this collection using organic materials and leftover batik fabrics used as decorations, appliqués, and knitted with embroidery techniques.

This collection also reaffirms JYK's consistency with brand DNA that dares to cross boundaries after last year applying batik to the Punk style, and now bringing batik with a sporty style combination. This is shown through a color mood that is dominated by layered neutral colors such as a combination of dark and light brown, which surprisingly gives a new color that catches the eye. In addition, there are also bright colors such as blue and orange that create a sporty look. This color is balanced by Italian clay tones, touches of pink and green. The variety of colors in this collection is equal and even.

Carrying the theme 'Egalitarian', or egalitarian, this collection carries the concept of equality, belief in equal rights, and equal opportunities for every individual. This idea emerged from various events in the world today, starting from the world's reaction to the war that hit Russia-Ukraine which throws memories of the 1970s, the year when people protested the Vietnam war with the role of a superpower behind it. In the end, regardless of race, gender, social status and country, we are all the same. We are homo sapiens who face the same problem and feel threatened; starting from the covid pandemic, global warming, reduced supply of resources, poverty, education and empowerment, gender equality, human rights issues, and getting worse with issues related to war and nuclear. The 'Egalitarian' collection then also becomes the need for a sense of peace so that all of us, humans, can live side by side to create a better space. We are all created to live freely, and use our freedom to help others with love instead of manipulating them to support that freedom. And speaking of love and freedom, there is a story from Lubuklinggau where this batik comes from which also carries both. The story is known as the Legend of Putri Silampari which reveals equality, empowerment and a strong female figure from Lubuklinggau.
There are various versions of this story, but in this case what is taken is the spirit of the figure of Putri Silampari who is aware of her power and freedom to have an equal position with men. A person who does not give up easily and is able to make decisions for himself. That said, Princess Silampari, is the daughter of the couple Selendang Kuning and King Linggau. Her beauty reached the ears of the Prince of Palembang so that he wanted to propose to Princess Silampari to unite Palembang and Lubuklinggau. However, the Princess who has principles and does not give up easily refuses the proposal. His brother, Pangeran Linggau then made a lubuk, a deep basin at the bottom of the river, for a hiding place.
