Home to 300 ethnic groups, designers no doubt gained inspirations from Indonesia’s rich culture divesity. Presented mainly as dresses, ethnic prints saw Afif Syakur‘s long fitted maxi and Ghea Panggabean‘s tribal shift dress. Danar Hadi Agnes played with a splash of red in his asymmetric neckline dress while Budhisurya explored a blue colour palette in an intriguing print.
