  • Exploration of Batik Motifs and Technique
    Vol. 3 No. 2 (2025)

    Batik represents one of the most important traditional garments of the Indonesian archipelago, embodying cultural values, local wisdom, and historical continuity across regions. As a textile tradition, batik is produced through wax-resist techniques that preserve distinctive motifs symbolizing philosophy, social structure, nature, and identity of Nusantara communities. Batik functions not only as clothing but also as a cultural artifact used in rituals, ceremonies, and everyday life. Its continued use in traditional attire demonstrates how batik sustains cultural heritage while adapting to social change, positioning it as a living tradition that connects past, present, and future within Indonesian fashion culture.

  • Batik and Culture
    Vol. 3 No. 1 (2025)

    Batik has expanded beyond its traditional function into the realm of fantasy-inspired fashion, where it becomes a medium for creative exploration and artistic expression. Through imaginative design processes, batik motifs, colors, and textures are transformed into conceptual garments that emphasize visual drama, symbolism, and narrative aesthetics. In fantasy creations, batik is no longer limited to conventional patterns but is reinterpreted through experimental silhouettes, layered structures, and innovative styling techniques that reflect fictional themes and artistic visions. This approach positions batik not only as cultural heritage but also as a contemporary fashion language capable of conveying emotion, character, and storytelling within creative fashion productions.
