As we prepare for the JF3 2025 fashion show, excitement fills the air. I am eager to share insights into our latest collaboration with the talented Indonesian fashion designer, Ernesto Abram. This marks our third partnership and follows up on our successful debut at JF3 2024. Our new collection, titled "Radical Revolutionary," encapsulates a spirit of change, courage, and freedom of expression by blending futuristic, traditional, avant-garde, and modern contemporary elements.

The "Radical Revolutionary" collection emerged from a strong desire to create an impactful and innovative form of expression. In a world that is continually shifting, we aimed to renew the modern nationalism movement. This collection celebrates living in the moment while symbolizing the last shield—the final frontier for us as Indonesians—as we strive to protect our nation amid global challenges.

The Vision Behind the Collection

Ernesto Abram had a clear vision for this collection: instilling a sense of patriotism in younger generations through a universal style and language. By integrating bold, modern aesthetics with traditional motifs, this collection forms a unique narrative that resonates deeply with both local and global audiences.

For instance, one standout piece from the runway features a fluid, gold corset top — produced by Purwarupa — paired with a shimmering, textured skirt. The corset’s sculptural form captures the essence of strength and protection, while its silky, organic finish keeps it elegant and wearable. By combining avant-garde structure with luxurious materials, this piece bridges the gap between traditional craftsmanship and futuristic design, making it both a visual statement and a celebration of Indonesian artistry.

Design Elements and Inspirations

Focusing on a theme of modernity and revolution, the collection prominently features corset designs — produced by Purwarupa — that blend structure with fluidity. One example is the sculpted gold corset, with its armor-like form softened by a smooth, silky surface, giving it both strength and elegance. Another is the striking red corset, asymmetrical and organic in shape, paired with delicate lace sleeves and flowing pleated trousers. This piece embodies movement and passion, standing out as a bold visual statement on the runway.

These corsets are more than garments; they act as wearable sculptures, each one telling a story of resilience, identity, and forward-thinking design. Ernesto’s preference for luxurious, tactile materials allows the corsets to feel protective yet comfortable, making them pieces that inspire confidence in the wearer.

The color palette plays a significant role in amplifying the message. The powerful red evokes courage and nationalism, the gold suggests prestige and timeless beauty, and touches of silver add a futuristic edge. Together, these colors create a collection that feels rooted in heritage yet ready for the world stage.
