Bali Fashion Week VII postponed to November 2007
Bali, April 2006 – The current Indonesian economy has affected every companies' marketing & promotion decisions. As Bali strives to regain the trust of the international community, ModaBali Foundation (for the seventh time), struggles to provide an international promotion medium for Indonesian business players in fashion & textile, as well as bringing potential international business interest to Indonesia, through an annual international trade event, Bali Fashion Week.
 After a thorough evaluation of all economic aspects in Indonesia including the lack of financial support from government to name a few, ModaBali Foundation decided to postpone The Bali Fashion Week VII that was scheduled to be held on 4 – 7 June 2006 to November 2007.
“Batik on Tencel®” project that was an original part of this years’ Bali Fashion Week VII will proceed as scheduled.
The project is supported by Lenzing (PT. South Pacific Viscose – Indonesia), senior batik artisan, Mr. KRT Daud Wiryo Hadi Nagoro, and Indonesian fashion designers who have succeeded in their international break through. Following are the designers involved in "Batik on Tencel" project: Agnes Caroline (Bali), Ali Charisma (Bali), Arifan Mas (Jakarta), Denny Kho (Jakarta), Dina Midiani (Jakarta), Musa Widyatmodjo (Jakarta), Oka Diputra (Bali), and Taruna Kusmayadi (Jakarta).
The aim of this project is to show additional options of how to offer the traditional batik techniques in Indonesian’s Khazana to the international market fulfilling the various needs and tastes (from ethnic to modern styles).
“Batik on Tencel®” collection will be presented as part of the pre-launching of Bali Fashion Week 2007 as well as promoted by designers & sponsors, locally and internationally through various events.
We hope that within the following year, the economic conditions in Indonesia will develop, where all business players have more confidence in conducting their promotions locally as well as internationally. We still highly believe in the strength possessed by the Industry in Indonesia to create competitive & unique products for both, domestic and international consumption. However, the great assistance and support from the Indonesian government will be much needed in order to gain maximum results from the Bali Fashion Week event that functions as one of the vehicles for promoting Indonesian fashion & textile industry to the world market.
