Exploration Of Rote Island Culture, Celebration Of Elements Of Marine Beauty And Nature In NAIIA Collection

JAKARTA - Known for its unique combination of contemporary and wastra-Indonesian styles, KHA'SOE, a fashion brand that creates innovative, traditional, as well as minimalist silhouettes presents exclusive products with high aesthetic value and functionality.

In his debut collection titled TRESNO, KHA' SOE respects the cultural and heritage roots of Java Island by integrating batik wastra in every design. One of their flagship products, oversized suits, caught the attention of the global market, especially buyers from Europe and Asia, when it was exhibited at the 2024/2025 Premiere Classe Fall/Winter event at Paris Fashion Week 2024.

Continuing its creative journey, KHA'SOE conducts cultural exploration throughout the archipelago for its second collection. This journey ends in Rote Island, East Nusa Tenggara, which then becomes the main inspiration for the second collection of KHA'SOE, NAIIA. Rote Island, which is surrounded by beautiful sea and nature, represents the core element of this collection.

In local Rote, NAIIA means women and happiness. This philosophy is in line with KHA' SOE's vision described by Kharisma Bibitani, co-founder and Creative Director of KHASOE: Women are the backbone of our brand. Starting from the two of us as founders, to our team, most of whom are women. With each stitches, we created an empowerment narrative.

Furthermore, Caroline Soerachmat, founder and Creative Director of KHA'SOE, added: We are also collaborating with female craftsmen from Rote Island who make handmade wastra weaving. Our vision is to empower women on Rote Island who have the same passion and purpose, namely to introduce the culture of Rote Island through the work of KHA'SOE.

The KHA'S SOE "NAIIA" collection was exhibited at the prestigious Premiere Classe Spring/Summer Collection event at Paris Fashion Week 2025, October 2024. KHA'SOE, Sartorial Divine, Proud of Indonesia.
