JAKARTA As an ecosystem that encourages the development of local products and the preservation of Indonesian culture, the Hall of the Kawan Lama Group business brand, has again appeared at the prestigious Indonesia Fashion Week (IFW) 2025, presenting a collection entitled Langgam Urban. This offering is a sign of the strong character of Banten traditional culture which is able to have a harmonious dialogue with modern aesthetics of urban society.
Shown in the fashion show on the second day of IFW 2025, Langgam Urban is a signature collection from the Pendopo that explores the wealth of Banten heritage, especially through the wastra typical of the Baduy Weaving, in contemporary aesthetics typical of metropolitan cities.
Putu Laura, Head of Pendopo, said that this collection was inspired by the spirit of the City of Jakarta which was dynamic.
"Jakarta never sleeps, a city that saves millions of stories, about those who come from all over, carry customs, hopes, and identity. The Urban Langgam is about us, a new way of interpreting traditions in the midst of a changing world. In the midst of the hustle and bustle of the capital city, we want to show that traditions can still live through the medium closest to our daily lives, namely clothing," he said.
This collection includes 18 looks, of which 14 looks for women and 4 looks for men, feature semi-formal forces with dynamical silhouettes as well as entangling asymmetric accents. Materials such as linen, cotton, andplace are also chosen by Pendopo to present a rich, yet still lightweight and comfortable texture game worn. Details such as woven touch, seamed accents, as well as layering techniques add a distinctive character to each fashion, creating an edgy impression without leaving any local value root. Color palettes carried in the Langgam Urban collection also appear brave and expressive, reflecting the spirit and diversity of the characters of urban communities, from soft to eccentric and striking touch.
As a complement, Pendopo introduced modern ethnic accessories in the form of rattan balls that were processed into necklaces, earrings, and pins, then combined with natural stone beads. This combination presents an artistic touch that not only enriches the appearance, but also confirms local identity in modern packaging. In line with IFW 2025,
"Through this approach, the Langgam Urban collection also colored the spirit of the 'Ronakultura Jakarta' carried by IFW this year, of course, to celebrate cultural heritage and adapt to the dynamics of urban lifestyles that continue to grow," added Putu.
