JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Deputy Governor Ahmad Riza Patria responded to Baim Wong and Paula Verhoven's actions to register the Citayam Fashion Week brand with the Directorate General of Intellectual Property of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights through PT Tiger Wong Entertainment.

Registration of intellectual property rights (HAKI) is the right of everyone, including Baim Wong, but Riza emphasized that the Citayam Fashion Week event belongs to the community.

"It belongs to the public. If CFW is registered as IPR by Baim Wong, yes, it belongs to the public. You can't play with claims. We don't make claims like that. It belongs to all," said Riza at DKI Jakarta City Hall, Monday, July 25. .

Riza revealed that the stylish appearance event held by SCBD teenagers aka Sudirman, Citayam, Bojonggede and Depok is a community creation that penetrates exclusivity and is not limited to the upper class.

"Usually, what is called fashion is limited to people from the upper middle class. Now this phenomenon is changing, it can be done by anyone. The general public, simple people can have creativity. That's something positive," he said.

For information, judging from the Intellectual Property Database (PDKI), Sunday, July 24, registration for Citayam Fashion Week was carried out on July 20, 2022 with the application number JID2022052181.

In addition to companies owned by Baim Wong and Paula, Citayam Fashion Week is registered by Indigo Aditya Nugroho. The application was received on July 21, 2022 with the application number JID2022052496.

Because they were caught registering intellectual property rights, netizens also thought that Baim Wong had 'stealed' ideas from young people from the outskirts of Jakarta. However, not wanting to have a long polemic, Baim also gave a clarification via Instagram on Monday, July 25.

"This Citayam Fashion Week doesn't belong to me.... It belongs to all of them, it belongs to Indonesia. I'm just a person who has a vision of making Citayam Fashion Week a place to make this trend a legal and non-seasonal place. And most importantly, can advance Indonesian fashion in the eyes of the world," wrote Baim.

Having a wife who is an international model, Baim has a vision to seriously develop this street fashion show. "Why am I moved? It all started because of my wife. Because she understands the world of fashion and she sees Citayam Fashin Week as a movement where people care about fashion," he said.

Baim confirmed that he had coordinated with Citayam Fashion Week initiators including Bong, Roy, Kurmam and Jeje. He assured that if there was a result of his vision, it would be returned to the children.
