JAKARTA - Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy Sandiaga Uno said anyone who registers Citayam Fashion Week (CFW) as an Intellectual Property Rights (HAKI) must transparently explain its intent and purpose.

"If those who register CFW with HAKI are based on who gets it first, it's very unfair because the big ones will definitely go faster considering they have great legal advisors," said Sandiaga as quoted by ANTARA, Monday, July 25.

It is known that Baim Wong registered IPR on CFW with the Ministry of Law and Human Rights. By law, anyone, continued Sandiaga, can register IPR with the Citayam Fashion Week brand.

However, Sandiaga reminded that Citayam Fashion Week should not be monopolized by an elite group because the concept presented in this phenomenon is the democratization of the fashion sub-sector with broad public ownership.

"I don't want to have bad prejudices, I want to think well if Baim's intentions are good to provide protection and work together with the Sudirman, Citayam, Bojong Gede, and Depok (SCBD) children's groups," he said.

Sandiaga plans to hold discussions so that Citayam Fashion Week becomes a brand that empowers and provides opportunities for many young talents in the fashion sub-sector.

“I still have good prejudice and want to coordinate with Mas Baim. The most important thing is that SCBD children can be facilitated, empowered, no one is wronged, no one is being held hostage. The CFW brand has been branded and institutionalized. My hope is that this will not trigger pros and cons, but think about what is best for children, fashion trends, and economic revival and job creation," said Sandiaga.

Menparekraf expects the Citayam Fashion Week trend phenomenon in the Dukuh Atas area, Sudirman, Jakarta, which had caused traffic jams to prevent gathering in one public space.

To solve this problem, the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy together with the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government coordinated to find new public spaces for teenagers who gathered in Dukuh Atas, for example in various public spaces in the southern part of the MRT.

"Last night I took the train and thought why can't CFW be done in the train carriage? It would be nice to be filled with the latest fashion on the carriage. It could also be Citayam Fashion on the Train, it could be a sustainable phenomenon," he said. .
