JAKARTA - As part of the Adams who claim to dress simpler, singer Andy /rif whose full name is Restu Triandy admires the beauty of the kebaya traditional dress which makes the wearer more elegant.

"The female berbaya is beautiful with a conde, bungg or gelung if in Sundanese, also cloth wrapped, I admire her," Andy said as quoted by ANTARA, Wednesday, August 31.

"A woman looks different after being wrapped in a kebaya, more elegant," continued Andy, who wore a shirt, vest and white hat.

Andy sang with the band accompanies a red and white kebaya fashion show, the model being 17 women across professions such as Shahnaz Haque, Lola Amaria, Sundari Soekotjo to the Minister of Women's Empowerment & Child Protection I Gusti Ayu Bintang Darmawati.

It takes time and effort to wear kebaya and all its beautiful knick-knacks, complete with traditional bung look. Kebaya also consists of various types and requires detailed knowledge in combining kebaya, cloth and complementary accessories. For example, Balinese kebaya and Javanese kebaya wear a scarf in a different way. The process that was carried out by the women was applauded by Andy.

"As a man who is only simple in clothes, I salute and am proud," said the 53-year-old vocalist.

Kebaya is indeed synonymous as a woman's dress, but apparently Andy once had the idea to wear his wife's kebaya as a gig costume. He combined the kebaya with leather pants. His unique appearance reaped praise, he recalled.

"At that time it was still thin, so it fit, it turned out to be cool, I combined it with leather pants. They didn't realize that what I was wearing was a kebaya. I didn't know suddenly this idea was interesting, you know," Andy said, adding that he was gaining weight, making him never borrow his wife's clothes again.

Kebaya is used as a cultural identity, then does Andy have a similar dress that he wears as an identity? "I don't go to formal batik, but rather to a touch of cloth (Nusantara)," said the man who likes cycling.

One of them is a hoodie with a typical woven cloth of Nusa Tenggara which looks beautiful when viewed by the eyes, as well as in front of the camera.

While joking, Andy added, "I also look handsome there."
