Prodo Magnificent Batik Night

On monday evening, I attended batik fashion show with the theme of Four Season held by Prodo Magazine in Hotel Mulia, Senayan. If you’re confused, batik is Indonesian traditional fashion with unique patterns that has been used national-wide. Prodo Magazine has managed to held this huge event of batik designs competition (Lomba Rancang Busana Batik) and fashion show, combined with entertainment from Indonesian singers and dancers to help batik recognized globally. And I really appreciate the effort.

Please check more stories, pictures and videos about the magnificent batik night on my blog :)

    Here in Malaysia, we also have a thriving batik fashion industry. But if truth be told, I much prefer the elegant designs of Indonesian batik. Malaysian designs tend to be gaudy. Two thumbs up for Indonesian batik!

    But the Malaysian government is trying to help the batik industry and last week announced that it is compulsory for government workers to wear batik every Thursday to work. And it must be ‘Malaysian’ batik. Yes, I am also puzzled as to how they are going to enforce the “Malaysian” rule!

    We have 1 million plus govt workers for a population of 26 million. That works out to a lot of batik!!
