TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Four of Australia`s most talented Islamic fashion designers launched their latest collections in Jakarta at the Indonesia International Islamic Fashion and Products exhibition being held from September 9 to 13 at the Jakarta Convention Centre.
Amalina Ama, and Eisha Saleh (Baraka), and Howayda Moussa and Hanadi Chehab (Integrity Boutique) are Australian designers, whose beautiful ready-to-wear collections combine simple cuts and comfortable styles for day to evening occasions, the Australian Embassy said on its official website on Thursday.
Their styles vary from the classy to feminine and the dramatic and mesh perfectly with this years theme Ethnic Urbanovative.
"Australia is very proud of its Muslim community, which comes from a wide variety of backgrounds, including the Middle East, South Asia, Eastern Europe and South East Asia," said Alison Purnell, Counsellor, Advocacy and Outreach.
"These Muslim communities have brought with them a wealth of different ideas, skills and talents. Our four designers are an example of this," Ms. Purnell said.
The event will allow the designers to explore their creativity further with their Indonesian counterparts.
In conjunction with the Indonesia International Islamic Fashion and Products 2015, Women-In-Global-Business Indonesia (WIGBI) will hold a workshop on Friday, September 11, to provide technical assistance to established female business owners or female directors in the fashion industry, who are working towards becoming export-ready.
