The Slow Fashion Lab, curated by textile artist and lecturer Aprina Murwanti, inspires visitors to take concrete action towards a more sustainable way of dealing with clothes and textiles. It presents examples of sustainable fashion, traditional and local practices from Indonesia that are attentive of the people and environment involved. Visitors to the Slow Fashion Lab are invited to feel, see and learn about sustainable alternatives to fast fashion and engage in DIY-culture. The slow fashion movement is presently gaining significance as a counter-model to so-called fast fashion.
Kreseka
Kreseka from Yogyakarta, owned by Mr Robertus Junaidi and Mrs Reta Margaretha, and independent crafter Mrs Ekawati Prayitno. Kreseka focuses on hot press plastic waste products. In 2015, Kreseka received support from a Design Dispatch Service (DDS) programme from Indonesia’s Ministry of Trade. This support changed the design of Kreseka’s products from plastic flowers to lampshades. Through the support of the ministry, Kreseka could export its lampshade products to South Korea in 2016. Kreseka are part of IKEDA Eco Nature, a local community, that consists of Indonesian crafters concerned with environmental issues and that cooperate with waste banks to reduce plastic waste.
EcoPrint Indonesia
Adapting the ecoprint technique developed by Australian dyer India Flint as well as slow technology as part of her experimentation, Deny Silvie Novia from Eco Printing continues her ecoprint practice-based research using local leaves such as teakwood, lanang leaves and other local materials. Deny established ‘Ecoprint Indonesia’ in early 2016 and has been invited to exhibit her ecoprinting all over the world since. She was recently among the winners of the Australia Awards on International Business Readiness – A Course for The Fashion and Textiles Sector Short Term Award.
