‘Sira niki…’ Ingin bangkitkan tekstil tradisional

Even Bali Fashion Week (BFW) tidak terlepas dari peran aktif sosok Mardiana Ika.

Tidak heran jika saat ditanya tentang BFW yang akan digelar menjadi ajang peragaan busana 22 - 25 November, wajahnya spontan cerah dan sumringah.

Wanita kelahiran 22 Januari yang tidak pernah mau menyebut tahunnya itu, mengatakan telah menyiapkan BFW ketujuh ini dengan matang, dengan dukungan dari banyak pihak.

Ika tidak berlebihan, karena berdasarkan pengalaman sebelumnya, BFW mampu menarik buyers, perancang, dan media internasional hanya melalui jaringan pertemanan yang dimilikinya, khususnya mengandalkan hubungan baiknya dengan kalangan fashion global.

“Saya lihat eksportir dan garmen sudah mulai tumbuh kembali, acara ini untuk menimba ilmu dari pelaku fashion dunia,” kata pemilik label Butoni & Linea Sanrem serta Iccha & Ikabene itu kepada Bisnis.

Ide awal menggagas BFW, lanjut dia, adalah keinginan untuk menciptakan suatu even yang menampilkan citra, bisnis, dan peluang, khususnya untuk perdagangan ekspor dan pariwisata.

Kedua kegiatan itu diharapkan mengangkat kekayaan ragam budaya tekstil tradisional di Indonesia seperti, batik, songket, ikat, sarong dan lainnya.

Melalui ajang ini dia ingin memperluas pangsa pasar industri fashion Indonesia, tidak hanya ke Eropa Barat atau Amerika Serikat, tapi juga membuka jalur ekspor ke Eropa Timur, Timur Tengah dan Amerika Selatan. Selain itu dia juga terobsesi meningkatkan daya saing terhadap negara lain seperti China, Jepang, Singapura, Korea Selatan, dan Malaysia. (BISNIS/k2)

ayip October 4th, 2007

DENPASAR (Antara): Bali will host Fashion Week 2007 in Kuta next November, a spokesperson for the event’s organizers said Tuesday.

This year’s event will focus on local participants without neglecting foreign buyers, chairwoman of the event’s organizing committee Mardiana Ika said after a meeting with Badung district chief AA Gde Agung.

Mardiana said Bali Fashion Week would help promote the island and the country internationally because the event would be attended by foreign designers.

Gde Agung called on the organizer to involve local designers, saying the event was important to give them an opportunity to deal with international designers.

Garments from Bali have gained access to the European Union, the United States and other Asian nations with total revenue of US$89.2 million in the first eight months of 2007.

That amount represents a 10 percent increase from the same period in 2006 when the figure was $80.5 million. (**)
