Indonesian Fashion Chamber develops LSP Fashion Indonesia to strengthen industry competence
The Indonesian Fashion Chamber (IFC) is developing a number of projects related to strengthening Indonesia’s fashion ecosystem, including the Lembaga Sertifikasi Profesi (LSP) Fashion Indonesia.
“This project is not only about certification, but about how we build competency standards for Indonesian fashion human resources so that they have more measurable and professional competencies,” said IFC co-founder Lisa Fitria in Jakarta on Wednesday.
Lisa said LSP Fashion Indonesia is being developed with five competency schemes: Assistant Fashion Designer, Junior Fashion Designer, Fashion Designer, Fashion Stylist, and Creative Director.
In addition to developing the LSP, Lisa is also working on a fashion concept that combines sustainable fashion, luxury, modest fashion, and lifestyle. One of these ideas is directed at developing a brand that targets clothing and lifestyle needs for umrah and hajj travel.
“The concept is how worship needs can be translated into modern, quality, sustainable fashion products that also have global positioning,” she said.
Lisa said she has a dream of developing the brand to the point of having shops or outlets spread across various countries.
“That is one of the dreams that we are now starting to build,” she said.
On the occasion, Lisa outlined her plans to hold a fashion show for her latest collection in October in collaboration with batik artisans.
She said the collection will feature batik with polka dot motifs made in a contemporary style and combined with other batik motifs that are also developed contemporarily.
The fashion show will be held at Into Motion Fest, which is part of the Indonesia Sharia Economic Festival (ISEF) initiated by Bank Indonesia in cooperation with the Indonesian Fashion Chamber.
Lisa said the various projects developed by IFC share a common thread: encouraging Indonesian fashion not only to produce beautiful products, but also to build value in identity, competence, and sustainability.
She hopes that the works and projects developed will not stop at the creation of clothing, but will also contribute to the broader development of Indonesia’s fashion industry.
She also plans to pursue a master’s degree in the creative industry this year. In her research, Lisa wants to explore a roadmap for Muslim fashion in Indonesia to become a global centre for modest sustainable fashion.
