Santika offers fashion program

YOGYAKARTA: Santika Hotel Yogyakarta on Jl. Sudirman is offering
a fashion luncheon program this weekend, featuring 15 designers
from the local chapter of the Association of Indonesian Fashion
Businesspeople and Designers.

Titled the Charisma of Yogyakarta Tradition, the program is
scheduled to take place at the hotel's Pandansari Restaurant this
Saturday starting at 11:30 a.m.

"Among the designers taking part in the program are local
designers with national reputations such as Ramadhani and batik
designer Afif Syakur," Erma Wheny H, a Santika public relations
officer, said.

Held in conjunction with the anniversary of the Yogyakarta
municipality, which falls on July 7, the program is also meant as
a way to promote Yogyakarta through the cultural richness of its
fashion.

Among the clothes that will be presented at the show are
modified versions of traditional kebaya (women's blouses) and
casual batik dresses.

"The basic concept of the fashion show is mix and match,"
Wheny said, adding that a series of door prizes would also be
given away, as well as a grand prize of a round-trip air ticket
for Yogyakarta to Jakarta, plus a voucher for a free stay at the
Santika Hotel Jakarta. -- JP
