Australian menswear designer Chris Ran Lin shared the stage with two Australian alumni at Jakarta Fashion Week.
The Melbourne-based designer showcased his latest collection at an Australian Embassy runway show on October 21.
Lin uses intricate knitted patterns to produce elaborate knitwear and wool tailoring that is colourful and soft, but masculine.
Every year, the fashion industry adds $15 billion to the Indonesian economy and employs four million Indonesians.
Lin was joined by Indonesian designers Jenahara Black Label and Monday to Sunday.
The designers behind the two labels, Jenahara Nasution and Mellyun Xing, have participated in an Australia Awards international business readiness short course for the fashion and textile sector.
The Australia Awards is a scholarship funded by the Australian Government offering the next generation of Indonesian leaders an opportunity to undertake study, research and professional development.
Australian Chargé d'Affaires to Indonesia Dr Bradley Armstrong said the collections being presented reflect the sophistication and creativity of Australian and Indonesian fashion designers.
“These designers are at the cutting edge of global fashion trends and it’s exciting to see their new collections at Jakarta Fashion Week,” Dr Armstrong said.
This is the fourth year Australian designers have featured at Jakarta Fashion Week.
